After weeks and weeks of searching for the right humidor, I landed on this one. I so badly wanted a glass top because they look SO nice but after all the online research and speaking with 2 store owners near my house, I chose to not go with it, and this thing is just as nice! Good quality build, holds moisture in and plenty of room for cigars! If you are looking to purchase a 25 count or so, ALWAYS GO BIGGER! You will start to think you won't have 100, but trust me, it will be more than 25! I started out looking at the small ones but took the advice of the other posts and went bigger, and I am glad I did! The other thing, I am sure it stated this somewhere but I didn't read, buy two of the 2oz gel packs. I have one in now and about 20 cigars, and it seems it will only hold around 70 for the humidity level. So, i picked up one more ("Ci-Gel Cigar Humidor Humidifier Gel, 2-Ounce") for 3 bucks, can't beat that! I opted to go the gel route rather than the distilled water in the top of the thing... I have had this humidor a little over a month now and it is still sitting pretty! As well, I just ordered a digital hygrometer so I am not screwing around with the salt test.... I am sure it is reading correctly but I just trust the digital more, or that is my excuse to get a little upgrade for my box.

So, to sum it up get this baby over a glass humidor, insert 2 of the humidor gels once around 30 or so cigars, and if you want, opt for the digital!

Updated after about a year and a half -

This is still a great humidor, and I am still glad I went with a larger size, maybe should have even gone larger but oh well.... Anyways, my previous review stated to get 2 gel containers for the humidity, which is needed, but I found a cheaper better alternative. I now just put 2 shot glasses filled with distilled water in the bottom and it keeps this thing at a solid 71% for humidity levels. I stopped buying the gel containers a while ago; they weren't expensive but everything adds up!

Product arrived intact and was well packed. The finish on the outside of the humidor is very well done. I suspect the "inlay" on top of the box is nothing more than a decal.

The hardware is made from plated castings that I would give a "B" quality grade.

The interior of the humidor is definitely Spanish cedar. The box seems to seal well with a slight rub when closing. This may change with seasoning. The joinery of the wood inside the box leaves much to be desired. Mitre joints are not perfect and there are spots of glue exposed on the surface from assembly. This is a B-" quality grade.

The Humidifier is of reasonable quality. It came with a magnetic mounting system which is a great idea. The adhesive used to attach the magnet to the humidifier would not hold the magnet a spot of glue fixed that issue.

The Hygrometer that came with the unit is total junk. Fell apart in my hand upon removal from the box. Very POOR quality. Grade "F-" I was planning on replacing it with a digital one anyway so this was not a big problem for me. I threw the original away and replaced it with one of these: Xikar Round Digital Hygrometer

On the upside, the humidor seasoned easily and seems to hold the humidity well enough.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I've never owned a humidor and can't compare it to anything else. For aesthetic purposes (which is mostly why I chose it) it is exactly what I wanted.

It seemed to season up well and the the hygrometer seems accurate based on the salt test. After 2 months of use it is holding humidity well and has been a great addition to the house!

Have severe allergies so we bought an air purifier with a UV light which helps attract airborne particles such as mold etc. and put in the bedroom. It has helped with reducing some of our allergy problems.

Buy Jasmine Essential Oil Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser

Customer Ratings:

This is perfect for bedside use. It's virtually silent, it gives a great falling asleep experience with only three drops of oil, it's easy to clean, and it looks cool.

I've tried many other options over the years. A mini crockpot (ineffective at diffusing aroma, uses a lot of oil), a thermal diffuser with the little pads (have to keep buying pads, inefficient at dispersing aroma), and a popular fairly expensive diffuser with flashing lights, annoying beeps, and a noisy fan. That one might have been suitable in a big spa room, but not a bedroom.

I am so much happier with this one. It should win some kind of design award.

This little black diffuser seems to be working well so far and I appreciate that it does not stick out like a sore thumb on my counters (it looks like a small mortar bowl, minus the pestle). That being said, I would have loved a little more volume in the vapors. However, it does produce a fair amount, lasts several hours with one fill, and seems to be effective in getting the essential oils dispersed.

Overall... good design and value for the money!

It works consistentlybut it is quite small and does not truly infuse a room with the essential oil aroma. Not enough that I can notice anyway.

It would most likely work best in a very small room.

Honest reviews on Jasmine Essential Oil Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser

it IS small. don't plan on its mist to cover an entire family room or open floor plan home. great for bedrooms or small offices. it doesn't heat the oils, so the therapeutic quality is not destroyed. the little thing runs for like 21 hours straight on ONE fill-up if you use the timer setting. (on 10 minutes, off 20) It's still going when we wake up each morning. cute little design, not so bulky or gaudy like some i've seen. great product for the money. i may buy a second one for my husband's office.

it is very quiet. The room smells very good when I use it

Homedics Hum-cm50 Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought this because it was one of the cheaper humidifiers that I saw and was recommended by a friend. You can choose 4 levels of mist and I turned it to the highest right away. It was a bit slow to start, the mist was small on the highest setting but after running it overnight, I woke up to a nice strong mist in the morning. We use it in our bedroom which is a medium size and it does the job perfectly. I've been using it for a week now and wake up without dry skin and throat. I love that it oscillates and also the pleasing design. It's also whisper quiet and you can turn the blue glow and oscillation on or off. Highly recommended.

Good: Output is nice and happens quickly. I keep it set directly in the middle.

Bad: Unit is a bit noisy and I find the motor droning to be more than white noise. Also, when it is set to oscillate there is sometimes a clunking noise as the head rotates.

I bought it and it worked fine for a few months. Then, it stopped working: Mist would not come out, and in addition, it would oscilate even when the device was turned off. I returned it and got a new one. This time, it worked well for only a couple weeks before it stopped working--again, mist would not come out. Now I have to return a second unit.

I will not be making the same mistake a third time and will be purchasing a new brand.

Honest reviews on Homedics Hum-cm50 Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier

I read the reviews, and I bought 2 of them anyway last year (love the appearance and tank capacity). After last winter, I emptied and stored one unit dry. The other unit I let sit full of water all summer, never used. I thought it would mold, but it didn't. Last week I tried to get them going again. The one I had emptied will not work at all! The other one works ok, but has developed a strange noise during oscillation. Given the countless bad reviews on this product, I'm surprised these are still for sale!

*** UPDATE: I took the functioning and non-functioning units apart to try to trouble-shoot. In the base, there is a small hole towards the back that has a white central piece that sticks up and a white ring around it that sits in the hole. In the non-functioning unit the lower ring was stuck down, but in the functioning one the ring sort of floats up and down. I gently wiggled the one that was stuck and it popped up. Put it back together and low and behold it works again!! The oscillating top makes that annoying light grinding sound, but the tank size is so much better than other units, so I'm bumping my review up to 3 stars.

I bought this last winter and it suited my needs. The oscillating was a bit loud for me, but I would just turn it off while I was sleeping. A couple weeks ago I brought it out, used it twice and it stopped working. When I plug it in it just makes a really loud whirring noise and no mist comes out. I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a lasting product.

Aprilaire Thermostat, Programmable Dual Powered Universal Review

Customer Ratings:

For Southern homeowners who need heat in the morning and air-conditioning in the afternoon, the 8466 is great! Mine has been working for more than a week and I love it! It changes between heat and air automatically, alleviating any manual switching! Since it is universal, one can choose heating/air-conditioning or a heat pump with the flip of a switch! I didn't need to replace my seven year-old Aprilaire 8365, but I needed a unit that my wife could program easily, and the 8466 fit the bill! No touch screen, just buttons and a large, brightly lit screen, and for the price, you can't beat it! However, if you want your heating temperature close to your air-conditioning temperature or you don't want your aux heat(higher bills)on in the mornings, you will need Technical Support help. Believe me, that is not a problem since their Customer Service is superb! Very quick response time and they are very thorough! It is a great company to work with!

Buy Premiere Series 50 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier

Customer Ratings:

WarningAllergy Be Gone will send cheaper unit DDR5011. Not the Advertised -Danby DD5009EE.

The DDR5011 unit Does Not have a remote control, and this is the less expensive unit Allergy Be Gone sells on Ebay for $159.00.

I called ABG and they told me that they don't stock their advertised unit, (the one on they're web page) What?? So they just "substituted" the DDR5011, and said that this one was just the same..... Until I asked about the more extensive electronics, the Remote Control.

They couldn't get me a Return Authorization # fast enough.

Sending it back today.

I don't like it when someone attempts to cheat me.

We bought this Danby # 5009 in April 2011. We've had it for one month, so this is a review when the product is new. Quiet just normal fan noise. I hooked the drain hose to it, put it in the basement corner, set it at 40% humidity, and walked away. It's about as quiet as a machine with a blower fan can be as quiet as the pedestal fan we have closer to the steps I have to go down and walk toward the unit before I can hear the fan on low speed, and get next to it to hear the hum of the condensor system. The included drain hose is ribbed I would prefer a smooth hose. The fan runs all the time to circulate air, but this is balanced by the Energy Star rating.

Beware which third party you deal with on Amazon. Be sure they will actually send what you ordered, and check their policy on order problems and return charges before you order.

January 2013 No increase in noise. I haven't touched it since I installed it with the drain hose.

This seems like a reasonable unit, but I bought it primarily for the low-noise and power saving claims, but I find that the fan runs continuously, meaning continuous noise and power usage.

Several other Units I have had in this usage run 1-2 hours/day, so are significantly better.

I liked its adjustable hygrometer (30-90%), but am returning it for a unit with auto-shut-off.

Honest reviews on Premiere Series 50 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier

We bought model DDR3008EE in 6/08. It worked well at first, but in Fall 2008 ate a lot of power, and its anti-icing function appeared to stop working. We didn't use it over the winter. We turned it on in 7/09 and found its coils would not cool. Other than the fan blowing air, it was totally non-functional. A local shop confirmed that the coolant had leaked out. It took many calls to Danby just to finally get a human being instead of a machine. The man told me Danby couldn't help us as the 1 year warranty had run out. We paid $242 for this piece of junk. We won't ever buy a Danby product again.

Read reviews and purchased anyway. Big mistake. this unit leaks everything it takes out of the air. Can not see any reason to turn on . It will ruin your floor, it does more harm then good.
