Key Features

Breezaire WKCE 1060 – Compact, Reliable Cooling for Wine Cabinets

The Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a compact, high-performance wine cabinet cooling unit designed for collectors who need dependable, quiet, and precise climate control in smaller storage spaces. Built to cool up to 140 cubic feet, it maintains stable temperature and humidity levels without the noise or footprint of larger systems.

Precise Temperature Control

The WKCE 1060 keeps your cabinet within the ideal temperature range for proper wine aging. It can cool up to 25°F below the ambient temperature on the exhaust side, ensuring your wine stays at a safe, stable temperature even when the surrounding environment runs warm. This prevents sudden temperature swings that can damage flavor and aroma.

Automatic Humidity Management

Humidity is maintained automatically. The unit balances natural moisture removal and addition, using evaporative moisture from a small porous water container in drier conditions—no additional humidifiers required. This helps protect cork integrity and prevents label deterioration.

Compact, Quiet, and Low-Vibration Design

With bottom cold-air discharge, the WKCE 1060 fits perfectly in cabinets and other tight spaces. It operates with minimal noise and vibration, allowing wine sediment to settle properly while keeping your cellar peaceful.

Easy Installation and Smart Features

Key features include the Sentry III digital thermostat, user-adjustable temperature settings, and built-in power outage protection for added peace of mind. Installation is simple—just plug the unit into a standard 115V AC outlet, with no special wiring or plumbing needed.

Reliable and Long-Lasting

Overall, the Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a reliable, compact cooling solution built specifically for wine cabinets. It’s ideal for collectors who want quiet, precise performance and long-term protection for their wine.

Replacement and Upgrade

The WKCE 1060 is a direct replacement for the Breezaire WKC 1060 and OEM 1060 models, making it a perfect upgrade or drop-in replacement.

Scale Up for Larger Cabinets

Looking for extra cooling capacity? The Breezaire WKCE 2200 delivers the same quiet performance with increased power for larger wine cabinets.
