This unit is fairly basic, and you'll never get five bottles per row if you drink pinot or chardonnay and don't flip some bottles around. But at such a reasonable price, it won't matter. Without a built-in thermometer or numeric setting, it takes some time to zero in on the temperature you'd prefer, but once set you never need to deal with that again. I've removed the lowest shelf and use that area for a dozen-plus standing beer bottles, and still fit 24 bottles of wine above that. It's not a noisy unit, and it's been its boring, consistent self for over a year. If your needs can be met with a single-zone cooler, this refrigerator really fits the bill.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stopped working in less than 2 years

We purchased this model for our upstairs media room. In less than 2years it has already stopped working. Disappointed that this product did not work longer. Maybe that’s why it only has a one year warranty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Cjku,
We appreciate you taking the time to give us a review and apologize for the unpleasant experience. Our Danby wine cooler is covered by a 12-month warranty on parts and labor with in-home service. Customers are referred to our authorized service centers to inspect and repair damaged appliances when the appliance's warranty has expired. For more details, please get in touch with our customer service department. You can fill out the form at https://www.danby.com/support/ or send an email to consumerservice@danby.com with your information.
No issues to date but it is less than one year since I purchased it. This is the second wine cooler I purchased in the last three years. The first one only lasted two years while being used six months each year. I am a snowbird so I only used the cooler six months of the year. I am hoping my latest wine cooler purchase will function for approximately 10 years at six months annual use. Hence, I have only given the wine cooler a fair rating as it is too early to measure its longevity.

My Danby wine fridge is an excellent choice for someone who keeps about three cases on hand. A problem with condensation between the glass door panels was resolved quickly with Danby's warrenty process.
So my husband and I hemmed and hawed over buying a "beverage" cooler versus a wine cooler for our craft beer collection. In the end we went with this Fridge from Danby due to two things, the positive reviews of the product for reliabiltiy and also 2) cost. This fridge has worked perfectly for our needs and is not very noisy at all
