Kidde Basic Fire Extinguisher for Home, Office, Residential, Single-Use, 5BC

I bought this small fire extinguisher after we had a little fire accident at home that really scared me. Thankfully, I haven’t had to use it (and hopefully never will!), but I feel much safer knowing it’s there just in case. The size is perfect for a home or office, compact enough to keep in the kitchen without taking up space, but it still feels solid and reliable. It fits nicely in a cabinet or corner, and it doesn’t look bulky or industrial. It gives me real peace of mind to have it close by. I’m very happy I found something that fits in my kitchen so well in both size and appearance. Hopefully I’ll never need to test it, but I’m glad I have it!

Safety first, ha! Well, it is a fire extinguisher alright. How well does it work...I dunno. I just buy em and put them in the house and garage. Well, I have used Kidde extinguishers before and they never failed me. Good size for the vehicle or where space is an issue. This will probably put out most small fires if you get to it early.

We've done a lot of home renovation projects the past 18 months and are quite proud of the work we've done and the improvements we've made. We got to talking and said it would be such a shame to have a tragedy like a fire ruin all the hard work we've done. We decided to get two fire extinguishers, a larger one right outside the back door, and a smaller one to keep in the kitchen. This one is the smaller of the two. It was a great price, less than $15. It's a nice size without being TOO big for a smaller or older person. Comes with a nice warranty, as well as a bracket to hang it. I was able to hang it in an easy-to-grab location under the sink just inside the cabinet door. We now feel like we can put out a small fire, god forbid, whether it starts from cooking oil, an open flame, or even electrical.

Affordable and compact, ready to save my 3D printer farm in case of a fire. The extinguisher feels solid. The plastic hanger is adequate.

The fire extinguisher is small enough not to take up too much room in my kitchen, where I would need it most. The instructions are clear, and I feel safe knowing it is right where I might need it. Thankfully, I have not had to use it yet, but the quality is good, so I feel confident it will work if required.

A bit smaller than expected, but it definitely makes up for it in portability. I can fit a bunch of these anywhere on my boat for easy of access and safety. The quality is top notch and I expect these to last for many many years. Overall, I’d say for the price, it was well worth it even if just for peace of mind.

The Kidde Basic Fire Extinguisher (5‑BC) is a straightforward, single‑use safety tool built for quick, intuitive operation in home or office environments. The plastic handle and lever are lightweight yet sturdy, making the extinguisher easy to grip and deploy without adding unnecessary bulk. The instructions are printed clearly in both English and Spanish, supported by simple visual icons that make the four‑step process easy to follow even in a high‑stress moment. The pressure gauge is large and easy to read at a glance, and the safety pin removes cleanly without sticking or wobbling. In a controlled discharge scenario, the extinguisher produced a strong, steady stream with good reach, maintaining pressure consistently throughout use. Its 5‑BC rating covers flammable liquids and electrical fires—the two most common hazards in kitchens, garages, and workspaces. For anyone looking to meet essential fire‑safety standards with a reliable, no‑frills unit, this Kidde extinguisher offers dependable performance and clear, user‑friendly design.
