Those disposable type can last longer. It is like opening a can, once you break it, you have to finish it.
Aerosol fire extinguisher is more suitable for home and personal usage. Even though it also started to gain popularity in industry and military.
The reuseable can tell me the pressure is still good or not. By checking the gauge.
If pressure low, I can bring it to refill that doesn't cost me much.
So the refilling method still cost me less in a long run.
For the aerosol type, I don't no is it good or not in the shelf. By the time I need it, it probably in low pressure. It don't have the gauge to tell me.
The only reason I want to get the aerosol type is to put inside my car. Cause the refill type is too big store under the car seat.

But not for my home.
You need to check the gauge, some needs to be certified as well. It is really a hassle for average home user.
The disposable type can easily last 10 years. When it is expired just buy a new one.
Also.... make sure its a GOOD brand... cause our cars get VERY hot when parked under the sun... my fren had a gas cannister which exploded in the trunk and embedded itself halfway thru the backseat...

The 1kg is safe to put in the trunk compare to the gas canister. Very much different from the safety design and the storing material.
And it already been age for such type of fire extinguisher in the trunk.
But I have a dilemma which is more useful when need it.

I avoid trunk not about its exploding, its about accessibility... cabin would be much easier to access.
Best would be in a position where u can access even if you are pinned in the car...
In the same vein... I have a very nice knife with belt cutter and carbide window breaker within easy access as well. (dont get a STEEL window breaker... it doesnt work and you wont have the leverage to make it work).

PETALING JAYA: Just days after holding a Chinese New Year reunion dinner, a couple and their two sons were killed in a blaze, choked by smoke when they were trapped by the iron grille on the windows of their house.
The body of Lim Ah Kok, 58, was found with those of his two sons, Lim Yong Liang, 20, and Lim Yong Wei, 17, in the second room on the upper floor of a double storey terrace house in Jalan USJ 2/3, Subang Jaya.
His wife Goh Bee Khim, 51, was found in the bathroom of the master bedroom.
The couple’s eldest daughter, Lim Yi Jun, 23, was not home as she is staying near her college in Cheras.
The family’s two dogs survived the fire.
It is believed that Lim could have rushed to wake up his sons in the next room before they all succumbed to the smoke.
The early morning blaze yesterday was believed to have been sparked by a short circuit on the ground floor.
Neighbours who heard the screams from the house had alerted firemen, who reached the scene in 10 minutes upon receiving a call at 5.34am.
However, by then, the fire was too big.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director (operations) Mohd Sani Harul said the firemen had problems trying to enter the house as the front gate was locked.
“We had to cut the autogate’s lock,” he said.
Another team, added Mohd Sani, managed to get onto the roof of the house through a neighbour’s house to bring the blaze under control and keep it from spreading.
It is learnt that the firemen managed to rescue the dogs, one of which was kept in the house and was found with its fur blackened by the thick smoke.
Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohammad Azlin Sadari said a post-mortem showed that the couple and their sons had died from smoke inhalation, adding that their bodies were not burnt by the fire.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation but he did not rule out the possibility of short circuit.
“We believe that the fire started downstairs, because the victims appeared to be trapped upstairs,” he told reporters at the scene.
Police, he said, believed that Lim had been trying to alert his sons as their bodies were found in the same room.
The family, added ACP Mohammad Azlin, was believed to have been trapped in by the iron grille on the windows.
He urged the public to ensure that they only installed those which could be opened during emergencies.
The funeral for the four victims is expected to be held in Butterworth
