I was broken into, and the police forensics were laughing at how easy it was to steal this despite me using all he parts it came with. They particularly loved the 'plastic base' which 'made the burglars lives easier'

When we had it, it was great... however, we no longer have our safe ...

I chose this safe as I was looking for a fireproof, waterproof option with good storage capacity for A4 documents. Delivery was on time, the unit is of course very heavy, was able to 'roll' it across the floor but would advise 2 people to handle.

The safe is excellent build quality, a small peg on a base plate can be removed and then screwed into the floor, then the safe is placed on top of this and bolted on. There is a waterproof seal on the peg.

The electronic keypad is easy to use, there is also a key as well.

One word of advice is that I really only looked at the internal dimensions to ensure I could fit in what I wanted. Being fireproof, the walls of this safe are very thick, so it is a larger unit than you might expect for the internal dimensions.

Overall, recommended.

The only reason I've given 4 stars for security rather than 5 is that (fortunately!) it hasn't been subjected to attack, fire or flood so I have no personal empirical knowledge. I chose this safe because it was just about the only reasonably priced 'consumer' safe that had a mechanical back-up lock combined with good fire protection and water-resistance should the fire service be doing what they have to do to extinguish a significant fire. Electronic keypads are great for convenience but much more likely to fail than mechanical locks (especially if there is a fire) so for me, a back-up key is a vital part of the overall security. It was also a simple to secure it to the floor needing only basic DIY skills.

I recently purchased the Phoenix Titan Aqua FS1293e fire safe from safe.co.uk. It was delivered promptly next day direct from the manufacturers. As it is a heavy safe it came in a large cardboard box strapped on a small wooden pallet. It was well packed and protected.

I like the fact that it comes with digital key pad and a key to unlock, you can use either the key or keypad to unlock the safe. Some other makes of safes you have to use both the key pad and a key to unlock, this you only need one. Plus if the key pad should fail for any reason then you can just use the key to get inside to put in new batteries.

Internally it comes with an adjustable shelf and a draw for small items. The safe has plenty of roof to store A4 documents inside with room to spare I am using mine to store office documents and find it easy to use with the keypad.

The only one minor negative point is the instructions that explain about resetting the code number. It refers to pressing a reset button on the inside of the door. The button is actually inside the door and you need to use a pointed object to push through a small 3mm hole to reset it. A label stuck on inside of the door pointing to the reset would be helpful for first time user.

Solidly built, with good security buy sue of combination and/or key. It is heavy to move but you will only move it once!!! I would not recommend the provided floor fixing as it is really not fit for use: it lacks strength and is only secured to the floor by screws. However, I used a coach bolt which easily fitted withing the hole in the base of the safe with the nut seated easily below the inner skin so as not to interfere with the operation of the draw. All in all, a quality product as a fair price. If I were to buy another one, would I repurchase, the answer would be YES.

This safe is robustly and extremely well constructed. We placed it in a cupboard in a corner fixed to the back solid wall and the floor. The option of the electronic key pad and the two physical keys provided ,to open and close the safe, is an additional advantage. Highly recommended if you are looking at this price range.

Great little safe. Very easy to set up. I couldn't work out how to screw it to the floor - but that wasn't very important to me. Internal light is useful as is the movable shelf. In-door storage is handy for things like passports. The alarm on it isn't very loud - you'd struggle to hear it behind a closed door. But as a basic safe it does very well.

I bought this safe to store my paperwork and valuables. My main requirement was for protection in the event of a fire so bith Fire and Water protection was important. So far, so good! I hope I never need to test those qualities. It’s neat, sturdy and easy to use with ample space for what I need it for. I would recommend 👍

We needed to get a new fire-safe as we'd outgrown our previous one – no matter how big you think will suffice, once you have a fire-safe you realise there are plenty more documents that it would be handy to keep protected in the (hopefully unlikely) event of a fire. Having bought our previous fire-safe from safe.co.uk we once again looked at the options available. This Titan Aqua model seemed ideal, as there doesn't seem any point in buying a cheaper fire-safe that isn't water-proof or only protects from fire for a few minutes. It was delivered promptly, on a palette (which confirmed how sturdy it is!) Having manoeuvred it into position (ground floor thankfully) it was very easy to set up, and so far has proved highly useable. What's more we even still have room for more new documents inside! Two of the nice features are that there is a light on the inside edge of the door, which illuminates the interior when the door is open; and also that it locks when you shut the door. Very happy with this fire-safe and would recommend to anyone else.

This is a solid, good looking, affordable safe. It's easy to set up your key code with the instructions. The keypad access, door and handle feels well made and should withstand a lot of use. I needed a safe that could store several hard drives and withstand a decent amount of time under heat and water. This safe allows me to store a decent mixture of hard drives in cases and internal hard drives, probably between 15 - 20 max. It's also very heavy, and requires two male adults to lift it - obviously a positive aspect. The internal LED is dim, but it's probably as bright as it could be for the battery that powers it, however, it lights the inside adequately.
