It should have an inspection tag on it with dates. Powder type extinguishers should be checked and refilled periodically due to the powder settling and becoming a solid block. If yours is 20 years old without any attention it needs to be refilled or replaced. For CO2 extinguishers, if they have pressure and weigh as being full you're OK. Take them to your local fire station if in doubt.How long does one last?
I have one in my kitchen, which is now 20. The pressure indicator still shows in the green.
Do these have a life expectancy ?
They also would be nice as for the mess in a small kitchen fire. Only downside is they are FAR more expensive than the others.How about getting a CO2 extinguisher? No reason to worry about the powder clumping.

I should note that I keep my outdoor hoses hooked up unless freezing weather hits so that I can use them in a pinch if I had to.
