CellarPro® 1800XT Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

Replaced Wine enthusiast Grand Cru 800 with CellarPro 1800XT
I recently replaced the cooling unit in my BYO wine cabinet with the CellarPro 1800XT. The cooling unit the cabinet came with is the wine enthusiast Grand Cru 800. The Grand Cru has a very poor design, I had to make modifications to the cool air output to get it to work correctly from the beginning. After about a year and a half the Grand Cru colling unit stopped being able to cool the cabinet, and started freezing up. I thought this was due to some unusual amount of humidity, but it was not. I aired out the cabinet for about a month to see if that would reduce any built up humidity. The cooling unit just would not work.

The CellarPro was quite expensive relative to what I paid for the wine cabinet, but now I guess I know why.

Installing the CellarPro was fairly easy with the correct tools, jigsaw and drill, but I suggest you take your time insulating around the unit to make sure you get a good airtight seal. So here is the best part about the CellarPro...In a cabinet environment like mine this thing hardly runs. Seriously. Every time I walk by the thing it's NOT running and the temperature reads 54-56 degrees. I placed an additional thermometer in the cabinet and it's spot on. When it does run it's very quiet for a...
