Humidity Adjustable from 65%-75%

65% is the highest I like and prefer most sticks at 62-63% And I hope no one is storing theirs at 75%. Nice looking humi though!

But worse yet, I want to say you can only set it at 65, 70 or 75% and nothing in between. There was a thread about this unit somewhere else (can't remember where) and someone that owned one said this. If you are interested in buying, I would ask the manufacturer and make sure.

yeah man looks great but think you lose a lot of space due to the angled shelves. Think its great show piece but for that kind of cash think an avallo 2000 suit me better

i have tried to get the details of the humidification in this cabinet with no success. I can buy these direct from China, and sell them for a lot less, but have decided not too. Nobody can give me a straight answer on the humidification.

I wanted to add some more comments about this cabinet.

First, regarding humidification. As I said previously, nobody knows anything about the humidification. There are no details. If it was an Accumonitor or Set and Forget, then at least you would know what you are getting. Its not a Hydra or Cigar oasis either, so again, you are not buying something with a name or reputation. A humidifiers performance will rely on its sensor. Is it using a good sensor? is the hygrometer accurate? is it recalibratable? I think there are too many questions to trust this thing.

What is the warranty? can the cooling unit be replaced easily? Is the cooling accurate.

What about drainage? you guys with wine fridges know that you have to deal with condensation. Has the manufacturer of this humidor even thought about that?

Will you need too add beads?

I just think that there are too many unknowns for the price.

I think you are way better off getting a deal on a big wine fridge, and setting it up correctly based on the advice of those who have successfully converted wine fridges.

Not to mention above all that has been said the drawers are single stick height so for storing single sticks there would be a ton of wasted space.

Don't like the angled shelves either can't shoe horn in enough.
This!

I can't find a whole picture of mine but I have an Aristocraft M+ cabinet and LOVE it. Not only does it keep my RH at a constant level but it gets comments from people that don't even know its a humidor that it's a beautiful piece of furniture.

Cabinets FTW
