Self Contained Rear / Top Vent Cooling Unit 1800QTL-ECX #1151

The unit was well pack and arrived quickly. It works very well in my insulated garage where my wine cabinet resides, and keeps a steady temperature while running quietly.

wow great service 2 months left on warranty called and they were so helpful. they shipped replacement same day that they got my e mail. replacement arrived across US in 5 days to me and they enclosed return shipping to them. They make it so easy Thanks

I like to keep my wine at 55 degrees (I drink mostly red wine and I like to drink it at that temperature).
I have a 180 bottle cabinet and so far I am extremely pleased as the unit seems to work exactly as
described.

I suppose I hold the record of Breezeaire longevity as mine lasted 17 years and survived two moves across the country. I researched both products, well, as good as I could research. Internet is not filled with chat rooms or blogs about wine cooling. The old unit came out easily and the new one went in just as easy. Super quiet compared to the older unit and the compressor is not running full bore like the last one did - it actually cycles on/off like it should. It is holding temp well after a little over a week and I have no issues. I like the power outlet on the side that permitted me to upgrade the lighting inside to an LED strip. So far so good, I would recommend this product for a replacement of Breezaire models. It would be best if we all could provide another review in 3-5 years and report performance. I won't give 5 stars, as I always believe there is room for improvement. Perhaps to increase longevity one could alter the construction of the components inside to prevent corrosion in either model, as I hear the lifespan on these units is about 10 years, give or take. I would think a simple compressor unit for the price paid here would be able to double that life span and easily get 20 years. Perhaps extending the warranty to stand by the product (10-15 years in lieu of 5). There's always room to improve or over-engineer a product like this to make it a "once & done" purchase for a wine storage unit.

My 1800QTL performed flawlessly before failing 4 1/2 years into the 5 year warranty period. It was quick and painless to receive a replacement unit. Much better performance and reliability than my old Breezaire. You cannot go wrong with CellarPro!

I just wanted to say thanks for making the replacement of my old dead Breezaire 1060 so simple and easy!

I followed all the directions in your Operator Manual and things went smoothly and easily. I had the Breezaire replaced with my new CellarPro in an hour, and this included removing the center post.

You guys do a great job and I will most definitely recommend you to any of my friends who need to replace the Breezaire in their wine cabinet.

Thanks again so much!

Terrific customer service. Arrived in a timely manner, easy instructions to replace my old Breezaire 1060, very easy to install, fit perfectly and has been working great since I "plugged it in." Definitely recommend it over the Breezaire.

Excellent customer service and lead time

I have a 2001 LaCache 400 that had a Breezaire 1060. It worked well until the unit started to freeze up a month ago. I called and talked with Joanne. She was wonderful in answering all my questions. When the unit arrived, it was 45 minutes from check out the new unit to pulling the Breezaire and installing the QTL. I did have a problem with the old clips. There was no way to grab a striped bolt. So I cut the old one and slid the clip a few inches. Also, save as much of the old sealant as you may need it. The unit is working very well so far.

Works great! Should have the optional magnetic air filter included with purchase. Increase the purchase price if necessary.

When my Breezaire 1060 died just after the warranty expired, I chose the CellarPro, avoiding any more Breezaire products. No problems installing this unit. Works well so far.

My BA was toast w/out any hope of replacement. I did some on-line searching and found the CellarPro, called them up, and had it installed in a matter of days. Excellent service and product.

The 'drop-in' replacement was slightly different. The existing clips I had required me to remove the front bezel of the QTL. That worked great. However, after the installation the bezel wouldn't quite line up with the fastening holes. The clips caused the bezel to be offset slightly. I managed to make it work but it would have been better to have the top of the bezel be 1/16" shorter than the unit.

I wasn't quite sure exactly where the butyl caulking was to be placed for sealing - the intake, exhaust, or both. There wasn't enough to seal them separately but that was more than likely a user error on my part. A photo would have helped with that.

I bought a 10 yr old used cellar with a Wine-Mate 2500 in it, the 1800 QTL fit perfectly and was very easy to install. Came with plenty of sealant (just make sure you roll it!). Unit works great and is very quiet.

Really easy to install the replacement for a Breezaire 1060. It almost fit perfectly. With just a file to make the opening slightly larger, I had it in very quickly. The noise level is much quieter than the 1060! It cooled the cellar down is only a couple of hours. Well worth the money!

Service was excellent. Unit performing as per specs so far.

This is my very first wine cellar cooling unit. The instructions made sense and the installation was as easy as could be expected. The unit is quiet and seems to work very well. The room is only about 45 cubic feet and the unit is rated for 80 cubic feet so it's good it cools quickly and efficiently. NOW the PROBLEMS! To my knowledge just about EVERY application for this needs a drain!! Why this wouldn't come preinstalled is a complete JOKE! It seems they want to price the unit as low as possible and then sell you all the "optional" accessories that are actually a necessity at a much higher price than they are worth! Thankfully I am smart enough to install my own drain and not be taken advantage of by their $75 factory or $100 after delivery kit. Price the unit complete with all that is needed!

Very pleased with the performance so far, and it is no louder than the Breezaire it replaced. Straight forward controls, and and easy exchange of old to new unit without any modifications. I just hope that I get more than 3 years out of this brand than the last two Breezaires.

We also replaced an old Breezaire unit with we had continual problems with. This unit is nice, sleek, and very quiet. The instructions were clear but we thought the kit that came with did not have enough sealing putty nor clear instructions as to how to use it.

fit perfectly where the Breezaire unit was. Very quiet. Installation instructions clear and straightforward.

The Grand Cru 800 cooling unit died in the Wine Enthusiast -BYO cabinet about 4 months after the warranty ran out. Bryan, at IWA, recommended the 1800QT. The unit arrived with no problems, and following all the instructions, I was able to modify the hole in my Cellar to accept the slightly larger 1800QT, and got it installed without any issues. (I just needed a drill, a jigsaw, and a screw driver).

The 1800QT runs about 75% less than the Grand Cru 800 did, and it's much quieter when it is running. I am very happy with the purchase, and I am very pleased with the service I received from IWA. Bryan was in constant contact, with updates about shipping, and checking to make sure the unit was received in good condition.

Relaced a Breezaire unit which had failed after 3 years of use. Installation straight forward and very easy. New unit much quieter. Works great.

Read through reviews and comments and chose CellarPro to replace the Breezaire cooling unit in my Le Cache wine cooler. Shipped promptly and installed in about 45 minutes--perfect fit. Extra hands might have simplified, but not difficult to do by myself.

Wow! What a difference!! This unit is super quiet and efficient. Extremely happy with my purchase. If you need a new unit this is it!!

After fighting cheap systems for too long, I invested in this cooling unit. Since it's a little larger than the original systems some cabinet modifications were necessary, but nothing major. It's been in service for about a week and working well.. It's a little noisier than I expected, but other than that it works as advertised. My wine is now back down to the proper temperature and all is well. As others have noted, the remote bottle temperature probe is a must to keep the unit from cycling too frequently.

So far, so good. This is working just as advertised. I had to replace my 6 year Breezaire in my LeCache Euro 3800 Z (back vented, purchased in Oct. 2007). I called LeCache and they recommended replacing with the Cellarpro 1800 QTL. It was delivered quickly, installed easily (about 45 minutes), and so far it's working great - hovering steadily between 58 and 62F (using a bottle probe). I like the placement of the digital readout and the controls. Just about a month in, but this is looking so far like a good purchase.
