Customer Review: Eh. Unsure about value.
Bought two of these puppies. Have two desktop humidifies, the largest Diamond crown makes, hold about 150 cigars each. On the XL the resevoir was way too small, constantly drying out, so I ordered and put XL Plus resevoirs on there. Worked for maybe 2 years, now both of them have started going haywire, displays messing up or just not working, not doing their job. $200 every year or two is pretty darn expensive. Anyone else got any recommendations?
Customer Review: Works…but not perfect.
It works, but you have to be careful of what type of humidor you are using. I have a “desktop” humidor with two levels - a bottom level holding about 100 cigars and a top tray that hold about 75 cigars. If I locate the Oasis on the top tray, the cigars on top become a bit saturated and the cigars on the bottom dry out a bit. Vice versa if I change the configuration.

The top tray has several openings between the Spanish cedar slats but if I pack the top full then it cuts the air flow down too much. Another issue is that where the cigars overlap the slats they develop striations of moisture.

This would be a perfect device for a large humidor with a lot of open space. But for a smaller desktop model, not so good.
