I have three of the coolers you mentioned. Actually I only have two now. I sold one of the cigar ones to BooBar last week.
One I use for drinks on the back porch, the other sits by my desk full of cigars.
Here's the for sale thread from when I was selling them.
The whole back of the unit is the evaporator plate. I had to add fans to dry the plate when the compressor kicks on. I plugged the drain, added drawers, and 40 ounces of beads.
It stays at 70 degrees and 64% constantly.
The one I use for drinks I had to add fans, too. The back ices up and the fans circulate the cold. My drinks stay incredibly cold, right at the almost freezing point.
They are way bigger than vinos, by a longshot.
They require mods to make them work for you. If you're not handy with that sirta stuff, go for a vino or edgestar cause the brothers here make stuff to support those couple models.
If you're handy, you can use anything.
I'm gonna do a giant Mistic BevAir cooler next.
I should mention there's threads at the old place that show all the pics of the mods I made, and how I built the drawers. I have to go plant flowers or I'd look them up for ya.
