Comments about Danby Danby Compact Refrigerator:

I like this refrigerator a lot. The compressor is abit noisy but otherwise I'm satisfied. Be careful about getting cans of soda too close to the metal shield in the back covering the refer coils -- I had a soda can freeze and burst; now I leave an inch or so space in the back.

Comments about Danby Danby Compact Refrigerator:

Not having a freezer is a great benefit since it gives you more room. The freezer in most mini-fridges are worthless; so I think it is better to not have one.

The self defrosting is worth the price premium.

Comments about Danby Danby Compact Refrigerator:

Replaced another small refrig which required occasional defrosting due to useless freezer section. Even though this unit in cu ft was smaller it does store as much as a much larger due to no unusable freezer space.

Great little Fridge

By BBQJohn

from Downers Grove, Il on 11/27/2006

Pros:

Adjustable Shelving, Door Shuts Securely, Frost Free, Quiet, Space For Tall Items

Cons:

DIfficult to set temp

Best Uses:

Beverages

Comments about Danby Danby Compact Refrigerator:

Bought this fridge to keep beer and wine cold in the bar. It was the largest size I could get into the cutout opening in our bar. Seems like a quality unit compared to other small fridges. Fits 2 bottles of wine in door and about 2 cases of beer in cans and bottles. Took a while to get the temp set correctly but once set running fine.
