Wineador, Thermoelectric vs Compressor, what’s the real issues?

I wonder if it would have to do with defrost cycle of a compressor and possibly causing big shifts in RH? I'm not sure if the defrost cycle would cause a shift in RH or not inside the unit?

The rh drops fast and hard! If I were you I'd go compressor but store the cigars in sealed containers. You will also probably want too make sure it has a fan in it and not just a evaporator...this could cause a issue of big temp swings

Cost.... Compressor can be used but drops insanely fast once opened. You need to install an electric unit along with beads to create a stable environment. Going compressor means spending an extra $150 on rh. I still have no problem with either really, but I do not recommend compressor assuming most will not take the additional time and energy involved with installing an electric unit. Compressor with beads alone is not stable really, and the cooling system itself will change the environment. I'd still have no problem going either way, I just went thermo and spent $13 on KL. I bought mine from costco so I can always return if defective as well.
