Have used it for a few months and the capacity seems a bit overstated. 30 might be a more realistic expectation if you are loading Bordeaux bottles. The noise is another factor. It is a bit noisy for a kitchen next to a den where the compressor noise and pops and bangs from thermal changes are very noticeable during a quiet evening. I may have to find a more remote location for this machine. It does keep everything nicely cool and looks fine next to other appliances, for the money not a great buy but still good.

By and large, it didn't seem like Danby had a good reputation. I wish I had listened to my gut on the other reviews. I knew this particular one would look somewhat cheap (plastic finish rather than stainless steel, thin interior walls, limited features), but for the price I figured I could live with that.

However, what was unacceptable about this one was temperature and noise. I was hoping that I wouldn't get the "lucky" unit with these issues that were mentioned by others, but I did unfortunately.

First of all, the temperature. Top shelves had ice on them! I guess if I wanted my wine that cold, I just could have thrown it in my freezer.

Second, the noise. The compressor itself is pretty quiet. However, my unit made roaring and whooshing noises like an old refrigerator. Annoying at the very least, but also led me to think something more serious could be wrong. Worst of all though was the popping noise that literally sounded like the glass was cracking. I'm guessing this was due to expansion and contraction of the glass with fluctuations in temperature, but would they not have an expansion joint or something on the edges of the glass to prevent this noise?

All in all, I got a lemon, and I returned it today (after 2 days of usage). I'm not taking my chances on another unit of the same model since it's a pain to unpack and pack. I say steer clear of this model.

Shipping and delivery were timely and well done. Over all the unit is what I was expecting. I even manage to fit nearly 35 bottles in there including Burgundy shaped bottles which was a pleasant surprise. My only grip is that the nob to change the temperature is basically useless. Be it at full "on" position or barely above the "off" position the unit maintains a consistent 52 degrees near the bottom and 55 at the very top. For the most part I purchased this with the intent of semi-long term storage so I don't mind the temp around 54 degrees, but if you are planning on serving red straight from the unit you would do well to let it stand on the counter for 15-20 minutes before hand. Despite the limited temp options I am pleased with the design and build and would recommend it with the added warning that you will most likely not get this to maintain a higher temperature than 55 degrees. If you want that "added" option of temp control...spend more money.

Thermostat was defective upon arrival, and a replacement was similarly defective. In addition, the design of the wine cooler was inadequate as it will not accommodate Pinot Noir bottles. The overall impression of this cooler is that it is cheaply made and badly designed. Ended up returning it, and asking for refund. This is the type of consumer good one needs to see and "try out" at a store before purchasing.
