Best fire extinguisher

Updated: 20 October 2026

You want the best fire extinguisher from the four amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison, and a single winner would be a fib. A glovebox can, a 2 kg powder cylinder and a 1 kg unit with a printed fire rating are doing different jobs. This page is from the Products Compared editorial team. Prices and stars are from the listings captured on 19 October 2026. We did not light a test fire. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. The [fire extinguisher comparison](/hub/fire-protection/fire-extinguisher) holds the table. Here each listing gets a person it suits, and a person who should leave it.

What best can mean here

Best on this page means the listing whose label matches a stated fuel, with a mark you can read, at a price we actually captured. It does not mean the highest star line. The Fire Protection Association, citing BS 5306-8:2012, says powder should generally not be specified indoors. The top pick is the only unit with a printed 8A 34B rating. The best value is the 2 kg listing at about £19.99, with more powder and a Kitemark EN3 line, and without that number. The criteria sit on the fire extinguisher buying guide.

The 2 kg powder listing

The unbranded 2 kg dry powder extinguisher, ASIN B0CPYG8K2V, is about £19.99. The title states ABC powder for class A, B and C fires, and a wall bracket plus a vehicle bracket. The bullets print BS EN3-7:2004+A1:2007 and Kitemark EN3. The listing line is 4.8 from 89 reviews. The saved listing contains 23 UK texts, and nobody in those texts reports a fire. Skip it if you needed a numerical rating. There is no 13A, no 34B, no brand line and no pressure gauge in the bullets. It is the best value when the job is a garage, a vehicle or a hallway where you accept the cloud and you are happy with classes A, B and C without a test-fire number.

The 1 kg Ogniochron

The Ogniochron 1 kg ABC powder extinguisher, ASIN B07FMMBDGT, is about £23.42 and the top pick because the bullets print 8A 34B and C-class. The same bullets name an aluminium body, a pressure gauge, a 4 m discharge range, CE approved EN 3, RINA and MED. The manufacturer is KZWM Ogniochron S.A. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 736 reviews. Do not read those 736 as British opinion. The first 50 reviews in the saved listing are from Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden, and the plastic bracket often arrives cracked. Buy it when you want the only numerical rating and you will check the gauge and the bracket on arrival. Leave it if you wanted UK review texts or a kitchen oil extinguisher.

The two small cans

The Super Help SH2400, ASIN B0075293WW, is a 400 ml can at about £11.99 with 4.6 from 2,753 reviews. The listing prints no class and no British Standard. A UK review says the bottle states it is not suitable for an electrical fire. It is a small vehicle can if you read the bottle, and the wrong best for a house. The Metro HG 098-00, ASIN B0044WWYRC, is 600 g at about £14.28 with 4.5 from 103 reviews. The bullets say classes B and C, BSI certified to BS616 2002 and Kitemarked, and safe for use on electrical equipment. They do not say Class A. The plastic strap breaks in several reviews. Skip both cans for furniture, curtains or a chip pan, and read the how to use a fire extinguisher page before you pull a pin.

Common questions

Which of these four should I buy for a garage?
The 2 kg ABC listing at about £19.99, if you accept no numerical rating and no brand, because the title covers classes A, B and C and includes a vehicle bracket. The 1 kg Ogniochron is the alternative when you want 8A 34B and a gauge and you will inspect the plastic support on arrival. This comparison has powder, not a CO2 cylinder.
Is the cheapest can the best value?
No. The Super Help at about £11.99 is the lowest price and the weakest label: 400 ml, no class, no standard. Best value here is the 2 kg powder at about £19.99, which is more agent than the about £23.42 1 kg unit and the only page with Kitemark EN3 in the bullets. Cheap is not the same as value when the listing never says which fire it is for.
Does 4.8 from 89 reviews beat 4.5 from 736?
Not as a fire result. The 4.8 belongs to the 2 kg listing, and the 23 UK texts are from people who have not used it. The 4.5 from 736 belongs to the Ogniochron, and the first 50 reviews are not from the United Kingdom. Stars do not replace 8A 34B.
Can I use the Metro 600 g unit on a sofa?
The listing gives you no basis for that. The bullets say classes B and C only, which is liquids and gases, plus a line about electrical equipment. A sofa is class A. Reviewers talk about gloveboxes, not furnishings. One outdoor bin fire is the use story in the file. BS616 2002 is the standard string as printed, and it is not a Class A claim.
What should I buy instead for a chip pan?
Not any of these four. Hereford and Worcester and Hampshire both say you do not use a powder extinguisher on a chip pan, and water or foam will spread the oil. GOV.UK points householders to a fire blanket in the kitchen. A wet-chemical Class F extinguisher is the cylinder type for oil, and it is not in this shortlist.
