Danby Designer 38-Bottle Free-Standing Dual-Zone Wine Cooler - Black

Has been a great wine fridge. Would recommend it to anyone. Reasonably priced.

Have had for approx. 6 months. It has performed flawlessly. The temp. readouts are easy to see and it's nice that the inside light comes on when you open the door.

The wine fridge is what I was looking for. The style is perfect. Love the black wood shelves instead of the lighter wood you normally see. The stainless accent also makes it look very stylish. The shelves seem very light, however, since the weight of bottles add to it I am sure should not be too heavy.

When I took mine out of the box and started to load my wine the screw that holds the top of the door handle was broke. I am going through this big exchange process right now, and am pretty frustrated with the whole process. The cooler itself is beautiful and very functional, Im just upset that mine arrived with this door handle defect.

Pro: It has a lot of space for many bottles. Good for small collection. The cooler is stylish and attractive. Good feature at the right price. Con: A bit tight for larger wine bottles. The silver trim paint in the front easily scratches off by the bottles. Temperature reset on power outage. This is not really a con for cooler at this price range.

The button bracket on the inside bottom, was broken, so I had to tape the button so the light would shut off and the unit would run. Other than that it was ok and works great. I tried to call but never got my call returned.

Nice cooler if you can't install a built in-- which I thought this was when I purchased it online. Wish for shelving depth and height to be equal throughout; larger bottles only really fit on top shelf. Very quiet unit.

After reading dozens of on-line reviews, most of which complained about receiving a damaged unit, I decided to take a chance and order one. Like so many of the reviews from various on-line sources mine arrived damaged and I had to haul this 100 lb unit back to Walmart. What a pain and disappointment since it was a Christmas present for my wife. Most of the reviews I read on-line were not from Walmart, so I'm not blaming Walmart for the damages. The packaging was poor with very little protection, so I blame Danby. I gave the rating all 1's because in my mind receiving a damaged unit is the same as one that doesn't work. I realize that in some respects this isn't fair, but it is what it is.

The fridge started off well, but after 4 months it now hums like a generator / aircraft engine. It is so loud and the hum goes in and out such that it is a horrible distraction. The magnet keeping the door closed also never worked from the start so unless you/guests are very careful about delicately closing the door each time it gets opened it often ends up being a few inches open. Very disappointed.

Love my 2 small fridges, dislike my wine cooler. It always goes back to factory settings after a blurp in the hydro, and has to be reset again. It constantly runs---short spurts--on a few minutes, then off a few minutes---often with a loud clunk. We find it very noisy and annoying.
