Danby DBC514BLS 5.3 Cu. Ft. Silhouette Beverage Center - Black/Stainless



noisey
This fridge looks great, and it is the right size for under the counter in our kitchen, we bought it to keep all the drinks out of the big fridge.... but man! It drives us crazy constantly turning on and off, literally 10 times a minute. We have tried turning the temp up and keeping it full, but to no avail. It is really noticeable and bothersome in the quiet moments of the morning and evening...just when you want to relax and enjoy your kitchen. It's almost like it's breathing and straining. We are bummed about it.

Perfect wetbar fridge
This is a beautiful bev fridge that looks sleek and modern in our new wetbar. The blue light definitely has the "wow" factor and it does not warm the fridge like a traditional bulb can. The temperature is holding true at 39 degrees (which is the lowest setting since it is really the wine fridge with different shelves). It does exactly as promised and looks amazing doing it.

Failed in less than a year of use
We had the Silhouette less than a year when it started getting loud and would no longer hold it's temperature. We called for warranty service but because it was a new home and it had been in the home 6 months longer, Danby wouldn't cover it. We had the builder's receipt and the house purchase info but they didn't care. I pulled it out of the cabinet just to check that it perhaps didn't have some simple problem like an air obstruction on the fan. It was extremely hot on the outside. No obstruction found. It did however proudly proclaim the city in China where it was manufactured.

Given the reviews here I can't see putting any money into this. I'll think I will look for another manufacturer.
