Designer 1.7 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator (DAR017A2BDD), Black

I bought the 1 cu. ft. version and so far after a couple weeks I’m very satisfied. It seems to draw very little electricity and is quite quiet. I have it inside my closet and it barely generates any heat at all in there. The inside easily gets down to food-safe temps which is exactly what I was looking for. It’s hard to find that when you’re going this small. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something that can get down to the 32-45 Fahrenheit range and has a tiny form factor! The only con I’ve really noticed so far is that the bottom half of the back of the unit is completely open. Wires and the refrigerant tank are all completely exposed which was a little off putting but nevertheless, this fridge seems to be durable and quiet so far!

This little mini refrigerator works great in a small office space, garage, or apartment where space is limited. Really keeps beverages cold even in hot weather reaching 100F plus outside and the motor is ultra quiet, you wouldn't know it's on, works with just a trickle of electricity that won't dim the lights! This mini-fridge has space for a 6-pk of 12oz cans, one large 2ltr bottle and 6-regular bottles of water and room left for your lunch bag. Has no inside light and the door can be changed to either side for ease of opening. Looks great and is a reliable well made product that I highly recommend. I received this mini-fridge by next working day from VM Innovations, free & jet fast shipping all the way to the West coast. THANK YOU.

This mini fridge works pretty well. The black color is nice and sleek. It has a modern and aesthetically pleasing design. The temperature control knob allows you to fine tune the temperature. I usually keep it to the left of the middle, as any colder than that and ice will start to accumulate. The size is just ok. I wish it were a bit larger, as not much fits in it. It’s very easy to use and clean. My only other complaint is that ice frequently accumulates even when the temperature isn’t too cold, but this may be due to user error.

Ok, so I've had this fridge for 1 1/2 months. It is keeping my 6 11oz Vega protein drinks[in door], 4 18oz ice tea bottles [on inside bottom] and 8 Triple Zero yogurts [4 on mid shelf/4 on top shelf] nice and cold. I'm the only person in my 18x24 office and it sits in the corner on the other side of U shaped desk. It does make a noise that is noticeable if you're listening for it but not near as loud as the dehumidifier that sits near it or the Xerox Phaser printer cycling that sits directly behind me. It easily becomes one of background noises that you don't even notice. It keeps everything nice and cold (especially my protein drinks and I probably only have it set at 2/3 temp. Arrived in time and in expected shape (no dings, scratches, dents). Custodians want to put a tray under it in the event of a leak, but all's been ok so far (sitting on very short pile office carpet). I'm very glad I made this purchase so I can have my food items as scheduled when my bosses office door is closed, not allowing access to our kitchen (larger fridge).

I like the size and that it's quieter than my last refrigerator. I don't like the center shelf which I think should be deeper, and I don't like the power line spike that causes my computer monitor to flash when the refrigerator compressor shuts off. The refrigerator is on its own power circuit, and my computer system is on a UPS, but the monitor still flashes which of course means something's being stressed.

After going thru 2 Avanti refrigerators that did not work, I ordered the Danby 1.7 cu. ft. unit. It arrived a couple of days ago. Plugged it in and it fired right up. As recommended, I set it to max. A couple of hours later it was registering 14 degrees. Set it back to about 3/4 and it registered 34. Filled it up and it still ended up at 34. Turned it down some more. Want it about 38 - 40. Love having no freezer which would only ice up. The only negative I can see is, that in their wisdom, read stupidity, they put the temperature control in the back of the unit instead of inside it. The unit is going on a shelf under a counter, which places the control out of reach. They indicate in their advertising that the control is mechanical. Maybe that is the reason it is in the back. Hopefully, the unit will hold its setting once I get it where I want it. If it does not hold its temperature, I will be changing this review drastically.

I have a second job, and this 1.7 cu ft compact fridge without the freezer is perfect for my part-time, one person office. I mainly wanted space to hold lunch, milk, water and this size is perfect for my purposes, with room for additional items. If more than one person used my office, I would have opted for one of the larger sizes. The interior door storage can hold cans/bottles, a half gallon of milk or juice, and the top of the fridge is made of a scratch resistant surface perfect for holding my Keurig or another heavier electronic item. Caveat with this fridge is that the 18-month warranty is voided if used in an outside kitchen or garage since these are apparently not designed for outside installation, or anywhere not temperature controlled, such as carports or porches. Overall, perfect for my purposes and works great with a nice temperature control setting. This model would also be great for a dorm room.

I ordered this from OJ Commerce on 03/09/2018. My refrigerator arrived early. It was very well packaged. I waited for awhile to post a review because I wanted to give it time to see if it worked well. It is very quiet (it does make a little bit of noise when it cycles on, but every refrigerator does, and it is not very loud). It keeps my beverages, sauces, and meats very cold. The interior is extremely well designed and the shelves and door slots are very sturdy! I am extremely happy with my Danby 1.7cuft compact refrigerator. I showed it to my son and he is seriously considering purchasing one too. All of my family and friends are very impressed with the design and workmanship, as am I. Excellent compact fridge that I would highly recommend.

Nice beautifully made compact COLD fridge! Danby products are well made products and never disappoint, this compact fridge is the smallest i could find that works just like a normal fridge and is just perfect for storing my fruits and drinks and ice packs. It is VERY COLD which is perfect, exactly what i needed and is quiet.

Works well storing drink n lunch in my office

A year later and this fridge/freezer runs amazing. It fits alot and stays cool 24/7. Now keep this in mind there is an adjuster on the back of the fridge which you can adjust the temperature, don't turn that sucker to full or even half way unless u want a Antarctica freezer which will explode all your soda and ruin your food at 3 am. I recommend a tad bit adjusted from "0" unless you are looking for a freezer. Aside from all of that its decent on sound it can get pretty loud, but that lasts only 10 minutes then it stops and its quiet for an hour or so.

RV, fridge. It is really cold on high,it will freeze your beer.

Works great, super quiet, compact, fits perfectly for our space. I would highly recommend buying it! Cheap to use all year round!
