When we have received this safe we've realized that the model was different compared to the one advertised on Amazon's web page. The model that we've received is actually this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yale-Small-Sized-Electronic-screen/dp/B000T5K3Z8/ref=pd_sim_diy_1Very strange mistake coming from Amazon, but anyway we've informed them about this mistake and hopefully they will change the details soon.As for the product, the safe looks good and feels solid enough considering this good price. It is not a professional one so don't expect miracles but it should do the job well if you follow the instructions.For the moment I won't use the PROS and CONS system because I have to start using it for a while and after that I will post my results here. Before purchasing this one, I was also looking at this safe: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yale-Locks-YFM310FG2-Medium-Fire/dp/B0049EPNWI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1331368825&sr=8-8. I had the opportunity to check this one out in store and I have to say that I was impressed with the quality of the product, but that comes with a price. Depending on your needs you can choose between them.We'll keep in touch.Thank you Amazon!

Quality, sturdy built item. Very easy to operate. One of the few safes that is fireproof, it states this in the product information. Other say they are but when looking at the small print they are not. Would recommend this item, quality, looks good, & only paid £49.99 on offer.

This is a good solid safe that is sufficient for most household needs.Now there are some reviews here that say the safe can be unlocked by tapping the top. This is based on YouTube videos that use safes produced by inferior manufactures. You should treat these reviews with the same reverence as you would from someone who has reviewed a film without seeing it. This safe cannot be opened so easily. There are ways to break into this safe (I have done so).First, this safe is made from soft steel, so an Angle Grinder or similar tool will cut through it like a knife through butter.Second is the method I used. Take a hammer and cold chisel, smash the front of the safe off and (more difficult) remove the barrel lock. Insert one’s pinkie finger and with a bit of jiggery pokery the mechanism can be freed to unlock (this is also on a more realistic YouTube video).Both of these methods take a lot of time, make a lot of noise and require suitable access. Hardly ideal for a stealthy amateur burglar. Of course any professional thief worth their salt would just use a barrel lock pick and be done in seconds. But no safe is (eh) safe from a professional thief. If you are worried about such things then buy a much more expensive safe with a cash rating and up your insurance.On the whole this safe is excellent for the price and I recommend it for what it is intended.

Really good product

I bought this because I found things going missing (like the odd pound coin or £10 note out of my wallet) and of course no-one held up their hands and said 'yes it was me' (I am thought of as Bank of Dad after all). The safe arrived quickly and unlike some reviewers, I received mine in mint condition. Of course it's not going to deter the more determined thief, but for keeping temptation away from idle hands it's perfect.I've dropped a star for the same reason that many people have complained. The instructions are abysmal. 'Press the red button' - what red button? there isn't one you can see. Thankfully others have helped by pointing out that there's a black knurled knob on the side of the locking mechanism that simply unscrews off revealing the mysterious red button. I'm a little surprised that a company with a reputation such as Yale have, can put a name to a product that while easy to use, isn't properly described in the instructions.I haven't yet had any of the problems some other reviewers have described, for example I've tried bypassing the code entry by using the key and it works fine. Overall a very useful product but please Yale, don't completely confuse your customers with poor instructions. Since setting the passcode is an essential part of using the safe, how to do it should be clearly described.Update: I recently started getting the indication that the batteries were running low. The batteries I'd been using were the ones supplied with the safe, so how long they'd been lying around is anyone's guess, but basically, they've lasted just under 5 months. I open the safe regularly (at least twice a day) so maybe that's normal. I've just changed them for Eneloop rechargeable batteries so it will be interesting to see how long they last. The good news is that although the batteries had to be removed, the key code I'd set was still correct after inserting the new ones.

Excellent and secure safe. Enclosed instructions easy to follow and set up,, matter of minutes only. Fitting was all provided and again without any concern. Highly recommended and for a great price
