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.

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.

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.

Received In Excellent Condition And Looks Good
Unit operates well and when first plugged in it reached the correct temperature within 1hr. There is plenty of room inside with moveable shelves to accommodate taller items. It is working well and like all purchases of whatever you buy out there only time will tell how this fridge demonstrates itself to be a well designed and well manufactured product. So far so good!

Great for "overflow"
This review is based on recent purchase, not extended use experience. Unit is very nice for "overflow" food products when preparing for larger than average (for our household) meals and kitchen frig is full. We opted for 100% refrigerator, no small freezer compartment.

I like it because it doesn't have a freezer taking up space when it's just being used for beverages

Great little fridge
I was pleased to find a compact fridge without a tiny freezer compartment which often doesn’t freeze and doesn’t hold more than a popsicles! This model is much more practical and useful in holding extra food and drinks in addition to our main fridge.
