First Alert Fire Extinguisher, Heavy Duty for Home & Commercial Use | HOME2PRO Rechargeable Compliance Unit, UL RATED 2-A:10-B:C, Red, 1-Pack

I bought this for my shop for peace of mind. I have not had to use it, which is exactly how I want things to stay, but the quality and setup are both reassuring. Mounting to the wall was straightforward, the bracket lined up well, and once it was on the wall the canister seated securely. The gauge arrived in the green and has stayed there through a couple of cold snaps and warm afternoons.Pros:• It is rechargeable. In my area a recharge runs about twenty five to thirty dollars, so I would rather service a solid extinguisher than keep buying disposables.• It is a multipurpose dry chemical unit, so it covers the common shop risks like ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and live electrical equipment - perfect for my shop.• Build feels right for shop use. The pin and seal are cleanly installed, and the canister finish looks durable.How I set it up:• I mounted it near the exit (right next to the door) so I can move toward the door while pulling it down.• I wrote the purchase date on an inspection tag and hung it next to the bracket.• I put a calendar reminder on my phone to glance at the gauge monthly.• I gave it a light shake to keep the powder from packing, which is a good habit for dry chemical units. (someone gave me this advice)I did all those things so I don't forget about it and it ends up failing when I would actually need it. Having it at the door makes sure I at least have to see it daily. The date on the unit lets me keep track of when it might need a recharge. The reminder (and the shake) will happen on the regular, ensure it will be ready if/when I need it.What stands out day to day• The gauge is easy to read at a glance.• The handle and pin feel smooth when I practice the pull aim squeeze sweep routine.• The size is manageable enough that anyone in the family can grab it quickly.Overall, this is exactly what I wanted for the shop. It mounted easily, looks and feels well made, and it is rechargeable so I am not throwing money at replacements. I hope it never leaves the bracket, but I am glad it is there. Five out of five stars and I would totally recommend this.

Exactly as described, mounted perfectly

Super ease to install. Great price point. Fits well anywhere!

I purchased two of these and they are great quality!! We just had a house fire about 6 months ago and had small fire extinguishers. My gf tried to put the fire out but fire extinguishers wasn't big enough. EVERYONE buy at least two of these for your house!! Trust me a house fire is worse then you can imagine!!

Fast Delivery and well packaged for shipping. Love that it is rechargeable. Peace of mind for our 3600 sq feet and two large computer labs.

Haven't used this yet but I am happier knowing that its under my sink in case I need it. But it does have an easy to read gage on it to be able to check it periodically.

Good to have and not too expensive

Had to use this extinguisher today after our outside trashcan caught fire. The whole trashcan was engulfed and melted and a small part of the house even caught fire. This extinguisher put it out quickly. We even had a hose spraying water on the flames but the extinguisher put it out. So grateful we had it. Just ordered another to replace the one we used

I'm not giving it four stars because I had to use it and it worked! :-) I'm giving it four stars for the great packaging, which is almost like origami. It's the first time I see this. Thick cardboard bent in geometrical shapes to make sure the extinguisher doesn't get damaged in transit. As for the fifth star, I will come back to modify my rating if I ever need to use it, and it works!!!
