This is a beautiful bev fridge that looks sleek and modern in our new wetbar. The blue light definitely has the "wow" factor and it does not warm the fridge like a traditional bulb can. The temperature is holding true at 39 degrees (which is the lowest setting since it is really the wine fridge with different shelves). It does exactly as promised and looks amazing doing it.

This fridge looks great, and it is the right size for under the counter in our kitchen, we bought it to keep all the drinks out of the big fridge.... but man! It drives us crazy constantly turning on and off, literally 10 times a minute. We have tried turning the temp up and keeping it full, but to no avail. It is really noticeable and bothersome in the quiet moments of the morning and evening...just when you want to relax and enjoy your kitchen. It's almost like it's breathing and straining. We are bummed about it.
Three Evaporators replaced in 2.5 years. Total Junk. Four months prior to the manufacturer warranty expired and it failed. Evaporator replaced. Six months later under a service contract, it failed again. One week after receiving it back, failed again. I'm convinced that the service companies are milking the service contract for low hanging fruit on this product, but aren't actually finding the real leak. Danby all but said, sorry about your luck and were no help. I don't recommend this product or any purchase of a Danby product as a result. This thing has been a total lemon. It's currently unplugged and awaiting yet another repair under the service contract. I plan to replace it with another name brand product.
Bought this beverage cooler to put into a home theatre room we built in basement. I love the blue light, it gives off a nice color and a little light without overpowering, this is great when all the lights are out and we are watching a movie. The glass shelves are great! I know there are other options out there that are cheaper...some MUCH cheaper, but the adjustable glass shelves are worth it. Now I do not have to worry about things tipping. Another part of other reviews with wire shelves seemed to be that they would start to bend if you put too much on them.
I've had this beverage center for about 2 months now, and it looks great, but my major issue with this unit is the fan runs for about 20 seconds, stops for 10 seconds, and then on again, and it will continue to cycle like that, no matter how cold it is set at. It is incredibly annoying. I'm not sure if it's just my particular unit, I will be calling into Danby to see what they say about this.
This fridge is exactly what I wanted in a beverage center for our wet bar. It cools to 39 degrees, which most of these type of fridges will not get this cold. It is quiet running and the blue light is definitely cool. Also has a lock which is nice.
Came on time, and in great condition, as expected. Very easy to unpack, insert in existing under counter location, and to level. Holds temp at 40. Attractive. Shelf levels are all pre-set, so you don't have complete flexibility.
In the 3 1/2 years I owned this cooler it failed two times. Once, in the first year and a half it needed a compressor replaced and this was done under warranty. At the 3 1/2 year mark, it did it again and this time I got a pro rata payment which ended up being 1/3 of the cost of a new beverage center. Two total failures in this short of time is not impressive and I am left with a small amount of money in which to buy a new unit. Customer Service is not helpful ignoring my request to reconsider their "settlement" based on their warranty. I don't recommend buying this beverage center for the reasons stated as well as the fact that it never cooled very well and runs a circulating motor every 10 seconds. Not a good choice!
So far I am loving the new beverage center although the room is not quite complete and have not used the frig for anything yet, it is plugged in and looks great. The lock was not quite as great of quality as the rest of the frig, only 3 stars on that. - Danby - Wine Fridge - Mini Fridge - Beverage Center'
