Best mini-fridge we've bought

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020

Color: StainlessVerified Purchase

So we've been through several mini-fridges with multiple kids having gone to college, and we also keep one in our kitchen to store drinks. The one we had bit the dust, so we replaced it with this - it's the same size, but has so much more room in it. I like that it doesn't have the little freezer compartment (those are usually too small to be useful for anything), and there is plenty of space in the door. The outside of it is really sleek and looks great with the rest of our appliances.

This is a good looking and solid fridge. Got it for my daughters room and at first thought it was a little to tall but she loves it and has a nice stash of drinks and snacks.

The fridge is quiet and doesn’t generate much heat. It keeps everything nice and cool and there is plenty of room.

Dented and missing leg

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023

Color: StainlessVerified Purchase

The fridge seems to be running correctly but has a large dent in the side and is missing a leg. I had to prop the missing leg side up with a piece of wood. The leg wasn’t even in the box so the damage wasn’t during shipping but rather at the warehouse!. It shouldn’t have ever been shipped. Other than that it seems to be working okay. I hope the large dent isn’t an indicator of damage that will cause problems later.

Well Made Small Frig with some Minor Faults

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2021

Color: StainlessVerified Purchase

Overall the Danby 2.6 cuft frig is quite a good value. It appears well made and nothing looks or feels cheap. The compressor is adequately sized as I have the thermostat set at half way between off and max where the unit holds its internal temp between 38 and 40F (per a Thermoworks digital frig thermometer). Also the unit seems efficient (well insulated) as it does not run excessively. And when it does run it starts and stops without any "clunks" and is very quiet in operation -- on judgment well within its 40 dB "whisper" rating. The sides of the unit warm slightly as the condenser is built into these locations.

There is no frost in the unit so its auto defrost feature does appear to work. However, I am in dry California so defrost is not a big challenge vs a humid location.

Internally I like the bright LED lighting, glass shelves and door bottle racks. However, even stubby 10 oz tonic water bottles (or soda/beer cans?) will interfere with the glass shelves, depending on where you choose to set the shelves. Specifically, in my case I don't use the very top bottle/can holder as the bottle will interfere with the top glass shelve upon closing the frig door.

Now for the minor faults. The unit is shipped with inadequate packing. My unit was received with a slight 1/8 inch high bulge on its bottom right edge. The bulge is about 2 inches long, but not very noticeable, so I let it go, feeling that if I exchanged the unit I'd likely receive a frig with even worse damage due to the poor packaging.

The thermostat dial does not have a clear "dot" or "arrow" which indicates its position. You have to get down on hands and knees with a flashlight to clearly see the slight groove on the dial which indicates its position.

The adjustable leveling foot interferes with the door hinge bracket such that the front non-adjustable foot is held about an 1/8 inch below the leveling foot. Thus I had to unscrew the non-adjusting front foot and add 3 flat washers in order to bring the non-adjustable foot even with the adjustable leveling foot. An obvious engineering screw up Danby appears to just ignore -- i.e. my guess is that they ARE aware of the problem.

Never buy items from Amazon over 20 lbs. Returning them is a pain in the donkey (ASS).

Color: StainlessVerified Purchase

Control did not work. Fridge stayed at 28 degrees. Was given a credit for the fridge and it ended up in the landfill. AMAZON HAS NOT HEARD OF GLOBAL WARMING AND LAND FILLS ARE A PRODUCT OF GLOBAL WARMING. In less then 100 years when we are all suffocating on the plant for lack of oxygen the ones who should suffocate first are the ones at the top that are not thinking about the future. Corporate greed.

I am a bit sensitive to noise, I find it noisy when running. So it depends on your tolerance for noise level.
