| The cheese cave is now gone. |
So what happened? It started to leak. After I'd had it about two weeks, I found a puddle of water seeping out from beneath it. I thought at first that perhaps it was because I was using the floor duct to vent it. So I pulled it away from the wall, mopped up the water, and kept and eye on it. But it still kept leaking. Clearly something was wrong.
I contacted customer support with the idea of replacing it, but they would only refund me for this one after it was returned. Then I was to buy another one. Except the special buy price was gone and a new one was higher, so I said I'd rather shop around.
I rearranged my solar powered chest fridge, which is working out just fine. I can keep it at the required cheese curing temperature, and it has the advantage of higher humidity—needed for curing cheese anyway. The beverage cooler maintained a low humidity.
UPS picked it up yesterday, and I'm back to trying to figure out my pantry arrangements. That corner currently looks like this . . .

Well, darn. At least you found it before it did damage.
Your experiment now has me thinking as well. A cheese cave (or facsimile thereof) might encourage me to try more hard cheeses.
