I received the twin pack of Fire Extinguishers and some of the material had leaked during shipment. Neither of them were fully pressurized, as in another user's review. I'm attempting to return this to Garage Toys, but no one ever answers their customer support number and no one has returned the serveral messages I've left in the past week.

I would recommend passing on this and picking it up in a local store due to the risk of damange during shipment and the difficulty working with the vendor on a return.

UPDATE: Garage Toys finally returned my call after over a week of trying to contact them. They apologized for the hassle and refunded my order completely, and allowed me to keep the extinguishers I received that were not fully pressurized. I was very satisfied with how they handled the situation besides the delay in getting back to me.

Both fire extinguishers weren't full of material and not fully pressurized. I am half-satisfied.

Just emptied one of the two First Alert extinguishers I purchased a few years ago; a grease fire that got out of hand. I don't wish a home fire, however small, on anyone...the amount of smoke alone is scary. These are simple to mount, simple to check, simple to get to, and simple to use. Knowing there was an extinguisher mounted in the stairway a few feet from me kept things calm. Get two, check every few months, and get loved ones to do the same.

you're crazy not to have good quality, reliable fire extinguishers in your home. and one in every main room. I have one in each bedroom and the kitchen.

this twin pack was affordable and I got exactly what I ordered.

most thankfully...I haven't had to use them yet! (and hopefully never will). but the peace of mind that I have them really helps.

Just got these and they were both pressurized fine. One for home and one for car is perfect for me. Someone with a bigger home might want to put one upstairs and one downstairs. Good feeling of security with these around.

I bought these fire extinguishers at Costco Mexico. After reading the instructions, they say "Made in Mexico" and immediately after "Warranty Not Valid in Mexico." Are you kidding me? Just that makes me want to return them and tell them to take a hike. A fire extinguisher is something you need to have confidence in. I'm not buying them because I couldn't care if they work or not.

Why in the world would First Alert not support a warranty if the item is manufactured in Mexico and sold by an obviously authorized-retailer (Costco)? I also looked on their website for any way to contact them other than by phone and ask them. Nada. That also makes me want to return them. Guess they don't care if their extinguishers save your life or not. Boo on FA.

I just bought a ventless fireplace and thought that just in case I should have a extinguisher on hand. Shipping was fast and I believe these could put out a fire if caught fast enough. Excellent Idea if you burn candles, have a fire place, or a very bad chef in the house.

Great product to have handy around the house or in the car. I hope to never have to use it!
