Still Air Box Mycology (Sturdy) Mushroom Grow Box Alt to Laminar Flow Hood Fume Hood for Lab Mycology Supplies by USA Mycologists V2 (Large)

I'm very happy that I decided on this still air box. The frame, cover and zippers are all nice and sturdy, and it was easy to assemble and break down for storage. There is plenty of room for grain spawn bags and an impulse sealer with plenty of room left to work in. The arm holes provide a good seal and don't act like a piston creating air currents. I contacted customer service to activate the warranty and they were very friendly and quick to reply. Can't recommend this box enough!

High quality, fairly durable. Easy to assemble and take apart. Should last a few years. The zippers are very durable. Clear vinyl is easy to see through. Used for inoculating mushroom growing kit at home.

Just put it together, very large. Will see how it goes!

The media could not be loaded. Overall I’m fairly content with this purchase that I made a few weeks ago but very disappointed in several of the features and would consider this product way over priced for being low tech plastic rods and a plastic cover.The first thing you’ll notice is how huge this thing is! I had to buy a separate table to be able to place this item on. Even when I stick my arms all the way in, I don’t come close to being able to reach the back of the box so I’m a bit unsure of the purpose for making this box this big.The instructions say to assemble the frame first and slide the cover over the frame, but a huge design flaw is how snug the cover is. The zipper doesn’t zip all the way down to the corner end and even with making sure all the rods are tightly connected, you have to stretch the cover to the point of almost ripping it in order to slide it over the frame. I don’t see the purpose of making the cover that snug with zero give when the “self-sealing” armports are huge holes on the side of the box.For the price point that I paid for this item, I would expect the arm ports to actually seal when your arms aren’t in it, perhaps have gloved sleeves instead of just ports. You pretty much have to have your arms in the box to prevent air from circulating inside of it, otherwise you have two holes that let air in. It kind of defeats the purpose of having such a tight fit around the frame when the arm ports don’t seal all the way in my opinion.In theory, this should be a 5 minute assembly since it’s just plastic rods and a sleeve. The first time I put this thing together though it took me roughly 20 minutes and I was sweaty by the end of it since I was doing this alone. I would say that after a couple times I’m now able to assemble this quicker in about 5 minutes now that I’ve learned to assemble one side of the frame first, slide the cover, and assemble the rest inside the box.Another issue with this product is visibility. Since this product comes bundled up, there are several creases that don’t smoothen out and make it really difficult to see through the plastic. You pretty much have to hold your face and the item your holding right up to the cover to see something clearly. It’s clear enough to see large objects well but very murky if you’re trying to read something through it.Overall, I’ve been successful in what I use this for so can’t complain too much but I wouldn’t expect to be having this many issues for this price point.Edit - ever since I initially wrote this review, the seller had reached out to me to apologize for the design flaws and pledged to make improvements. The seller went out of their way to send me a replacement cover, and sent me a new improved design. I took an extended break from my mycology hobby and it wasn’t until recently that I gave the new cover a try. The current design is a much better fit around the frame. It’s been a year since I put this together last and was able to put this together much faster than with the old design which I had reviewed! The cover has more give around the corners to allow assembly of the frame without ripping the plastic. The visibility through the plastic is much better and the placement of the arm holes is improved. It’s easy to see the seller really cares about this product and their customer service was above and beyond what I had expected. My only regret is not having updated this review much sooner. I previously rated this a 3 but I’ve upgraded my rating to a 4.

I normally don't write reviews but am taking the time for this one cause I think it's important for shoppers to know that the creators of this product really did fix all the issues you'll read about in the bad reviews.When I ordered this product I bought a different one as well from a different company thinking that if this product gave me all the struggles people wrote about then I can return it & use the back-up.I'm happy to say that the sellers note in the item description is indeed true - they took the negative feedback & fixed the issues.Important: Like the instructions say, if the plastic case doesn't easily slide over the frame allowing you to effortlessly zip it up, then you need to push the frame bars further into the joints.1 thing I couldn't tell from the reviews/photos was how the arm holes were designed to keep in. I'm happy to report that the creators were really creative in their set up to both not let the air escape but also give the user easy in/out.They set up the blue material overlapping (there are 3 layers of materials, each pulled tightly with elastic). When you slide your hand in, it's like a maze your hand has to navigate to get into the box. The maze & tight elastic creates an almost solid seal around your arms, wrists, hands - whatever size is at the entryway it wraps itself tightly around it. When I say "almost," it would be maybe a Q-tip size opening on either side of my arm at the most.I needed this box to suck the humidity out of the air insode the box so I can work with dried flowers. So it was really important to me that humidity couldn't get in from the outside. I'm happy to report that the blue fabric the creator chose along with all the layering, is doing it's job excellently. I've been monitoring the humidity reading inside & outside of the box multiple times a day for a week now. I am very happy with this product.

Seems like it would be an awesomeProduct but …it didn’t ship with the necessary 12 small two-way adapters required for assembly so is now a useless pile of plastic that I can’t use. Kept it in the sterile packaging until i was ready to use it. Whoops! Should have checked to see if everything was there right away but…who assumes the manufacturer won’t include the whole product when they send it??? (Not me). Anyway, used the convenient QR code in the product materials/insteuctions to open the ‘Contact’ page, filled out the form and required ‘reCaptcha’ nonsense only to get a ‘Whoops! Something went wrong’ message and failed contact form submission - which rinses and repeats on retry. Pretty disappointing. I had cultures ready to work in this thing and now not sure how to proceed. Very bummed. If you buy one of these check it right away to make sure the whole thing is there or you may end up in my situation.

Thank you for making this air box, it is all as advertised, easy assembling and nice quality for the price.
