Our verdict

A counter-high mini fridge with a beverage dispenser and a reversible door. The cabinet is all fridge, and the shelf count is listed two ways.

Overview

Not a refrigerator-freezer, this Danby is a compact all-fridge that stands freestanding at counter height. A Canstor beverage dispenser, interior light and electronic lock round out a black glossy cabinet.

The limit is storage, because no freezer compartment exists and the listing is inconsistent about shelves.

Who it's for

Students, offices and game rooms can chill beverages without a trip to the kitchen. Families wanting a second full-size fridge with a freezer need a larger model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Energy Star rated
  • Canstor beverage dispenser
Cons
  • Shelf count inconsistent in listing
  • Warranty excludes installation and cleaning

Performance notes

A compressor and refrigerant loop chill the cabinet, and the adjustable temperature control sets the cooling level. Automatic defrost limits ice buildup. A reversible door lets it open toward a wall or a room.
