Danby Designer DAR044A4BDD-6 4.4 Cu.Ft. Mini Fridge, Compact Refrigerator for Bedroom, Living Room, Bar, Dorm, Kitchen, Office, E-Star in Black

Bought this to replace a 10+ year old Danby kegerator. Stuck with the brand since my last one lasted so long. I haven't had this one for but a week but I'm very pleased with it. It's lighter than most mini fridges, well made and shelves are strong enough to fill with cans.The fridge cooled down to temp quickly, about 3 or 4 hours it was near 40F per a glass of water and temp probe. There is a good amount of storage inside and some shelves are adjustable but all are removable.A few downsides I've noticed is that since it is light it can slide on the floor if bumped. Mine is near a corner but not under cabinets so it is more exposed. Full with beverages it doesn't move as easily though. I added some felt pads to the bottom to not scratch the wood floors, and there's only one leveling screw. The other thing is cans that were pushed back to the metal cooling plate get very cold. I had a few very slightly slushy beers. So I pulled them off the back wall meaning I lost a row of can space.Overall for the price you can't beat this fridge and if it is as reliable as my previous Danby you can't beat it. Others commented about the noise but when it kicks in there is a slight whine and hum but isn't any louder than any fridge I've had before.

So far, GREAT in every respect. The things I love about it are 1. It cools evenly throughout down to below 40f I checked with a special thermometer in a bottle of water and I'm in AZ. 2. It is quiet 3. the inside light shines through the glass shelves and I can see everything. 3. the shelves are in a perfect place for me so that a lot fits on them and the crisper is long enough for celery and holds a lot also. 4. It fits a square carton of milk, 1/2 gal. I think 5. It's self defrosting 6. it was only $265 with a 2 yr. guarantee and 7. look how well it fits into the space. And if you fill out a little survey, you get an extra 2 months added onto your warranty. The only thing I would change is the temperature control button which you have to use a coin or knife to turn it and the cannister holder because I don't use cans, but I have bottles in them instead. We changed the door to open on the right and that brought the cannister holder to the front instead of the back. Overall though, a fantastic value for the money in my opinion.

This is a great little refrigerator and don't have any gripes, it works fine and keeps drinks cold. It doesn't have a freezer because it's just for drinks and was a good value for what it'll be used for. But be sure you inspect the box for dents as mine was dropped off and never saw the delivery person but the door wouldn't close and dented in the side. Didn't want to send it back so I straightened the door hinge and kept it.

Great refrigerator. Lost of room. No useless ice cube maker. Very quite. Only problem was some minor damage caused by the shipping strap pulled to tight. Worked out a solution this Amazon.

This refrigerator has worked perfectly without any problems for almost 2 years at the time of this review. We keep this refrigerator in the bathroom of our primary bedroom for coffee creamer, dog medications, and cosmetic products. It is so quiet and has very even cooling (no cold spots). If this refrigerator ever gives out, we will purchase another one just like it.

I needed a small ice box to hold my hummingbird sugar water and to store feeders at night (racoons and their kids love to tilt and sip the sugar water dry if I do not take them in at night!) It is perfect for this, and also serves as overflow for small items in my main ice box. Only little gripe is that they have a rack designed for cans of soda or beer on half the inside of the door, which I do not use...have figured out how to adapt it to other containers. Keeps contents at desired temperature and more room inside than anticipated. Great little ice box for the money. It is a little noisy at times, which is not a problem in the location I put it, but noise may be objectionable in a dorm room or bedroom.

I bought this refrigerator last year to replace the one I had in my basement. I chose this unit because it was a refrigerator only and my previous unit had a freezer that wasn’t used so this one offered more space for drinks. The door gasket design on this unit is horrible. The bottom part came loose a couple of months ago and prevents the door from sealing properly. Multiple times I have found the unit with the door slightly open at the top due to the gasket causing ice to form and creating puddles on the floor. I reached out to the manufacturer regarding this issue and because my refrigerator is located underneath a bar with cabinets on either side I was told that my warranty is voided and I am free to purchase a new gasket from their website. Be aware that this is the reason they ask for pictures of the issue when you contact them, not to help resolve the problem but rather to find a reason to deny the warranty. I never had this issue with my old refrigerator, didn’t even notice it’s door gasket in the 18+ years I had it. Sorry that I made this purchase and definitely do not recommend!

great product , great price
