Great Reliable Sturdy Mini-Fridge!
on May 6, 2026
Posted by: djs83

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SOME CONCERNS
on April 10, 2026

from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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!

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your review. We’re glad to hear that your new fridge is working well in your basement and that it reached the proper temperature within the first day that’s exactly what we like to see. It’s great that the construction quality meets your expectations, even if the width was slightly smaller than what you originally hoped for.
We appreciate your note about the shelf bracket spacing. Feedback like this helps us understand how customers use their space and what improvements could make future models even more convenient.
Thank you for choosing Danby. We hope the fridge continues to serve your household reliably for many years.
Regards,
Earl – Danby CSR
