Bad packaging
Item was great. The packaging for shipping was horrible. They used too large of box so my products were moving all over in box. No idea if anything is damaged yet

Leaks down
I wanted to try it out so I pulled the pin. When I sprayed it for only 2, maybe 3 seconds I noticed it was on the edge between Full and Empty. It has been sitting on a table since then and has leaked down to nearly completely empty. Haven't tried the other one.

    Great convenience
    I love the convenience of this small extinguisher. It comes with a wall mount. It has clear easy to read instructions right on the extinguisher itself. It's not too heavy so just about anyone can use it. It's perfect size for our boat!

    Small size perfect
    This small size fire extinguisher is the perfect addition to our UTV. We had a larger extinguisher in our ride but it was always in the way and rolling around ...It is important to be out on the trails with the fire protection but a rolling around extinguisher wasn't cool! We found an appropriate mounting bracket to mount the Kidde fire extinguisher to the roll cage of our Ranger and the small size of this model is perfect to protect without being too big. Be already had a few of my riding friends inquiring on this small size setup. Perfect

    Small, compact and easy to use.
    I got this compact fire extinguisher a couple of weeks ago. The extinguisher is small, lightweight and compact. This unit is now in my office and ready to use. The instructions are really easy and a child can figure it out easily. My only concern is that the pin falls out easily. Maybe it was just my device but I'd prefer that it were a little tighter. Still excited to have it.

    Peace of mind!
    This fire extinguisher is a good size to fit into the utility cupboard on our boat. It comes with a mounting bracket that is easy to install. The extinguisher is B & C rated so covers flammable liquids and electrical equipment and is US Coastguard approved. There is a handy gauge which indicates when we need to replace it. Great product for peace of mind while out on the water.

    excellent quality
    The Kidde 5BC Fire Extinguisher, Model KD61W-5BC KD61W-5BC It is a good quality product. I love that it comes with instructions in English and Spanish that are easy to understand and are also illustrated on the cylinder. It comes with a bracket to fix it either on the car or where you consider it most necessary. Bring a card to place the date it was purchased, to have a better control of its useful life. the kide Fire extinguisher is one of those things that one says it is better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it...

    Mini extinguisher
    This is a great extinguisher to keep in your car. The size is small but it works the same as any other fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher fights most fires, with car and boat it also has a six year warranty and it's a single use disposable it has a 12 your life span so you can keep this guy in your car for quite a while if ice fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment it has an easy to read guag

    Good sized for small accidental fires
    I've kept this in a good accessible spot in my kitchen. This unit is small enough and light enough to be kept in a handy spot in my kitchen. It's aluminum body is light enough for my kids also to learn to pick up. There is a safety pin which is locked so kids do not accidentally press it when not needed. It's rust- and impact-resistant nylon handle with clear instructions on the label with graphics to show steps required to operate it The gauge is pretty easy to tell when it's full or empty added bonus is it's color coded so you don't have to squint to read it in case of bad eyesight. This is suitable for use on liquid & energized electrical fires . I hope I never have to use it but it gives me a peace of mind that I have it close by Incase I need it .

    Nice compact fire extinguisher
    This is a really great fire extinguisher. It is very compact and doesn't take up a lot of space in your trunk, boat, or even pantry. It comes with an easy and convenient walk mount for even easier storage. The best part is the easy to follow directions right on the extinguisher. Super convenient and easy. Highly recommend.

    Great fire extinguisher!
    I love this kiddie fire extinguisher. It is very easy to use and is convenient. You can put it in your vehicle, boat or keep in your home. We keep this in our home. I love how there is a mounting bracket in there which allows you to mount it anywhere you want. I trust kidde when it comes to my fire extinguishers. You can tell the quality in this. I have a better peace of mind having this in my home.

    Waiting on replacement. First one had a broken pressure gauge. Tank looked as advertised. New. Could have broken during shipping. Returning was tough. (Under pressure with a messed up gauge) FedEx dislikes

    Kidde to the resque.
    Finally I have something in my truck so I don't feel so helpless when passing a car fire that is just starting.

    Works
    The fire extinguisher itself is the perfect size that I needed but the bracket is very flimsy and made of plastic. As I planned to mount this on my riding mower I will probably have to purchase another type bracket.
