| The safe is exactly what I was looking for. The safe was very well packaged and arrived dent and scratch free. I have owned it for two weeks and am very satisfied thus far. |
Pleased with my buy

What impressed me the most about my buy was the packaging. In so many past experiences with amazon I have had outer boxes literally ruined by the UPS delivery people. This time a pleasant suprise - the shipment came through by FedEx and was drop-shipped as opposed to having amazon simply place the manufacturer's box into their own. Whoever prepared the safe for shipment should be given an extended coffee break, for the safe came through without harm or injury. The care and attention given to the packing and material used was most evident. Well done!
Now to the item itself: I found the interior shelf to be a rather skimpy and cheap accessory. It could have and should have been made sturdier. The four clips used for it to rest upon fall out easily whenever the shelf is pulled forward - a "natural" procedure when trying to get to the item(s) placed upon it. Not a very well thought out design.
The instructions for setting up the key code are lacking in specificity. I could not locate the hole behind the door to proceed with the set up. At first I thought perhaps the incorrect safe had been sent. Then it "dawned on me" to remove a plate that was screwed to the back of the door. There it was! The plate apparently was provided for heat protection for the inner workings of the comination. None of this was mentioned in the instructions. At any rate, mission accomplished!
I reckon this safe should have been provided with the fixture(s)necessary for bolting to the floor. The weight isn't sufficient to prevent someone from carrying it off - with difficulty, but still it could be done.
I'm not convinced that an override key isn't also a key to burglar access. Meaning if one key can do it all, why couldn't a burglar?
While I'm hardly an expert on assessing whether this safe or any other one will meet the tests, I hope that day never comes. It appears to have been manufactured well and does provide for the security we have sought.
This item meets our needs and I am pleased with the buy.

Safe Arrived Dented

| I might be generous by giving this product 3 stars. The safe had two dents (one in the upper corner and one on the upper right side edge of the safe). I did read on the safe that the safe had been drop-tested and fire-tested. The dents were disappointing for a $200+ item, but since the hurt didn't appear too severe, I kept the product. The safe was the exact size that I wanted and the instructions were simple and clear how to program the safe, a plus. Unfortunately, only after receiving the safe, did I read the comments of other reviewers of other models of Honeywell safes, most complained of dents or worse hurt to their safes. |
Arrived Dented

Packing includes putting safe in box. No padding. It arrived dented on top and side. It going back today... hopefully without any problem. Also there is misleading review by Weber which say packing is impressive. I bought it thinking that may be amazon learned from customer and fixed the issue since reviews complaining about packing were ancient and excellent review was written in 2009...... but nope ..... not yet. If nicely paid amazon/honeywell exes can hear me ...... USE PADDING TO PACK SAFE WHICH WEIGH ABOUT 70 LB. IF YOU DONT THEN IT GETS DENTED IN SHIPPING..... D*** it. It already has padding on top and front side its just matter of using five more sheets of same material which should cost less then dollar.
Product its self look excellent and feels like solid built. Only if they knew how ship it.... it might get 4 or 5 star. |
Reasonably excellent but NOT water-proof

Largest problem - Amazon describes it as water-proof, while in reality it's NOT.
Otherwise reasonably excellent item for the price, no major issues so far.
Packaged very well for shipping, arrived mint (this is in response to some previous reviews). |
