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.

This looks very nice and an Independent humidity probe shows it is holding the set humidity of 45%. Enough room for my D700 and Z8 cameras with about a dozen lenses plus several flashes. Bought a 22 inch square table that perfectly fits and gets it off the ground. No polarizing filter on iPhone so happy reflections!

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.

I got the 80L to store my lenses. I live in Portland, Oregon, which can be humid at some times of the year, and I wanted to keep lenses closer to a stable 40% RH than fluctuating from 30-80 which is the norm here in the fall and spring.The Ruggard 80L cabinet is great. It runs SILENT, doesn't appear to draw much power, and has plenty of room. Inside I have four camera bodies on the top shelf (various Nikons) with a little room leftover for more. On the bottom I have a ton of lenses standing up—including fairly large telephoto zooms like the Nikon 70-200, Sigma 100-400, Sigma DX 50-100 (a true monster), and a bunch of primes, including several that are 105mm or longer. They all fit just fine standing up, and there are currently twelve lenses in there. There's room for more if I added a shelf or otherwise organized them better, but I just stood them up, cap side down. There is a soft mat thingy that came with the unit that makes this seem like the reasonable way to go.I'm pleased with this cabinet not just because of the humidity thing, but quite frankly because it is a fairly dust-controlled place to put my camera stuff. I know I could just put it in a big plastic tub or something and that would be fairly similar, but this thing is a cabinet with a lockable door, and I now have a muscle memory for where everything "lives." It's great. I just hope I never buy so much camera gear that I need to buy a bigger one—this one fits perfectly under my desk without much room left over!
