I currently is use my safe to keep my 3 handguns,ammo, sensitive info hardrives and important documents and I got plenty of space to spare. If you buy ANY waterproof safe make sure you buy yourself some Silica Gel(this safe 80 grams) to avoid moisture destroying your documents and anything in it.

Review 3 for First Alert 1.31-cu. ft. Fireproof and Waterproof Safe with Combination Lock
According to Walmart's description, the 4-number combination can be changed to whatever you want it to be. When I received the safe and read through the owner's manual, I discovered that was completely untrue. Each of these safes has a unique, a factory-set combination that cannot be altered.
Aside from that rather disappointing piece of misinformation, I find this safe to be strong, secure, roomy, and of very nice craftsmanship. Overall, I am not disappointed with my purchase.

Review 4 for First Alert 1.31-cu. ft. Fireproof and Waterproof Safe with Combination Lock
Summary: If you need something more than just a metal lock box -- but something less than a full-sized business safe -- at an affordable price (under $200) with the added benefit of it being fire- & water-proof under most conditions, this one is worth being on your short-list of choices.
Details: I looked at reviews for several different sizes, manufacturers and models of safes and settled on this one. It seemed to be the best match for what I needed, and -- as usual -- Walmart had the best price I could find (most others in the $200-225 range).
It was heavier than I expected for it's size, almost 100 lbs, so it is hefty. I had it delivered to a store close-by for pickup (which was way better & cheaper than having it delivered), so it came in a shipping box, lined with styrofoam and containing the actual product box which was also well packeged. You'll want a pickup or SUV to take this home; it'll fit in a car trunk but you'll probably have to tie the lid down.
Interior of safe is very roomy; plenty of space for documents, jewelry and other small valuables -- even a couple of full-sized handguns and ammo (if you're so inclined). Most of today's laptop computers probably wouldn't fit in it, but smaller mini-laptops, a Kindle Fire, PDA's, a Tom-Tom or Garmin auto GPS, etc would fit with room to spare. The plastic shelf can be moved to 3 levels within the safe or removed completely. The inside panel of the door has a small space in the top, about the size of a Quarter roll for really small items and a set of hooks for keys, necklaces or thin bracelets (like a tennis bracelet).
The overall size of the safe, for me, was large enough to be useful but small enough that it doesn't take up much floor space. You could tuck it in a corner, cover it with small cloth and put a plant on top -- hide it in plain sight and it would not be obvious at all.
I purchased the manual combo lock because I didn't want to have to rely on a battery operated lock. The combination is different than your old school locker combo or a combination padlock you might pick up from the local hardware store, so be prepared for a little bit of learning and be patient; the number and rotation pattern takes a little getting used to... I would recommend you open and lock it several times BEFORE you put anything of value in it, just to get the feel of how it works. It's not hard, just tricky.
The combo numbers are preset and nothing in the booklet tells how to change the numbers. I've read other reviews on this safe where users said you can call their help line and they can tell you how to change the numbers (as of this writing, I haven't called to find out). There is a sticker on the safe with the combo numbers and spin pattern; keep it and hide it somewhere. Also, a barrel-type key lock hidden under a removable tab at the bottom of the combo dial (pictures don't show it) opens the safe if all else fails. The handle is plastic, but it seems pretty heavy-duty. It doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all when you use it to open & lock the door. The door is secured by horizontal 1/2-inch diameter (or a little larger) bolts, so when you close & lock it, it is very tight.
The safe sits on 4 round plastic feet about 1/4 - 3/8 -inch thick. I've read where others have drilled holes and mounted it to the floor, but I think you'd really have to go through alot to do this (industrial drill & bits, re-seal to maintain water & fire -proof characteristics, etc). Beside, they make a bolt-down model of this same safe.
Size, features and price; this was the best choice for me for a household safe.

Review 6 for First Alert 1.31-cu. ft. Fireproof and Waterproof Safe with Combination Lock
Haven't had it long, but so far it seems to exactly meet my needs. Everything works properly. Not to big or too small. I do wish I could have chosen my own combination, but this one works for me.

Review 11 for First Alert 1.31-cu. ft. Fireproof and Waterproof Safe with Combination Lock
In the item description it says " It is a 4 number combination lock safe that allows you to select and store your own personal combination number". After purchase and reading the information supplied with the safe which says the number is set and can not be changed. I called the company and asked if I had the wrong info, she informed that my info was correct and the ad was misleading. She was very helpful and gave me the number of the safe to get and be able to change the numbers.

Review 14 for First Alert 1.31-cu. ft. Fireproof and Waterproof Safe with Combination Lock
I was a little apprehensive at first when I picked up my safe. The box was much bigger than I had expected. Luckily the young lady at pick-up opened the box for me and showed me the larger size was due to packing. Also I was extremely lucky the young man that took the safe out to my car could lift it into my back seat. I didn't realize it weighed 100 lbs. Anyway, I am very happy with my new safe. It turned out to be just the size that was listed on the web site so it fit perfectly where I intended to put it. It is extremely sturdy. Luckily the keys work because I haven't figured out how to open it with the combination as yet. I'm sure it's just me not following the instructions exactly as printed. I was impressed with the amount of space inside.

this safe is an overall great product and the key over ride is a plus.you don"t have to worry if you need to get in the safe in a hurry just use the key and there"s enough space inside to hold a lot of stuff. So for the price you can"t go wrong.

Instructions at firstalert.com are much clearer, especially for the combination. Had trouble first time around opening the door until I went to the website and found that it's vacuum sealed. After that, no problem. I passed on the digital because batteries need to be replaced about every 6 months and I didn't want to deal with it since it has the combo plus two keys. If I was in and out a lot, I'd opt for the digital version, though. The packaging around the safe was solid and about as good as one could get it. The box had good stiff cardboard. But the outer box at the top seal was a mess: looks like someone sealed it, then opened it, then resealed with a lousy taping job. The customer service guy at Walmart did a nice job and very helpful. Spent much time finding me a special cart to lug the thing out to my try.
