I purchased this small wine cooler to convert into a cigar humidor. So far (it's been about 4 weeks), the unit is working as advertised. The door seal is tight (the humidity holds very steady) and it seems to be a reasonably well constructed unit. The temperature controls are a little difficult to use, but not a show stopper. Once you set the temperature, you don't change it anyway. And it holds the temperature I want (it will not raise the temperature if my room is cooler than 66, but it keeps the temperature steady at 66 when the room gets warmer). Not too noisy, a low hum. The shelves are a little strange, but they were designed for wine bottles, not cigar boxes. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. A nice unit for the price.
