Just out of curiosity, what made you choose the Avallo over say a Staebell or equivalent?

I already have an Aristocrat endtable unit. So I am familiar with Bob's work.

Budget was the deciding factor on a chilled unit. Both Avallo and Aristocrat are quality products.

I'm curious about the humidification system (I took a look at their site, but

couldn't find a definative answer) - is it a true two way system? That is, can

it remove humidity as well as add?

I understand there are extra fans to move the air, but are these also relied

upon to dissipate excess humidity?

The air here is as thick as soup right now, and I'm just curious as to how these

units handle really humid conditions.

Thanks for any insight.

My Avallo AH-1200 which seems to have the same humidification system as the cooled units does not remove humidity.

It does keep very consistent humidity. Mine stays at 65% year round.

I may go for the cooled unit next time around. Would have this year but I spent my cash on a new Harley. It was a tough decision, Harley or humidor?

I agree, both are "top of the food-chain" when it comes to humidors. Was just wondering what the deciding factor was. I guess I didn't realize there was much price different in their chilled units. Learn something new everyday.:-P

The deciding point for me was the point by point comparing of the Electronic Control Units that come with each system. From a technical point of view - I felt one was a big step better designed than the other.... I think the wood offered in the Aristocrat line is of a better selection and higher quality than the Avallo offerings - but my main priority was the Electronics - so I purchased the Avallo in both the 5+ foot upright (Model 2000) as well as the Double Credenza size about a year later. I have been very pleased with my decision as the humidity is spot on in every area of the Humidors I test - it is remarkable how evenly humidified and right on RH setting these large cabinets stay...

BTW - just for the record - I have no financial interst at all in the Avallo company - just offering up my opinion. These boxes have earned my loyalty.
