Ruggard Electronic Dry Cabinet (30L)

Excellent. Mine came missing the tiny pin to change the lock, but Ruggard was super fast and friendly and sent me a new one. Recommend company and product.

This is one of those items that you plug in and forget about it. It does exactly what the maker says it would do. Miy unit holds a lot of gear and looks great. It is so comforting to know my camera gear is well protected.

Got this for my son for Christmas. He is very happy with it and as his camera collection grows we will probably be purchasing another!

I have four camera bodies in this and about eight lenses, though half are Leica lenses that are smaller than the pair of Nikon DSLR lens I have inside. The shelves are adjustable and the build seems good. Very happy with that.The interior atmosphere control works well enough, set the humidity level and the box pretty much keeps it more or less in the ballpark.The external display is pretty but worthless.The humidity rating reads + or - 10 or more points to where is actually is.I got a separate meter and stuck it inside so I can see it through the door without opening the box and that tells me the box IS maintaining the humidity as it should, just the display is all wrong.For the price and build (display not withstanding) this box is a functional and good looking piece of kit that is a must have if you live in a wet climate or humidity is a factor for you for whatever reason.

Works great!

This is my second Ruggard (80L) dry cabinet. I purchased another because of how happy and satisfied I am with the product. I've used the first one for close to 5 years in Asia for my photography equipment. Over the years, I've continued acquiring additional lenses, cameras and other electronics so I decided to buy another when I moved to the Pacific Islands. Humidity will destroy your lenses and sensitive electronics. I have 10 camera lenses (one of which is a super telephoto lens), 2 camera bodies, extra batteries, DJI Osmo and flash in one cabinet.The first thing I notice when the box arrived was how well it was packaged. It had reinforced edges and strapped around every side. I was surprised that the shelf had a dent. This clearly occurred while in transit. When I contacted the seller, they responded immediately and thru Amazon, they remedied everything. I am very satisfied with the product, the seller and Amazon.The first time I filled this new cabinet, it took several hours to get down to 40% humidity. This could have been because everything I placed in there had not been in a humidity cabin since arriving on the islands. In Korea, I could open the door, remove what I needed, close the door and the cabinet would return to the set level quickly. Now that I have a second cabinet, I've placed important documents (comic books) in the cabinet as well. I will also place my laptop in the cabinet at night.In the future, I plan to purchase a larger cabinet. Having two helps because I can use one for regular access and the other for infrequent access. I highly recommend this product.

Update: 3 years and working like new. I just came back to buy a second and saw my review, so I thought it was a good time for an update!This was the best price to size dry cabinet I could find, and thankfully the performance has exceeded my expectations as well. Just to give a gauge of how much gear it can hold, I have all of the following in it currently:Sony a9Sigma 50 Art 1.4, 100-400Tamron 28-75, 70-180, 35 2.8Sony 85 1.8Samyang 45 1.8Fuji XE-3 and 35 1.4Rolleiflex 2.8fHelios 44-2, and Jupiter 9In my unit, the humidistat in the unit reads about 5% low when judging against a calibrated humidistat. It's not the end of the world though, as the range it will dehumidify down to is low enough to compensate. I kept a humidistat inside as well as outside for a few weeks after purchasing: my ambient humidity was 60% and the cabinet has held it steady at 38% for months. The lights inside the cabinet are a nice touch, though I rarely use them. The seal on the door is solid; I've never had it open itself up. The lock is nice for keeping kids/pets out, but obviously not a real security measure against theft as the cabinet itself is fairly light.All in all, I'm pushing the limits of gear that it will hold, and I'd happily buy a second.

The build quality was awful. The door was tilted on the left side cause a huge gap between the door and the cabinet. It was a headache to return this item because of the weight and size.
