Danby Silhouette 51 Bottle Wine Cooler Review

Danby Silhouette 51 Bottle Wine CoolerWhile esthetically pleasing, this unit really disappoints. The Danby Wine Cooler is the noisiest appliance in our house. This unit would be fine for a busy bar but is unacceptable for residential use. All three fans used in the unit are cheap plastic fans like you would expect to find on an old PC. If you've ever had a fan go out on your computer, double that noise and you'll have some idea what you're in for.

I'll echo what has been pointed out in other reviews on the web that the thermostat settings default too low and the shelves are a pain to pull out. Also, I don't know if this is standard but two shelves for red and four shelves for white isn't a very good ratio for our wine tastes.

We had our cabinets made with this unit in mind, I hope there are others that will fit the hole.

I'm disappointed to hear (from another review) that the noise isn't covered by warranty. The fan on the refrigeration unit will be relatively simple to replace but the internal circulation fans are not. If they are anything like the PC fans they appear to be, noise is usually followed quickly by failure. Just hope they go while the warranty is still good.

If you're looking to capture that small diesel engine in the kitchen ambiance, this unit is for you.
