I bought two of these fire extinguishers from Home Depot in 1999. In 2006 my toaster oven flamed up and I quickly pulled out the fire extinguisher and it promptly stopped the fire. Then, just yesterday my toaster oven flamed up again and this time I didn't notice for some time and the flames were pretty bad though still concealed within the toaster. I pulled out the second fire extinguisher and it put out the fire right away. The only downside is that the fire extinguisher can be used only once and the material it spews out is in dust form and it goes all over the place - but that's not so bad considering it stops fires! I'm getting a couple of more of these. It's impressive that they sat unused for almost 10 years and still worked fine in an emergency. I'm also getting rid of the old toaster over :)

We had a grease fire which this little baby put out in about 4 seconds!

Don't buy. There are a whole lot better extinguishers out there. Very good for scrap alumaium.

Fortunately I haven't had to use it yet, so I can't attest to the product's actual ability to put out a fire. But I received it in excellent condition, fully charged. The extinguisher seems sturdy, as does the bracket to hang it.
