The best Fire extinguishers 2kg, compared.
Top pick: 2 kg dry powder extinguisher – Highest score, 81, for a stated BS EN 3-7 and Kitemark, 4.8 from 89 UK-leaning reviews, and about £19.99. Best value: Firexo 2 litre pack – Highest value-block score that is not the top pick: a water-based 2 litre pack at about £90, with a large review file. Updated October 2026.
A 2 kg fire extinguisher is a portable cylinder, usually dry powder, or a 2 litre water-based unit in the same size class. A private UK home does not have to keep one, and a private car does not have to carry one. Workplaces, holiday lets, and common parts of flats do. The responsible person matches the equipment to the risk and maintains it. A missing or figure is not filled in here. Powder suits a vehicle, but indoor powder can cut visibility, and you must not jet an extinguisher onto a chip pan. The [2kg fire extinguisher buying guide](/hub/fire-protection/fire-extinguisher-2kg/sub/fire-extinguisher-2kg-buying-guide) covers the mark, the rating line, and the service interval. It is either dry powder or 2 litre water-based model 809-765-347-846, sold on amazon.co.uk as a pack of two. Powder covers Class A solids, Class B liquids, and Class C gases. It is widely described as usable on live electrical equipment, with poor cooling and heavy residue. The kilograms are the charge, not the size of the test fire. A bigger A or B number under BS EN 3 is a bigger test fire.

Question 1 of 2
Where will you keep it?
The unbranded 2 kg ABC powder, listed at about £19.99, is the top pick here because the bullets state BS EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 and a Kitemark, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 89 reviews written mostly in the United Kingdom. Reviewers call it compact enough for a flat or under a sink, and at least one found the wall and vehicle bracket easy to fit. Almost none of them report a real fire, so the stars describe the parcel and the printed standard, not a discharge. The title states classes A, B and C, and the saved listing has no 13A or 34B figure, so the kilograms are not a test-fire size. A repeated complaint is that no manufacture or expiry date is printed on the body. The listing notes a mainland UK delivery restriction, and one reviewer said the driver left the parcel outside.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low-priced 2 kg ABC powder for a van, a garage, or a cupboard, and you will read the label for a fire rating this listing does not print.
Less suitable: You need a published Class F rating for a kitchen, or you need a service life printed on the body before anyone commissions it.
Specifications
Common questions
Which fire classes does the listing state?
The title states ABC powder for class A, B and C fires. A numeric rating such as 13A or 34B is not in the listing.
Does it come with a bracket?
The title says the extinguisher comes with a wall and vehicle bracket. A separate contents list is not in the saved listing.
What standard does the listing print?
The bullets state manufacturing standard BS EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 and certification Kitemark EN3, plus a test pressure of 29 bar and a maximum working pressure of 18 bar.
The Firexo listing at about £90 is model 809-765-347-846, a 2 litre unit the size line sells as a pack of two, with a stated package weight of 7.58 kg and a wall hook, and it is the best value here only because the about £19.99 powder already holds the top pick. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 2,039 reviews, and the review text also mentions 500 ml, 150 ml, and 9 litre Firexo units, so that count is not only this pack. Reviewers like one product presented for cooking and electrical fuels, and some prefer the look to a standard red powder cylinder. The bullets claim classes A, B, C, D, electrical, F, and lithium-ion, plus EN3 and CE. The manufacturer’s 2 litre page limits BS EN 3-7 to classes A, B, and F plus electrical fires up to 1000 V at 1 metre, and treats Class C, Class D, and lithium-ion as separate tests, so the Amazon line is wider than that certificate. Recurring faults are a pin and tamper seal already off, agent that sprayed when the unit was lifted, pressure near the low mark, and a bracket too weak for a car.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a water-based unit for a small indoor room, and you will treat the manufacturer’s EN 3-7 scope as the certificate rather than the Amazon all-fires bullet.
Less suitable: You need a strapped vehicle powder, or you are buying this pack as a lithium-ion extinguisher certified under BS EN 3.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this one cylinder or two?
The size line says 2 Litre (Pack of 2). The package weight on the listing is 7.58 kg and the price is about £90.
Does it include a bracket?
Included components list a wall hook. Several reviews say the bracket is a poor fit for a car.
Which fires does the listing claim?
The bullets claim classes A, B, C, D, electrical, F and lithium-ion battery fires, and they claim EN3 and CE. A numeric rating is not in the saved listing. The manufacturer’s page for model 809-765-347-846 limits BS EN 3-7 to A, B, and F plus electrical fires up to 1000 V at 1 metre.
The Navpower 2 kg ABC powder, listed at about £29.53, is titled for a car, boat, camper, home, or office, and the title claims RINA and MED approval plus a support. amazon.co.uk shows 4.1 from 125 reviews, while about 45 written reviews are mostly from Italy on the UK listing, so the average is not British opinion. Reviewers who are satisfied call it compact and say the seller sent a replacement. The plastic support or base arrives broken often enough to be the main complaint, and the safety tab or clip snaps for others. Some units are described as empty, leaking powder, or looking used. The page does not state BS EN 3 or a Kitemark, and it prints no numeric fire rating. One reviewer said they would not use it where a legal workplace duty applies. It is cheaper than the Firexo pack and still loses the value block because of those empty and broken-base reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are comparing a marine approval claimed in the title, and you will reject the parcel if the base is cracked or the cylinder feels empty.
Less suitable: You need a workplace cylinder a competent person can commission, or you need a bracket that survives delivery.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing include a bracket?
The title says the 2 kg ABC powder comes with a support. Reviews often describe a plastic base, and many say that base arrived broken.
Is a kitchen use confirmed?
The saved listing asks whether it can be used in a kitchen. It does not answer that question. The title lists car, boat, camper, home and office. Powder is not the default in a small kitchen.
Is it described as rechargeable?
The saved listing asks if it is rechargeable and does not give an answer, so that point is not stated.
The Gloria P2 GM, model 001473.0000, is a red 2 kg car powder at about £64.67, with classes A, B and C and a car holder in the bullets. The listing cites DIN EN 3 rather than a BSI Kitemark, and the saved listing has no amazon.co.uk star line. About 49 reviews are mostly from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden. People who like it mention one-handed use, rounded edges, a pressure gauge, and a holder that felt secure in a car or motorhome. The same file calls the plastic holder cheap, records one order with fixings missing, and describes a gauge showing no pressure. Comments about a missing German inspection sticker belong to a service regime this comparison does not treat as a UK certificate. Listed size is 32.2 × 11.1 × 14.5 cm at 3.68 kg, and the saved listing still has no 13A or 34B figure at more than three times the about £19.99 powder.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a branded car-shaped powder, and you will check the gauge and the fixings on the day it arrives.
Less suitable: You are buying for a UK workplace that expects a Kitemark, or you are choosing from a star average this listing does not show.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with a car bracket?
The bullets say delivery includes a car holder. One reviewer said fixing hardware was not in the box.
Which classes are stated?
The title and bullets state fire classes A, B and C, and the standard line is DIN EN 3. A numeric fire rating is not in the saved listing. DIN EN 3 is not a BSI Kitemark.
What is the amazon.co.uk star rating?
The listing has no customer-reviews star line, so the rating is not stated, even though individual reviews are present.
Four amazon.co.uk listings were scored on 19 October 2026 from the listing text, the review notes, and public UK sources already named below. This is not a laboratory test and not a fire-rating test. A score is not a claim that one cylinder is the only 2 kg extinguisher worth buying in the UK. The three weights sum to 100.
Amazon evidence
40%Star rating scaled by review count, maximum 40. United Kingdom review text scores higher than a sample whose written reviews are from other countries. No star line stays low even when individual reviews exist. A count that mixes other sizes of the same brand is discounted. Empty cylinders, a pin already out, a gauge with no pressure, or a broken bracket come off this block.
Label and bracket
35%Maximum 35. A stated BS EN 3 line and a BSI Kitemark score 15. A class statement that does not pretend to be a numeric rating the page never prints scores 10. A bracket the reviews do not keep breaking scores 10. DIN EN 3 is not scored as a Kitemark. An Amazon class list wider than the manufacturer’s EN 3-7 sentence costs points.
Value
25%Maximum 25. Shelf price in GBP against a label you can read and a review file you can place. The lowest price does not win this block when the listing contradicts itself or the unit arrives empty. It can still win the total.
Match the agent to the fuel and the room before you compare the four shelf prices. A 2 kg ABC powder and a 2 litre water-based unit are not the same tool. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk lines on 19 October 2026, from about £19.99 to about £90. Stars are not a fire test, and a score is not a discharge in a lab.
A 2 kg fire extinguisher is a portable cylinder. In this set it is either ABC dry powder or Firexo’s 2 litre water-based model 809-765-347-846, sold on amazon.co.uk as a pack of two. ABC powder covers Class A solids, Class B liquids, and Class C gases. It is widely described as usable on live electrical equipment, with poor cooling and heavy residue. The kilograms are the charge, not the size of the test fire. A bigger A or B number under BS EN 3 is a bigger test fire.
A title that says wall bracket, vehicle bracket, support, or car holder is still a cylinder first. Check the gauge, the pin, and the seal. Navpower reviews often describe a plastic base that arrives broken, and some cylinders are described as empty or used. Gloria reviews include a gauge with no pressure and one box with fixings missing.
amazon.co.uk stars describe the parcel and the printed claims. They are not a BS EN 3 test fire. The unbranded powder is 4.8 from 89 reviews, and almost none of those reviewers report a real fire. Firexo’s 4.6 from 2,039 reviews mixes other sizes. Gloria has written reviews and no star line. A missing 13A or 34B figure stays missing.
A title that says home does not make powder the kitchen tool. Indoor powder can cut visibility. Firexo’s Amazon bullets claim classes A, B, C, D, electrical, F, and lithium-ion. The manufacturer’s 2 litre page limits BS EN 3-7 to A, B, and F plus electrical fires up to 1000 V at 1 metre, and treats Class C, Class D, and lithium-ion as separate tests. Do not jet any of these onto a chip pan.
Start with the fuel and the room. ABC dry powder covers Class A solids, Class B liquids, and Class C gases, with poor cooling and heavy residue. It is the usual vehicle, garage, and outdoor choice. A water-based 2 litre is the indoor alternative in this set when you need an agent the manufacturer ties to Class F. Powder is not the default in a small kitchen or a flat. The Fire Protection Association quotes BS 5306-8 on the visibility and breathing problem indoors. Then read the rating.
On the day it arrives, the gauge should be in the green and the pin and seal intact. A vehicle cylinder needs a bracket you can strap. Reviews here describe empty units, a pin already off, a gauge with no pressure, and a plastic base that snaps. Those faults reduce the Amazon-evidence score. A private home and a private car do not have to carry an extinguisher. If you carry one in a car, strap it down. An HSE small-load dangerous-goods vehicle still needs one 2 kg dry powder.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a 2 kg ABC powder you can strap down, with a wall and vehicle bracket named in the title. The unbranded listing states BS EN 3-7 and a Kitemark at about £19.99. It does not print 13A or 34B, and reviewers have not used it on a fire.
You want a water-based unit rather than a powder cloud in a flat or a small kitchen. The Firexo pack is about £90, sold as two 2 litre units. Treat the manufacturer’s EN 3-7 scope as the certificate, not the Amazon all-fires bullet.
You want a named Gloria car powder with a holder in the bullets, and you will check the gauge and the fixings on the day it arrives. The P2 GM is about £64.67. The listing cites DIN EN 3, not a BSI Kitemark, and it has no star line.
The top pick is the unbranded 2 kg ABC powder, score 81, at about £19.99. It leads because the bullets state BS EN 3-7 and a Kitemark, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 89 reviews written mostly in the United Kingdom. The saved listing still has no 13A or 34B figure, and reviewers have not used it on a fire. The best value is the Firexo 2 litre pack, score 54, at about £90. That mark exists only because the powder already holds the top score: £90 buys a water-based agent and a large review file, not another powder whose base arrives broken. The 2,039 reviews mix other Firexo sizes, and the manufacturer’s EN 3-7 scope is narrower than the Amazon class list. Neither badge is a lab result.
