Customer Review: TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! DON'T BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
i used this safe for 3 months and the battery ran out. i could not unlock the safe unless i used the key. On top of that, a month later the dial to lock the safe started to stick and opening was just hell. soon it was unmovable. i wish i had just gotten a different one when the battery ran out. i had to break into my own safe. Worst purchase i have made yet.Customer Review: THE

Summary: 1 Stars
Jeff Foxworthy used to tell a joke about his wife buying him a portable safe. He said that it was a great innovation which allowed thieves to break into your safe at their leisure from the comfort and security of their den. He should have used a picture of this product.
This unit is sturdy enough to avoid cursory break-ins. But it is so small and light, anyone can just steal the box with your valuables in it. There is no cable lock to secure it to something larger or heavier (like a desk or bed). The handle is flimsy, so there is no way to add one without drilling holes. If you buy this, you are only buying the illusion of security.
Customer Review: Very Pleased

I just got this security box, but so far I am very pleased with it. It appears to be well made and I do not have any problems with the digital lock. I think the problem the previous reviewer had was the key is an "overide". You have to turn the key to the lock position and then the digital lock will function. If the key is in the unlock position, it overides the digital lock and it won't lock. They even give you a black plastic cap to cover up the key hole, because once you lock the box with the key, you shouldn't have to use it again, except in the case of an emergencyCustomer Review: Very Poorly Made Avoid this product
Summary: 1 Stars
At first glance this seemed like a great product. Digital security and a backup Key.
However after owing and using this product for the last year It is clear this is a very flawed design and poorly made.
#1 Any safe that is electronic, ie battery powered is FLAWED. When the batteries(inside the unit) run down, you can NO LONGER OPEN THE UNIT.
Think about it, you have stored all your valuables in there and your batteries ran out, just like in your remote control, but here you can not get into the box.
#2 They give you a Backup KEY and now its clear why they do that. However, the key slot is about as cheap as anything in China can be made and having used it perhaps three times, the key JAMMED and would not turn.
So dead batteries and a $.10 Key mechanism create a useless device, period.
Never buy a security device that is battery based, take it from me, I should know.
