Review: Completely Failed in an Emergency - One Star would give 0 if I could- Completely Failed in an Emergency I bought this fire extinguisher for peace of mind and kept it in my kitchen cupboard in case of an emergency. Well, unfortunately, that emergency came last night when a utensils drawer caught fire. I thought, “That’s okay, I’ve got the extinguisher.” But when I opened the box and pulled it out, it wouldn’t work. The plastic safety pin was already snapped inside the pivot of the handle, making the extinguisher completely useless. I wasn’t the only one who tried it—my neighbour and family members all had a go, and it did absolutely nothing. I had no choice but to move the burning tray to the sink, and trying to put it out with water only made it worse. The fire ended up burning through all the pipes under the sink, and now I can’t use my washing machine, sink, or dishwasher. I am furious. If this extinguisher had worked as expected, I could’ve put out the fire right away with minimal damage. But instead, it failed at the one thing it was supposed to do—protect my home in an emergency. Do not trust this product. When it comes to safety, you expect reliability, not a dud that leaves you helpless in a dangerous situation. Review: Useless garbage - I have never seen such useless and even dangerous crap. The first extinguisher arrived empty with a broken pin. In the second one, the plastic handle broke in my hands. Everything is made of cheap and fragile plastic not worth even a pound. In case of a fire, I wouldn't want to check whether this crap will work because it's a lottery. ## Features - READY FOR WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST: Firechief’s UK-approved fire equipment is there to help you in that crucial moment when you need a reliable, easy to use and instantly effective solution to a fire.

Thanks.** A: This extinguisher is safe for use on electrical equipment. However, it doesn't have an F class rating so it's not safe to use on fires involving cooking oil. You could have a fire blanket on hand for cooking oil fires, and this extinguisher will then cover most of the other risks in the home. **Q: Will this tackle a fat fire?** A: This extinguisher does not have an F class rating, so it won't be effective to tackle a cooking oil (fat) fire. **Q: Where is the build date or expiry date please. I have one and need this information** A: At the top of the main body of the extinguisher, you will be able to find manufacturing data printed in 2 lines of black ink. The second line will begin with a group of 5 numbers (eg. 10523). These digits represent the day number (105) and year (23) that your extinguisher was manufactured. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Completely Failed in an Emergency *by K***M on 22 April 2025* One Star would give 0 if I could- Completely Failed in an Emergency I bought this fire extinguisher for peace of mind and kept it in my kitchen cupboard in case of an emergency.

I bought this for our kitchen just in case the worst was to happen and it’s a good job it didn’t because this would of been useless, had already been used, no pressure left, gauge was on 0 and white powder residue in the nozzle that had no safety attached and it was empty. They obviously have 0 quality control and just re-send out returns without checking them or even worse faulty items that are new. ## Frequently Bought Together - Multi Purpose Powder Fire Extinguisher – Ready to Use in Seconds – 1kg ABC Fire Extinguisher for Home & Kitchen Use – 5 Year Guarantee – Firechief Travel Extinguisher for Cars, Campervans & Caravans - Quick Release Home Extinguisher Fibreglass Fire Blanket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/384909501-multi-purpose-powder-fire-extinguisher-ready-to-use-in-seconds](https://www.desertcart.be/products/384909501-multi-purpose-powder-fire-extinguisher-ready-to-use-in-seconds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
