4.0★ weighted·across 78 ratingsHow We Score It
Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

What owners talk about most
“Had this unit for about three months and it has been working great. Keeps drinks nice and cold. It is a bit on the noisy side though so it would not be good if you used it in a dorm room or in a bed room as it might keep you awake when it is running. Great for a bar or garage fridge though”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
The unit measures 17.5 inches wide, 26.8 inches tall, and 19.7 inches deep with a 2.6 cubic foot capacity. Multiple reviewers confirm it fits well in small spaces, condos, and tight spots, making it ideal for compact living situations.
Reviewers consistently report that the unit cools drinks quickly and maintains cold temperatures effectively. One owner notes it gets drinks 'nice and cold,' and another mentions it started cooling fairly quickly after setup.
The unit features blue LED interior lighting that reviewers consistently praise. Multiple owners describe it as attractive and 'classy,' making it a nice aesthetic addition for bar or entertainment spaces.
Most reviewers report quiet or nearly silent operation, with one owner specifically noting it operates 'almost silently.' However, one reviewer mentioned it runs 'a bit on the noisy side' and cautioned against using it in bedrooms where it might disturb sleep.
Reviewers report straightforward setup with one owner noting 'easy setup' and quick cooling after installation. The controls are highlighted as a positive feature by owners.
While most reviewers report positive experiences, a small number of owners experienced compressor or temperature control failures within 1–2 years of use. These cases appear to be isolated incidents, but potential buyers should be aware of the warranty terms and ensure coverage is active before issues arise.
Reviewers use it successfully for beer, wine, and canned beverages. One owner notes it holds 'mostly cans without variation of wine/beers,' and multiple owners appreciate it as a dedicated solution for wine and beer storage when main refrigerator space is limited.

I have had this mini fridge for almost a year now. It works great, looks great and keeps ur drinks chilled perfectly. It is a tad noisy if you keep it in your room like me, but after about a week I got used to it and I don't even notice it anymore. Also keep in mind that if u…

Brand Background

The brand also maintains smaller selections of French door refrigerators, kegerators, and wine storage units. Among the most frequently monitored models in the Fridge.com database are the DBC117A1 beverage cooler and the DCF050A6WM chest freezer, reflecting consumer interest in Danby's specialty categories. With an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars across captured reviews, Danby positions itself as a value-tier option for shoppers seeking secondary refrigeration, dorm room solutions, garage freezers, or dedicated beverage storage without the premium pricing of larger appliance brands.
