1.0 out of 5 stars TRASH! I wouldn't store my garbage in it., December 25, 2010

F****** Garbage.

That's the kindest thing I can say about this safe, and other Sentry safes. It is hard to convey, clearly, just how low quality these products are. In this particular case the handle is weak and can start to come lose, break, with little trouble. The safe is picky about which batteries it will operate properly with. If you use the wrong batteries it will appear to work, but it will not actually unlock. We *nearly* missed a trip to Mexico over this, and no $300 safe is worth missing a family vacation. The electronics inside are the cheapest electronics I have seen in any product I have ever owned. I've seen nicer electronics in tableside alarm clocks and children's toys.

Find a company which actually cares even the slightest bit about its products and its customers.

P.S. Amazon needs to allow me to give a product zero stars.

Garbage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lock mechanism prone to failure, September 23, 2010

I can't speak to how fireproof this safe might be. But I can tell you about the lock mechanism, from cold hard experience, as this has the same internals as similar models. After ours broke, we could not even dispose of the mass sitting in our back room. We can't risk that someone else might open it an access our old files and computer backups.

The official recommendation from SentySafe appears to be "tap it with a rubber mallet, spray wd-40 in, and try again. We did, and finally managed to get the stripped and nearly useless mechanism to budge. The construction on the mechanism is inferior consisting of a mix of pot metal held in place by plastic guides. This is cheap made in China junk that just won't stand the test of time. Only buy it if you don't plan on opening or closing it very often.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product; not perfect, April 21, 2009

This review is from: SentrySafe QE4531 Fire-Safe Water-Resistant Safe with USB-Powered Connectivity, 1.2 Cubic Feet, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

This safe generally provides everything we expected: a solid, secure and relatively compact tool to store our vital documents and data. Unfortunately the safe arrived with a significant dent along the entire side panel and a slight breach in a seam that made us question the integrity of unit's fire/water resistence. We did not exchange the unit as another reviewer did, but the condition definitely temptered our excitement when the safe arrived. One other minor issue is the cheap plastic handle with a rickety feel. Overall good product.
