Kitchen Safe Time Locking Container (Medium), Timed Lock Box for Cell Phones, Snacks, and other unwanted temptations (Blue Lid + 14 cm White Base with Access Port)

For me my main addiction is my phone, however I like how the product is so versatile that you can use it to store other items to which you are addicted. The following are my review points:Pros:1) It's large enough to store a good quantity of items (in my case I could store multiple devices in there)2) It's easy to use, just turn the knob to set the timer, click it to start the process (5 seconds) which allows you time to cancel it in case you've made any mistakes.3) The timer can go up to days as well!! Although I would probably just need it for a max of half a day :)4) It has a nice sleek design and has various colored tops, so at least it has an appeal factor on top of it's performance quality.5) One major thing I was really impressed with is that I found out you could remove the batteries whilst the box is locked, so I thought that this may be a huge potential flaw in the item but upon removing the batteries the box was still locked and when I put them back in the timer didnt reset, it simply resumed as if nothing happened. I'm very impressed with that.6) The box seems very durable, although I'm not stupid enough to pry it open or break the product which I've spent considerable money on xD, so I'm assuming if you accidentally dropped it it will remain intact.7) And finally, yes it has actually helped me reduce my iphone usage especially during evenings where I would spend hours and harm my sleep as a result, thus enabling me to engage in more value adding activities.Cons (potential recommendation points):1) Batteries as the power source. So that means you have to be well-stocked on batteries (although I'm not sure what the power consumption of the device is) which essentially means there is maintenance costs and time involved.2) There is no power-off button which I'm dissapointed in, I mean most devices (even battery powered ones) have an off-switch xD! So how I resolve that is by literally removing the batteries from the device to prevent unnecessary usage of the batteries when I'm not using it.3) Would love to see future models which can be recharged instead of relying on batteries. That would be great, would definitely invest in that, even if it's slightly priced higher.

I can't say how much this ksafe has helped me. I bought mine one over a year ago and its now become one of those things that I didn't realise I needed until I had it. I suffer from a nerve condition in my neck and it's allowed me to be so much more disciplined with my technology use by locking it away for a few hours so I don't over use it. The first thing worth pointing out it is how solidly built it is. the base is made from solid plastic and it fits/ locks to the lid perfectly. It's just as sturdy and solid now as it was a year ago. I'm not the best at looking after things and it's literally exactly the same as when I bought it, I've not even had to replace the batteries and I use it 2/3 times a day.The other thing about it is that you definitely can't open it once the timer has been set. I've literally tried EVERYTHING from taking the batteries out to attempting to reset it by pressing the the wheel for 20 secs. I had tried a lockbox from a different company before and the door would just fall open if the batteries fell out which annoyingly defeated the purpose of the whole thing.It's also really easy to use. As I find it difficult to press buttons, I am always hesitant before buying anything with buttons/settings incase it gives me pain but it's really easy to use and quite fun. You spin the wheel to the time you want it to open it and then press the wheel down., It then counts down from 5 to 0 before locking.Final thing worth mentioning - it's handy that the lid and base are seperate so you can take the lid off and wash the base seperately. This has probably saved me from ruining the lid as I'm a total slap dash washer-upper and there's no way I wouldn't have ruined the computer in the lid if I had to wash the base whilst the lid was stuck to it.I was racking my brain to think of any improvements but I literally can't think of any. It might be better if it was slightly cheaper, but then would it? I'd rather buy something sturdy that lasts way longer than a sub standard cheap alternative. They've clearly invested a good chunk of the product cost into making something good quality. My motto is you get what you pay for and I'm not wrong yet . . .

This product has changed my life .. I frequently lapse on the consumption of ... ANYTHING. I don't keep addictive medication or drugs in the house (for obvious reasons) but if I did, they would certainly be in my K-safe. I have 4 of them !!! I use them to regulate my access to codeine (for geniune back pain), food (and money) and alcohol. I have already lost a stack of weight. I have 4, because I lock away different things for different lengths of time. My willpower is best in the morning, so I buy my (healthy) food for the day then, put the food in the fridge and then lock away my purse till the next morning. I buy wine, which I put in a large Ksafe, and I set that for 9pm, when I have completed my days quota of study. Treats get rationed for 4 to 6 hourly intervals. My ipads (both mini AND new 9.7" pro) BOTH fit sideways in the big ones, so if I am procrastinating around studying, or home admin, I banish all devices. ANYTHING I can think of that I do compulsively can go into a KSafe. Including my wi-fi router. If I had a car, the keys would go in there too. I have put it in the fridge holding cheesecake for a treat at 9pm. I don't know of a compulsive behaviour my KSafe cannot solve. Yes, you can smash it open, but I would never do that. And yes, some spoiler reviewers have given ways of forcing the lock. I read them .. but Ksafes are incredibly well-designed, and if you DID try to employ lock-cracking techniques, you would seriously risk breaking it ... again .. something I would never do. Yes they are expensive, but they have already recouped their cost over and over on what I would spend on boozy benders, followed by HagenDaz binges. And being expensive, you are less likely to break them open. BUY one now and try. it is the BEST thing I ever ever bought on amazon.
