Danby DBC117A1BSSDB-6 3.1 Cu.Ft. Freestanding 117-Can Beverage Center Refrigerator

BaerBaer: This fridge fit perfectly in my bar room cabinet. Packaging and setup was easy and self-explanatory. The fridge door has a good seal and it keep the temp between 36-39 degrees when turned to max cooling. The adjustable shelves are nice as is the blue LED, however, if you are putting this in a room where you sleep the blue light is very bright.

In terms of sound this fridge is noticeable when the compressor kicks on and is actively cooling. It’s not enough to be distracting but I have it in my TV room/common area where there’s enough ambient sound to drown it out. If this is going in your office/bedroom or any other space where you need quiet or like to focus it’s going to be distracting.

After 24 hours I had the temp down to 38 degrees empty. Once I loaded it up and left it another 2 days it dropped down to 36. I just wanted a fridge that could consistently hit temps below 40 degrees so this met my requirements.

For the price, this fridge met all my basic requirements with the LED light as a bonus feature that I really wasn’t shopping for but has grown on me. I have come to terms with the noise realizing that I would need to spend...

Victor: Since we bought a rather tall house, and I'm disabled, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a mini fridge for the top floor (since that's where my office is). After looking over several options, I finally came across this one. I read the reviews and decided to take my chances, despite many saying the fridge wasn't cold enough. Verdict?

I've had this fridge for over two months now, and thus far it's be an EXCELLENT buy! It's exactly what I was looking for. Stores quite a few beverages along with some snacks, it's quiet, but most of all, it's COLD!

For those complaining that it isn't cold enough, are you looking for a freezer?! This thing chills beverages in half the time that my FULL SIZED fridge in my old apartment would. And it keeps them cold. Any colder, and I'd have a hard time actually handling the can.

The blue lighting is a nice touch!

One thing to note. My unit DID arrive with a dent in it. I don't really care about cosmetics as much as utility, so I decided to give it a pass as long as it didn't impact its functionality. So far, it hasn't. It's still air-tight and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

T. Hubbell: Bought this 2 years ago still running great. It came packaged very well. Power usage is very low between 25 and 35 kwh a month depending on season. To me it is very quiet but you can hear it running from 10 feet away. Any farther or if tv is on I never notice it running. An interesting thing is this design emits heat from the side panels, there are no coils to get dusty. The sides can get pretty hot if you put a bunch of warm beverages in causing extended run time.

Donnie GallantDonnie Gallant: A stylish looking fridge that will fit any decor. I bought this fridge for a snack bar project for my game room.
I can hold 95 cans of 355ml pop, beer ect. It has adjustable shelves. It gets very cold you can adjust the temperature. Has a nice blue light that can be turned on and off from a switch. The door has a stainless steel frame with a glass opening to look into the fridge. People complained that It came damaged, my fridge was not a dent on it. Read other reviews saying it's not cold enough. For me it was more then cold enough. And few people complained about the noise when the fan is running. Yes i can hear it when its really quite in the room but didn't bother me. The thermostat controls are on the back of the fridge.
I also bought a platform to rise it up off the floor.

Silvio: I was skeptical at first. Looking at beer fridges, many negative reviews were that they never kept beverages cold enough or were too noisy. It was tough searching for one. This one by Dansby exceeded my expectations! Keeps cans and bottles super cold, more than my main kitchen fridge, and isn't loud at all. Have been very pleased with this product thus far!

Lee Ann Hicks: I took a lot of time researching and shopping for just the right mini fridge for my needs. This one is the best. I mainly use it for my cosmetic products but it still has lots of room for drinks and any snacks. I love the blue light, the sturdiness, the glass door and that it's lockable. The temperature is perfect. I purchased it when there really was no inventory for appliances yet Amazon had it and for the best price. I do not regret this purchase at all.

Shane: This fridge came packaged very well. Plenty of cardboard and styrofoam to prevent damage during shipment. It was super easy to cut the plastic straps and pull the cardboard box over the refrigerator. Keep in mind the proper process for setting up a new fridge. Assume that it was rotated during shipment and leave it upright after you get it into its final location for 24 hours. It's important that the oil has a chance to settle in the compressor. The reversible door is a nice feature and easy to flip to the other side. Once the fridge has settled, you wipe it down, and let it run empty during its initial cooling, it works well! The compressor started out somewhat noisy, but after a day or so, it broke-in and quieted down substantially. I can barely hear it while it runs now. It keeps my beverages under 40F, so zero complaints on the temperature. Just turn it to the coolest setting and you're all set. The blue LED lights are a nice modern touch. The only things this fridge lacks are a light switch on the outside (it's on the inside but easily accessible at the front), a temperature display, and push button temperature adjustment. Would those things be nice to have?...

Cliente de Amazon: Los entrepaños pueden ajustarse sin embargo no son tan versátiles para mantener botellas verticalmente. Las paredes laterales de calientan sin ser un peligro pero irradia bastante calor, debes mantener la distancia recomendada de 12.5 cm de cada lado. En general es un producto bueno enfría bastante bien.

Wade L. Harper: This is a very attractive and well made unit, but you shipping container needs work. The packaging is obviously designed for shipping multiple units on a pallet. I have ordered a total of three units (original and two replacements due to damage). The third was actually damaged as well with some minor denting to the cabinet and the door trim was damaged. I was able to swap door three with door two and make an acceptable unit. Your damage was 100%.

I worked in the corrugated box industry for many years, and managed a box plant for most of them. Packaging is a science. You need to ask your box supplier to send their designer to your facility and redesign your packaging for individual shipments. You may also want to contact the packaging science department at Clemson University. Your strapping system also needs some work. The straps were loose on all three packages when received. The straps are the only means you are using to keep the bottom tray intact with the HSC. You need a strapping compression system and hand holes in the box so the shipper does not use the straps to carry the unit. Ask your box supplier what kind of compression system they use...

MMc - Amazon Customer: We received our product the next day which was fabulous.

Upon opening we could see that there were 3 dents on the left top back and front. This could have been from the manufacturer or shipping, we have no idea. It would have been too much of a pain to return.

Other than that the Cooler runs great, keeps our beverages cool. People do have to realize that this is a cooler and not a fridge.

Great Product !!!
