Small drink fridge that is perfect for the small space.
Bought for a drink fridge for the Grand kids and it is perfect. Fits on the end of the counter matches the appliances in the kitchen and runs quiet. Great addition.

Great Reliable Sturdy Mini-Fridge!
I love that this is a refrigerator only model. Its very spacious. The fridge was protected sufficiently in the packing box. The individual can holder is pretty nifty - I find that the ones that have a drop down sleeve versus the can holders tend to break more easily in my experience. I owned a previous iteration of this updated model and loved it as well.

Great item if you don’t need a freezer
Great item If you don’t need a freezer. The temperature can vary quite a bit with it on the same setting is my only complaint

SOME CONCERNS
JUST PURCHASED A NEW ONE BECAUSE THE ONE PURCHASED 18 MONTHS AGO BEGAN LEAKING OIL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REFRIGERATOR AND INSIDE OF IT. IT SAYS IT IS SELF DEFROSTING BUT THIS UNIT BEGAN ACCUMULATING ICE INSIDE ABOUT 9 MONTHS AFTER USAGE.

Great fridge so far!
Only had fridge for a week but so far very happy with it. Very easy to reverse the door opening. I like not having the small freezer as there is more space.

Nice small fridge for basement.
Overall very nice product. I found this after doing online reviews of small refrigerators. It is a bit smaller ( I was looking for 24 inches wide) than I wanted, but it had good reviews. It seems well constructed and after 16 hrs, it has reached the desired temperature. I think the interior shelf bracket spacing could be better to accommodate tall bottles but that is a minor issue in our situation.

We hope the fridge continues to serve your household reliably for many years. Regards, Earl – Danby CSR

Great, good-looking fridge!
This is our second Danby compact fridge. The first lasted us 8 years, so we decided to buy the same model because we liked it so much.

Great little bar fridge!
I'm replacing a Danby fridge that must be 10 years old that has worked flawlessly and this fridge is almost exactly the same in style which I definitely like. It is all fridge storage which is what I wanted as the old one had the same feature. It's built well and now has a white interior which makes it easier to see as opposed to my old one which was black. Great little bar fridge.

Great little fridge
This is the 3rd Danby compact fridge. It replaces a Danby compact fridge that is over ten years old. Great product! Second one is still going strong.

Great mini fridge.
Danby is the only mini fridge brand that I trust. Good product, and easy to operate. Look great and fits my space. Auto defrost is very important. Quality product.
