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

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 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.)

No. It's supposed to cool to 32 degrees below ambient temperature-- eg: if it's 76 in the room where it's placed, it's supposed to cool to 44 degrees (but I find mine cools a little less efficiently-- perhaps 28 degrees below ambient?)

I only used the heater for one night to take the chill off, and it did, our unit, the 12000 btu, cooled a 2100 sq ft house on a low setting of 70 and the house was at 67 degrees. I think it will do it in that small space, I am very well insulated with spray foam and 10 in thick walls, we do not have a furnace, in Iowa/Nebraska!

That would depend on the outside temperature, height of the ceiling and thickness of home insulation. I turn on air-conditioning when it's 84F outside, so I haven't experimented with heating any room to that temperature, however I can get my similar-sized room with a 12-ft. ceiling (at the peak) up to 70F on a chilly day. I wouldn't want to use these heaters as a main heat source under extreme conditions--at least not for long, and use mine as back-up assistance to our LP gas furnace in winter as well as for taking the chill off on cold spring or fall mornings.

Note that it keeps things cooler than "ambient temperature" by 32 degrees. So, a lot depends on how warm the room is where you have it. If it's in a sunny place or in the sun in particular, it's not going to keep anything very cool.

Well it is a wine frig, you can set it to 55 degree not sure if it's thermoelectric just use it to keep wine at the correct temp

The temp inside will depend on the temp outside. If it is in your house, and your room is 75 degrees, then the cooler should be a cool 45 degrees or so. If you put it where the ambient temp is 60 or below, then it should get cold.

I live in Minnesota and use this to help heat a small basement apartment. Without it the temp is about 54 degrees, (outside temps -0) with it, the apartment heats to around 70. I am very very happy with my Duraflame!

My garage is 24 x 24, insulated w/ 10' ceiling. I live in Louisiana and the coldest it's gotten is about 32 degrees. I can get my garage up to 80 degrees in less than an hour.

These units use thermoelectric cooling which are only able to reduce the interior temperature about 20 degrees F below the outside temperature. Mine maintains an internal temperature of about 55 degrees F. This is a good temperature for medium to long term storage but will not cool to white wine serving temperature. I put my white wines in my refrigerator about an hour before serving to bring it down to serving temperature. Thermoelectric cooling uses much less energy and is quieter than the liquid coolant systems in home refrigerators but have a more limited cooling range. I am still very pleased with my unit as is does a great job of storing my wines and looks great in the house but if you need something to chill into the low 40's then I recommend looking for a unit that uses a liquid refrigerant.

Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets. You didn't state how insulated the area is or if the garage is attached. My garage is a large 3 car attached and well insulated garage with a 12' ceiling. When we are in the low teens (rarely) the temperature in the garage drops to the mid forty's. I'll turn the unit on in the morning and it takes about an hour to bring it up to the upper 50's. Eventually I'll run it till it hits the mid 60's and keep it there throughout the day. If your room is near 0 degrees or poorly insulated, you will need a much bigger heater. Wenatchee sounds pretty cold.... Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets.

I use it on basement LR and it heats gone when we watch tvIt has a couple of fan speeds but we love it. Not loud to us. Very good looking!

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.

Not sure about the highest temps but we keep our set at 54 and our wine is not to cold or to warm. my dislike about this cooler is, it is noisy

I would contact the manufacturer or a big retailer who could ask the manufacturer for that kind of information. I live in Vermont where I use it for indoor storage. The room is dark, but I'd say it gets up to 90 on occasion in there. My parents bought one on my recommendation and it's kept in a sunny kitchen, but it's not that hot up the mountain. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.
