Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of following reviews for this product and there seem to be several about shipping damage. I decided to purchase this safe at the local Home Depot and it was listed at $159.00 as the normal price. I was expecting a heavy safe and indeed it was. Thinking the weight would be a good deterrent for thieves I wanted to see how difficult it was to carry the safe by myself. I was able to carry the safe (inside the box) up three flights of stairs to my apartment by myself (without stopping)... although I was extremely winded after my experiment. When I took the safe out of the box I had trouble lifting it, let alone moving it somewhere in the house. The outside is extremely slippery and there would have been no way of carrying this by myself for any long distances. I had trouble carrying it to a new room in my apartment. This made me extremely excited, because a single thief would really struggle to go anywhere fast with this thing. Granted all safes could be broken into, but if a thief was there for a quick grab and go, this would really make him think twice about wasting time with it. I did decide to keep the box (for when I move) since the box was easier to grip than the safe itself. I easily found the combination on the back of the user manual. The combination is already set on the safe and it cannot be changed by the user. The keys are inside the safe, but the key slot is already turned to "open" so you only need to use the combination to open it the first time. I read other reviews complaining about the plastic parts on the front of the safe (dial and handle). I understand you are paying a significant amount for this safe, but both parts are a pretty think plastic. You would have to put a lot of force on either one to break them. Doesn't bother me, love the product!
