Choose your cigar humidor effectively

There are many types of cigar humidor which will hold anything from a dozen cigars to more than three thousand! The first step in selecting a humidor is to assess your needs in terms of capacity.  The interior layout varies by model. It can be compartmentalised, divided into drawers, or be arranged with shelves.

The place you have available to install your humidor is a crucial element in the selection process. Some are very compact and can be stored in a drawer, while other models are the size of a wardrobe. You should consider whether the humidor is to be exposed to sunlight to determine whether to choose a glass or an opaque lid.

Electronic control, for the regulation of temperature, humidity, or both, allows very precise management of the cigar humidor. This feature is particularly useful if your cellar is large and used frequently.

Humidity control, when not electronic, is achieved with a humidifier. This system, which is no less effective, is better suited to small or medium sized models.

Temperature control is managed by placing the cigar humidor in a place where the ambient temperature meets the conditions of cigar preservation (it should not exceed 21 ° C). The hygrometer and thermometer can be set up inside the humidor to ensure that the storage conditions are maintained.

So after a year and a half of doing the home reno/extension the hard way during COVID, I have finally been given the green light by She Who Must Be Obeyed (or at least consulted) to splurge on a Forever Home for my cigars.  At the moment, my long-term storage is six 50l tupperdors stacked in my Kennards wine locker -- not a satisfactory solution because of access and it limits my wine storage (another vice) -- so I am looking for a large cabinet of 400l/3,000 cigar size.

This has thrown up a few issues....

1. I'm in Australia, and nobody seems to to sell these here, or even do conversions.  If I could buy local, I would.  If anyone knows a chippie who does this sort of thing, I'd love to hear about them.  

2. The main countries that manufacture cabinets appear to be Germany, the US and China.  Past experience with other purchases mean that I am not keen on Chinese products (quality control can be, shall we say, uneven).  Does anyone have experience with US cabinets, in particular voltage conversion issues with the humidification?

3. In the past, my active humidification systems have always managed to produce a healthy crop of mould even when using distilled water.  Can anyone recommend a system that avoids this?

4. I am also looking for a system that offers both active humidification and temperature control.  This rules out a few options already, such as Marc Andre and the Schwaben (both Germans).  Any other recommendations?

5. Gerber -- the exorbitant solution, and I am not sure that selling my right kidney and left nut would cover the cost, but when I start to think about the value of the cigars over a lifetime I might just be able to argue myself (and, more importantly, SWMBO) into it.  Anyone in Oz have one of those, I'd love to hear your experiences.  

6. CigarCava -- the Spanish option.  Far more affordable, and again: any first-hand experience, I'd love to hear them.

TIA.
