Owner's manual
Whynter 2.5 Cu. Ft. Cigar Cooler Humidor

Q: do the shelves pull out?

A: Yes

Q: Can I use Boveda packs with this Coolidor or does it have to be the Cigar Oasis ?

A: You can use any type of humidification device of your choosing. I prefer my Cigar Oasis for this humidor while I use Bovedas for my wood humidor

Q: Is this an electronic humidification system with a water reservoir?

A: The unit is a fridge that comes with temperature control, it comes with a tray to put distilled water to bring up humidification inside

Q: Hello, I go with the 70/70 rule and this is perfect for me. The cooler is set at 66 F and works perfectly until..... I HAVE A POWER CUT. The humidor changes the temperature to 55 and dries my cigars to 60 %. Is there a way to avoid that ?

A: Most electric humidors will do this. They default to coldest temperature. In South Florida, we lose power from 1 second to 10 minutes almost every time it rains. To remedy this, simply buy a cheap battery backup ups. When you lose power, the battery kicks in and temperature remains same. When power is restored, the humidor will go back to operating on your ac power. I think my battery ups is rated for 450va and it keeps the humy running on battery power for a good 30 minutes until power comes back on. It works like a charm. Good luck.

Q: How many cigars those it hold and dose it have individual tray for single cigars ?

A: Says it holds 450 but without packing them in you should easily be able to get 250ish. And yes it has trays and draws

Q: My humidor is the chic-251s It is just over a year old the temperature is flashing and it is beeping repetitively any ideas why I unplugged it and let it sit for two days and plugged it back in and it did the same thing. Does it have a reset button?

A: We are sorry for your experience. To further assist you with this matter, please contact our Consumer Support Team, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at [email protected].

Q: Can this unit be installed under a countertop?

A: Yes, if the counter is more than 28 inches high. Also, you will need access to an electrical outlet.

Q: I have purchased the Whynter 2.5 Cu. Ft. Cigar Cooler on March 9, 2017 and the slower fan is always running is this normal?

A: The fan runs to circulate the air within the cabinet; this is normal. We are happy to provide any technical support or product information. Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at [email protected].

Awesome humidor
Have owned for over a month and I love this electric humidor. I researched for months and finally pulled the trigger (with wife's approval). It really is set and forget it, after properly seasoned and correct humidity. I would advise to pair this with a cigar oasis humidifier. Great product so far.

Looks and Works Great
I've been looking at this cigar cooler for a year or so, on the fence on whether to purchase. The BEST BUY price pushed me over the fence. The cooler arrived double boxed and in perfect condition. I seasoned the fine cedar shelves with a distilled water rubdown and put a couple of ounces in the tray that was provided. I also have a separate web-accessible Temp/Humidity probe (Ambient WS-8482) that monitors the unit and sends the results (and graphical trend history) to my phone. The cooler maintains a solid 65-66 at its highest temp setting of 66. Note: the unit will show 67 as the cooler hits its top limit prior to quietly kicking back in. The humidity stability is amazing and i occasionally remove the water tray to keep it at 75%. I have and will continue to recommend this unit. In the future, I may purchase 2 additional draws to replace 2 of the trays for better support of loose cigars. I also purchased the extended warranty.

Great mid-sized Cooler Humidor
Living in Phoenix requires extra cooling plus humidity to preserve cigars at the house. I am able to maintain the cigar storage "magic" numbers of 65* and 65% simultaneously. Seasoning was very quick & simple using provided distilled water reservoir and moist wiping the cedar shelves and drawers. While the water reservoir with the interior circulation fan would be sufficient to keep a proper humidity level, I opted to purchase and use an electronic humidification device. The Whynter corporate support group was very helpful in obtaining an online vendor to purchase additional drawers to replace some of the shelving, as I tend to have more loose cigars than boxes. This humidor has met all of my expectations.
