Score: 78/100
Amazon Basics 1.8 Cu Ft Safe
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Honeywell 1103 is a portable, medium-sized fire and waterproof chest designed to protect documents and valuables from extreme heat and water damage. It features exceptional dual protection ratings but suffers from a small capacity and basic key lock security. It is best suited for users needing robust environmental protection for small items during floods or fires.
The Amazon Basics 1.8 Cu Ft Safe provides a substantial increase in storage capacity compared to its smaller counterpart, making it suitable for larger home office or household valuables. The main drawback is its weight and lack of environmental protection features like fire resistance. It is best suited for users who need a secure, stationary storage solution for bulkier items.
