Danby DWC518BLS Temperature and Humidity Performance

Summary:

We tested Danby's DWC518BLS wine cooler in temperatures approaching 90°F to see how well the wine cooler would protect wine collections inside the cooler. As illustrated in the chart above:

  • Danby's wine cooler did a very good job maintaining consistent temperatures in two zones for red and white wines.
  • However, wine cooler maintained humidity that averaged just 39.4 percent, vs. the ideal range of 50 to 70 percent humidity for ideal wine storage and aging.

Test Conditions:

    • The wine cooler was tested in an enclosed, climate-controlled test room for 48 hours
    • The wine cooler was filled with 31 bottles (61% capacity)
    • The wine cooler was set to maintain 55°F (upper zone) and 45°F (lower zone).
