They did a great paint job on the outside. I haven't used it yet so I don't know how it will work but I'm sure it will.

Every home needs more than one of these. They are easy to use, instructions are simple and clear

Perfect size. Not heavy and does the job.

Great item great price

Good small extinguisher. As a 10-year volunteer firefighter, I know something about these. Every home needs at least one unit. This one is wrongly linked to a larger A-B-C extinguisher, meaning it's too small for wood and paper fires that get big, quickly. It's DRY CHEMICAL, ideal for small grease and electrical fires (B-C class respectively, as rated by UL Labs and other agencies).Its charge is probably too small for larger "A" fires (However, it MIGHT buy you some time so you can call the FD). Dry chem extinguishers are non-toxic and don't conduct electricity and don't damage circuitry. Kidde makes good stuff. Get one and learn how to use it-may save your home, vehicle and more valuable parts of your life (loved ones). I plan to buy a larger one (saved my parents' house from a lightning-caused electrical fire with a similar one.

I have not had to use this fire extinguisher yet, but I feel more comfortable having this in my house. It's not too big and feels solid. I even bought one for my mother for her house.

I have a large fire extinguisher. This one I feel will be easier to grab if needed. The instructions are plain and simple, large enough to see and even has pictures.
