I bought this fridge August 2016 out of necessity. I'm recovering from an illness and to help me get back on my feet I'm currently living in transitional housing. I have a roommate and all areas except the bedrooms are shared or common space. I moved in and bought some groceries as I thought was proper as not to use the roommates food. I noticed the only food from the kitchen fridge that was being used was mine! And it was disappearing almost as fast as I brought it in. Thus the purchase of this little fridge. Delivery was right to my door. Packing was awesome. This little fridge just like anything you buy today is an energy saver so it doesn't work as well as the old skool appliances. First thing I notice is that it only has one leveling foot. Well in order to make the fridge level I needed to raise the front. Sort of difficult with only one leveling foot. So I now have a cardboard shim under the left front to keep everything stable. What could it possibly cost to put two leveling feet on this? so I plug it in and look at the temperature control knob to turn it to the coldest setting since energy savers don't get as cold as old skool stuff. Which way do I turn the knob for warmer/colder? I don't know because there is some sort of blue whatever 3/4 of the way around the knob and the instruction manual is no help. But anyway, clockwise twist on the knob is colder I finally figure out. The 0 at the top center actually means off. I guess I'm out of touch with the new hieroglyphics that are supposed to be universal and understandable by everyone. NOT ME!! The door has what appears to be built in bottle holders. Cool, or so I thought. Totally useless unless you want to take out the shelves. The bottles hit the shelves way before the door gets close to being closed. Properly arranged it holds a lot of stuff. The freezer? Don't expect to put much in there. while it is as wide and as deep as the fridge About four inches high is all you get. But over all I'm satisfied with this little fridge. it is very quiet and the magnet that holds the door closed is very strong. This door will not open accidentally. I believe it to be worth the price.

I like the glass shelves, not like some of the cheap plastic ones out there. It was affordable and large enough for my purposes. I am using it in a small home rec room, in the basement. I like the soda can storage. I took out the egg tray for more cans. It fits a lot and looks nice. I got the black finish which fits in very well.

Seems to have problems freezing ice cubes at the rear of the freezer compartment. Otherwise, seems to work well. Does the job it is suppose to do for the price.

This 4.4 Cu. Ft. refrigerator has a small freezer compartment. The fridge fits a lot of food items that need to stay cold. The temperature is good at 30 degrees for the refrigerator, but the freezer is the same temperature as the refrigerator and does not keep things frozen, especially ice cream. We love this refrigerator because it is a great addition to the Master BR since it fits right under the counter of our Coffee Bar and is exactly what we needed to store beverages (water, wine, etc.) near our sitting area.

Great fridge at a great price. I was able to get this fast and cheaper than other stores for this particular model. I like the shelves on this better than the wire ones also, they're easier to clean.

I bought this refrigerator for my daughter who is a college freshman and she is very happy with the overall performance. I wanted her to keep some healthy food inside her room so that she can munch those at odd hours while studying. This refrigerator has been perfect !!!

Due to a recent move we now have a house where the master bedroom suite was made apartment style out of an attic remodel. Unfortunately, they kept the original small door and steep narrow stairway. I wanted a satellite fridge for drinks and snacks that I did not have to fill constantly. This model is small enough to fit up the limited access, but large enough capacity to have an ample supply so no trips down the ladder late at night!

Needed a second fridge as the main one gets crowded sometimes. This one is perfect as it is still smaller and compact but not as small as a true mini fridge. Have had absolutely zero issues with it and it keeps everything cold. Havent really tried the freezer part but I wouldnt trust putting ice cream or anything in it

works fine. plenty of room. full freezer area, not shortened like many of the other fridges. The only thing is that there is no light that turns on when you open the door. Fortunately, we use it for an office during the daytime.

Standard stock fridge - bigger than the small cube ones. Shelves are glass (which can break under load). Top shelf of the fridge is close to the freezer section - so don't store veggies there as they will freeze.

This was a great Father's Day gift to keep dad's cold foods separate from everyone else! Cans fit perfectly in their own holders, and milk cartons & salad containers fit well on the shelves. The best part is that there is no freezer taking up space. If you wanted a freezer, you would buy one, right? Anyway, if you want a fridge...and only a fridge...this is the one to get!

While I am pleased with the fridge style and performance so far, I was extremely disappointed in its delivery. Although the outer packaging did not appear damaged, the back of the fridge has numerous unsightly dents. Fortunately, they are hidden from view but the value of the fridge was compromised by poor packing design or delivery. The fridge has been in service only two weeks but is working well in the dorm. The glass shelves are much nicer and easier to clean than coated wire shelves I have encountered in other fridge models. The freezer compartment is anemic, as expected, but is not the main focus of a dorm fridge.

I like to keep a small fridge in the garage for overflow of cans and bottles and for use for extra food on holidays. I moved recently and got rid of my small fridge and shopped around and bought this one. It is a handsome unit and has plenty of room inside for cans, bottles and platters etc. The only negative comment I have is that there is no interior light. But,. that's my bad as I didn't check whether or not it did.

I am very please with the purchase of this unit. I am a home brewer and for my particular situation I do use it to keep my beer keg (Soda like keg) at the right temperature for any kind of beer (specific temperatures depending of the kind of beer). The space and controls of this unit just fit perfect for my intended use. I do appreciate the attention to detail for spacing and control location The door's interior has plenty space for extra items. It is a very good quality refrigerator,

We bought this to replace one just like it (seemingly) that had lasted for years. This one looks and fits just like the last Danby. Weirdly, there is no interior light which I just assumed it had. It also has a tiny freezer which seems unnecessary. But overall, it does the job nicely.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with your mini fridge. If you are looking for an all refrigerator you may want to consider a model such as the DAR044A4BSSDD which does have a light.
