Screwed

Got the new one on my doorstep this morning. Got it out, inspected it, everything looks great. Has all 4 feet, no scratches, dents, no weird staining on the door. Looks pristine! This one also had that identifiable "new smell" that the old one was missing. Very happy with this unit. I am now even more positive they must have sent me a used one the first go.

However, I have had it plugged in for 9 hours now on Full blast, cold as it will go, and it only gets to 57F... pretty crappy for a wine cooler, but then again, i'm not using it for wine. lol So, if you wanted to get one of these for wine, I wouldn't suggest it.

Anyway, i'll get some pictures up soon. Right now it's pretty empty, but I'm going to take my time making sure that once I start getting some shelving in it it gets seasoned up really good. I'm not planning to fill it with cigars for at least 3-4 weeks. Just wanna make sure everything is perfect.

That's the drawback to thermoelectric but perfect for cigars and most good wines are traditionally served above 57 degrees.

Let's see them pics!
