I've found that the "freezer" section of a mini fridge is pretty much a waste of space too small to be really useful, and in constant need of defrosting. The Danby all-fridge is a great addition to my tiny kitchen. It, and a stand-alone freezer, are all I need to keep my food fresh. The veggie crisper actually works, and the can dispenser is a nice touch.

I've had the fridge for a little over a year now, without a single hitch or glitch. Still a great product!

I went with the positive reviews, ordered the fridge, and hoped that the seller had read the negative reviews that had criticized the packaging of the fridge.

Delighted to see that it was extremely well packaged with heavy crating protection. Fridge is perfect in every way, my last fridge died because of the freezer leaking, so I love the extra space. Great for white wine/beer/and it fits beautifully into the basement alcove. I picked black and honestly really glad I did, because you can't even see it in the alcove. It runs quietly (I even opened the fridge several times because it was so quiet I wanted to make sure it was running!) so both thumbs up on this fridge.

In my hotel room during a recent vacation I was very pleased to see this little refrigerator by Danby. At first it didn't look too special; but I was wrong. It worked very well, keeping my refrigerated items cold without freezing them. Moreover, the adjustable shelves came in handy after I made a couple of trips to a local supermarket; I needed to adjust the shelves to fit everything in. I can't really comment about the adjustable door because of course hotel management probably wouldn't have appreciated me changing the door on them; but I assume you can adjust the door fairly easily. The interior light worked fine.

The shelves weren't quite as deep as I would have liked them to be, but then again it comes with adjustable shelves. I could also put things like foot long sandwiches in at 45 degree angles; that way even a large item can fit inside without a problem.

I would recommend this small refrigerator for offices, college students or anyone who wants a smaller sized refrigerator that does a good job of keeping food cold.
