Great product and an awesome price
This is a well built unit with great functionality and a high value price point. Love having this in the pantry - both functional and art circling around our love of great meat.

No phone tree. No ticket number.

Home Edition G5 — 2026
The machine that started on a professional line. Now built for yours.
The G5 is what a decade of refinement looks like — embedded Wi-Fi, a fully integrated control board, and the G5 Smart App live on the App Store now. Every component was redesigned from the ground up. Every decision was made by the team that invented the original machine and has been aging protein in it ever since.
This is what chefs use. Now engineered for your kitchen.
The most advanced control in dry aging. Full stop.
No other dry aging system in the world puts live telemetry and full parameter control in your hand — not the German makers, not the Italians. Temperature, humidity, airflow speed and UV cycle stream continuously, log for the life of every program, and adjust in real time from anywhere.
And you always know what you are looking at. The app shows where the cabinet stands at a glance — running perfectly, stabilizing, or offline — alongside the live temperature, humidity, airflow and UV readings. It also shows the state of the connection itself, so you know whether you are seeing live data or the last reading before a unit dropped off. A cabinet with no connectivity gives you none of this. You find out when you open the door.
You are always in command. The G5 makes sure you always can be.
Where the Home Edition G5 Separates Itself
Patented Humidity Control — Recovered, Not Refilled
Every refrigerated cabinet dries its own air. The cooling coil pulls moisture out and freezes it, which is why most aging fridges fight humidity with a water tray somebody has to remember to fill — and why they drift the moment nobody does.
The G5 does not have a tray. It flash-heats the ice off the evaporator and returns that moisture to the cabinet. The coil that takes the water out is the coil that puts it back — a closed loop, holding your setpoint continuously, all the way to 98% relative humidity. Nothing to refill. No standing water sitting in a drawer.
Consistent pellicle formation, controlled moisture loss, predictable yield, every cycle — and a range wide enough to take the cabinet from a 45-day ribeye to a bloomy-rind cheese without changing a thing but the setpoint.
US-Patented Aging Intelligence Network
US Patent 11,006,657 covers the communication architecture connecting your aging environment to real-time control from anywhere. No other dry aging system in the US market holds this level of IP protection.
Final Assembly in the USA
Control board installation, firmware, telemetry, and final quality control are completed in the United States by our own team — San Diego, California and St Louis, Missouri. Not outsourced, not offshore. It is why support works the way it does.
A Decade of Data Behind It
6,500 units sold since 2015 means ten years of real aging telemetry across thousands of cycles in working kitchens. The G5's predictive intelligence was built on that dataset. A competitor launching today starts at zero.
Protein Versatility
Beef primals, lamb, pork, poultry, whole fish, hard cheeses, charcuterie and cured meats. UV runs or stays off depending on what is inside — sanitising for protein, silent for anything you are ripening on purpose. One cabinet, one app.
