Hard to argue with this. I have a Staebell humi and the active humidification system works great.

The guys at Avallo have some nice systems as well. I know guys with them that are very happy with the performance.

Both systems are a bit over your budget. You only have to do this once if you get it right....IMHO it's worth spending a little more now to get years of hassle free humidification.

I don't use active humidification in my cabinet and don't seem to have any problems. Just 65% beads spread throughout and holds pretty solid. Have to add much more water during the winter, but still go through less than a gallon a year.

I have the Avallo Accumonitor system, and while it has performed flawlessly, the build quality is terrible. It looks like it was cobbled together in someones garage. Of course, you don't notice it much when the humi is full of cigars.

I gotta agree with NFH, spend a little extra now and you won't regret it later.

Me too but I did not make the suggestion due to the $200 budget since the Aristocrat exceeds it by about 50% but it certainly would be the better choice.

Thank you for the responses guys!

Ill investigate those options. The issue is getting the wife to buy in... thats a hard sell! lol

I had a Hydra LG in my cabinet at first. The buzzer went off all the time to the point I just unplugged it and realized the beads would hold the humidity without the active humidification. I cannot speak on experience with and Avallo or 'Set and Forget' system, I am sure they are much more reliable and efficient.

You are correct in your assumption
