Been rocking this humidor since last, last winter (2022) and gave it a good few months of use before deciding to drop a review. Pretty much, I'm digging it (giving it a solid 4.5 stars). After messing around a bit and getting the hygrometer recalibrated, it's been doing its job nicely. I've got a few digital hygrometers I trust scattered inside to keep an eye on the Remington's accuracy.
Here's the breakdown of what's hot and what's not:
Pros:
This thing's airtight – humidity doesn't stand a chance of escaping.
Loads of room for your stash.
The electronic (LED) display is sleek.
Comes with a humidifier, plus heating and cooling features.
It's straight-up gorgeous, like, it seriously dresses up a room.
Cons:
The electronic humidification system is decent but could use some tweaking.
The spot for the water tank is kinda awkward.
I've noticed it chills out better in the winter. Come summer in the Midwest, and it's a bit of a rollercoaster with the humidity and temperature, thanks to my thermostat playing yo-yo to save on bills (and my wallet). The unit works overtime to keep things steady at my set temp (68F-70F). Winter's more chill since the house and humidor temps are more in sync. Wrapping up, the humidification system could be tighter, but it's a step up from what I had before and keeps my sizeable collection in tip-top shape.
