networkn: Do you think it's ok it's a 2012?yeah that will be perfectly fine. Also they have a anti compacting agent so you dont have to worry about the powder compacting like powder extinguishers used to do.

andrewNZ: My understanding is that dry powder extinguishers need (or at least used to need) regular maintenance. The powder settles and when you need them, they don't work.thats the old ones from many years ago. modern ones dont
I agree that a fire blanket is a great option for the kitchen. I think CO2 is a good option for the home too, as long as they have pressure, they work.
I'd suggest asking the fire service, or maybe check their website. They'll have solid unbiased information.

RunningMan:thinking about yeah fire blanket for home would be good option. Fire extinguisher is excellent when used correctly on liquid fires but most home owners wont know the correct way to use it and end up spreading the fire.Yogi02: I think a fire blanket is a good option for the kitchen as well
A pressurised fire extinguisher can move a liquid fire (think cooking oil) around rather than putting it out, so a blanket is a good idea.

jarledb: You should also be aware that the powder is very fine and that it gets everywhere after you use it.you are correct but if it is a small fire that will save the house who cares about some damage to electrics. If it is bigger then just get out of house and dial 111. Not worth a life to attempt putting it out. 99 % of people wont have any idea of correctly using extinguishers
When you add in that the powder is corrosive and will damage electronics after a while... It can get very expensive if someone sets it off without there being a proper fire.
Foam extinguishers or proper fire hoses are good alternatives, and a fire blanket is good too.
One good reason to stick with powder is that it lasts for 10 years, while a foam extinguisher only lasts for 5 years.
CO2 you really shouldn't have in your home, unless you intend to use it on your very expensive Hi-fi or other such electronics. The CO2 will be useless in a fire with any real amount of energy (so fire in wood etc. it will only have a short and temporary effect).

timmmay: I was researching this recently but got a bit confused by all the options. Can anyone with experience say what type of extinguisher works best for a kitchen and maybe for general house fires? What size is best, 2/4/6/10kg?ABE would be best all round and 2Kg fine. If you need bigger one then you shouldnt be attempting to put it out and just call 111. Fire Blanket on top is good for oil fire on stove. Best it the lid for the container. If fire too big to put lid on then throw fire blanket over and dial 111
A see a blanket mentioned, would that help with an oil fire on a stove?
