Why this gift works
The First Alert HOME1 Fire Extinguisher is a rechargeable ABC dry-chemical unit rated UL 1-A:10-B:C, for fires involving wood, paper and fabric, flammable liquids and electrical equipment. It has a metal valve head, a pull pin with a safety seal, a color-coded pressure gauge and a mounting bracket; it is 14.3 inches tall and 5.4 pounds, per First Alert, with a 10-year limited warranty.
Plenty of rentals do not have one inside the unit. Mounted near the kitchen, it is the unglamorous gift that matters most on the one night a pan catches.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A daughter who cooks
- A first rental
- A college apartment
Think twice if
- Her unit already has one
- She only wants a small kitchen spray
The catch
After any use it has to be professionally recharged or replaced, the dry powder leaves a residue to clean up, and with 2.5 pounds of agent it is meant for small fires that are just starting.
Skip if her building already puts an extinguisher inside the unit.
