 Good safe for the money |

I did a bit of research before deciding to buy this safe. I've received and and placed in in the house and I'm very pleased with it.
This is a heavy safe (182 lbs) and it takes two strong people to move it. The weight is an advantage because only a very strong burglar will be able to remove it by himself.
It only has a 1 hour fire rating (for paper, not electronic media) and while I'd like a longer rating, I didn't want to pay much more than I did.
This safe is also "waterproof" and I imagine that this is as important as fireproof.
The digital codes are very easy to set and reset. This unit also comes with two keys which will open the safe (obviously you will want to hide the keys away far from the safe).
This safe is larger than most inexpensive safes at 2 cubic feet and I don't feel that it is too large.
It looks to be well made and it's backed by a large company that can help you if ever you lock the safe, forget the combination, lose the keys as you can still call Honeywell and give them the serial number. After some length of interrogation, I think that they can help you open the safe.
Lastly, you can spend thousands or tens of thousands on a safe that is burglar-proof. I didn't want to go that far. I think I made a good choice. |

| After returning a damaged in shipment product, I received the new safe. I find it is very useful and practical. The overall size is not too large. The storage area is larger than most of the safes that I considered purchasing. The removable file holder increases the storage capacity. The digital entry is very easy to operate. I would recommend this product and model without hesitation. |
An Excellent Safe For the Money

I've had this safe for almost four months now, and this is an excellent safe for the money. I've been meaning to get a safe for quite a few years now but could not decide on which one to get. When I narrowed my lengthy search to this safe, I was concerned from reading the other reviews that there's a high chance that it would get damaged during shipment.
But I decided to take a chance and ordered it anyway. When the safe arrived two days later, there were a few slight dents on the corners (how can you dent a safe so easily?!), but there no cracks (cracks will affect its fire, water, and anti-theft capability, so be sure to send it back if you see any), so I was happy with it. But I have to say, the factory cardboard packaging that the safe came in was all torn and beat-up. I am really surprised that Honeywell packages such a large safe so poorly. The only styrofoam that came with the packaging was on the keyboard and door handle. The rest of the safe was wrapped with thin cardboard with no additional cushioning, so it's no surprise that so many other safes were damaged upon arrival. I guess I was one of the lucky ones who only had a few dents on the corners of my safe.
The combination code for the safe is easy to program, and it's been working just fine. I don't open the safe often, but it never gives me any problems whenever I do.
I didn't want to spend more on more secure safes, so this one was perfect for me. It's provides the security that I'm comfortable with and is very roomy on the inside.
So all in all, this is an excellent safe, and worth every penny. I would recommend it highly.
On a side note, SentrySafe is another brand worth considering if you're looking for a good safe. |

I did my research before buying this safe as well, and the only complaint I found from other people was the poor packaging for shipping. As others have mentioned, the shipping problems seem to be remedied.
I received my safe in prefect condition. No damage in shipping what-so-ever. It was boxed in the original packaging, then boxed again with additional packing for extra protection as well as being discreate.
I am completely satisfied with this safe, and would definitly reccomend to anyone. |
Great Value!

| I will first address the packaging issue since it has become the #1 issue regarding this product. My safe arrived quickly, via FedEx, without any damage to the box. Amazon packaged the safe inside it's original manufacturer's box, then packaged it again INSIDE another very sturdy cardboard box. Between the boxes around each corner was densely wrapped foam that was contoured to protect all sides of each corner. Finally, the outside box's corners were reinforced with brown corded tape. Not one ding. Not one dent. My safe arrived in perfect condition. I guess Amazon stepped up to the plate and fixed the shipping issue. With that said, the safe was a great value. I have not operated the safe, as I am giving it as a gift -- but I'm sure the recipient will be pleased! |
