I think the temp has a lot to do with it

If your vino isn't on, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to hold at any rh you want. Unless you want it at 53 rh, then your seal is crappy.

Another problem with this hobby is we tend to dwell on the negative (troubles) rather than the positive. More often than not, people post in search of help to problems. Although there are positive reviews and discussions throughout the forum, a lot of time is spend debating the troubles people are having and how others solved a similar problem. This lopsided information often tends to paint a negative picture of (insert whatever topic you wish). Sure there are those who have success, they tend to be the ones offering suggestions to those having trouble. They don’t however often start new topics like "My product rocks and is perfect". My experience with my wine coolers is people are trying way too hard to create the perfect humidor. Mine are only plugged in for a few months out of the year. They have sufficient beads, and I accept the fact they are what they are, wine coolers with cigars in them. I monitor them and smoke cigars from them daily. For me they offer a large area to store cigars that the wife is not ashamed to have sitting in the kitchen.

Not sure she would be cool with 3 white Rubbermaid coolers stacked next to the microwave.

Well said.

I haven't found the allure of Vinos yet, especially when considering how inexpensive and effective a 120qt cooler is.
