    This is the normal price at bunnings (has been for over a year).

    As a fire technician its overkill for the general househould to have this size of fire extinguisher. Get a smaller one 1kg $19 or set with fire blanket $29

    Remember dont buy secondhand its has 5 years lifetime on its pressured cylinder

      I have a 1kg one sitting at home that is over a decade old. Pressure gauge is still reading good though so surely it's still good to use?

        Only way to know is to set fire to your grass and test it. :)

        • WhyAmICommenting on 19/08/2025 - 10:40

          And then you need to throw it out anyway

          Instructions unclear: set fire to the extinguisher and tried to put it out with grass.

        It's not usually the pressure that is an issue, it's the settling of the powder in the bottom of the cylinder so it's a hard lump after a decade of non-use.

        Hence why the techs turn the cylinder over and listen for the powder moving!

        • cornflakes on 19/08/2025 - 18:37

          Thanks for the explanation!

    • Serious Lee on 19/08/2025 - 10:19

      Is there a point to have an extinguisher refilled or just buy new when empty? Thx

        At $20 I'd just buy a new one.

        You will pay more to refill and stamp. :)

        It cost me nearly $100 to restamp my CO2 cylinder. I just buy another one new instead.

            @King Steuart: I know. Some random guy does recerts where I live. He wanted $90 and I had to to go to his house to drop off and pick up. The shop wanted $110.

            I just ordered a new cylinder full of gas $90 delivered to my house.

            $$% refilling and meeting random guys in their houses.

              @Naigrabzo: I guess the general fire risk is too low for the govt to consider funding your local fire service to do affordable refills. That would be the only logical option I can think of.

              • Naigrabzo on 19/08/2025 - 11:31

                @King Steuart: Yeah the general fire is quite low TBH. In Australia though, we pay nearly $9 for a coffee so I suppose a specialised task of refilling and stamping a cylinder will be paid more. Holiday pay sick pay, Leave in lieu etc. :)

                Refills of my CO2 is only $36 per 5kg. That's ok.

                It's the restamping and certification that's expensive.

        • Blitzfx on 19/08/2025 - 10:38

          Amazing its not even cost efficient to refill…. just like ink jet printers

      • tenpercent on 19/08/2025 - 10:47

        That would be the environmentally friendly option.

        • Naigrabzo on 20/08/2025 - 08:56

          To be friednly to environment is expensive. Who gonna pay?

          I mean, we all use those one time use tiny plastic soy sauce 'fishes'. Use it for one second and destroy environment for 2000 years. No probs. :)

      • skillet on 19/08/2025 - 16:22

        Yes I hate it. I bought plenty of these over the years. It's stupid when you know it can be recharged but it's too costly to do so.

      As a fire technician its overkill for the general househould to have this size of fire extinguisher.

      And actual firefighters recommend getting as large as reasonably possible, and ideally two in seperate areas of the house.

      If you do choose to fight a fire you really don’t want “just enough” you want to be able to make sure the fire is completely dead and won’t reignite, and if it does you have enough in reserve to knock it down again before other help arrives. That margin is only afforded by having a larger extinguisher.

        And actual firefighters recommend getting as large as reasonably possible, and ideally two in seperate areas of the house.

        I imagine buying 4x 1kg and putting it in separate areas (e.g. all along an emergency escape path) could be more effective than 2x 4.5kg in half the areas. It really depends on the house and occupants I guess.

    Real ozbargainers get out of date ones for free off marketplace.
    Lots of companies dispose of perfectly good ones simply because of the 5 year rule for expiry.

    Also PSA, don't test a dry powder extinguisher. You cant just give it one squirt to see if it 'works' as once the seal is broken, it will leak all the gas and become useless. They are one time use.
    Speaking from experience.

    General FYI - ICE cars are far more likely to catch fire than EVs, so there is a far higher number of people who should keep one of these handy than we thought ;)

      Besides, If you have EV fire, I wouldn't bother with a fire extinguisher. Just get the #$%^ out of there and forget about your home. :)

  • Bunnyburger on 19/08/2025 - 11:55

    Do you need to pay someone to tag it?

      Only annually in a commercial setting.

    Get one. My regular repost:

    I had a 1kg in the kitchen that I used when the fat on a badly maintained bbq went up. Replaced it.

    Saw a CFA fire presso at work before a quick practical with extinguishers in the back car park. Went straight to Bunnings and got a 2.5kg.

    Car on fire pulled up near home, right under some pine trees. 2.5kg subdued it for a few minutes but not enough. The flames were about to touch the trees when MFB pulled up. Likely would have lost the house if the trees caught.

    Now I have a 1kg in the kitchen, 2.5kg near main bedroom and 4.5kg around middle of the house.

    We give them a shake on the regular and gentle taps when upside down with rubber mallet to make sure the powder stays loose.

    • drhip on 19/08/2025 - 14:11

      Wow that's a solid set up and practice.

      • Sillen on 19/08/2025 - 16:05

        The CFA presentation was probably around 10 years ago but it showed a house fully engulfed in a few minutes from one cigga on a couch. Scary.

        The car fire was 2021. After that I paid $35ex GST for the 2.5kg and $43ex for the 4.5kg + $15 delivery.

        Looks like prices are up ~25% since at the place I purchased.

  • medium_tight on 19/08/2025 - 16:10

    As my junior experts suggest:
    1. it's overkill for the general househould to have this size of fire extinguisher. Get a smaller
    2. actual firefighters recommend getting as large as reasonably possible, and ideally two in separate areas of the house.

    Yea..nah…

      Unless the fire truck catches on fire. :P Imagine…. Would be funny as hell.
