Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I can't really review this particular extinguisher yet, since it's fortunately un-used. However, the reason I bought this is because the same one, many many years older, saved us from some major fire damage. The picture is said old extinguisher. I never paid much attention to it. Our house was built in 1999. We bought it in 2004. That extinguisher sat in the garage next to the water heater each year, only a mental note to me as to where it was just in case. I never picked it up, never checked it's tag. 2 weeks ago we had a candle ignite a table cloth in our dining room with nobody in the room. By the time my wife noticed it and yelled, flames were 3 feet high and burning the pine table top. I ran to the garage, grabbed that extinguisher, pulled the plastic tab and with a few bursts of the bicarbonate, emergency averted. Running noses and blaring fire alarms aside, the night ended with only the table top ruined. No firetrucks and no nosy neighbors. 2 rooms completely covered in bicarbonate dust, but all pictures, etc, fine since no water was used. I knew right then I was buying Amerex again. After it was all over, I checked the tag; new in 1996, and last inspected in 1998. wow. We were lucky!
