I use two 12 bottle vino's and have great luck in the winter keeping at 60% and ambient temp of room with units unplugged from outlet, I keep as high as machine will regulate in the summer without being too cold...about 63-55.. harder to regulate humidity in summer but if I keep the units in a cooler area... no problem just unpluggin there too in the summer.
over a year on the first and about 6 months on the second, about a 1lb 1/2 beads in each cooler
