Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome little fridge. Comment: This fridge has worked perfectly for me for over a year. I only use it for holding drinks and apples and it gets plenty cold. When I first bought it I cranked it down and froze three apples. The Anti-frost button works well just be careful not to spill the water from the tray when you empty it. All in all great little fridge.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Broke down afrer 6 month Comment: Fridge cooling capability kept going down till it couldnt cool down after 6 month. Called the service provider so they can fix it under warranty and they asked to contact Danby, called Danby they asked me to contact Amazon, called Amazon and they asked me to call Danby again. After a few months of agony danby agreed to replace the non working fridge. if u r looking for a cheap disposable fridge, here u go, other than that dont waste ur time and money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: so far, so good... Comment: I bought this recently for 150 at the dept store with the 'bullseye' logo. I have the stainless steel grey and black version. So far i'm happy with it as it does get cold enough to make ice in its mini-freezer compartment, and that was when i turned the temp control to the 2/3 setting(not even the max setting!). So make no mistake, it does get cold enough to make ice. If you're looking for a mini-fridge, temporary fridge, second fridge, single-person fridge, then this seems like a great value. I've only had it for a few weeks now, so i'll update my review if anything 'majorly bad' happens in the future(trust me, i'll be upset enough to come back and write a poor follow up if this fridge starts to breakdown in any way).
Finally, the energy guide. The energy guide included with the fridge says it uses 343 of 345 kwh, and that its yearly operating costs is $28. That 343/345 is very high, but it says it is measured against other comparable fridges up to 4.4 cubic feet. This is a 4.3 cubic ft mini-fridge, so obviously it would be near the max. Other 4.3/4.4 mini-fridges use about the same amount of energy. And the Danby actually used about the same amount as a 3.3 cubic ft Avanti mini-fridge i was looking at. I don't have a bias towards one brand or the other(this ain't Ford vs Chevy, PS3 vs XBOX 360), simply just letting you know what the energy guide stats are. So compare and shop around before making a decision if this one is right for you. I have it, and think it's a good purchase(one of the biggest mini-fridges with a mini-freezer compartment!) and a good value(one of the cheapest prices for a mini-fridge).
(edit: almost 2 yrs later, still works fine. although i have to defrost a little more than i'd like to. also, you can't fit a large pizza box in this thing. just saying)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Mini fridge lived up to expectation Comment: The Danby stainless steel fridge was shipped to Hawaii and was in great shape when it arrived. The unit was as expected and we were quite happy. If there was a negative, the little freezer did not keep ice cream real frozen...frozen enough but not real hard. Other than that, the unit was as expected and we would recommend the unit to any and all looking for something like this...especially because of the reasonable price both on the unit itself and the shipping charges.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Unsat Comment: Item delivered to me damaged (dent in stainless steel door, and along back frame. Door not attached and when attempt to attach door, will not remain on swivel hinges.
