Amerex Editorial Review

The Amerex B500, 5lb ABC Dry Chemical Class A B C Fire Extinguisher is a reliable product that comes fully charged and ready for use. It is made in the USA and comes with vehicle mounts and straps. The instruction sheet includes a "Monthly Inspection" form (with directions for inspection) that is to be cut out, attached to the extinguisher, and filled out monthly. The extinguisher comes with a breakable plastic zip tie already installed (to show that the extinguisher has not been used) as well as a spare zip tie. It is rechargeable and has a good charge level for years. Customer reception of this product seems generally positive. One customer expressed disappointment that the extinguisher they received was used and non-functioning, but this seems to be a rare case. Others were satisfied with how easy the product was to install and praised its sturdiness. Some customers bought multiple extinguishers and appreciated the fact that they are refillable at any local fire extinguisher shop. The product also comes with an instruction sheet that includes a monthly inspection form, which customers found useful.
