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.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

It appears to be a nice well laid out small fridge. It' keeping its temperature so far (I've had it for about a week).

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
