And you know what they work! And carry the bsi en3 kitemark so fully decent bit of kit

They make a mess but they work nothing a hoover and a damp cloth can't solve

Ideal for cars caravans and garages as they don't freeze unlike water or foam ...

Only thing in a house they aren't to be used on is chip pans .. covers most bases

cheers Andy. Thanks for confirming. Seemingly great value. Ideal prepper family gift. I'll get a few more if not sold out.

Over the past 15 or so years there's been a push to remove them from buildings based on a poorly worded bsi update biggest issue is the cloud of powder making finding an exit difficult

So now the gods are saying use them in sensible places.. my mate worked for his sins at a big insurer doing home insurance.... His logic was the extinguisher will do less damage than a house fire. They'd rather pay to redecorate a living room after a small fire and subsequent powder contamination and replace carpet and sofa Vs the cost of a total rebuild

I was gobsmacked by the effectiveness in those videos.

I was prompted to buy my first extinguisher and a bunch of detectors after a friend suffered a house fire. I would tolerate an awful lot of powder damage in preference to losing my home or my life. If it's burning, it's already ruined, so what will a stain matter?
I don't like them on display, but inside selected cupboard doors, these are most reassuring.
You can get them cheaper on the bay, but for a tenner, Really: Even I can pay that with a smile.
