250 Count Electric Cigar Humidor Box | Cigar Cooler Cabinet with Opti-Temp™ Heating & Cooling | Digital Temperature Controls, Spanish Cedar Shelves, and Locking Glass Door | Stainless Steel

overall: It's great and I am extremely happy with the purchase. I've only had this for about a week now and it works like a champ. My main driver for purchasing this was to have something that keeps a consistent humidity without boveda packs. So far its rock solid on that front. Secondly it was for space and it doesnt disappoint there either. It has a nice cedar scent to it and looks/feels like a quality machine(not cheap.) Assembly: There wasn't much to assemble aside from attaching the door handle and the front grill at the bottom. Attaching the door handle was pretty simple though I somehow managed to screw it up. you peel back the gasket seal, feed the bolts in from the back and attach the door handle. It came with white plastic spacers in the hardware bag but I never saw a step explaining what to do with them. I assumed you put them over the bolt and then tightened the bolt and spacer into the door handle from the back side of the door. Well I did that but I must have over-tightened because the screws were fully seated and the handle was very loose. I happened to have some M4 nuts from another project and they threaded on perfectly to the provided bolts. I use these to MacGyver it by putting two m4 nuts on each door bolt which acted like additional spacers. These had the added benefit that I could lock them in to place any where on the bolt by tightening the nuts against each other. I tightened it all down being careful to not overtighten to where it might break anything and the loose door handle problem was fixed. Noise: It's similar to a small fridge in that it cycles on and off regularly to keep conditions perfect inside. Expect it to make some noise. It's not like a commercial refrigerator but maybe like a little dorm fridge as far as the compressor goes. It also has a little water pump in it that seems like its constantly doing its thing. I had it in the bedroom (mainly since its the room with the least outdoor light) and it was annoying listening to the pump at night. The compressor wasn't too bad but that pump was too much for me . I ended up moving the humidor to a different area of the bedroom and its better. I also have a fan for white noise. The LEDs for temp/humidity are fairly bright for a bedroom at night so I plan to cover them with cutouts of red colored gel light filter film soon. That should help, without completely blocking the LEDs. You need to see them to see current temp/humidity and to set temp/humidity. Features of note: Humidity: set by a button inside at the top (you can kind of see in the humidor picture). It constantly adjusting the humidity in a very tight range(see other picture of the graph from a govee sensor) I started off high set at 72(the red line) to give it a boost of humidity while seasoning and then stocking it. Then slowly turned it down to 69, then 68, then finally settling at 67%. Temp: Also keeps it very close to the set point with tight variance( see other image)I've had that set at 65 degrees and it stays between 64.8 and 65.7. Solid Space: This thing is very spacious, no complaints at all. Filling it is going to be fun Other stuff: The LED lights are a nice touch but I wish they'd stay on just a tad longer. I had to leave the door open to get a picture of them because they'd shut off before the camera could get a shot, if that gives an idea of how short the delay is. Shelves are on ball bearing sliders, what you would see in a piece of furniture and easily slide in and out Filling the water reservoir is tricky (maybe a complaint.) There is a reservoir inside on the bottom. The max fill indicator is impossible to see unless you either take the bottom shelf out (it can be done just like the ball bearing sliders in most furniture drawers, these have a little lock release tab) or you extend both the bottom and the second from the bottom shelf out all the way, then you can see the max fill indicator. In the first week, while migrating cigars from a whyneter Humidor and while also adding newly purchased cigars, I have had to refill the reservoir once. Technically it was only half way down so I didn't "need to," but I did so anyhow since I had the reservoir exposed to check it. I use a measuring 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup to add distilled water, mainly since it has a nice pour spout, as to not spill water all over.. The need to refill will probably slow down once things are stable and I stop adding cigars. If you decide to get one of these remember don't use tap water, use distilled.

The NewAir 1500 humidor is an outstanding product that will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. (It did mine) This impressive humidor offers a massive storage capacity that can easily accommodate a butt-load of cigars, making it perfect for both cigar enthusiasts and collectors alike. One of the most notable features of the NewAir 1500 humidor I have noticed so far is its ability to maintain a very consistent temperature and humidity level. This is due to the thermoelectric cooling AND HEATING (not based on ambient temperatures) system work in conjunction with the built-in humidification system to regulate the internal environment of the humidor. This means my cigars will always be stored in near perfect conditions, allowing them to age gracefully and develop their full flavor potential. In addition to its impressive, easy to use functionality, the NewAir 1500 humidor also boasts a modern design that will complement any décor or man-cave. The black finish and tempered glass door provide an elegant and sophisticated look that is sure to impress your guests. It is however designed to be installed in/under a cabinet. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of this humidor is its massive size. With dimensions of 34”(H) x 24” (W) x 24”(D), the NewAir 1500 humidor offers an enormous amount of storage space that is perfect for serious cigar collectors. You'll be able to store a vast array of cigar sizes and styles, ensuring that you always have the perfect cigar on hand for any occasion.

It is an investment for sure but with its consistent temperature and humidity control, massive size, and stunning design, this humidor is sure to become the centerpiece of any cigar room or collection. Highly recommended. Will update as needed! Arrived Feb. 19th, Seasoned & plugged in Feb 24th ....

This thing is absolute junk. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I properly seasoned the unit for two weeks, with the RH holding around 78% for a few days. At that point I switched the 84% Bovedas for (5) 320g 69% Bovedas. Humidity dropped to 72% and held there. I added my cigars and RH remained stable. Upon plugging the humidor in, the humidity dropped like a rock to 49%. It fluctuates between 45% and 60% as long as it is plugged in and running. If I unplug it, it goes back up to 72%. Bottom line, this unit will force the humidity out, and is just plain unsuitable for storing cigars. Worst part about it is that due to the time spent seasoning and tinkering to get it to stabilize, I am now past my return window. Do not buy this piece of junk. PS: I almost forgot to mention that it arrived damaged. The Boveda holders that slide under the shelves were all destroyed. I had to repair with staples. I'm not usually one to complain, but this is one of the absolute worst purchases I have ever made in my life.

Very impressed so far. Had it for a little over a month now. Obviously, it's not going to hold 1500 of your average cigars. Especially not with the low walls the drawers have on them. But I bought some Spanish cedar boards here on Amazon and cut them to size and glued them to the sides of the drawers where I needed more height on the sides and that greatly increased holding capacity. In most of these images I only had about 400 cigars in there. But since then I've added more and it's holding about 600+ right now with still more room. The great thing about this model vs the 800 is that you can fit multiple boxes of cigars on the 3 top shelves and even some smaller boxes on the bottom shelf, if you wanted. My guess is I could prob fit a good 850 regular sized Robusto and Toro size cigars in here (which are the 2 sizes I smoke). Seems to maintain humidity and temp perfectly. The water chamber is relatively small and you have to refill the water every 2-3 weeks, which is a little annoying. My last 400 ct humidor held more water and lasted a good 4-6 weeks. But otherwise I'm very impressed. I have this in my house, where we're always at about 70 deg temp. So I don't know how we'll it would do maintaining temp in cooler areas like a garage. But I'm very very happy with the unit. Particularly how many boxes and total cigars it can hold. This is prob the last humidor I'll ever need to have.

I'll start off by saying that I have only had the Newair 1500 for 3 days. It only took 2 days for it to settle at my desired 67F and 65% RH desired settings with very little fluctuation. I then added a few boxes of cigars and so far so good it holds to those setting very well. So there is GOOD and the BAD(for me) : The GOOD: Overall from a functional perspective (so far) I think the device works great. It is accurate enough for me (only 1-2 Degrees Temp variation from my setpoint, and 4-5% variation in RH from top shelf to bottom drawer which is 62% RH for top shelf and 66% RH at bottom drawer which for me is just fine. I verified these numbers using Cigar Oasis IVs that were pre-calibrated twice using 75% Boveda calibration kits so I know they are accurate and placed one on on each shelf). I read reviews about the unit being really noisy, with clanking, gurgling etc...but mine is certainly not. It's pretty quiet and does have an audible humming sound when the compressor runs but I barely notice it. The shelves, and the lights are fantastic and work brilliantly. Now the water. Well IMHO it is very easy to fill and when I pull out the bottom tray I look at the water tray and mine does have a MAX Fill water mark not to fill past...so the whole process seems pretty easy to me. The BAD: Hopefully you do not run into these issues but I did to my disappointment...but I got over them after a few hours of swearing and sweating lol: 1) Like a few other reviews I had read about receiving unit with damage...well mine came with damage. (sorry no pic right now) but one rear corner had about a 4 inch long and 1 inch dent in the corner of the unit. It would take a lot of force to dent the 90 degree corner like that. The box it came in had zero damage to it in that area...sooo...that tells me some idiot at the factory boxed up and shipped out a damaged unit. The issue too is that to get the unit out of the box you need to slice all 4 corners of the box...so by the time I saw the damage my box was all in pieces. Normally (if I lived in the US ) I would have shipped it back and requested a new one. But I live in the Caribbean and havd it shipped to me from Miami via a freight forwarder. The cost for me to ship it back would be at least $500-700...so not an option that makes sense. But by fortunate coincidence that dented corner was the corner going in towards an adjacent wall..so now I can't even see the damage. Just the initial anxiety of wondering whether anything critical inside was damaged with the dent. But overall...disappointed that the factory would ship up a dented unit like that. Grrrrrr 2) My water reservoir tray came cracked in the bottom and leaked immediately. I started up the unit after 5 min noticed water dripping from the door...opened the unit and with the aid of a flashlight saw the dripping. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...So I removerd the 3rd shelf got out a #2 Phillips screwdriver and with 3 screws removed the water reservoir tray. This is the second water try on the left side of the unit that is fed from the one that you first pour water into. (sorry again no pic) The tray looked like it had been melted or something in the middle and was leaking. Again because of my situation and wanting to get my unit up and running I ran down to a hardware store, picked up some marine epoxy putty and with a tiny piece plugged the tray from underneath (not where the water sits), waited an hour...and presto water reservoir water leak fixed. So my only two complaints are quality control related...nothing to do with what the unit does for my cigar. My hope (fingers crossed) is I run into know other issues and the device last a long time. Time will tell. Other than that I feel it is a great and worth it for the $1399 I spent on it (minus the swearing and work I had to do initially ) lol

I have had this humidor for a few weeks now and am very impressed by it. Holds humidity and temperature very well and is big enough to hold a pretty nice sized cigar collection. The trays with the modular peg system are really nice for organizing cigars. The boveda slots under the shelves does limit how high you can stack cigars(2 high, maybe 3 if they are thinner ring gauge) and the height of boxes that can fit on the shelves, but I think the convenience of it outweighs the loss of stacking. It is a Very quiet unit as well, especially compared to the smaller 250 count size. On this one, the fan does not constantly run, but instead only kicks on in intervals, which means it is dead silent almost all of the time I currently have about 200 cigars in the humidor and they fit comfortably and definitely would have room for more. I would guess by about the 300 mark it would start to get pretty crammed tho. It is a slightly large unit, about the size of a small to medium wine fridge, but definitely not too big to where you would need to rearrange a room to fit it. I originally bought the smaller newair model(250 count I think). Returned it and bought this one the day after it arrived, and I am very happy with my decision to do so. If you are at all debating about the size, I would just pay the bit extra and get this one.

This product arrived with a broken glass door. Amazon quickly replaced it. New unit: The setup after allowing it to sit for 24 hours was not too difficult. Attaching the door handle took a bit of looking as you need to remove a section of the door seal to attach the door handle but the seal pops right back in. The fill for the humidor is a bit trying. It is best to use a funnel to add distilled water to it. There is no fill gauge on the tank and you cannot see the water without using a small light. The temperature and humidity setting was very easy. Once setup it took about 2 full days to begin to level off and after 5 days it does not fluctuate very much. The humidity and temperature gauge seems to be pretty accurate. A small fluctuation in temp and humidity is normal. New cigars and older ones added to the drawers and after a short amount of time (15 days) all seem to be very nice when removed. The lights are so nice, very bright and come on when door is opened. Go off when door is close. This allows you to find your stick easily. The unit is pretty quiet. Does not make much noise at all. This was a very good purchase for us and a very good value for the money if you have many sticks that require a large humidor.

So I purchased this unit thinking this was the newest model out and it would actually do what it says it will do.. which is control the temps and keep humidity consistent. So far this unit does neither. I bought the Newair Nch250ss00 which they say is the newest model with the newest technology. I plugged it in and let it run for 1 week straight (7 days). The first 4 to 5 days the humidy would get to about 80 to 90% and wouldn't ever come down, so I removed the distilled water i set inside the unit to season the wood just to see what it would do. It dropped to about 79 and 80. Im thinking.. still with no water in it at all? How can this be. Theres nothing to cause humidity. Also I was watching the temps the whole time and I had to mess with it a few times since it was still to cold. I set it at the highest setting which is 74. The unit display was saying 71/72 and a dual internal hydrometer and temp guage I used to check the validity of the unit shows 68? I say that's to much of a variance. Given the cost of the unit I would think you're paying for quality and reliability but I guess not. So thinking something is seriously wrong I call their customer serv and after a few minutes of non sense I hung up. All the girl kept saying is that there would be a difference due to ambient tempatures. I say they need to go back to school because that math doesn't add up chief. If my home AC is set around 71 and keeps my house betweens 70 to 71... and the outside temps where I live have been in the mid to high 70's why in the world would I need to kick my heat on to bring temps up on my humidor? Now what kind of sense does that make? .. so needless to say I'm not to thrilled with their cust serv skills nor their product at this point. So after all said and done I decided to call Amazon customer serv and just as always they go above and beyond and will replace the product which came in like 3 days... Super fast in my book.. and due to that reason I'm giving it another try and see if was indeed a defective unit. I'm giving this a rating of 2 only because Amazon came through as they always do. Newair needs to take note on how Amazon does things to make the customer happy. I plan on running this new unit for a week just like the last one and I'll give an update review later on. Wish me luck!
