Perfect for our needs. Replaced a refrigerator the same size. This is all fridge, just what I wanted. Fits perfect in the space. None of the issues others talked about, freezing, leaking.

I needed a refrigerator to fit in a small basement apartment. This has been perfect for me. I turn the thermostat a little over halfway and my food and drinks stay colder than the 4 cubic foot one it replaced. I didn't need a freezer, so the extra room for food is perfect. It would have been nice to have black or stainless, but I got not complaints.

This item is the perfect size for storing my garden vegetables during the picking season, until I can process them. It's quite and doesn't seem to run constantly.

A bit on the heavy side but everything works as intended; great product for storing vaccines; enough space to put water bottles in to maintain temperature of the refrigerator; very spacious and there are also racks on the door side that is helpful.

Like the refrigerator very much but the upper right hand corner was damaged when we unpacked it and after contacting Home Depot, they will only exchange it.....meaning we would have to empty, load it and haul it 50 miles to return it instead of just taking off a percentage. Crazy, I will not be shopping their online department again.

Great fridge but…
Nice little fridge that I’m using in the garage for extra food storage. My only complaint is that I need to keep the cool dial on the highest setting to keep the fridge cooling at the proper temp.

Perfect size but noisy
by
Response from DanbyAuthorizedRepMay 10, 2024
Dear valued customer,

We appreciate your feedback. We understand that noise can be frustrating. Sometimes, noises can occur due to the compressor cycling on and off, which is normal operation. However, if the noise seems excessive or irregular, it may indicate an issue with the appliance. Please reach out to our consumer service team at consumerservice@danby.com, and we'll be happy to assist you further and ensure your satisfaction.

Thank you for choosing Danby.

Best regards, Earl danby-products

Product is perfect size and look for my space. But it is very light weight and the door needs to be tugged hard to open, causing the whole refrigerator to move. It needs to be anchored to the wall or floor.
by
Response from DanbyAuthorizedRepApr 25, 2024
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand the inconvenience caused by the lightweight design of our freezerless refrigerator. Anchoring it to the wall or floor can indeed provide added stability. If you have any further concerns or need assistance with anchoring the refrigerator, please don't hesitate to reach out to our consumer service team at consumerservice@danby.com. We're here to help!

Best regards,

Doesnt Hold temperature
I am extremely disappointed. Unfortunate, as its a great size.- Purchased in June, and just threw away a turkey we had defrosting in the refrigerator. The temperature swings almost 18 degrees between cycles. As a result the refrigerator was above 40 degrees for more than 12 hours according to the logging thermometer (suspected a problem). Definitely avoid.
by
Response from DanbyAuthorizedRepNov 27, 2023
Hi Rjadelsohn, we regret the frustration caused by the temperature fluctuations in your freezer. We understand the importance of consistent cooling.

Temperature swings can occur due to factors like overloading, improper ventilation, or a malfunctioning thermostat. To troubleshoot, ensure proper spacing around the freezer, avoid overloading, and check if the door seals tightly. If the issue persists, our consumer service team at consumerservice@danby.com is here to provide personalized assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter for you. Your satisfaction is important to us.

    We're truly sorry for the inconvenience you've faced with the condition of the refrigerator you received. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait and then find such an issue.

Please contact our consumer service team at consumerservice@danby.com, and we'll work to resolve this promptly for you.

    Great 2nd Refrigerator
    We purchased this small refrigerator to hold liquid refreshments on our three season porch. The refrigerator runs great in hot weather (it gets to be up to 100 on the porch at times) and in cold weather (its an unheated porch which gets occasionally below 0 degrees fahrenheit) It works great, and we've found that we use it in a pinch at the holidays to store extra food, casseroles, etc. when we have a crowd. There is ample space and we chose this style becuase we didn't need or want a freezer. Very happy.

      Slight Complication.
      Great size, but had to call the main company to have the door gasket replaced. It was leaking water because the refrigerator kept running from a gap in the gasket seal. Once that is replaced, this should be a great fridge.

      NOISY DEFECTIVE FAN
      Fan failing after one week, was a bit noisy at first, fan bearings/ bushings loud now. Cheap China crap, probably never build with bearings and I had to pay $850 to get this smaller than normal size for my older home and install it myself because Home Depot doesn't offer installation for this. Even though it costs $200 more than a no frills 15 sq.ft. Refrigerator/freezer I Will have to remove it and take it to a service center in another city or figure out how to install a new fan myself. Lots of bad reviews about the fan but nobody else offers a refrigerator this size.

      Perfect freezerless fridge
      This refrigerator solved so many problems for me, I absolutely love it. Quiet and has performed flawlessly for about four years now. One caveat: you should remove the metal hinge mount from the bottom of the door or you'll risk gouging your foot if you open it with bare feet. It comes with the option to have the hinge on either side, which is great - but once you've decided on which way it will open, remove the metal mount from the bottom of the door to prevent injury.

        Noisy fan but otherwise perfect
        The fan is quite noisy. Sounds like it is out of alignment but the unit cools well and is the perfect size for our needs

          Worked until it didn't
          Well, if you only need it for two years it might be ok. Stopped cooling so took everything out and let it ""defrost"a bit and tried again and it worked for a day, now won't even come on. warranty only 18 months and we are at the 24 month period. won't buy this brand again.

              Very happy with the purchase but...
              I really like this size and it was what I was looking for. It is unique. I've had it over a year and it's been great except for one problem. It has condensation build up on the bottom. I have read it could be caused by a drain freeze up. The bottom is colder than the top of the fridge. This is normal to some degree. The fridge temp range should be 37-40. I've remedied the problem by putting 2 thermometers in. One on the top and one towards the bottom. It takes a bit of fussing around but I was able to get the top at 40 and the bottom at 37. So the fridge isn't perfect but it is close enough with a minor aggravation. I would purchase again if I get a least 5 years out of it but hope to get more.

                fan issue
                works fine. vege tray is sometimes difficult to maneuver. Only complaint is that the interior fan is noisy. Just enough to be annoying.
