Just thought I'd share my excitement in buying this thing today! Gotta let it sit for 48 hrs before turning on the compressor. It'll be a LONG 48 hours!

Here's a Tip: Don't ever post an empty humi! :-)

Let's get him folks!

Oh NO NO you don't. I just haven't transfered stuff yet. Maybe I shoulda waited on the pics?! :-)

I thought the compressor-style wine fridges dried out the internal air too much? Is that incorrect?
[Reply]

wow... this is awesome. I can't wait to see it full!!!

One would most certainly need an external controller to regulate the temperature. Johnson's Controls seem to be widely adopted for these purposes.

Also, an active humidity system (Cigar Oasis, Hydra, whatever) should go a long way in a compressor unit.

Not as easy of a road as a thermoelectric unit, but not impossible, either.

Some of these have humidity control built in for their original purpose to not dry out the wine corks . :-) Looks nice and big . Good luck with it . And it sounds like you need to armor plate your mail box now !

look forward to seeing a full wine cooler, waiting to get my drawers from Chas before I post mine.

I'm not really worried about the condensing (yet) as it's the winter months and we keep our house at 70*. I'm more concerned with keeping humidity in there!

I bought it mostly for a larger central storage place to keep all my smokes...I have a couple desktops that are a full and need to be moved in. I figured it was big enough that I wouldn't outgrown it.

Also, for the price, I couldn't have gotten a humi this large...it was only $273 out the door! :-)

There. I fixed it for you.

[Reply]

Yes! Much better. Perhaps you used paper with too much texture! :-)
[Reply]

LOL that is awesome!

Fill 'er up!


I have contacted Chas a bunch of times with no success. Lucky you being able to get through! Nice!

Through here??

I just checked my in box for unread messages from you and found nothing.

If you tried on another site, I don't go anywhere else but here. If it was through the website, I never got that, the host blows and the renewal is up in 6 days and trust me at midnight that night I am transferring it.

Drop me a line I check in here almost daily, every 3 days when busy in the shop.

My best Mr. T voice - How did all this Jibber Jabber get in my thread fools!?! Take it outside!
[Reply]

Very nice!!!

During the winter I wouldn't worry about plugging it in!!!

I keep mine unplugged and it stays room temp! Beads will help keep the RH where you want it!:-)

Enjoy!!!:-)
