I live in a warm climate, so my house is usually around 82-82ºF. How cool will the Thermal Electric Cooling allow the cellar to go at those temps?

I live in the desert southwest and keep mine in the corner near a sliding glass door and a big window and mine stays at 54 all the time (I did not set the cooler compartment colder because I have all reds), but I keep my house at 76 degrees. Given the light mine gets during the day I would think you will keep the temperature you want in an 80 degree house

I keep the house at 78* year round. No problem with the red chiller maintaining 64* and the white chiller maintaining 52*. I have a second one in the garage maintaining at 64*, even with the garage reaching 100*. Just remember to have air space around the cooler.

I live in West Texas and my house during the day is around 82. I've noticed the cooler will be around 54 when I come in from work. I've got it set for 48.

I'm guessing your asking about electronic equipment over heating in the doored shelves. I personally installed a cooling system into mine to keep temps below 86 degrees F. If I had not installed cooling possible over heating for always on devices that produce a lot of heat. If devices in are only one for a few hours there should be no problems.

I keep mine in an unused bedroom we have turned into a store room. Living in Texas it's not really an option to keep the cooler in the garage, at least not for about 9 months of the year. The air conditioning is usually about 74 degrees in my home and the cooler has little to no effort in keeping an internal temp of 52-55 degrees. Even though the door is supposed to be UV protected I make sure and keep the curtains drawn as to keep sunlight from hitting the door directly.

Most definitely. Tops out at 81 degrees, but was a godsend for me and the family when our pipe froze, rending our furnace useless for a few hours. This kept us from freezing and even helped heat a 550 sq ft room up to about 64 degrees from 59 F. It'd do far more in a normal sized bedroom.

A non liquid or gel cooled CPU cooler can only cool the CPU to as cool as the room its in. And maybe a few degrees cooler. How hot is your house? And btw... 70-80 under load itsnt that bad assuming your house is around 70-75. Start worrying when you hit 90 at Max load. If you cool the room its in and continue to have issues or unsatisfactory temps then get your motherboard tested. (I've had this issue and once it was the MB reporting faulse temps. Also... try a different program for monitoring your temps while under load. And only run one at a time.)

If your air conditioner is large enough for you apartment, the Cool Bot will allow it run at a temperature lower that the pre-set minimum. I have a relatively small air conditioner that keeps my 450 sq ft. wine cellar at 58 F on the hottest days. It may be that your units are too small for you apartment?

I have one Side and back with 1 1/2 inches and other side is open. We keep the unit in our family room - 74F summer - 65F winter. Temperature ranges from 39F to at most 41F. Top rack is definitely only for red wine. Note we keep the unit fairly well stocked in order to maintain an even temperature range. You do have more temperature swings when not well stocked. That will hold true with most refrigeration equipment. The refrigerated items absorb the cold energy then release as temps increase.

Not sure but mine is in basement that I keep at about 55 degrees. Works just fine.

I use this unit in attic space with little insulation which is roughly 300 sq ft. On very hot humid days it can bring temps in room to mid 70s.

The manufacturer states that the unit is intended for placement in an air conditioned environment where the temperature does not exceed 80 degrees nor less than 50 degrees. Although it can be built-in (because it receives cool air from and ejects heated air to via the front panel), it is not to be placed in a confined area, such as a closet or pantry. In other words, it's intended for in-house use in the dining room, kitchen or living room. Note: the shelves are great, but it's a bit noisy...even the small recirculating fan inside makes commutator noise (rrrrrrr), which is dumb.

Just curious, why would you want to maintain a temp of between 68 and 72 degrees in a wine cooler? That is basically room temperature. Why not just leave the wine on the countertop if you want it that warm?

I'm using mine on a patio as a slide in under an outdoor kitchen cabinet. Make sure you have about 4 inches around for air flow. This unit has the condenser built in the left and right sides and dissipats the heat unlike a fan blowing air across the condenser on your home frig. What I did do is take the 1/2 inch shipping foam that was in the box and duct tape it to the back and top to help insulate the box a little. Just dont cover any part of the outside that feels warm after it's plugged in. Here is something I want to warn you about but is no big deal. When the box is cold and say you go to get a drink out of it. After you close the door it forms a tight vacuum and makes the door almost impossible to open unless you wait 3 or 4 min. I do HVAC repair and have have seen this same thing happen on walk-in coolers trapping people. You need to make a way for the vacuum to be relieved. What I did was take a 2 inch piece of thermostat wire (this wire is about 1/2 the size of a cloths hanger) tapped it the top and bent it over to go between the refrigerator box and the door gasket. This little wire will allow the vacuum inside to equalize and you can open the door within 15 to 20 seconds and it wont bother the temperature. Buy the way this frig can freeze a bottle of pop if you set it to cold. My control is setting around 5 O'clock and running around 32 degrees. I leave it outside but unplug it in the winter. Good Luck

I use the inside unit in a temperature controlled wine cellar with no problem.

Don't know. We keep our wines at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is a cooler, not a refrigerator.)

If it is a well insulated room and on a long time. Better to take temp up from 55 to 65.

Our unit is in an air conditioned room kept at about 78 degrees. It keep a steady cold temp with no problems at a setting less than half way. If you were to put this in a hot garage, and set the temp setting colder, (like for your cold beer?), the unit would probably run most of the time. If the unit's size is Ok for you, it is worth giving a try, even if if lasts you a couple of years. We have a larger unit, an Amana 18ATM fridge-freezer combo in grey finish, in our garage here in Central Florida, and it has been doing well for 2 years now. Hope this helps.

I use mine in a very damp cellar area. By virtue of lowering the humidity level from 82% to an average of 45%, my cellar does have a cool yet dry feel now but the air from the dehumidifier does have a somewhat warm feel to it.
