Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Spray
Customer Review: Worked great for me
Summary: 5 Stars
Fortunately I did not have the problem one of the other posters had with this product. I purchased this product for my wife since local newspaper reviews gave it high marks and it looked easy to use.
I actually had to use it the other day because we had a grease fire and it worked like a charm. The Tundra put the fire out after a few seconds and was very easy to use, especially in a tense situation. Also felt like there was still quite a bit left in the can. The clean up was easy as well.
Customer Review: safety item
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit I have not had to use this extinguisher. I had read reviews and therefore bought them. They are convenient to handle, easy to keep anywhere without being an eyesore. Straightforward as to ho to use them. Hust a handy safety item. I gave them to my kids for their college dorms . I will buy a couple more soon.Customer Review: Tundra Fire Suppressant Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm editing my previous review because my daughter had the opportunity to use hers and it worked great. It was easy to use. Not bulky like a fire extinguisher, didn't have to read the instructions or take it off of safety. The can fits nicely in the cabinet or pantry.Customer Review: Looks like it will do the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
Haven't had an opportunity to try it out yet (thank God) and hope I never have to but it looks like it will do the job.Customer Review: Good idea, could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
Fortunately, I have not had to use this yet, so I am judging by its features and potential. I like the idea of something small, handy and that is easy to operate. I think they are right that the few seconds you save by having something nearby probably makes a big difference. However, I share concerns of others about the two-year expiration date. The bigger issue is any lack of pressure indicator, which you find on conventional extinguishers. Without that, two things will happen. People who own spray cans that are still good and usable will be needlessly tossing them because of the expiration date. The company's web site suggests that the pressure holds for many years beyond that, but they give you the date for a margin of safety, or more likely because the lawyers told them to. So there will be a lot of these tossed while in perfectly good condition. But worse is that other people will forget about there being an expiration date and the thing will not work when they need it to. The company should try to figure out a cost-effective way of adding a simple go/no-go pressure indicator that tells you with a glance whether the device is still usable. That would be a much better way to deal with the issue. Even if it raises the price, it would still be cost-effective in the long run because they would only be replaced when necessary, and not by the flipping of a calendar page.
