Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the 36-Bottle Wine Cooler's capacity. However, a significant drawback reported by customers is the difficulty in controlling the temperature, with some finding it too cold and others struggling to achieve the desired temperature. Many comments highlight the lack of precise temperature settings and readouts. More experimentation is needed to find the right temperature setting.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    was the exact size fit to replace my u-line fridge that broke. it's 1/10th the price of that unit, but really feels great and premium. the blue light is nice, the glass door is pretty. my complaints are: the door magnet is not strong, so if you push the door closed it might bounce off. and the drawers do not slide out. they're removable entirely, but if you're storing cans for instance, you're just gonna see the tops or bottoms of them from the door.

    Pro: I received my wine fridge in 2 days. Ordering process was so quick and easy! Pro: I get so many compliments. Pro: This is a simple & convenient freestanding wine fridge. It’s great for those who typically remember to chill the wine as you’re pulling out your wine glasses. Pro: It’s quiet. The blue light is very illuminating. Pro: who cares about the 2 bottle capacity difference? I use one fridge for white and the other for red. The dual temp control was confusing for me. The actual digital temp was all over the place. See cons below. Con: The Brand name “Danby” is on the glass door on this model. Not the case with my Danby wine fridge in my relaxation room. Con: Needs leg extenders/risers to make it easier to open the door while on carpet. Con: 36 bottles depend on the size of your wine bottles. Not every wine bottle is slender. Con: I entered my full delivery address complete with my apartment unit number. Why was my labeled & very OBVIOUS wine fridge delivered and left on the walkway? Not even under the porch covering to the apartment entry. The main door to the corridor is unlocked for deliveries but the uncovered sidewalk was considered a better option? It rained before I got home from work. Yeah… so that happened. My super kind elderly neighbor had so much fun getting a wet heavy fridge inside the entry way to protect it from the rain. (Bless his socks) Con: the settings are off a couple of degrees. If you are that concerned about a couple of degrees for a minimally priced freestanding wine fridge just use it for one type or splurge for a second fridge. Con: you can only plug ONE fridge into the outlet with “no other item plugged into the outlet” PER MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATION. So plan your space with that in mind. In summary: I love this product. Best Buy has always been a solid and reputable company for me. The delivery was crappy but there was no damage. Many would think it’s no big deal to leave it outside. However, Amazon has delivered much larger items to my 2nd floor apartment door. So there is a higher standard out there. I’m happy to get my deliveries inside the main floor entry. Aside from the delivery debacle, I’m very satisfied 9/10.

    Not 36 Bottles

    First, it is not a 36 bottle wine cooler. All I can get in it is 32. Very misleading. Also, Danby missed it on the leveling leg. It will not extend long enough. I have a wooden shim under mine to level the wine cooler. Although I recommended it, I did with reservations. Know before you buy. Do your research. Expect less value on this one.

      Hello, Our Danby 36 Bottle Wine Cooler can hold up to 36 wine bottles of 750 ml size. Place five bottles on the first six shelves. Place three bottles on each shelf of the two lower shelves. Also, please be sure that the wine bottle shape is a Bordeaux. This is a common shape for wine bottles, and these have straight sides and high, distinct shoulders. Other shapes or sizes of the wine bottles may affect the capacity of the wine cooler. Regards, Earl danby-products

    Super Quiet

    Overall I really like this wine cooler. It is so quiet I don't even know if it is on, which is a pleasant surprise due to the constant noise from my last cooler. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is due to the cold temperature. I have it turned to the highest setting, and it is still slightly too cold for the red wines. Perfect for whites though. I just take out the red bottles a bit before needed to slightly warm them.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We like the wine fridge alright but we are disappointed that you cannot adjust the legs underneath. It needs to be raised and we have no choice but to rig something up. Also the door tends to get moisture on the outside. Other than that it looks nice and holds a good amount of bottles and beverages as well.

    Relatively noisy and no dedicated wine bottle holder system. Basically simple racks where you lay your bottles in. Designed for standard with bottles. If you have wider bottles. You may run into problems. The blue light is cool and it keeps a decent temperature

    Wine cooler arrived in good shape and is operating as expected. As the cooler has no temperature display I put a $6 thermometer inside to monitor the temperature. As I keep red wine in the cooler I have it dialed in to 57F and it is keeping the temperature constant.

    No temperature reading. No way to set temperature. Seems basic functionality is only partially present. You have a dial which the manual suggests only affects, not sets actual final temperature. Even the manual says that the temperature will fluctuate based on different conditions. Ever hear of a thermostat?

    It was dumped at my door by ups and delivered in a box that had been previously opened and was held together be plastic ties. After unboxing, it was visibly dented in the rear back area. Very disappointing since it was the replacement for another wine cooler that I had purchased from Best Buy. Id always had great products and service with them before
