Fire Extinguishers can be Sexy
Some might consider the product category of fire extinguishers as being boring. Sure, the fire extinguisher category is HIGHLY important, but it ain’t a sexy product category. Or is it?
The Home Hero Fire Extinguisher looks anything but dull. It’s sleek and dare we say … sexy.
The Arnell Group has redesigned the fire extinguisher to no longer be “so damn obtrusive, ugly, and not conducive to a pleasant experience of the rest of the aesthetic of your kitchen.” The Home Hero Fire Extinguisher is currently being sold exclusively at Home Depot for the alluring price of $25.00.

I wonder how they succeeded over the change-resistors within their organization to pull off this nice looking product. Great concept.

It's very sleek. And it appears to be less heavy than its former design. I bet a lot of people will be purchasing this new fire extinguisher for their homes. Actually, it seems to make for a nice Christmas gift, too.

There's a very good reason that fire extinuishers are bright red - so it stands out, and is easily found when you're in the middle of a panic.
I suppose if this gets it out from the back of the undersink cabinet, then this is a step forward.

Ditto to what Greg said. In an emergency and you have a baby siter or someone who is unfamiliar with the device, a chance to control a situation could be lost because they couldn't find the extinguisher.
