Quick Answer: Breezaire’s current WKL lineup covers four cellar sizes with the same through-the-wall, self-contained design: the WKL 1060 ($2,148, up to 140 cubic feet) for closets and under-stair cellars, the WKL 2200 ($2,437, up to 265 cubic feet) as the best overall fit for a typical home cellar, the WKL 3000 (around $3,055-$3,322, up to 650 cubic feet) for larger rooms, and the WKL 4000 ($3,521, up to 1,000 cubic feet) for the biggest residential installs. All four carry the same 5-year parts / 1-year labor warranty. The detail most buyers miss: Breezaire’s own website states it does not recommend buying any of these units from Amazon or eBay, pointing customers to its authorized dealer network instead — a stronger stance than almost any other appliance brand on this site takes about marketplace sellers.
Breezaire already gets a deep look in this site’s wine cellar cooling unit comparison, where the WKL 2200 is the overall pick against CellarPro, WhisperKOOL, and Wine Guardian. This page goes further into the full WKL catalog — including the 650- and 1,000-cubic-foot models that comparison doesn’t break out individually — plus the humidity-control and buying-channel details that apply to the whole series.
By the numbers
- 140 to 1,000 cubic feet is the capacity range across Breezaire’s four current WKL models, direct from Breezaire’s own product specs — a roughly 7x spread from the smallest to the largest.
- 5 years parts / 1 year labor is the warranty on every model in the lineup, confirmed on Breezaire’s own WKL 4000 and WKL 2200 product pages independently — no model gets better coverage than another.
- “Does not add moisture.” Breezaire’s official use-and-care documentation states the WKL series only removes excess humidity; in a dry climate or a poorly sealed cellar, raising humidity requires manually adding a small porous water container, not relying on the unit itself.
- 0 marketplaces recommended. Breezaire’s own site states plainly it does not recommend purchasing from Amazon or eBay — authorized dealers only — despite Breezaire being one of the few cooling-unit brands with any Amazon presence at all.

1. Breezaire WKL 2200 — Best Overall
Breezaire WKL 2200 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
- Sized for the cellar most home buyers actually build — a converted room or closet in the 200-265 cubic foot range, properly insulated.
- 50-60°F adjustable thermostat with the Sentry III control system, which shuts the unit down on blocked airflow rather than running a clogged condenser into failure.
- 55 lb, mounts through a single wall opening with no refrigerant lines to run — the simplest install in this lineup short of the smaller WKL 1060.
While you’re sourcing the cooling unit through a dealer, a starter dual-zone wine fridge for the kitchen can ship a lot faster — get your wine fridge in two days by trying Amazon Prime free for 30 days.
Before buying the cooling unit itself through that Amazon link or any other marketplace listing, read the buying-channel section below — Breezaire’s own guidance on this is more specific than you’d expect.
2. Breezaire WKL 1060 — Best for Closets & Small Cellars
Breezaire WKL 1060 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
- The smallest unit in the current WKL range, sized for closet conversions and under-stair cellars rather than full rooms.
- Shares the same 50-60°F range, Sentry control electronics, and digital display as the larger WKL units in a lighter 45 lb chassis.
- One of the only Breezaire models with any live Amazon listings at all — though see the buying-channel note below before treating that as the default purchase route.
If your “cellar” is really a cabinet rather than a sealed room, a cooling unit is the wrong product entirely — see our under-counter wine fridge roundup instead.
3. Breezaire WKL 3000 — Best for Mid-to-Large Cellars
Breezaire WKL 3000 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
- 1,800-3,000 BTU cooling capacity, more than double the WKL 2200's footprint rating, for cellars closer to 500-650 cubic feet.
- 48-63°F adjustable range with the newer Sentry III+ control system and automatic defrost.
- Priced in a real gap between Breezaire's residential-scale WKL 2200 and the largest WKL 4000 — the step to take once a cellar outgrows a single-room conversion.
4. Breezaire WKL 4000 — Best for the Largest Home Cellars
Breezaire WKL 4000 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
- 4,000 BTU cooling capacity rated for cellars up to 1,000 cubic feet — the ceiling of Breezaire's self-contained through-the-wall range before a split or ducted system becomes the better fit.
- 115V/7A draw is the heaviest in the WKL lineup — confirm a dedicated circuit can carry it before framing the wall opening, the same planning step CellarPro's split systems require at a larger scale.
- Same 5-year parts / 1-year labor warranty as the smallest WKL 1060 — capacity scales up without any change to coverage.
How to choose a Breezaire cooling unit — and where to buy it
- Size by the room you actually built, not the label on the box. Breezaire’s cubic-foot ratings assume a properly insulated, sealed cellar. A glass door, exterior wall, or recessed lighting all add heat load no capacity number accounts for — size up a tier if any of those apply.
- Don’t expect the unit to raise humidity in a dry room. Every WKL model removes excess moisture as a byproduct of cooling; none of them actively add it. In a naturally humid, well-sealed cellar this isn’t an issue, but in an arid climate or an under-sealed room, Breezaire’s own instructions call for a small porous water container as the fix — not a settings change on the unit.
- Read the buying-channel guidance before you order. Breezaire’s own site says it does not recommend purchasing from Amazon or eBay, specifically pointing to its authorized dealer network — a stronger, more explicit stance than this site has found on most other cooling-unit or wine-fridge brands. Warranty service is tied to dealer registration, so this isn’t just marketing language to ignore.
- Warranty coverage is identical across the range. Every current WKL model carries 5 years of parts coverage and 1 year of labor, so stepping up in capacity from the 1060 to the 4000 doesn’t cost you anything in coverage terms — unlike CellarPro’s split systems, which drop coverage as price rises.
We checked CPSC.gov for active recalls: no current recall applies to any Breezaire wine cellar cooling unit as of this writing.
The bottom line
For most home cellars, the Breezaire WKL 2200 ($2,437, up to 265 cubic feet) is the right call — the size most converted rooms land at, a straightforward through-the-wall install, and the same warranty as every other model in the range. Go smaller with the WKL 1060 ($2,148) for a closet or under-stair space, or larger with the WKL 3000 (about $3,055-$3,322) or WKL 4000 ($3,521) as the room grows toward 650 or 1,000 cubic feet. Whichever size you need, buy it through an authorized Breezaire dealer rather than a marketplace listing — that’s Breezaire’s own stated guidance, not just a general rule of thumb for appliances.
