But we have an older one too good to throw away. Taking it in for
formal recharge which includes pressure test etc. will cost more than
buying a new, but of lesser quality, extinguisher. Which seems ironic!


How do you know it's of lesser quality? It still puts out the fire doesn't
it? Metal handle vs plastic? Metal handles bend, plastic ones can break.
Both are poor quality if designed poorly, both are high quality if designed
right.
