capnshazam Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Looking to step up to a wineador and was looking at this cabinet. http://www.air-n-water.com/product/aw-280e.htm It's at my price point and is the biggest the wife will let me have. If anyone has any experience with this brand (good/bad) feedback would be appreciated. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Tim, I have two of them. Cleaned them out with baking soda/soap, rinse, air it out, added some cedar shelves, some beads and small fans and I was in business. The problem I have with them is if I jam them with boxes. Too many boxes kills the circulation and it is hard to maintain temp and humidity. So now I just use them without the temp adjusted and just deal with it...the reality is, you just never have enough storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Thanks for the input, yeah I figure I will outgrow it eventually but I'm going from a 100 count desktop to the wineador so hopefully I'll get at least a year out of it before I need something more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murri Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Only issue with mine is after a power outage the temp defaults to the lowest setting. Ran at 55 deg for almost a day before I caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmirko Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I avve a AW-280 and it works perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFriday Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have the 28 Bottle New Air. I love it and it keeps good humidity. I live in the south so the humidity is fairly high. Im using 2lbs of Kitty Litter and plugged the drain. The only PITA was the clips that held the wire racks had to be removed (beaten) from the sides.

scradley Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Did you build those drawers? They look really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFriday Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 a close friend of mine made them. The thick construction of the drawers took a while to season but once seasoned it holds beautifuly. Semper Fi, Mr.Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
