Wine Guardian DS088 - Duct Split System Wine Cellar Cooling Unit - 60 HZ Review

Are you a wine enthusiast who wants the best for your collection? Check out the Wine Guardian DS088 Ducted Split System Wine Cellar Cooling Unit to create the perfect environment for storing and aging your favorite wines!

NOTE: A qualified contractor is required for installation. The DS088 is a 60Hz system, which is commonly used in most of North America, including the USA and Canada. It has a unit capacity of up to 9,600 BTU/h.

The Wine Guardian DS088 Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling Unit - 60 HZ with ductable fan-coil is perfect for medium-sized wine rooms to large wine cellars with volumes ranging from 800 to 4,500 cubic feet. It's a ducted split wine cooling unit with a maximum capacity of 9,600 BTU/H (2.81 Kilowatts). You must have a qualified contractor install the DS088 Wine Guardian cooling unit.

To ensure your wine collection is in the best condition, it's important to maintain the ideal wine cellar humidity levels. Temperature control alone isn't enough, therefore we advise using Wine Guardian Humidifiers. Although these humidifiers may not be mandatory, we strongly suggest purchasing one for your wine cellar. You have the option of attaching the Integrated Humidifier directly to your DS088 wine cooler unit, or you can opt for the Wine Guardian Freestanding Humidifier if you prefer it to be separate.

Other sizes: Wine Guardian DS025 for 250-2000 cu.ft,  Wine Guardian DS050 for 650-3000 cu.ft, and Wine Guardian DS200 for 1500-7000 cu.ft.

Features:

  • BEHIND THE SCENES CONTROL
    The Ducted Split System is designed to keep your wine collection in perfect condition while also preserving the beauty of your wine cellar. It works behind the scenes, hidden away in a mechanical room or outside the cellar, so it doesn't take up valuable wine storage space. This means you can appreciate the craftwork of your wine cellar without any equipment getting in the way.
    Behind The Scenes Control - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
    Ducted Split systems are the most flexible cooling unit available. It can be installed in any wine storage space, no matter the location or design. It's ideal for wine cellars with these restrictions:
     - Limited space in the mechanical room
     - Difficulties with exhausting the condenser air
     - Long duct runs
    Engineered for Maximum Flexibility - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER MADE FOR EACH OTHER
    The Ducted Split system has two separate units: an evaporator and a condenser. Wine Guardian created both units to work together. They are made with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials that can withstand temperatures below 40°F/4°C.
    Evaporator and Condenser - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • INSTALLATION EFFICIENCY
    Ducted Split systems are easy and efficient for licensed contractors to install. It's similar to standard residential ducted mini split systems, with the evaporator and condenser sections connected by copper tubing. This makes the installation process familiar. If you need to mount the wine cooling unit against a wall or ceiling, there are multiple duct configurations possible without having to remove any internal components.
    Installation Efficiency - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • A SILENT GUARDIAN
    Wine Guardian is like a loyal knight from the olden days, guarding your wine room day and night. It has air sensing technology and a modern remote interface controller that continuously monitors the temperature and humidity of your cellar. If the conditions didn't meet the optimal range, the cooling system will bring it to the ideal wine cellar temperature. Your wine collection will never be at risk.
    A Silent Guardian - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • FULL CONTROL IN ANY ROOM
    The remote interface controller for the ducted system lets you adjust the temperature and check the humidity levels. The controller uses Wine Guardian's Wireless2Base™ Technology, which means you can place it anywhere that's convenient for you – in the cellar, kitchen, or living room. If you need to measure the temperature and humidity levels outside the cellar, you can connect an additional controller and remote sensors to get accurate readings. This makes it easy to keep an eye on your wine room's conditions from anywhere in your home.
    Controllers - Wine Guardian | Lusso Appliances - Trusted Dealer

  • FULLY SERVICEABLE SYSTEM
    Ducted Split systems have removable panels, front-facing controls, and refrigerant sight glass on the condenser. This makes it easy for servicepersons to make any necessary repairs and move on to the next job. Unlike other brands, Wine Guardian systems can be fully serviced in the field without needing to be returned to the factory.
