PSA: I dropped $300 on a new floral cooler and it's been a total game changer

My old cooler was a hand-me-down that ran fine but the temp would swing like crazy, especially during our hot summers here. I'd lose whole buckets of delicate stuff like ranunculus overnight. Finally bit the bullet and got a new undercounter model with digital controls and a better seal. The first week I had it, I put in a test batch of lisianthus that usually wilts fast. Not only did it last, but it looked fresh for over a week. The steady temp and humidity mean I'm not throwing out nearly as much product. It paid for itself in saved waste in about two months. Has anyone else upgraded their cooling setup recently? Looking for tips on organizing the interior for max space.

Sounds like a huge waste of money to me.

My $350 cooler upgrade paid for itself in about two years just from not having to replace my graphics card every 18 months, but hey, maybe your PC runs better when it sounds like a jet engine taking off.

Upgraded my cooler last year and it was the same story. The steady temps just make everything last longer, right?
