Rank #4 in Best Safe 2026: The Box Weighs 1.87kg
CDC DIGI 6.6L Digital Steel Safe with Keypad and Two Keys
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CDC 6.6L is a digital steel safe measuring 23 x 17 x 17cm for £25.99, with 4.3 stars from 4,245 ratings, a keypad, two backup keys and expansion bolts.
It takes fourth because of the contradiction in its own listing: the special features field says Portable, which is the most honest description of a 6.6-litre box in this category — and the reason the bolts matter more than the steel.
How those 4,245 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.

Questions people ask
What does Portable mean here?
It is the listing's own special-features entry for a 6.6-litre steel safe: a box this size can be picked up and taken.
Should I use the bolts?
Yes: they are the only thing preventing the whole safe from leaving, which is why they are supplied.
What fits inside?
Documents, a passport and cash, on one shelf inside 6.6 litres.
Is it fireproof?
No, and the listing does not claim it is.
Why is it fourth?
Because the evidence is good but the product's own description says portable, and 8 per cent of its ratings are one-star.
How many ratings does it have?
4245 at the time of collection, averaging 4.3 stars, with 67 per cent five-star and 8 per cent one-star.
