The unit does make more noise than expected. Mine makes an on again off again clicking noise. If you are watching tv in the same room it is an issue. When you fill it with cigars there is a big difference ( top to bottom )with both temperature and humidity. The biggest difference is with the humidity. The digital display is not accurate and should not be relied on. You will need a calibrated hygrometer. I bought this unit to keep my cigars in mint condition. I don't feel mint is the condition I will be able to meet. The unit looks good. It seals tight. The drawers operate great. Lights are awesome. However, the primary reason one buys a humidor it to keep the cigars at the proper temp and humidity.

Humidity was all over the place. I've used Boveda for years and it's been fine in keeping things stable, but when used in this unit it fluctuated from 95% -60%. Needless to say, some gunk started to form on the cigars. Really not worth the risk at all.

I wanted to love this unit. It seems well made but the humidity controls are way off. Stetting the unit to max humidity 75% yielded real humidity (verified hygrometers) of 62% or not enough to store my cigars. I worked with Newair hoping there was a way to reset the internal hygrometer but in 6 phone calls it never was revealed. They were aware of the issue so it must have been a bad batch. It happens. My beef with Newair is that when I tried to talk with anyone who knew about the product, I was told that they weren't available. The CS reps were nice but not knowledgable and as such were not helpful in the process. In the end, I sent the unit back (Keep the packaging) and was refunded. It's too bad because the unit is the perfect size for me.

As instructed, once arrived, I let it sit for 24hrs prior to turning it on. Once I did turn it on the next day, I spent the next 48hrs seasoning all the drawers via wiping them down with distilled water several times and running the unit on 75% humidity. Day 4, loaded all my sticks and I dropped the humidity level to 66% on the unit. I’ve noticed 4hrs in, all 3 of my calibrated hygrometers were reading 56% humidity. So, again I set the unit to max, 75% humidity and left it over night. Now all my hygrometers are reading 65/66%. Which is perfect, but there’s a 10% difference what the unit is reading and what the actual humidity is. Furthermore, the unit is constantly running. It’s turns off for about a minute and turns back on, as constantly trying to adjust temp or humidity. Not sure if the unit is faulty or they’re designed to work that way.
