Kidde is a good brand, it's the brand we use most at work. I'll definitely agree with Chris; buy a metal-bodied extinguisher that's UL listed.<br><br>Also, you should consider the rating of any fire extinguisher you buy. The rating will be on the info label on the side. It'll look something like this: 20:A 10:B-C. Basically, the higher the number, the better the extinguishing properties of that particular unit.<br><br>Also, I wouldn't buy anything less than a 5 lb extinguisher. Something else you might want to consider... the dry chemical compound used in ABC-rated extinguishers is corrosive to electronic components. Bad jOO jOO for that stuff. If you have a lot of electronic equipment, you might want to consider getting a BC-rated CO2 extinguisher for use around electronics.
