NEEDONE Humidor 23L with Cooling and Heating Temperature Control System, Electric Cooler for 150 Counts with Digital Hygrometer, Made with Spanish Cedar Wood, Gift for Men, 3 Layers

My humidor was purchased in 2023. Everything worked fine for 2 years but it then began making a noisy hum. I feared it was the compressor since the noise was present when the fan at the BACK was NOT spinning. I contacted the company knowing it was just a bit after the 24 month warranty has passed to see if they could help. They initially said sorry, it was out of warranty but further exchange in asking their help in diagnosing the noise, they invited me to send an audio file to them so they might determine the sound. I did so and they suggested it was the INTERNAL fan. I didn't know there were TWO fans! The internal one is the one that constantly circulates air. I emptied the unit and discovered that is exactly what it was. They went above & beyond helping me and I was sent a replacement fan. This was simple to install and I would even say the replacement fan is quieter than the original when I first received the humidor. Perhaps the original fan was substandard from the beginning and simply degraded prematurely? Perhaps the corner of a 5 pack cellophane wrap worked its way past the guard and stopped the fan from spinning? I've included an image of the fan. The same unit is available on Amazon if your humidor begins to hum. this one: TX8025L12S 12V Wine Cabinet Constant Temperature Silent Cooling Fan Thank you to NeedOne customer service.

I bought this on October 5th. I was impressed by the recommendations from cigar reviewers, and it was about the perfect size plus it cooled AND heated--which was important. I noticed when I got it, there was an odor--kind of like hydraulic fluid maybe??? I used baking soda for a week, and it didn't go away, but I figured it would go away after time. It has not. I am sad about this, but I could live with it. The last three weeks, the unit won't hold humidity. I have changed the two 320-gram Boveda packs and even bumped them from 69% to 72%. The reading is staying around 58% to 61%. NOTE: I am using a three pack of Switchbot hydrometers--one in my standard desktop humidor, one in my transition humidor and one in this unit. They have all been calibrated. It is sad because I bought this unit specifically to store my better cigars--Fuente Fuente Opus X's. Padron Serie 1926 #9s, Rocky Patel ALRs (2nd Edition), and my favorite frequent smokes--Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro lanceros & figurados. They are all going to have to be moved into another humidor now, and rehydrated and I lost the money I spent on this unit--which I reallly had high hopes for! The humidity problem with this unit has happened in the last three weeks, so my purchase is past the return date. Hopefully someone with the company reads this and takes pity on my plight. If they do, I will do a follow up review with a truthful account of events. I scored it at 2 stars because it is just this one unit and may be a fault specifically to the one I was sent. I was at 4 stars (because of the smell) until three weeks ago. Peace-r. 11/22/24: I was contacted by the manufacturer about two days after I wrote this review. They have been in constant contact and responded to me quickly. They not only offered me possible ways of fixing the issue (which I am now working through), they also offered some refund to help cover the inconvenience. Alyson has been excellent in correspondence and quick to dialogue about the issues and my take on it. They actually are trying to be helpful, and that should be commended. I would say that if they hadn't read my original review and reached out, I did not have any way to connect with them that I can see. I will be interested if they find a way to QC the issue at the manufacturing stage. I am working on the smell issue now. I will see what happens with the humidity control after that.

I’ve had this 23L Needone since January of 2025. It has developed temperature control issues beginning in early March of 2025. The temperature goes up about 4-5 degrees from a set point of 69F to 73-74F lowering my Humidity causing my Govee Alarms to go off. I pull the plug and wait 10 secs and that works for another 4/5 days and the temperature goes up again. I’ve Contacted Needone for a 2nd time and hoping they warranty it. I’ve got a 26l KingChii purchased almost 1 1/2 years ago and it never has had any temperature issues. Will update this review when I hear back. To much invested in Cigars for it to be going out of whack. It was Seasoned Correctly and I have the drain plug covered like others have stated to do on Forums. Also Govee has been Salt Test Calibrated…Hoping I just got a bad egg and they will make good on replacing it. UPDATE: After a few trouble shooting emails,Needone sent me a new Unit. I changed the review to a 5 Star. Appreciate the Customer Sevice! 5⭐️’s

When I opened it, the smell of cedar was just right. I had purchased extra cedar planks for the break in period, and 82% Boveda bags. Didn’t really need the extra cedar. It’s very quiet and went from 75 degrees to 65 in about 2-3 hours, where it has stayed. I have a couple other (non electrical) humidors. In Michigan the humidity and temperature can change at the drop of a hat. Boveda bags keep humidity simple, but do nothing for temperature. I’m hoping the heating element works as well as it cools. I was most concerned with sticks getting over 70 degrees however, not to worried about them getting cold- as the house is never below 65. It’s well made, about the size of a large computer tower. Not imposing. Found it referred to in numerous non-Amazon searches as an ideal quality unit for 150 sticks. The case light at the top is all but useless, as it only lights the top sticks. There is the concern of mixing too many types of sticks together and the flavors blending. This hasn’t been a problem in my other humidors unless I unwrapped sticks mixed together. I did that purposely with 2 brands and aged them that way for 2 years to infuse them with each other. The results - meh. Best to buy top sticks. Great buy so far. Will update if anything fails…. ENJOY !

Works better than I expected it to. When I got it I placed two 60 gram 84% biveda packs in. I made the mistake of taking them out within 3 days when the humidity got up to 60% and then placed my cigars in with 3 of the smaller 65% RH packs. The humidity dropped rapidly down to 49%. This was user error as I did not let it fully season. I took the cigars out and put back the 84% packs. I let the thing season for about 7 days total and after that put my cigars and 65 packs back in and it held humidity perfectly. As far as temperature goes it holds 68 fahrenheit with no issues in a room that is usually about 76 degrees Fahrenheit. As far as I can tell there are no seal issues and holds temp and humidity well. My only gripe is that if you do not open the door a full 180 degrees you can not pull the trays out. This is the only reason for the 4 star rather than 5 star. Over all I'm very happy with the purchase. Edit: after having it for over a month I have noticed that it does not hold humidity as I would expect. I am lowering stars because of this. I have to have multiple bovida 69% just to stay at 60% humidity. Also the strong oder of tabacco around the back side of the unit tells me it is leaking more than a small amount of air and humidity. Temperature holds as I would expect it to.
