Breezaire WKCE 1060 Wine Cabinet Cooling Unit

Breezaire WKCE 1060 – Compact Cooling Built for Serious Wine Collectors

The Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a high-performance wine cabinet cooling unit built for collectors who want reliable, quiet, and consistent climate control in compact spaces. Designed to protect up to 140 cubic feet of wine storage, it maintains steady temperature and humidity levels without the noise or complexity of larger systems.

What makes this unit really stand out is its ability to precisely control the temperature, keeping your wine cabinet perfectly chilled within the ideal range for aging. Breezaire has nailed it by creating wine cooling systems that are both efficient and compact, perfect for wine lovers who need dependable performance without taking up too much space.

Here’s the cool part: the Breezaire WKCE 1060 can cool about 25 degrees below the ambient temperature on the venting side. That means even if your room gets warm, your wine stays safe and sound at the right temperature. This helps avoid those abrupt temperature changes that can really mess with your wine’s flavor.

Humidity control? Absolutely covered. This system keeps your wine cellar at the desired enclosure relative humidity by balancing moisture removal and addition. In drier climates, it uses natural evaporation from a small porous water container to add just the right amount of moisture—no noisy humidifiers needed! This means your corks won’t dry out and your labels won’t peel.

The Breezaire WKCE 1060 compact design with cold air discharge at the bottom makes it a perfect fit for cabinets and other tight spaces. Plus, it runs super quietly and with minimal vibration, so your wines can settle peacefully without any disturbance.

With handy features like a digital electronic Sentry III thermostat, adjustable temperature settings, and power outage protection, the WKCE 1060 is designed for ease and peace of mind. It even plugs into a standard 115V AC outlet, so installation is a breeze—no complicated wiring or plumbing required.

All in all, the Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a fantastic, reliable cooling system made just for wine cabinets. It’s the perfect choice for any wine collector looking for a quiet, precise, and compact wine cooling unit to keep their collection in prime condition.

Breezaire WKCE 1060 directly replaces the Breezaire WKC 1060 and OEM 1060 models, making it an ideal upgrade or swap-out solution.
