Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde FA110 Multi Purpose Fire Extinguisher 1A10BC
Customer Review: you can watch instructions for this Fire Extinguisher on HandBookLive.com
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone like me, who never had a chance to use a fire extinguisher you can watch a video on this particular model FA110 on [...] under Safety and Emergency. I only had to put out a "practice fire" but I recommend everyone tries it or at least watches the video. This model is very easy to use.
And this extinguisher comes with a mounting bracket, so it can be mounted in a garage on a wall or a cabinet, so you can access it easily. We had our old extinguisher on the floor and it was always getting lost behind all the other paint cans and supplies we would store in the same "easy access" area. It would have done us no good if those cans actually caught on fire... So use that bracket - don't just throw it away.
Customer Review: Poor Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
Just a warning - I have no idea whether this product works or not, and hopefully I never need to find out! But when the fire extinguisher arrived it had discharged itself inside the box and was completely empty. I contacted Amazon customer service who advised I needed to get a replacement under the warranty from the manufacturer. At first things when went well and I was promised a replacement extinguisher. 2 months and several unreturned emails later, still no exinguisher and no comment from Kidde on where it might. I've even contacted their customer service manager directly and have not received a response. A lot of work for a cheap fire extinguisher - I should have just gone to the hardware store!Customer Review: I've Tested It So You Don't Have To!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this model in my truck for years, and recently stopped to help a man who's truck was seriously on fire. Now, this is really too small of an extinguisher for that big a fire, but thanks to two other well-prepared good Samaritans we had extinguished the fire completely by the time the fire department arrived using 2 of these small extinguishers and one bigger (5 lb) one. I can review this extinguisher highly because after riding around and being battered and abused in my work truck for 3 years, in Florida heat and everything else this thing was ready to go when I needed it. My only regret was not having a bigger one, but for household use I think that this one would be fine.Customer Review: Helped contain the fire until the FD showed up...
Summary: 5 Stars
A fire extinguisher is one of those items that is really hard to review for the fact that you'll more then likely never have to use one. After years and years of it just sitting on the wall in the kitchen we had to use it.
One night the neighbor's vehicle caught fire (fault in the wiring we later found out) and immediately we grabbed it off the wall, ran outside, pulled the pin, and started spraying. This was enough to slow the fire from spreading very far and gave the fire department enough time to respond before everything was up in flames.
Probably one of the best $20-$40 investments you can make.
Be safe and get one!
Customer Review: GREAT VALUE if it saves my place for $25 I will gladly buy another one
Summary: 5 Stars
For those living in the middle 20th century, Modern plastics far surpass other materials in the 21st century. The tank is aluminum for one thing, which does not corrode like steel. The handle and valve are made of nylon a very strong and appropriate material which also does not corrode. As far as it being not refillable, I think if it saves your house from not burning down for around $25, it is a great bargain. If it saves everything I own one time I would gladly buy another one. It is best to have at least 2 of these placed where you can get to them at all times. I also have a white one in the kitchen. These are a invaluable bargain.
