I give it excellent rating
I previously owned this exact Danby Model to refrigerate beer on lake porch, it lasted 6&1/2 years, 3 years longer than previous (brand). It I previously owned exact Danby model for refrigerating beer on Lake porch, it keep beer good & cold had no problems. It lasted 6&1/2 years, 3 years longer that previous brand that did not cool as well and space limited to 30 pack. Danby holds new 30 pack plus 8 or 10 left over from last pack. I just purchased new Danby and was glad they had exact same model.

Great Mini Fridge with One Exception
Very happy with the mini fridge so far just hoping it will last for a long time. Like the color and adjustable shelves, and the option for a large bottle. Would prefer it not to have the can dispenser since we very rarely drink out of cans. That is the only reason not 5 stars now although awaiting longevity.

Sweet little fridge.
Solidly built, whisper quiet, plenty of capacity. Set up, adjusting for level and temperature was easy, as was the online warranty registration. An excellent value.

Fantastic Mini Fridge
This small mini fridge is perfect for our downstairs. Previously had one with a small freezer which was not practical for our needs. Plus it was inconvenient to defrost the freezer. Now we have total usable space to store our drinks. Very happy with this mini fridge!

Compact Refrigerator
This is an excellent bar refrigerator that I have had for over 10 years. We have it in our bedroom to keep bottled water and other drinks. Would highly recommend this compact refrigerator

Very good refrigerator - bad control placement
This refrigerator does a great job of keeping things cold. The only problem I have is that the temperature control is on the outside, on the top right hand corner. As this sits on a shelf unit, accessing the control is very difficult - both to see and to adjust. The marking on the control doesn't help to identify which way is colder. Since adjusting a refrigerator is always time consuming - adjust it and wait, repeat - until it is at the desired temperature, this is really inconvenient.

Keeps freezing half of my things..
This fridge was great for the first few months but now it keeps freezing random items in it. It's strange because the placement doesn't seem to matter, just certain things freeze and some don't. My carrots turned into tiny ice nuggets and my milk is a giant carton of slush. Not fun. Don't recommend (unless you like eating the icy versions of your favorite snacks, of course).

Great refrigerator!
Very nice size, holds a lot of drinks and doesn't have the freezer taking up space and creating extra work to defrost.

GREAT REFRIGERATOR FOR KEEPING BEVERAGES
CONSTANTLY HAD TO DEFROST OLD REFRIG BECAUSE IT HAD A FREEZER SECTION AND WE USUALLY HAD WET MESS TO CLEAN UP IN GARAGE AT THE LAKE. DANBY IS GREAT. NO FREEZER SECTION TO DEAL WITH AND MORE BEVERAGE HOLDING CAPACITY.
