Battle of the Humidors: The Newair 1500 Vs. The Remington Lite humidor

The Newair 1500 and the Remington Lite, both are electric humidors. The venerable difference between both the humidors is their size and storage capacity. The Newair 1500 comes under the small electric humidors and is preferable easy to handle and understand. It is a good investment for beginners and personal use. Whereas the Remington lite comes in the large cabinet cigar coolers and needs the professional skill to understand and handle. It is good for commercial use like cigar bars, lounges, or clubs.

The electric cigar coolers have a built-in temperature and humidification system. Electronic cabinets don’t require any person to operate. The user needs only once to start the system and monitor it occasionally. Electronic humidors are best to store cigars. This feature is particularly important for people living in extreme hot or cold areas. The temperature change causes the molecular effect on the humidity level. That is why cigar coolers perform better in extreme weather conditions.

Let’s have a detailed review of both the Newair 1500 and Remington Lite humidors.

The Spanish cedar is used due to its decay and weather conditions resistance. The control and display panel of the cigar cooler is included at the top of it with blue neon light. The neon light allows you to monitor the readings easily in dark. The digital display is an additional feature that increases the worth of this cigar cooler. The readings are far easy to read in the digital system as compared to the analog system. The cigar cooler has eliminated LED lights from every shelf. The light display gives a charming great look in the dark and also helps to view the products in detail without holding the stress of touch light in the hands.

This cigar cooler allows you to adjust the temperature range from 41F-71F in only one touch.  You have to set the temperature once and then the change in the environment or external temperature will not affect the inside surroundings of the cigar cooler. The automatic temperature control system will be updated on its own if any changes will be required.

This Remington Lite Electric Built-in automatic humidification system. It is difficult to monitor the humidity on regular basis and if the humidity level in the humidor decrease from the balance limit it can dry out the cigar and if the humidity level increase from the required range it can make cigars soggy and wet. Both situations can destroy the cigars in the humidor so this humidor allows the user to feel free with its automatic humidity control system.
