Is this ok for longer term storage and aging of reds? Is vibration a problem because of the compressor?

I don 't know about aging...we drink it too fast. Vibration is not a problem for ours.

Ali I'm not a wine expert but do like wine. I don't know about the storage or aging of reds. The fridge maintains temp within a couple degrees of what you set. There is a little vibration when compressor runs and it is a little louder then some people might like. I find it acceptable for my needs. Hope that helps.

Hi. Noise and vibration is not a problem at all, I find it to be very quite. This works very good for my purposes BUT I am not aging $100+ bottles of wine or anything. I'm not really that sophisticated. Good luck.

I live in a humid climate and have not experienced this. My rack is in a utility room which is insulated but which I shut off to save utility costs. I use it 2-3 times a week with damp items. I was very fond of my wooden one which mildewed and. broke down after years of service. This one is performing like a champ.

The storage unit works great with the machine on top and the vibration from the espresso unit doesn't have a negative effect. I really like the storage unit.

the one I have is alot quieter than a regular compressor.one with 60 dB may be quieter ,but may not be as good for the work .

We run our compressors to cycle between 115psi off and 95psi on,have not had any problems yet ,keep it lubricated

Hi. I never use greens, they fail to quickly. Red is ok, ensure you are ok with RPM. I tried 6tb red, didn't work. 4tb is max from my experience. I have two of these, work best on eSATA. Enjoy.

I've owned mine for close to 4 years and used it hundreds of times. Even though I run it outside (in Florida, where the humidity is high), I have not had any problems with it. Overall, I'd say it's built really well.

Hello Sacha, usually a very quiet compressor is chosen for your purpose, and this is a very quiet unit. However, it should be placed in an adjoining room to save floor space, and minimize sound even more. I should tell you however, there is a type of compressor that is made specifically for your purpose. Although it usually cost much more, it is also even more quiet in operation. It is a compressor that is used for the Refrigeration industry as well, and you know how quiet your refrigerator is, right? I don't have a specific name or brand to suggest, but I know they are out there, if you look for them. Try looking for a Rotary type that may even be linked to dental equipment in Amazon's search engine. Now, if it were me, I would save the money and just put this Cal. Compressor in a closet, but you must decide for yourself. Good luck Sacha.

Assuming it's protected from rain and wind and GFI protected, why not? If I were to do it, I'd apply a coat of really good polymer automobile wax, depending upon where you live. If it's very humid or salty-air, anything can rust. I've had mine for a year and it works great. Word to the wise...it makes a bit of noise when the compressor runs, which I traced to the removable drip tray, accessible from the back. I finally used a rubber band around the tray which seems to keep it tight and very quiet.

Long term storage is not an issue as long as it is tightly sealed. As with most volitile petroleum products, it will evaporate.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

Yes, it should be fine. It is a very good unit and it should last indefinitely. It a large unit and not really portable.

It's great for cabinets. It doesn't need a compressor. You need a finer tip though

It's built pretty well and may hold up to that kind of use, but ultimately it's a home machine. It's a calculated risk. It may hold up for years. It may not. Regular cleaning and de-liming should improve your odds.

I picked up factory reconditioned Bostitch compressor here on Amazon. It looked new out of the box and it's performed well. A little over hundred bucks.

I used it heavily for 6 or 8 months, and it's been stored for the next 6 or 8 months, so I can't say for very long term use. However, one of the reasons I chose it is that small parts can easily be replaced, rather than junking the whole thing as you'd have with a cheaper brand. I've also used others' sealers like FoodSaver and I can tell you this one is much better quality.

I keep mine in a front room that was a garage, ideally it should be kept at a lower temp but i would only seeing it affect its life at that temp. Perhaps get 1 year or so out of it vs. 2-3.
