says that powder is unsuitable for offices and living accommodation.
And this youtube link suggests a small extinguisher may not help with car fires.

When I did fire marshalling at a race track, we were under strict instructions not to start attacking a fire until there were 2 x 9 litre foam (to protect the driver) and 2 x 9kg dry powder extinguishers (to attack the fire) ready to use. Anything less was not likely to work, although I have seen 2 x 5kg CO2 successfully extinguish an engine fire in a road car - both were needed.

I assume it has to be water at that price

You would be wrong then. Dry powder. Easily checked by looking at website.

Red body with a blue band. Probably made in Israel but should work as long as the pressure gauge is in the green. It is not unknown for them to lose pressure.
The picture on the website shows them saying powder.

Noticed something similar in Lidl today. Coloured red.
Probably a chav with too much fake tan on
In Battersea? Even the Romas have X5s.

What the hell were they cleaning it with - a battalion of midgets, all armed with toothpicks, picking up each grain of extinguishant individually and carefully wrapping it in gold leaf?
Is that because the end gets cut off?
Better than marching powder.
