First Alert FE1A10G Fire Extinguisher

Cheap First Alert FE1A10G Fire Extinguisher Review

Yep it certainly works. And that's what counts.

A small food fire in my toaster oven could have got out of hand. Flames were licking up to the cabinets above.

I had this extinguisher handy, and it put the fire out just like you want.

BUT WHAT A MESS.

I think this is true of all dry chemical extinguishers.

I spent 2 days cleaning the kitchen. The powder is probably not good to eat, so I had to make sure to get rid of every trace. DO NOT apply heat (oven self-clean is a big no-no) to get rid of this stuff.

If you can afford it, get Co2 or FE-36 (inert gas) extinguishers. However these cost 10 times as much.

If you don't expect a fire (who does?) this does the job. But there will be a mess.
