Range the research literature reports for dry aging beefthis cabinet, per its maker
- Temperature: maker: 'Temperature Range: 34-77℉'.
- Humidity: Water tank feeds a humidity system with a set-point: 'Humidity Range: 60-85%'; 'No drain or plumbing needed—simply fill the tank'; control panel raises or lowers humidity 1% per press (user guide).
- Classed here as: Active (holds a set-point you choose), 60–85% RH.
Active means the cabinet adds or removes moisture to hold a level you set; fixed means a humidifier holds one level the maker chose; a salt block or water tray is passive. Why the difference matters
Where it can go
23.4 W × 28 D × 50 H in. User guide: suitable for freestanding and built-in use; keep the ventilation plinth open when built in. Reversible door.
What the extra money buys: Against the Ca'Lefort Dry Age Fridge VI60SA, the extra ~$900 buys nothing in the fields compared here (humidity, capacity, installation, app, UV, carbon filter, lock, temperature range); the difference is elsewhere, such as finish or door. See the Ca'Lefort Dry Age Fridge VI60SA.
