Product was just what we needed. The box came a bit damaged..but did not affect the refrigerator. It seems to be fairly quiet during operation. We did have to clean some foam insulation trapped under the door seal. I would purchase this product again if I needed another one!

We had to order this as it wasn’t in stock at the Sioux Falls store. It came in a big box, of course, with no damage to the outside of the box whatsoever. However, the top of the refrigerator had many dents toward the back of the frig. We have it under the counter so no one can see the dents and the frig is working okay (so far). I just don’t understand why Danby and/or Best Buy would ship a damaged frig?

Very nice small fridge. Quiet keeps things cool works fine. Came with a dent on the door but Best Buy gave me 20 bucks off. Rather than have them come out and change it. It seems these always have some kind of dent when they come in.

  Hi Snap,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Danby mini fridge. We are delighted to hear that you find it very nice, quiet, and that it keeps things cool. We appreciate your positive feedback about the fridge's functionality.
  
  We apologize that your fridge arrived with a dent on the door. However, we are glad that Best Buy was able to provide you with a discount of $20 to compensate for the issue.

(1) I've only had this a week. It took a day for this fridge to cool to operating temperature compared to the chest freezer I purchased separately, which only took a few hours. The beverage cans in the door aren't as cool as the drinks up against the interior rear panel (which appears to be the main or only source of cooling), even after it's been running for 4 days and the thermostat is set on the lowest setting. (2) This fridge arrived damaged, a sharp dent in the middle of the door. After unboxing this fridge, it's clear why. The packing material (Styrofoam) on the sides is way too thin considering how much handling these units will endure. Make the Styrofoam thicker and I expect damages will decrease and customer satisfaction increase. (3) I love the interior light. You don't see that often in mini fridges.

Sadly, this mini fridge only lasted 24 months. It started not cooling as well and then suddenly stopped working all together. I contacted Danby and was told there was nothing they could do to help me because the warranty was only 18 months. I called Best Buy where we purchased and they basically told me I was out of luck too. Now I have to pay to dispose of this refrigerator ( Best Buy only recycles full size ones) . Will never purchase another Danby product. Buyer Beware!

  Hi JanetG,
  
  I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience with the mini fridge. It’s frustrating when appliances don’t perform as expected, especially after a short time. Issues with cooling can sometimes stem from factors like temperature settings or ventilation blockages. We want to help, so please reach out to our consumer service team at [email protected] for further resolution. Your satisfaction is important to us.
  
  Regards,
  Earl
