I bought this for my office at work. I was looking for the biggest mini fridge that is functional, quiet, affordable and pretty to look at. This fits the bill!
I followed the instructions patiently. I let the fridge sat upright for a few hours before plugging it in. I set the temp at the highest setting. I waited overnight to allow it to cool, lowered to almost mid temp, then loaded all my stuff.
What I like: (1) very quiet operation (2) all fridge and no freezer so need to defrost every so often (3) adjustable shelves with bottle rack/Canstor door liner - plenty of functional space for my lunch meals, pop, water, condiments, etc. (4) interior light.
I wish it came with a crisper at the bottom of the fridge for some fruits but it's not a deal breaker.
I would definitely recommend this brand and this particular mini fridge for anyone who is on the market for a mini fridge.

The top shelf holds two 64oz growlers, plus sixteen or so 12oz bottles, or a few 22oz ones. The bottom shelf doesn't hold bottles, but takes eighteen or more 16oz cans.
The rear half of the middle shelf, slightly annoyingly, sits a bit high and won't accept most 12oz bottles without a bit of force. The front half of it, though, is perfect for 12oz bottles and holds fourteen or so of them. A few more can be wedged in the back if necessary, or some shorter bottles or more cans can be put back there. And of course the door is good for at least 8 cans, plus some 12 or 22oz bottles as well.
More importantly, at its lowest (least cool) setting, the fridge maintains a perfect temperature of 45-50 degrees throughout, without the use of any external regulators. In light of that, as well as the sub-$200 price, I would not hesitate to recommend this fridge to anyone looking to keep some beer.

This includes: waiting 6 hours before turning it on, using a 120 V outlet, using an outlet with nothing else using power from it, having 5 inches of clearance on all sides, having the fridge inside and with good air circulation, making sure the door is tightly sealed, and not putting too much warm food in at once.
Once it failed to hold even around 40 degrees F on max cold setting, I did some tests to see what would make it work. I put it in the middle of the room with 5 feet clearance on all sides. I also had a fan blowing cold air on the various parts of the fridge. I tested the voltage of the outlet to make sure it worked. To make it even worse, I have nothing in the fridge to cool and it can only get around 45 degrees F. This isn't safe for keeping food. They even have mayo in the picture sitting in the fridge. I tested the fridge with a calibrated temperature gauge. It's readings match my full sized fridge and what its display reads. I put a couple of already cold drinks in the fridge and it lost it's mind. It actually rose 5 degrees F when I did that.
The fridge does come with plenty of room to fit a lot of stuff and runs fairly silent. You can take shelves out and adjust them and easy to clean. No worries about water or frost buildup which is nice.
To return it was simple. I selected return on my order and then selected to chat with an Amazon representative. I got asked a couple of questions and was given a refund. If you experience any problems consider what I did with mine and try to get a refund or replacement at no
cost to you.
The reason for the 1 out of 5 stars? What would you give for a unit that is defective? Should I just not write a review? The simple answer is I check the 1 star reviews before I buy a product what I might too encounter. It's been a while since I've gotten a defective appliance or electronic part. I expect them to work if no visible damage can be seen and the product has never been used.
I'd also like to point out the "John" that commented in my review is the same "John" you see replying to other reviews saying he works for Danby and if he can do anything about it contact him to other customers but not me.
1: Lacking a freezer, the fridge is quite roomy and modular; I like the can storage in the door, and I've been able to store numerous bottles (short, tall, bombers) in the fridge compartment itself. As noted above - no freezer, which is exactly what I wanted. There are entirely too many mini-fridges with a tiny, inefficient freezer compartment. Gigantic waste of space.
2: Positioning of the shelves is very helpful. Currently, I use the base shelf of the fridge for short bottles (Alaskan brewing, Founder's, Sierra Nevada, etc.), the second shelf for tall bottles, and I lay bombers on their side on the top shelf.
3: Consistent temperature - I'm not seeing any fluctuations between bottles... which is as-expected. The fridge has resided in a couple of places thus far: my 2nd floor (which gets VERY warm - 100+ degrees fahrenheit), and my basement (which is routinely 60-70 degrees fahrenheit). Obviously, it runs far less frequently in the basement... but the temperature appears to have been consistent through its moves. Exactly as it should be.
Had I the space for a full fridge for beer, I'd happily spring for one... but the Danby handily does what I need. It's an excellent beer fridge, and I have no regrets about buying this specific model. Very much recommended.
