I have a large garage, that we closed for a gym. Temp range 50 - 90F .... time of year. It would never get wet; humidity is 80 percent at times. OK?

Yes this will be ok. FamilyPoolFun has a tech support line that can help you at 800 950 2210.

I believe it will be fine. I have mine in a 15' x 20' metal building that I've made in to a she-cave. I have a hot tub and a treadmill along with my sauna and the temperature and humidity inside the building mimic the outside temperature and I haven't had any problems. Works great.

Mine is indoors. However it has developed a few small areas of mold inside, which can be removed with a dilute vinegar solution (5 tbsp to pint of water). I would think that this might be more of a problem in a high humidity environment. You might use a bucket(s) of dehumidifying crystals to reduce the humidity.

most likely. i know most of the people here think the sauna is "complex" but it is simply six panels wired into a power/control box. the wood ispine("canadian hemllock") constrution grade....so easy to patch or fix if there is a humidity problem. the radio is an auto stereo so its is already designed for extreme temp conditions. its a pretty robust set up....kind of like you may find wired to an RV/camper. as long as it is not direct water contact, i see no problem with the temp range you mentioned. if humidity ever DID become a problem, you could add a dehumidifier to the garage space. most likely. i know most of the people here think the sauna is "complex" but it is simply six panels wired into a power/control box. the wood ispine("canadian hemllock") constrution grade....so easy to patch or fix if there is a humidity problem. the radio is an auto stereo so its is already designed for extreme temp conditions. its a pretty robust set up....kind of like you may find wired to an RV/camper. as long as it is not direct water contact, i see no problem with the temp range you mentioned. if humidity ever DID become a problem, you could add a... » Read More most likely. i know most of the people here think the sauna is "complex" but it is simply six panels wired into a power/control box. the wood ispine("canadian hemllock") constrution grade....so easy to patch or fix if there is a humidity problem. the radio is an auto stereo so its is already designed for extreme temp conditions. its a pretty robust set up....kind of like you may find wired to an RV/camper. as long as it is not direct water contact, i see no problem with the temp range you mentioned. if humidity ever DID become a problem, you could add a dehumidifier to the garage space. « Show Less

I use mine in my garage in Central Florida where the humidity is very high most of the year and not had any problems with it. Mine appears to be completely sealed against weather but I suspect it may leak around the contacts where it is plugged in, so never use it outside and exposed to the rain. I use stainless steel bolts, washers and nut on my batteries because they do rust/corrode.

My garage is well insulated just shy of 900 sq. ft. This little heater will have my garage heated to 60+ degrees with the thermostat barely on the medium setting. That is with outside temps in the low 20's.Great heater,don't buy anything else,

I have mine in my garage and for a few weeks during the summer it gets over 90 degrees and so far it's been fine.

I don't believe you would have any problem with this unit at that temperature due to the auto- defrost feature. However, I would not feel comfortable running it for very long at these temperatures. Also when the temp is that low, you usually don't need a dehumidifier. I don't know. Maybe it is different in a garage.

In my experience in a cold garage, the dehumidifier will shut itself off when the temperature falls to approximately 35 - 38 F. It will not turn itself back on when the temperature rises. You have to manually turn it back on again.

Humidity is rated not in degrees of any kind, but as a percentage. It is the same all over the world.

The lowest is about 35 degrees. Just enough to keep things from freezing in the shop. It depends on the amount of space you have, and how well insulated it is. I am heating the equivalent of a one car garage and it is not well insulated. This heater would work better in a insulated garage.

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

Probably depends on your climate. If you get a lot of moister might get water damage. I have mine in Northern CA in our Garage and it works well. I've only had it for a couple of months...I love it.

I would say it depends on how harsh your winters get. If much below freezing, to be on the safe side, I don't think I would. I live in Minneapolis where it can get down below zero so I have kept mine in a heated garage over winter.

I use my Danby in a heated garage with the thermostat set at 50. With the garage doors opening often for two cars to let in or out. I used to have a major problem with moisture on the windows, floor and doors. I do not have anymore problems with moisture now with the Danby.

If the temp is below 50 degrees, this thing will warm the garage slightly...however, it will not work well in a colder garage.

i have this unit in a 25 ft x 25 ft garage; insulated (with 2 doors & windows), concrete floor & 10 ft ceiling.(attic above). it's set on the lowest setting and keeps the temp. around 50 degrees. i wall mounted the unit because i didn't want to damage the dry wall. down side: noisier than i expected, otherwise works well.garage is attached to home.

According to the specifications listed on the unit's web page (http://www.allavino.com/wine-refrigerators/winecooler4059/MWR-541-BL-C.shtml), the ambient temperature range for the unit is 45-80°F. So no, I would not advise placing the unit into a garage that heats up to 90 degrees.
1966249
Yes. We are amazed how much it keeps the heat out. Don't get me wrong, in Texas hot summers it still can get hot in the garage.(in 100 degrees). But it definitely works.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol
