XDeer Wireless Charging Biometric Safe Review: Nightstand Safe
The XDeer Wireless Charging Biometric Safe is a bedside handgun box that tries to do two jobs at once: lock up a pistol and act as a charging pad and clock on your nightstand. Access comes from a fingerprint reader plus code and key options, and the top surface includes a wireless charger and a USB port, according to the seller. It makes sense for someone who wants to clear clutter from the nightstand and wants an electronic box with a status display. It is less suitable if you want a simple, no-power mechanical box, a fire-rated container, or a safe small enough to slip into a backpack. This review draws on the listing, the seller’s feature list and general safe-storage knowledge, not on owning the product.
Bottom line:
- Good fit: a nightstand safe that doubles as a phone charger and clock.
- Check first: that your handgun clears a 3.43-inch interior height, and how the box is powered.
- Skip it if: you want a no-electronics design, a documented fire rating or a travel-sized box.
At the time of writing it sat in the $100 to $200 range. Prices shift, so check today’s price on Amazon before buying. If you are still shopping across styles, start with our best gun safes overview.

Access and lock
The seller says there are three unlocking methods, and quotes a response time of 0.1 seconds for the fingerprint reader along with published false-acceptance and false-rejection targets. Treat those as the manufacturer’s own figures. The spec sheet lists four lock types, namely biometric, electronic combination, mechanical code and key, so read the manual to learn which three the unit really uses and how the mechanical code option works.
The fingerprint sensor is the everyday path. The keypad is the fallback when a finger is wet, dirty or poorly enrolled. The two included keys are the last resort, and they deserve a plan: one on a keyring that stays on you, one in a separate secured spot, and neither left on the nightstand. That split makes sense because a key stored beside the box makes the whole system pointless.
A detail the listing highlights is silent mode, activated by holding the number 4 key, which removes unlock sounds. In a shared bedroom, that is a practical touch. The interior LED light also comes on to help you see the contents in a dark room.
Build and security features
The seller describes a carbon steel body with a locking mechanism meant to prevent accidental opening, and the spec sheet lists alloy steel, scratch resistance, an alarm system and a sensor light. No steel gauge, bolt design or independent security certification is given in the facts we have. At 5.77 kg, the box is heavy enough to feel solid on a nightstand but light enough that it could be carried off if it is not anchored.
That is what the included steel security cable and expansion screws are for. The cable can loop around a bed frame or heavy furniture leg, and the screws can fix the base to a suitable surface. Either way, you improve the odds against a smash-and-grab theft. A cable is still a deterrent rather than a guarantee, so choose an anchor that cannot simply be lifted away.
The display is a distinguishing feature. The seller says it shows time, humidity, temperature, battery level and biometric lock status. Humidity and temperature readouts are useful in a bedroom or closet where moisture is a concern, though they are an information tool and not a rating of what the box can withstand. Nothing in the listing gives a fire or water protection claim, and the spec sheet notes no such rating, so avoid storing irreplaceable paperwork on that assumption.
Interior and fit
The interior measures 12.8 inches deep, 9.45 inches wide and 3.43 inches high, for 0.09 cubic feet. The depth suits most full-size and compact handguns laid flat. The height is the constraint. A handgun with an optic, weapon light or extended magazine may clear 3.43 inches only barely or not at all, so measure your own handgun at its tallest point and subtract room for any lining.
The seller lists jewelry, passports and cash as other valuables that can sit inside, which is a useful reminder that a bedside box often holds more than a handgun. That also means the space will be shared, and spare magazines or a second handgun will fill it quickly. Because the listing says nothing about removable trays or foam in the facts we have, check the photos for the lining and whether it can be changed.
Mounting and placement
Placement is about both access and security. On a nightstand, the box should sit where you can reach the fingerprint pad with your natural hand, ideally without moving the box. The wireless charging pad changes that math: you are likely to leave a phone on top every night, so the box stays in a fixed spot and the cable and adapter need a nearby outlet.
For anchoring, use the cable if you cannot drill, and the expansion screws if the surface allows it. Read the manual for the recommended method, since the right choice depends on whether the box rests on wood, laminate or carpet. Do not place it in direct sun or beside a heat source, and keep it away from damp areas.
On the legal side, laws on firearm storage and child access prevention vary by state, so check yours.
Power and batteries
This is a powered box in more ways than one. The package includes an adapter and a data line, and the display reports battery level, so it appears to combine an internal battery with an external feed. The facts we have do not say what battery type it uses, how long it lasts or whether the wireless charger works when the unit is unplugged, so confirm those points in the manual and the Q&A section.
Wireless charging adds a second consideration. The seller describes a 15W charging pad with a USB output, and says the pad is FCC-certified, but charging speed depends on your phone, your case and your charger. Metal cases, thick covers and misaligned phones can all slow or stop charging, so do not assume it will match a dedicated charger.
Whatever the details, keep a backup plan. Know how the low-battery alert behaves, check the display now and then, and confirm that a key opens the box if the electronics fail.
What owners say
No owner feedback summary was available for this model when we wrote this review, so we will not describe common themes. To judge it yourself, read the most recent Amazon reviews for comments on fingerprint reliability, the quality of the wireless charging, the brightness and readability of the display, and how loud or quiet the unit is in silent mode. Look for mentions of tall handguns fitting, adapter and cable quality, and how the seller handled any problems. A repeated pattern across several recent buyers is more trustworthy than a single comment.

- Display with time, temperature, humidity and battery level.
- Cable, screws, two keys and a screwdriver included.
- Interior sensor light for dark rooms.

How it compares
If you only want a lightweight travel case, the Vaultek LifePod 20 is a polymer case with a keypad and backup key. It lacks the nightstand features here, and our Vaultek LifePod 20 review explains the differences.
For a no-battery approach, the StopBox USA uses a mechanical combination with user-set patterns, covered in our StopBox USA review. The Hornady RAPiD Safe RFID review covers a wristband-or-tag design with a spring-assisted lid, and the Hornady RAPiD Safe Keypad Vault review looks at a keypad and RFID model with a thicker steel lid.

Final verdict
The XDeer is a feature-heavy bedside box that earns its keep if you value a charging pad, a clock and a status display along with fingerprint access. The things to settle before ordering are the interior height, the power arrangement and which lock methods the manual actually lists. If those line up, it is a sensible nightstand option in its price range. If you prefer simplicity or need protection against fire, compare other models in our best gun safe guide.
XDeer Wireless Charging Biometric Safe FAQ
Does the XDeer safe charge a phone wirelessly?
The seller describes a 15W wireless charging pad plus one USB output on the box. Actual charging speed depends on your phone, case and alignment, and the listing does not explain whether it works when the unit is unplugged. Check the manual and Q&A before relying on it.
Will my handgun fit in the XDeer Wireless Charging Biometric Safe?
The interior is listed at 12.8 inches deep, 9.45 inches wide and 3.43 inches high. Depth suits most handguns laid flat, but height is tight for models with optics, lights or extended magazines. Measure your handgun at its tallest point before buying.
How is the XDeer safe powered?
The box includes an adapter and a data line, and the display shows battery level, but the listing facts do not state the battery type or runtime. Confirm the power arrangement in the manual, and make sure a key opens the safe if the electronics fail.
How do I mount the XDeer biometric safe?
The listing shows a floor mount, with a steel security cable, two expansion screws and a hex screwdriver included. You can anchor the cable to a fixed object or screw the base down to a suitable surface. Follow the manual for the recommended method.
What if the fingerprint reader fails?
The product has other access options, including a keypad code and two physical keys, though the manual should confirm exactly which methods apply. Store the keys away from the nightstand and out of children’s reach, and practice each method so a failed scan is not a surprise.
