| Video Discription | RECALL UPDATE: Kidde has issued a recall of all of its fire extinguishers with plastic handles, including our winning model FA110 (or FA110G) and the not recommended model RESSP. If you have purchased either model, go to Kidde.com and select Product Safety Recall Notice for more information, or call the Kidde Customer Support Line at 855-271-0773 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 pm EST on Saturday and Sunday to request a free replacement fire extinguisher (it will be a different model), and for instructions on returning the recalled unit, as it may not work properly in a fire emergency. In the meantime, we recommend our second and third place models, the First Alert Tundra spray and the Amerex 2.5 Lb ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher. While both had minor ease-of-use issues, we found both effective at putting out fires.

We were shocked at how many aren’t. What's #1 in terms of kitchen safety? We review the best (and worst) gas grills under $500: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPX-9zkMeA Why we love carbon-steel skillets—and which pan's our favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suTmUX4Vbk WINNING TRAITS OF A GOOD FIRE EXTINGUISHER - Easy to operate, with intuitive design and clear instructions on extinguisher - Quick, effective, and thorough at extinguishing both grease and cloth fires - Easy-to-read pressure gauge so you know when to replace extinguisher WHAT WE EXAMINED We tested eight fire extinguishers, including four traditional pressurized canisters, two aerosol sprays, one fire blanket, and a self-operating canister that attaches to the hood over a stove. In two separate rounds of testing, we allowed vegetable oil to catch fire in a hot skillet and a dish towel to ignite from touching a lit burner. We used the extinguishers to put out these fires, timing the results and rating the extinguishers on ease of use, performance, and, to a lesser extent, cleanup. Scores from both tests were combined to reach our final ranking. Information about fire suppressant material in extinguishers was provided by manufacturers. Models were purchased online and appear in order of preference. TIME TO UNDERSTAND OPERATION: Time elapsed between when we picked up the product and when we began using it. TIME(S) TO PUT OUT GREASE AND TOWEL FIRES: Time elapsed between when we started spraying/smothering the fires and when the fires were extinguished. EASE OF USE: We evaluated how simple and intuitive the extinguishers were to operate, taking into account that we were working quickly, under pressure, with no preparation (to simulate a real fire emergency). PERFORMANCE: Models that extinguished both types of fire quickly and thoroughly rated highest. CLEANUP: Extinguishers that produced less mess and fumes rated higher, although we gave more weight in our ranking to their performance and ease of use.
