Can I use in a wine cellar to maintain 70% humidity?

Yes, but depending on where you live, the size of your wine cellar, and the ambient humidity levels, you will be filling it a lot. I finally gave up and switched to an auto-fill, wick style humidifier. I also keep my cellar at 60% humidity.

That is exactly what I bought this for! Set it in the room and make sure the sensor is located away from the direction of the vapor. It may require more than one fill of water. I run the cord outside of the door to the room and carefully close the door on the cord. I have a humidity meter which I keep in the room. My company actually sells these if you are interested. (www.mbhes.com) I check the humidity from time to time to see when I need to add more. I try to keep the humidity level above 60%. My cellar is about 60 sq feet so this is not difficult and certainly way cheaper than an automatic system- That is exactly what I bought this for!

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.

In a small wine cellar 100 sq ft or less it will with the proper ventilation.

I have had a lot of luck with keeping my unit on low then moving it up to medium. I have the unit in a room and not in an open area. Our house usually starts at 35% humidity and I set it to go to 45% to 50% and it usually gets there within a couple hours.

My basement is probably about 1200 sq ft. The EDV-4000 pulls 2 liters out of the air in less than a day. That keeps my basement at about 60% relative humidity at 70 degrees F, which is good enough to keep it from smelling musty. I think it could get to lower RH or handle a bigger room if it was connected to drain continuously. The thing that seems to be limiting it is that the tank is fairly small. Since I don't empty it more than once a day, it can only do 2 liters a day. Overall I'm really happy with it. It's much smaller and quieter than my old compressor dehumidifier.

I use distilled water to spray the inside cover every few days. It holds a nice 60 - 70 humidity..and I'm in the desert.

I agree with the other respondents, the unit needs plenty of air circulation in order to keep the wine at the desired temp. An under the counter situation would be marginal.

I have stored boxes of cigars in coolers before and have found that they are easy to humidify. I would think this will work well.

I always keep mine in a cool place. My cellar is about 45-55 degrees. Never had a problem. I keep it is a closed container. Hope this helps.

I would be careful about putting the wine cooler in a cabinet as I believe it needs some ventilation to work properly. I have had my wine coller for about four months and have detected no leaks as yet.

Yes, to a limit, it will take out a small amount of humidity in the storage container.

no, to prevent the humidity, you could open window or let the door open to make sure the room is vented properly. I sometime put a glass of water in front of the heater to have the moisture in the room

It probably depends on how much humidity you have. The instructions say each unit removes up to 7 liters of water per day. We have a large living/dining room with cathedral ceilings. We have several musical instruments that require humidity to be maintained between 40-60%. We use two units. On Auto mode they usually keep the humidity between 55-60%. So the units are great for our needs. I should warn you that the conversion of vapor to water does release heat, so it also warms the room a few degrees depending on how much humidity it is removing. There is also a low mode that is very quiet and keeps our humidity around 60%, and there is a high mode that we don't use.

I live in FL where it is very humid and it works fine. Just make sure you rinse well and use Grapeseed Extract to prevent mold.

I have used it to store wine between rackings and it works fine. I have kept wine in these bottles for about 3 months without problem. If you want to age nicely, try a wooden barrel.

This unit is great for increasing the humidity in a room. Do NOT expect it to cool the room.
