CellarPro 1800QTL Cooling Unit

Like previous reviewers, I had two failed Breezaires and didn't really want to go that route again. Researched the 1800QTL and it looked like a better choice. I needed someone to install it for me, and he and his helper got it in with no problem. So far it's working perfectly and is very quiet (it's in our family room). There's just a subtle hum when it's running.

Like many other previous reviewers, I replaced a Breezaire WKCE 1060 for my credenza cellar unit. The Breezaire unit was only 7 years old and had been running noisily at 65-67 degrees for the last 10 months (I emptied out the cellar during most of this period). I was advised not worth repairing the Breezaire. For $200 more, I was recommended by an independent dealer to replace it with a CellarPro instead. The CellarPro was installed by a serviceman. He had to enlarged the rear window by 3/8 of an inch. He also had to install an electrical plug to plug-in the light inside the cellar. I have the CellarPro unit for more than 3 weeks now. So far, I am quite happy with the CellarPro unit. It runs very quiet and maintains a constant set temperature. I also suggested the same CellarPro recently to a friend for replacing a Vinotemp cooling system.

This replaced on a 17 year old Breeze Air that had been worked on a couple of times. The old unit at the end ran continuously, kept the wine at about 63 degrees, and was very noisy. The Cellar Pro runs so quietly I need to check to confirm it is running. I removed the old unit by myself with the help of some of the packing styrofoam but needed a helper to install the new unit. It went in easily and using the old clips was a breeze. It fit perfectly in the exisiting opening. The light for our storage unit was wired into the old cooling unit so I needed to spend the princely some of $2 to purchase a new plug. The trip to Home Depot was the most time consuming piece of the installation process. It has been in one week now with no problems. The digital thermometer and control is much better than using a bottle thermometer and screwdriver to set the proper temperature. This unit has the benefit of improved technology but it is much better than the old Breezeaire

After two failed Breezaire units under warranty, I upgraded to the CellarPro. Installation in my LeCache cellar was direct and easy. the new unit is quiter and is working as advertised so far. I like the additional operating features and display information.

I, too, replaced a worn out Breezaire. Installation was easy but it is a 2 man job, though the 2nd person is only needed for guiding and minimal lifting - the lead needs to be able to manipulate 60#. Here are some tips for replacing in a cabinet. If the old unit has clips, re-use them if at all possible - the screw holes are already drilled. The clips from my Breezeaire fitted better than the C'Pro clips. In fact my only criticism of the unit is that one of the new clips was really difficult to install even on the bench. In the event I didn't use it. I used a length of expanded polystyrene pipe insulation as a support for the front of the old unit as I undid the screws. As the weight went on to foam it gradually compressed and lowered the old unit. We got the new unit on to the carpet we were using to protect the top of the racks and then pushed the foam in to lift the front of the unit. One went to the back and guided the strongman manoevering into back opening. We set it flush with the back. As mentioned elsewhere REMOVE the front grille and fit the clips from the OLD unit before putting the unit in the cabinet. You can then slide the clips to line up with the old holes. This worked like a charm for us. We then replaced the front grille. The whole job took less than an hour. Now lets see how it works. Good Luck

I replaced a worn-out Breezeaire 1060 with this unit. Installation was easy...it is a good idea to get someone to help with lifting the unit into place, since it is heavy and you don't want to damage the cooling fins on the back. It works great, is quiet, and doesn't have to work hard at all to maintain proper temperature.

Delivery was very fast, just a couple of days. Installation in my cabinet may have been possible with one person, but it was extremely helpful to have 2 as the 1800 is somewhat heavy and bulky. I removed the old Breezaire 1060 from my cabinet without difficulty (good ridance). I found it necessary to cut ~1/8 of an inch off one edge of the cabinet opening in order to fit the new Cellarpro unit into place. (NOTE: if you install the cooling unit from the front, it will fit perfectly.) The caulking material provided was easy to apply around most of the unit. On the front edge I did need some additional weather stripping that I picked up at the hardware store. With installation complete I turned it on. Works like a DREAM. So efficient. It cycles on about 60-70% of the time to keep my wine a comfortable 57. ( We only air condition the house down to 78.) Drastic improvement over the junky Breezaire unit. I should have replaced it years ago.

Installed my Cellar Pro 1800 this morning by myself and I must say it was pretty damn easy. Nice suprise. I was a little disappointed to see it show up on the delivery truck on it's side, especially since all of the litature says not to do that. You might want to think about adding to your directions to remove the front grill when installing. It makes it very easy to install the clips that way. Now let's see if it lasts.

I purchased the CellerPro 1800 to replace the unreliable Breezaire 1600 in my Le Cache 2400 cabinet. The CellerPro is performing well; however replaceing the Breezaire was difficult. The CellerPro is ever so slightly larger than the Breeziare and would not fit into the back mounting bracket. I had to pry the bracket wider to accept the CellerPro. Other than the installation problem, the unit is working well.

We have been quite pleased with our new CellarPro cooling unit. It arrived promptly, was easy to install, and is keeping our wine at the selected temperature.

The delivery was prompt. I replaced a breezaire 1060 and it could not have been easier. It has nice controls, but the best part is set it and it works great.

The unit did not work when it arrived. The power cord was improperly installed. They sent me a new cord and refused to reimburse for the cost of my electrician disassembling and re-assembling. Telephone manner was terrible. They seemed to imply that I must be crazy to think that they're product was not getting any power.
