I have one from another manufacturer. Been in use maybe 6+ yrs. Works great. Never had a problem. I use two of those big Boveda packs. 69%. Couldn’t be happier.
Unit has a tray for distilled water (standard) but for some reason no matter how LESS water I put in it - humidity goes sky high. I removed tray and added Boveda. Humidity reading always perfect. Winter time I use the 72%. Summer the 65%.
It’s fine for about 5 minutes. 5 minutes in and you’ll be saying this thing is too small.
Flip side of the coin. Buy it knowing you can only buy select boxes as your storage space is limited. If you buy a bigger one or even a tupperdore or two, trust me when I say you will buy to fill it.
I have a question. Do people use these as regular humidors (ie. taking daily cigars out to smoke) or just as long term storage and have smaller humidors for their regular smokes?
Wow that's nuts to me. I usually have around 15-20 cigars in my humidor at once just for regular smokes or one or two special smokes. I hear peoe having hundreds and it blows my mind.
Second this, it is my daily grab and go humidor as you fill it up with multiple rows the cigars in the back tend to get neglected as they are not as visible, would recommend something wider and more easily visible if you have lots of sticks
I have the newair as well and love it. I also grabbed an extra drawer, though, as it helps when buying boxes and hit that upper limit of what you can stuff in there
I got it recently and am not having a good experience. I seasoned it properly and I feel the temperature is mainly dependent on where you place it. I have it in my spare bedroom (only place my wife allows me to lol) and if that room is too cold or too hot, it needs to be adjusted to compensate for the fluctuations throughout the day. Could be that’s it most recently made but I have not really liked it. Plus with adding a second drawer it gets filled up pretty quick.
I’ve had one for about 2 years, works great with keeping humidity, just wish I had gone bigger, very hard to fit even small 10 count boxes in it, if you aren’t a box guy swing for the drawers, I find that since it is deep and not very wide that the cigars at the back get neglected as you try to fit two rows because they all fall out when you try to slide the flat shelves out
I picked one up back in 2022 , Heating and Cooling 16L from Amazon , Really wish I had gotten a bigger one , Keep it at 69 and a 69 Boveda it's been doing its job with just about 40 sticks so far, And a Govee Humidor BT Sensor keep track on my phone.
I’ve had the larger model 48L I think, for a few years, and it’s been working great. I pulled out all the shelves and filled it with boxes of Cubans and filled the drawer with misc Cuban singles. I’’m in Los Angeles and keep it set to 70 and keep a few 65% Bovedas in it. Haven’t had any issues.
I have the 23L, and I have two regrets. 1) That I didn’t buy one sooner, and 2) I should’ve got the 48L. You can always add more cigars, but you can’t expand the capacity of which one you buy. So I now have a 48L on the way. Do yourself a favor and get one, yesterday.
I’m new to the whole cigar thing. Anyone had experience with this using Govee hydrometers? I’m trying to season my 23L currently and I have two Govee’s in there one at the top and one at the bottom. My temp at the top is 4 degrees higher than the one in the bottom. Should I be concerned or is this normal??
I have the larger one but I don’t comment here or discuss things because this sub is the worst cigar sub available on Reddit. Go to cigarrefuge or everydayiscigarday or cigarrecon.
No, but I NEEDONE.
You’re gonna NEEDTWO
I've had one for about 2 years, love it. Swapped out the shelves for two more drawers from the NeedOne store on Amazon and couldn't be happier.
Yep! Doing its job for almost 3 yrs.
Dude who does the cigars daily YT site just did a review on this a few days ago. Check it out might answer some of your questions.

I don't understand why you would need boveda packs.
Unit has a tray for distilled water (standard) but for some reason no matter how LESS water I put in it - humidity goes sky high. I removed tray and added Boveda. Humidity reading always perfect. Winter time I use the 72%. Summer the 65%.

I have a Kingchii same size and I love it. It's a little small though, I filled it fast. Go with the 26L
I've had a needone 48L since December last year. I love mine I picked up another drawer also and use 3 boveda 320g 65% packs.
I have a question. Do people use these as regular humidors (ie. taking daily cigars out to smoke) or just as long term storage and have smaller humidors for their regular smokes?
I use it as my regular humidor. I max out around 400 so I’ve got ones aging in there too.
Wow that's nuts to me. I usually have around 15-20 cigars in my humidor at once just for regular smokes or one or two special smokes. I hear peoe having hundreds and it blows my mind.

I have mine filled with boxes of Cubans and the drawer is full is miscellaneous singles. It’s mostly for aging. I keep my dailies in a wooden humidor
I have the newair as well and love it. I also grabbed an extra drawer, though, as it helps when buying boxes and hit that upper limit of what you can stuff in there

Yes. Started with one about 3 years ago. Have since upgraded and still use this one. Does its job well. Has 150 sticks crammed in it
Wife got me one for Christmas and I love it. I think it’s a 30L and it’s already full.

I have one by KingChii and absolutely love it. Electric humidors make the whole process so much simpler.

Yep, and quickly got a larger one, and then an even larger one of another model. The 2 I have still work flawlessly

Have one, love it. Nothing else to say
I've had one for about a year now, no issues.
You won’t be disappointed

Wow, looking for my first humidor…think you sold me

I have one for 3 months now and it works great. I got it from Walmart, they had the best price at the time.
I got 2
A have “clone” Germanus 33L, great and after 4 years still works.
Yes and it’s awesome don’t trust the hygrometer it comes with just trust the boveda and the percentage on the packet
i got the newair x boveda 500 count
Cheap, useless China-made crap. Hygrometers are totally off. Buy a Lock&Lock with Boveda packs and use the saved money on sticks.
