Updated: 20 October 2026

The best 2kg fire extinguisher in this set depends on the job: the about £19.99 powder for a van, the Gloria for a branded car cylinder, or the Firexo 2 litre pack for a small room, inside the certificate the manufacturer states.

A powder near £20 when the job is a van or a garage

B0CPYG8K2V is an unbranded 2 kg ABC dry powder at about £19.99. The bullets state BS EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 and a Kitemark, the title states classes A, B and C, and the title includes a wall and vehicle bracket. amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 89 reviews, mostly written in the United Kingdom. That is the top pick because the stated mark, the UK review text, and the price line up, not because anyone here discharged it. The saved listing has no 13A or 34B figure. Almost none of the reviews describe a real fire. Skip it if you need a published Class F rating, or if a workplace will not accept a cylinder with no service life on the body.

Gloria when you want a car-shaped powder and will pay more

The Gloria P2 GM, model 001473.0000, is about £64.67, a red 2 kg powder for classes A, B and C, with a car holder and DIN EN 3 rather than a BSI Kitemark. The saved listing has no amazon.co.uk star line. Reviewers, mostly from outside the United Kingdom, mention a holder that felt secure, fixings missing from one box, and a gauge with no pressure. Choose Gloria if you want that car shape and you will check the gauge on arrival. Mounting for a vehicle stays on the car page.

Firexo when you will not live with a powder cloud

B0H2DQTVF3 is Firexo model 809-765-347-846 at about £90. The size line says 2 litre, pack of two, with a package weight of 7.58 kg and a wall hook. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 2,039 reviews that also mention other Firexo sizes, so you cannot read all 2,039 as a test of this pack. It is the best value only because the about £19.99 powder already holds the top pick. The manufacturer's page limits BS EN 3-7 to A, B, and F plus electrical fires up to 1000 V at 1 metre. Class C, Class D, and lithium-ion are further testing. Do not buy this pack as a BS EN 3 certificate for a lithium battery.

Common questions

Why is Navpower's 4.1 from 125 a weaker comfort buy than the average suggests?
Because the written sample is mostly from Italy, and the complaints are about the cylinder itself. Plastic bases arrive broken, safety clips snap, and some units are described as empty, leaking, or used. The title's RINA and MED line does not add a BS EN 3 or a Kitemark to the page. A 4.1 average can sit on top of faults you would return on day one.
Gloria has no star line. Does that make it worse?
It makes the UK rating unknown, which is not the same as a low score. The saved listing has reviews, mostly from outside the United Kingdom, and no customer-reviews star line to quote. The car holder, the rounded edges, and DIN EN 3 are what the listing does state. You judge those on the label and on the gauge when it arrives, not on a star that is not there.
Is about £90 the price of one Firexo 2 litre?
The saved amazon.co.uk price is about £90 for the size line 2 litre, pack of two, with a package weight of 7.58 kg. Read that as two units unless a later offer on the same ASIN says otherwise. It is not the price of the about £19.99 powder, and it is not a single-cylinder price taken from another Firexo size in the review text.
Can the 2,039 reviews all be about this pack?
No. The listing line is 4.6 from 2,039, and the review text in the saved listing mentions 500 ml, 150 ml, and 9 litre Firexo units as well as this capacity. Use the count as a large file of Firexo comment, not as 2,039 discharges of the pack of two. Arrival faults on this file still count against this ASIN.
What must this page not call a test winner?
It must not call any of these four a laboratory winner, and it must not treat stars as a fire rating. The top pick is the about £19.99 powder because of the stated Kitemark, the UK reviews, and the price. The best value mark sits on the Firexo pack only because that powder already holds the top pick. Neither badge is a BS EN 3 test we ran.
