Hello, new member, long time reader.
I've been looking at peoples Wineadors on Youtube and various forums, and as Australia's power prices are rising, I have to be more economical with the Air-conditioning, and I've also moved to somewhere where it's hot a lot. So I've looked at getting a Wineador as a replacement for my glass-top humidor, so I can keep the temperature stable.
As I am just starting, I'm thinking of going with this wine cooler. It's thermo-electric, and a lot cheaper than some of the bigger ones. The other option would be this one. Any suggestions/feedback?
Sourcing NewAir, Vinotemp, Edgestar and Avanti in Australia is rather difficult.
I'm going to keep the metal trays in, and go with some of these. I have a family friend which is a carpenter and may be able to build some shelves. But sourcing Spanish Cedar in Australia, again is somewhat difficult. Feedback would be welcome if that is a bad idea instead of just going the full way and getting full cedar trays instead of metal with the above link.
Now obviously, once I fill any of the above Wineadors, I'll look at buying a Newair or other model straight from Amazon. Probably one of the pre-built ones just to save myself the hassle. Getting a voltage downgrader is easy. Or perhaps I'll just buy a more well-known model in Australia and get the cedar trays built.
For humidification I'm probably going to buy an Oasis unit, paper thin cable shouldn't break the seal by what I've read.
As for a hygrometer, are there any particular brands I want to go for? I'll be buying a digital one, and getting a Boveda calibration kit. One that is adjustable is what I've seen recommended.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
