Re: Your Favorite Reliable Wineador to date?
Before I purchased an Aristocrat five years ago, I had a Haier set up. After I got the Aristocrat, the Haier was repurposed to holding wine. Imagine that. The Haier is probably around seven years old now and still going strong.

Re: Your Favorite Reliable Wineador to date?
If you go the wineador route, I'd just add beads and let her go.
I modified mine with a temperature control unit, and then used active humidification. It was a complete pain. The thing cycled constantly, humidity jumped all over the place, and I had condensate problems all the time. In retrospect I should have just gone with beads. There's a lot to be said for the KISS method. |

Re: Your Favorite Reliable Wineador to date?
yup, vino off, I keep my apartment in the upper 60's year round so I never have any issues with interior temp, but I do keep a digital thermo in there and keep a rough eye on it. I have used it for temp control before but I would get minor rh swings. right now my rh never goes more than +/-1 (according to the two hygros I have in there on the top and bottom shelves). Also had some custom shelves made that focus on airflow so that may help with the consistency. Used to have a couple fans rolling in intervals but I haven't noticed any negative effects since I stopped keeping up with battery changes.

I'm experimenting with a timer with the cooling going on and off every 15 min and I get a constant 67

You might want to reconsider -- your garage with 100 degree temps is probably not ideal storage for cigars. You would need a 24/7 cooling system and then you need to accommodate the swings in RH that will occur when the cooling unit is running.

Re: Your Favorite Reliable Wineador to date?
im no expert, but if you're battling exterior temps of 100* I would guess you would need the cooling widget going 24/7. I think the vino cooler thingy turns off once it hits the target and turns back on once you deviate a certain amount (presumably 1* but who knows). Don't know if that's how it works with all of em
