It is widely known that the Danby brand is one of the best on the market when it comes to kitchen appliances that are compact, affordable, and eco-friendly. While this company offers a variety of different capacity refrigerators, this one seems to be just right for your average needs. It features an attractive and spotless finish that goes great with an elegant modern design.

Who is this product for?

We have to mention that students and people living in smaller apartments are those that would get the most use out of it. Also, those who are environmentally conscious and don’t need more than 92 liters of refrigerator storage capacity are going to find great use out of it as well. 

What’s included?

Apart from the handy refrigerator, and the smooth worktop surface, you are getting a CanStor dispenser as well as a convenient in-door tall-bottle compartment. Additionally, the R600a agent is one of the best eco-friendly refrigerants on the market and something that goes along with this offer. 

Overview of features

We have to say that the design is incredibly innovative and respected for its spotless, stainless steel finish. Not only does it offer 92 liters worth of capacity but also a number of spill-proof shelves as well a freezer, that could use a little boost regarding its performance. Overall, there is not much to say against the design itself. It will fit the style of any modern apartment or an average student dorm while allowing the efficiency and performance of your standard refrigerator.

Made according to the latest standards, you will be able to enjoy this refrigerator on a daily basis without having to worry about whether you are making a negative impact on the environment. Great capacity, tall bottle storage, and a few shelves are what makes this product so convenient and superb compared to other models on the market. On top of all that, it features a freezing aspect as well.

One of the best things about it is that you don’t need to put almost any effort into setting it up. Yes, the freezer lacks consistency, but given the fact that this product is followed up by an 18-month warranty, it really is not something that you should worry too much about. Overall, we are looking at a compact and reliable refrigerator manufactured by one of the best brands on the relevant market.

How to use it

Similar to its competitors, this refrigerator offers the option for the temperature to be mechanically set up. As for turning it off and on, it all comes down to using the switch. Overall, nothing complicated, and for anything you are not confident about, there is the handy user’s guide you can consult.

Alternatives

RCA 3.2 Cu. Feet Refrigerator

While looking for the other options to the reviewed Danby, we ran into this RCA product that has almost the same features, yet at a somewhat lower price. Yes, the warranty policy is not as good as that offered by the Danby company, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks design quality. If you are looking to try something new, we recommend that you go ahead and give this mini refrigerator a chance.

Conclusion

You can’t go wrong with the DANBY Compact Refrigerator with Freezer. Yes, it may need some upgrades when it comes to the freezing compartment, but apart from that it is reliable, compact and most importantly, eco-friendly. If you could like a fridge with a freezer that will stand the test of time, this DANBY refrigerator is just what you need.

However, if it is not quite what you were looking for or you need a fridge with freezer at a lower price, our alternative option by RCA is worthwhile considering too.
