Overview
A wide spray nozzle is what sets this First Alert aerosol apart from a pull-pin extinguisher. The user points and sprays, and the biodegradable foam formula wipes off with a damp cloth afterward.
Simple operation is what draws a household to it, in a kitchen, on a boat or in an RV. The extra seconds of spray give the user time to work on a fire. Where fire code requires a rated unit, this is not a substitute.
Who it's for
Households and travelers who want something simple to operate in an emergency get a compact spray can. Workplaces and anyone bound by fire code should buy a rated, refillable extinguisher.
Pros and cons
- Point and spray operation
- Wide spray area
- Foam wipes away with a damp cloth
- Portable for kitchens, boats and RVs
- Fire rating class not listed
- Disposable aerosol format
- Limited to common household fires
- Weight field unreliable
Performance notes
A wider spray covers more surface than a narrow jet, so a small fire is blanketed faster. The maker describes a longer run than a traditional household extinguisher. How well it works still depends on how early the user acts.
