Some units I've looked at purchasing advise against garage storage. We live in Long Beach, CA near the ocean. Would that be OK with this unit?

I have 3 such smallish wine coolers; a Haier, a Vinotemp and this Danby. The Danby is the quietest and generally the nicest of the 3. It is placed inside the house which can get rather warm during summer days.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.

I have mine in my garage in Tampa. It is doing fine. The Temp is consistent and I have had no problems. Good luck

I live near the water on Bainbridge Island in Washington state, the unit has been in my garage for almost a year and we've had no issues with maintaining temp or any other issue. I did locate as far away from other heat generating appliances just in case. I have a smaller unit that has been in my garage for six years with no issues.

I can't really say for sure. But the reason they say the garage isn't good is because they do not have heaters in them for sub freezing temps. If your garage is always above 50 degrees I would think any unit would be fine.

I keep mine in a front room that was a garage, ideally it should be kept at a lower temp but i would only seeing it affect its life at that temp. Perhaps get 1 year or so out of it vs. 2-3.

I would say, yes. I know mine has been effective and I store mine in a garage where the temps reach into the high 90's in the summer.

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

Yes, it should be fine. It is a very good unit and it should last indefinitely. It a large unit and not really portable.

I would put it in a vented enclosure if its for a beach house. Hope this helps. :-)

I do not think it would work in a Garage. I built a mount for both of the panels to use at my Storage area to keep my batteries topped off. It worked to keep them charged up but it was not in a Garage.I really do not think it would work in a Garage unless you had the panels Outside and Wired into the garage.

I have mine in my garage.... It supports well the heat on sumner. If it's for an open area, but protected from the rain and direct sun, it should be ok.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that since we keep ours inside. We did consider putting it in the garage. We decided against it because we wanted to keep the garage for the cars instead of making it a gym.

I don't know if it's "recommended", but this is what we decided to purchase for storage: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007MG9IS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

if it's insulated I would go with a 12000 btu unit,if not go for the 18000 btu unit. I purchased a pioneer 18000 btu unit for a 750 square foot garage and it does the job.

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)

I think it works better in the drier climates. The unit is large and is meant more for the garage or work areas. A portable AC would cool better. This is too loud to use in a house. This is an evaporative cooler, not a swamp cooler.

The base unit is a little black box that doesn't have the tightest seal so I wouldn't put it too close to wet areas. Probably best if you put it in a cupboard or fasten it under something.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

I briefly left one of our units outside on a covered porch. It did OK. I wound up bringing into a garage. It would probably be OK outside, but I felt better to have ours out of the elements and out of view from neighbors, etc (glowing red light on the porch)>

Hey Rick, I assume it is a walk-in vault, this Dry Wave unit I have is good for up to 1000cf if you have power and fresh air intake I don't see why it would not work. Keep in mind that it does raise the ambient temp somewhat and runs constantly. Your call, if you try it I'd like to know if it works.
