Using a dehumidifying dry cabinet as a humidor?

[Gblack]

So I bought 2 dry cabinets for 50 bucks total. they are used for keeping Cameras and other electronics safe. 1 cabinet still works while the other doesn’t. I haven’t plugged it in and am currently trying to get a steady RH in there. Anyone have any experience working with something like this or should I just scrap the project and use the cabinets for some other storage?

Been searching everywhere but nothing comes up for turning a dehumidifier into a humidor.
The whole thing is in Japanese so I’ve attached a picture of the controls translated. Thanks!

Any ideas as to what rh levels you can expect to maintain in the units if they run properly? If they seal well and temperature is not a concern they will be fine as humidors, just control with Bovedas

if I turn it on to low humidity, it’ll drop to 30% and the highest humidity powered on is 60%. So I just leave it unplugged and it’s been holding at 71% with the boveda

Yea seems like leaving it unplugged is your best option.
