fire extinquisher Feb 28, 2010
I bought this item based on reviews of kitchen fire extinquishers in Cook's Illustrated. Luckily, I haven't had occasion to try it out. It is primarily for use on grease/cooking fires, not advised for paper.

dying extinguisher Kiddie FX10K Feb 04, 2010
The extinguisher a Bi carb filled 3.3 lb unit was purchased for 2008 Christmas and has been hanging on our kitchen wall for just a year. The pressure gage on this SN# B-982906 has slowly gone from Green "Full" to 1/2 red "Discharge". The unit has a one time safety catch that breaks when pulled, a tell tale indication that the unit has been used. The tab is intact and the unit has never been used. Now I have to buy another.Instructions are written in 2 point type, white ink on gray background whose first instruction is "READ THE OWNERS MANUAL AND EXTINGUISHER LABEL" in larger 4 point caps. This is in larger type not because it is instructional but because it is a challenge to that which follows; the instructions . I am disappointed in Kiddie's quality or design and in the UL seal.I doubt the UL ever read the label. Made in Mexico, their quality is lacking in this unit.

Big. Jan 19, 2010
I have a rather small kitchen with only one stove. This extinguisher is huge for a space that is less than a professional kitchen. I know that if a problem comes up I will be glad that I have it, but I really don't have a place to put it, and if I leave it out, it's taking up valuable space. I do have a smaller kitchen extinguisher this was going to replace but I will keep the older one. The older one is about 1/3 the size.
I guess it comes down to the size, do you have the space? Do you really need one of these when a smaller more compact one could do?
So in closing, I gave this a four star rating as I really don't know how well this will work (and hope to never know). The packaging was adequate, shipping was fast, the extinguisher arrived fully charged, has a mounting plate and looks like I could put out a forest fire. I will recommend this if you have the space and need for a big extinguisher.

Disappointed Dec 19, 2009
I ordered and received two Kidde kitchen fire extinguishers. One was empty upon arrival, as was indicated by the pressure dial pointer in the red. The devices have a plastic key which must be broken in order to use the extinguisher.

The plastic key was not broken: the tank was empty when it was packed and shipped.

I was required to pay shipping in order to return it. The deadline for a return is pretty tight. Being as I have to ship during the Christmas holiday rush, I doubt that I will meet the deadline. In shipping it, I was losing more money.

I will not do business with that company again. I wish that I was able to rate this purchase in negative numbers; one star is too generous.

Update: ANTOLINE contacted Amazon and credited my account with the value of the fire extinguisher that I had returned to them. Now I will give them 2 stars.

Very high rated in Cooks Illustrated report Dec 16, 2009
The January/February 2010 issue of Cooks Illustrated features a test on how fire extinguishers performed in kitchen fires. Kidde's FX10K 10B:C Kitchen FX10K and Kidde FA110, 1-A:10-B:C FX's were the highest recommended units. Kidde provided information and suggested products to the reporter for this article.
