Home Hero Fire Extinguisher

200710190723

I have had several reader write-ins lately about the fabulous Home Hero Fire Extinguisher. This fire extinguisher has all the bells and whistles that you would expect to find in a fire extinguisher plus something you wouldn’t, stylish design. It has a ergonomic shape for easy one handed use, and a modern look that will fit into about any decor. The idea is to create a product that looks nice enough that you can actually leave it in a place that will be easily accessible, not buried in the back of a cupboard underneath your tupperware collection. They also have a 2 in 1 smoke and carbon monoxide detector that connect wirelessly to other Home Hero smoke detectors. This creates a system similar to hard wired smoke detectors where if one goes off, they all go off.

Fire extinguishers are available exclusively at Home Depot for around $30.

Thanks for the tips!

    The fire extinguisher is a great idea. It looks kind of like a giant pepper grinder :) I hope the fire alarms can be reset from any unit. It would be maddening to have all the alarms going off while trying to find the one to reset (during a false alarm).

    I went to the Hero website and it said that the products weren’t available yet. There was even a form to fill out to get notified when they are. Has anyone actually seen them in HD?

    Hello – long time listener, first time caller.

    I am all for stylish home products, and the idea of keeping an extinguisher closer to a hazard area is great idea, but… haven’t we all been conditioned to know what a fire extinguisher looks like in an emergency? If I was a guest in your home, I would have no idea to grab the stylish Home Hero as an extinguisher. Educating people of it’s function and use also comes with this new form.

    Ger, yes you can silence them all from one unit.

    Nicole, I have heard from some people that they have them in their local HD, but it’s not listed on their website, so I guess you can call first or just go look. I heard they are with the smoke detectors in electrical.

    Daniel, I agree strangers would probably struggle with these. Hopefully you don’t have any strangers starting fire in your house when you are not around.

    I have seen the Home Hero in a local Pennsylvania Home Depot store…and as a former marketing and product management lead in for a major home safety products company I recognize hype when I see and read it….The Home Hero at $24.95 is priced at a 250% of the price of a similarly rated (UL 5B:C rating) extinguisher which is typically approximately $10. If Home Depot was so proud of this product and its efficacy, wouldn’t they have listed the rating on the carton prominantly- as it is for all other fire extinguishers? Instead- it is hidden as part of the products model code- Home Depot does it again- scams the consumer.

    where can I find cool recessed fire extinguisher cabinets for a commercial building or does that even exist yet?

    Any recommendations would be helpful, I am clueless! Thanks!

    i think you guys should have it more straight to the point rather than having to look so much but other than that like the website!!!!!!!

    Home Hero Smoke/CO alarms FALSE ALARMS

    I just had the second instance of this. I have had enough. I am scrapping them.

    Hello!
    I was interested by production HomeHero. I live in Russia, I have own business on sale of the fire-prevention equipment. The adjusted network of sale across all Russia. Unfortunately, could not find in the Internet the contact data of manufacturer Homehero. Help me to find the contact data of the manufacturer please.
    Thankful in advance.

    Maybe your product is good, I am sorry I purchased it since I am an Amerian & I feel that by selling a product that translates in spanish it’s inproper in a country that’s official language is English. Had I known it babbles in a foreign language I would have never bought it.But I am stuck with it since it cost $50.00, I guess that’s how things are now, truly dissapointing. I will not buy another product of yours,& I will in fact let others know.

  • Jeffery Monti

    Yes, I agree. I too am a United States citizen and granted our latin american speaking population is growing. However where this product can be sold worldwide on the internet it does not seem to make sense to hardwire both english and spanish voice dialects without the option to silence one or the other. Seems like things are getting confused everywhere in the world these days. I too was surprised to hear commands spoken in both dialects. First time I have experienced this. I believe this design approach can impact sales of this device. Time will tell.
