I’ve had the 48L for a couple years now and I love it. I had the same issue with the flat shelves. I ordered some Spanish cedar strips and built a box around the shelf. Now each of my shelves are like the bottom shelf in the video there. Absolutely love my 48L and I’ve never had any issues with plastic smell or anything.
I have 2 Needone humidors: the 16l cooling only on my desk at work, and the 48l wood grain heating and cooling unit, which is my wife’s. The 16l fans only comes on when the temperature varies too far from what I have it set on, and since it seals so well, sometimes it never comes on. I’ve had a 320 65% Boveda in there for over a year, and it’s still working great, and the pack is still going strong. The 48l has about 200 sticks in it with 2 320 65% Bovedas in it, and in the 4 months we’ve had it, it’s been great.
I got a humidor with my points I got for my 25th work anniversary it’s a Zimtown 50L Electric Cigar Humidors for 300 Counts, with Cooling and Heating Temperature Control System,Mute,with Spanish Cedar Wood Shelves &Digital Hygrometer and I love it and you don’t have to open the door so far to pull the shelves out, it was $179.99
I have had the NEEDONE 48L Cooler Humidor, Electronic Humidor Cabinet for 300 Counts Capacity with Spanish Cedar Wood Shelves for over 2 years and have found it keeps perfect humidity. I use 69% Bovida packs and that is right where my hygrometer reads. Very happy with the purchase, especially for the price!
I bought one almost a month and ive had an 84 season pack in mine but have got humidity over 68 i wanted to het it up to 70 before putting my cigars inside
@@titolightskinswing6820I got one last year and my hygrometer was above 80% after two weeks of seasoning. Did you plug the drain hole on the bottom of the unit before seasoning? Otherwise you’ll be losing humidity.
Would love to see a review or comparison between the new smaller Electric Temp & humidity controlled KingChii Upgrade 23L, Needone 23L Pro, Mojgar 16L or 35L, or any other humidor that controls both temperature and humidity, thanks Cigar Daily
I am a very simple person love to relax after a rough day, and own the 48 L humidor had it for nearly 2 years I am amazed how well my cigars are being preserved, what I like about the humidor is you do not have to break your pocket just to get you a decent humidor that actually works, I used 2 big Boveda 64% and it works great, I enjoy my electric humidor, and my cigars due to its the only hobby I have that I enjoy besides fishing, if you are a professional cigar smoker and not looking to spend a whole lot of money on a humidor this is for you.
I just won this exact one from them on an Instagram giveaway and wanted to check the reviews. I'm pretty stoked to hear it's a good unit! Can't wait. Thanks for the info/review!
I have a needone 33L. I’m using 3- 320g 72% boveda packs. I turn the until off an humidity is about 68-70%. I turn it on and the humidity drops to 60-62%. I had a smaller 72% pack in the cigars and it dried out but the others are still soft.
I have the NeedOne 48L and I purchased it about a year ago. It has been great. Mine does not have the lock feature as far as I know so I just adjust the temp or turn on the light with the push of a button. Only time I ever have to touch the temp though honestly is after a power failure near my office. The 46L is about the size of a small dorm room fridge and I like it because I can fit a few boxes in there along with all my loose cigars. I did add one additional tray which has worked perfectly. I still use the original water tray/cup but I have humidity beads in it that I spritz with distilled water every few weeks depending on the season. One thing I couldn't live without though is the Govee bluetooth hygrometer that I keep inside. It is like $15 and you just download the app on your phone and every time I am in the office I can check the humidity on my phone without opening the humidor or even walking into the room its in for that matter. Love my NeedOne 46L.
Hey Tim Love the show and the videos. I have the Needone 48L. I've had it for a year now and absolutley love it. I use a cigar oasis to humidify the unit. Awesome product!! The two together is an unbeatable combination. The beautiful aroma when I open the door brings a smile to my face everytime. Thanks for all you do for us cigar enthusiasts and keep up the great work!!!
I'm thinking about getting a 48L. I live in England and would only turn it on in the summer when it gets to around 33 C (91.4 F) in hour house. Out of interest, are they expensive to run i.e. electricity?
The only issue i have living in Phoenix on the Needone 23l is ambient temperature. My house during summer months is going to be around 75f with air conditioning. If i set the the unit below 70f i will get a little condensation at the bottom and my RH goes down to much. I should mention i have 69% Boveda packs. With the unit set at 70 degrees the bottom of the unit is right at 69RH but the top is 63-64 RH. I should also mention i purchased an additional box shelf, so i have 2 box shelves and 2 flat shelves in mine with the 2 box shelves at the bottom of unit. 14:54 I might try to move unit to a cooler spot in the house if there is one lol. So with mine if i lower the unit temp my RH goes down So 70f seems to be my sweet spot? I also taped over the drain hole in the bottom of the unit.
I am in Kansas and have been having the same problem with mine. It’s hot here and I’m getting the condensation. I finally realized that I should just leave the temp a lil higher (70-71ish) and that seems to keep the humidity where I want it as well as eliminate the condensation. I am using a Boveda 320 as well and have also taped the drain hole
I got a Mojgar 50 L in 2023 and holding humidity in that thing has been such a challenge. I have a cigar oaises in it. 2 84% Bovida packs and several other packs and humidity trays and even with the cigar oaises set at 74% setting, the humidity only goes up to like 66% or 67 max.i spruced it up put those Amazon rechargeable lights from Amazon and did as much as I could for it. But boy oh boy did I wish I got a better one. I’ve spent way too much time and effort for mediocre performance. Sucks
I just purchased this humidor and I’d like to season it with a boveda pack. I’d like to ultimately keep my humidor at ~68. Did I hear you correctly and say that I should season with a 75% instead of a 84% seasoning pack?

Hello Tim I recently purchased the Needone 48L humidor and have been seasoning it with boveda 84% bags for the last few days. I have noticed water pooling in the drip tray. Will leaving it unplugged to drain out affect my RH levels, or how can I avoid this? Any help would be appreciated.
I bought the 33l after watching your video and am currently working on the filling process. I sis have a dip in humidity about a week and a half after seasoning but I have 2 320gm 69% in there now. I am curious what an acceptable temp drop is though b4 the heat kicks on because I had to set it yo 71 to achieve 68 actual and it dropped to 64 actual and only came back up as room temp did.
I got the NEEDONE 48l heating and cooling humi in November 23. So far the heating does not do anything that I notice. It is in a room that gets down to 62-64ish at night and it won't even bring it up to 67. When it gets hot this summer I will find out if it keeps things cool. But I have my doubts. I have not been happy with mine.
I just picked this humidor up today and I had a question about the fan that’s on the inside. Is it supposed to be running all the time or is it on like a timer? Mine seemed to stop spinning after a few minutes
Tim, I have the 48 L 300 count one with a cigar oasis in it and I cannot for the life of me keep the humidity below like 72-75 % I even set the cigar oasis to 65 and nothing. Not sure if I have a defective unit. If boy way it levels off is if I open it for a couple of hours and let some humidity out. Any thoughts ??
More info needed - what is ambient temperature and humidity? What city? Have you checked the accuracy of your cigar oasis unit? It may be useful to chart the T/RH of the NeedOne for several weeks with a Govee (or similar brand) sensor.
I'm a beginner and I live in a very hot climate (Las Vegas) so I bought one of these and it's quite nice. One thing the instructions says is leave the door open for roughly 20 minutes to get any gas odors out of it. It's very solid so it has weight to it, and the light can be turned on or off. Temp is easy to set and this thing holds 150 cigars. it also comes with a hygrometer and batteries (hope I spelled that right) I paid 162 for it on Amazon so yes it was well under 200.
I have a Needone electric humidor 150 count and my cigars never tasted better

Yes sir! NeedOne has been a game changer after moving from a desktop humidor.

Same here. Works perfectly
I really need one , my collection is between 200-300 in 10 different humidor's , tupperdores and jar's 😉
I bought one almost a month and ive had an 84 season pack in mine but have got humidity over 68 i wanted to het it up to 70 before putting my cigars inside

No i didn’t how did you plug it ?
I've got 48l heat/ cool model. Boveda 65% and it's been awesome!

How would you compare the needone to the kingchii 23L?
I put boveda packs attached under shelf. No wasted space!

How do I season the 23L and the 48L Needone electric cigar humidors? How long? I am clueless.
I have this one and I have the temp at 70. But my sticks look like they are opening on the end. What am I doing wrong??
i was looking at a wooden cabinet but i think This is going to be the one. A few extra dollars and you can put climate control on auto pilot

Nice ad
Mine has a strong smell of plastic
Just bought one and I am experiencing an internal condensation issue. Anyone got a solution?

I might pick one of these up to house my budget everyday smokes and put my regular ones in my 48L

I keep mine at 65 temp and 65% humidity for aging my smokes.
Addicted to watching your videos!!
My experience so far has been great with my Needone! Great review Tim! Hope all is well! God bless!

This is a cooling unit exclusively, if you live where it's warm that'll workout perfect for you.

Noticed the temperature fluctuates from 69,70,71 while you where filming. Is that normal?
JUST REMEMBER. whatever the cigar count States.. HALF IT
I do need one ! You guys awesome love your stuff !
It perfurm very well first 2 month, then the humidity never go up beioned 60 regardless what you are adding as solutions!!

There are sliding spanish cedar drawers on the Needone website available to replace the shelves should you decide to. For additional $$ of course.
These things get the job done ✔️
That unit has a great new home!!!! 🤘
Yeah that one would definitely be too small for me , I've got close to 300 cigars...
I have a needone 33L that I just love.
I can't get mine to go over 63 even though I seasoned it few times already and got 69 gels, 69 bovedas in there... no clue what to do at this point.
You will need 4 packs , of 64% for 100-150 cigars?
I just picked this humidor up today and I had a question about the fan that’s on the inside. Is it supposed to be running all the time or is it on like a timer? Mine seemed to stop spinning after a few minutes
Looks cheap. Never understood fake wood stickers...
Has anyone noticed the kingchii and need one humidors look exactly identical?
Now when yhey say woodgrain they mean painted platic right?
I have the larger size. Can’t seem to get the plastic smell out of it.
Tim,
I have the 48 L 300 count one with a cigar oasis in it and I cannot for the life of me keep the humidity below like 72-75 % I even set the cigar oasis to 65 and nothing. Not sure if I have a defective unit. If boy way it levels off is if I open it for a couple of hours and let some humidity out. Any thoughts ??
More info needed - what is ambient temperature and humidity? What city? Have you checked the accuracy of your cigar oasis unit? It may be useful to chart the T/RH of the NeedOne for several weeks with a Govee (or similar brand) sensor.
How do you calibrate the hygrometre? How many bovedas does that thing take? 4 for a hundred, so 12 for 300?
I have the 48l needone unit. I use a combination of boveda packs and humi-care gel beads. Way cheaper than using all boveda
No humidity control, no need for a Needone.
Pun intended.
Where do I find Bovida packs?
The only way to find out is to drop ash on the box
So you only set and control the temp with the humidor not the humidity you still have to use boveda packs ?
How many boveda packs does it take to humidify the unit
exactly like my KingChii love it!
LIGHTS! I NEED MORE LIGHTS!!
Don’t Need1, have plastic containers that work. 😅
New air all the way!
i used to like it better when you did duos with late bradley. you were much more natural no? i wonder if you should get a mate?
