Recommended by Fire Experts for Proven Protection
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends at least one primary protection fire extinguisher for each level of the home. A primary protection fire extinguisher should have a fairly large capacity and must be UL Rated 2-A:10-B:C or higher. In addition to your primary protection, you should also have supplementary protection fire extinguishers that are UL rated for specific hazards, such as common kitchen cooking fires. Supplementary fire extinguishers are recommended for placement in specific areas, such as the kitchen.
This supplementary protection fire extinguisher meets the recommendations and needs of:
- The National Fire Protection Association: the NFPA 10 Standard for Fire Extinguishers
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL): the independent testing lab for fire safety products
- Professionals: for more than 90 years, industry leaders, the military, airlines, and firefighters have relied on Kidde fire extinguishers
The Right Solution for an Emergency Situation
In an emergency situation, you need a proven technology: a UL-rated fire extinguisher with a handle, a visible pressure gauge, and enough size and capacity to put out a common fire. These features are what make a fire extinguisher the tool of choice for true fire suppression. Many aerosol can fire products may not be as reliable for fire protection, because they have a short shelf life (only three years in many cases), they do not provide a gauge to verify readiness, and they aren’t UL rated. If you are able to react to a small fire when it starts, chances are good you can stop the fire with the right type of fire extinguisher.
Safe Extinguishing Agent with Easy Cleanup
This fire extinguisher is UL rated 10-B:C, and it uses a non-toxic fire suppressing agent specified for kitchen fires. Many kitchen fire products use a mix of chemicals that are not food safe. Cleaning up the sticky residue left after even a small grease fire can be quite a chore. This Kidde fire extinguisher uses a non-toxic sodium bicarbonate powder that’s easy to clean up and is electrically nonconductive, an important feature for kitchen fires.
Built to Last and Easy to Use
This Kidde Fire Extinguisher is durable and easy to use. The fire extinguisher is warranted for 10 years, and its metal pressure gauge helps ensure that the fire extinguisher is charged and ready for use. This extinguisher is durable and corrosion resistant, featuring a rust- and impact-resistantnylon handle and a light-but-durable aluminum cylinder. The sure-grip handle and operating lever make it less likely for the extinguisher to slip from wet or oily hands and easier to operate for people with arthritis or weakness of the fingers. A large bilingual nameplate on the extinguisher provides easy-to-read instructions for use during a fire.
You can place a kitchen fire extinguisher near your countertop, or in a drawer or cabinet, but make sure it is pressurized and close at hand for emergency use.

EVERYONE should have a kitchen fire extinguisher. The FX10K is an attractive design and mounts easily. Unlike many extinguishers, the red safety tab is easy to remove when you are panicking and trying to get it off in a hurry. If there’s a fire, you are not going to be looking at a safety tab and trying to figure out how to take it off, you’re just going to be ripping at it to remove it, and this comes off easily. Unless you have small kids who play with things, I would even suggest removing it in advance to break the tabs, and then reinserting it with the tabs already broken. That way you can get it off very easily, yet it still acts to prevent accidental discharges.
Unlike the fire extinguishers you may be familiar with, this is a sodium bicarbonate dry chemical extinguisher, designed specifically for grease and oil fires (although it will still be somewhat effective for regular fires). As most people know, you should never throw water on a grease fire, but instead smother it with sand, flour, or baking soda. This extinguisher essentially propels baking soda onto the fire to prevent the chemical reaction between heat, fuel, and oxygen, and put out the fire. Although dry chemical extinguishers like this are becoming less popular than wet chemical extinguishers, this is still a very effective product. I wouldn’t buy one of these for a commercial kitchen, but would for a home.
We had a kitchen fire in our oven, and flames shot up the side of the wall. The fire was contained mostly to the oven at the time, but the Kidde FX10K had it out within about 2 seconds flat. It does discharge the entire cannister very quickly (you can only really use this once), it is so effective that you shouldn’t need to use it very long, unless you freak out and miss the fire completely. Another advantage is that, since it’s essentially baking soda, you can just wipe up the chemicals with a wet rag once you’re done, and the extinguisher shouldn’t cause any real damage. You could spray your sofa with this stuff and clean it up fairly easily.
I strongly suggest anyone who doesn’t have an extinguisher in their kitchen designed specifically for class K (kitchen) fires purchase this and keep it in a convenient location. I firmly believe our house would have burned down had we not had it.

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. A copy is attached under customer images.

This extinguisher is something I had been intending to stock near my kitchen for several months, and I’m glad to have it. Though I can’t speak for how well it puts out fires yet, I will say that it is labeled clearly, and is an appropriate size for the kitchen.
As well, it looks decent and yet inconspicuous enough that people don’t notice it much.

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.

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.
