I asked my parents to be very generous and get me a Edgestar for Christmas. I figured since I am spoiling them, maybe they can spoil me. Anyhow, even tho I highly doubt I will get my wish, I have already put money aside for ordering one if I don't get my wish.

So. What size Oasis do you all use for your 28 Bottle Edgestars? I was looking at the Oasis XL. Just wondering if this would be sufficient for the space.

Suggest Beads over Oasis for the cooler. I have Shilala Beads in my Edgestar and they work great.

Too small for active. Beads and you'll be fine. :-)

I've got 2 lbs of 65% Heartfelt beads in my 28 bottle Edgestar and it's rock solid. I couldn't ask for a more maintenance free setup.
[Reply]

Yeah. I use 1.5 lbs of beads.

You could use an oasis but its more trouble than it is worth.

Shilala beads have been rocking my Edgestar 28 and keeping it rock solid at 64%/62 for over six months. :-)

Unanimity is your friend.

Okay. I will probably go with beads then. I will be using Heartfelt.

So I'll probably order 2 pounds of beads then. Should I get 2 of the 1 pound bags or 4 of the half pound bags and scatter them around?

I actually just went and looked because i forgot that i took out one of my 1/2 lb bags so im running with only one lb and its at 66%

Id say go with smaller bags so you can have more control.

Are you using 65 or 70 beads?
[Reply]

The ones in there are 70
[Reply]

2lbs shilala per vino just my take
[Reply]

I've got about 1.5 lbs of 65% Heartfelt beads split up throughout mine. Works great. Some in bags, some in tubes. Pretty much whatever I had available.
