Does the job I wanted

I bought this fridge about 6 months ago. I wanted something small primarily for storing red wine that wasn't more expensive. It's not the best shelving for wine bottles; beer cans would fit better, but I don't buy too much wine at a time, and I took out some shelves. Surprisingly, I found the thermostat can be set fine for cold beer, but not warm enough for room-temperature red wine. So I put it on a timer and it's done the job I wanted. I've had no problems with sound because it's in my laundry room.
This makes morning coffee so handy instead of going downstairs for my milk. I may be awake but just not ready to function at top speed. I really like having my few essentials in a close area. The size is easy to put in spot where it isn't so noticable.
I had a cube refrigerator before for wine in my bedroom suite at home, but it was solid state and lasted only about a year, this one has a real compressor and works wonderful! The only thing that would make this better would be racks specific for wine and beer.
Bought this for my office to replace an old mildewed clunker that took up twice the space. So far this unit has performed flawlessly. It's quiet and cools very well. Have absolutely no issues with it and would purchase again.
Great little refrigerator. Cool, quit and efficient with ample space. Miss it ...my daughter took it to college.... and she loves it. May have to get a new one!
I had a small area and this fridge fit it just right. I had tried the compressor free kind they last for a little while. Went thru a couple, will not get that kind any more. Love the Danby, it is one of the top 10 fridge. Works great.
I bought this refrigerator as a place to store fishing bait in my garage. In the time that I have owned it, I have experienced no problems, except for once when I allowed some items to come into contact with the coils, and the interior started icing up. This, however, is not a manufacturing defect, but a user-controlled condition. I merely had to defrost the unit, re-arrange the contents so that they weren't touching the coils, and I have not had any further problems with icing.
I like my drinks really cold. This unit works so good, I need to turn it down a little so the drinks don't freeze. I would definitely buy another Danby.
