Good size for kitchen well made

These are brilliant as you can put them up in places where bulkier fire extinguishers would get in the way, while the sooner you can grab one and hit a fire with it, the less capacity it needs. I recently had a wall-mounted fan heater go on fire in the bathroom and put it out with a bigger fire extinguisher which had been in the house for over 40 years, but it likely only used a few percent of the content. I was relieved that it still worked given how old it was. This new small one though has a pressure gauge on it that lets you see what state it's in, so it'll be much easier to know how long it can be relied on. I'll get a couple of new big ones too because you can't always get to a fire quickly and may need the full capacity, but every room ought to have one of these small ones up by the door, and they're small enough to fit to the door surround without getting in the way of anything, while they also look attractive rather than being too industrial.

Seems to be ok however I hope to never use it

It's very small so should fit in nearly any room. Good to have on hand.Can't comment on its ability as a fire extinguisher as I've not had a fire...

Luckily, not had to use it yet but reassuring to have in the kitchen just in case

This extinguisher arrived undamaged; the pressure needle indicator pointed in the green zone. There is a clip mount for it inside the box also.As one of the safety representatives on board ships, on some crews during my younger years I was a member of secondary fire fighting teams. Most of the extinguishers I have handled in my career, and also at fire training schools for offshore seamanship certification, we handled extinguishers of this sort - i.e. the operation is with the whole hand to squeeze the handle. Prior to buying this model I have come across models on Internet which is operated by the thumb only. I would suuggest this method is less natural and becomes even more awkward during a high anxious state when you are faced with a real fire (I know because I was on board a ship wiht a fire). I can vouch that when I was in a near panic situation, it was more natural to operate an extinguisher with the whole of the hand rather than just the thumb.On vessels, all estinguishers goes for annual inspection and re-certification. Even so it is customary good practice to conduct monthly checks. One of the Must Do's is to take the extinguisher off the mount, turn it upside down, or any o'way and shake it or tape it. The purpose is to shake th epowder within loose because, over time and due to vibrations and gravity, the powder settles into a "solid cake". Imagine it being inside you vehicle and you having to drive over pot holes ..... ! Yes, the power cakes up all too quickly.If you are buying it for a commercial vehicle, please mount it away from the driving cab as you don't want a loose projectile flying to your head in an accident. If there is no other place but inside the cab, then think about using velcro or releasable cable ties to prevent such a thing happending.Another item of concern and which was the reason why I bought this one, was that an Internet search found other examples of 0.6 kg extinguishers which are only bor class B and C fires but not class A ! Your average person is not going to know that and I feel manufacturers are irrespnsible for selling that class of equipment without making customers aware. Don't know why they bother because a Class A, B and C model cost about the same as one which is only suited to b & C only.Anyway, I bought this for my vehicle and am glad that I found no short comings.Also you need to be aware that if you are carrying lithium battery powered equipment (not talking about Li-On) then you need a Class D extinguisher. That's another lesson in itself - just do Internet search on Lithium fires and why professional fire fighters had to let it burn.

I haven’t had to use it thank god but it is an important stand by at a great price

I haven't had to use this but it's sat at the bottom of my stairs where I charge my batteries just in case I need to use it. You never know and it is a small bottle but I think every household should have this as a back up.
