Danby DWC172BL 1.8-Cu.Ft. 17-Bottle Counter-Top Wine Cooler, Black Review

I did a bit of research before deciding to purchase the Danby. The price was right and reviews of other makes tended to say things like "stopped working after n months". Also, the thermoelectric technology on many of the other makes doesn't seem to be able to keep things cool if the temperature reaches above 85 or 90, which is quite easy to achieve in NY during the summer. The Danby has an old tech compressor which is time tested and should be reliable for years. The major problem is vibration. When it's running the thing vibrates the wine bottles excessively. This is bad for long term evolution of wine. But, if you have bottles for long term this thing is way too small to begin with. My long term stuff is in a wine storage facility. The other problem is the temperature control. Wine shoud be stored at 53-55deg. At the very, very lowest setting (knob turned to just above where it turns off) it varies between 49-53deg, as tested by a Taylor 1458 wireless temp/humidity gauge. A little too low but acceptable for short term, at least it's not too high which will ruin wine faster than anything. Humidity is also diffcult to maintain and is too low (30-40%) even with a bowl of water and wet paper towel. These faults make it useless for long term storage of wine (several years), but for short term (months) it should be fine.

Danby Silhouette 51 Bottle Wine Cooler Review

While 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.

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.

Danby Silhouette Built-In Or Free Standing Wine Cooler - 54 Bottle Review

I enjoyed this cooler for about a year even though it did struggle to maintain temperatures. Then it finally quit maintaining temperatures all together. I contacted Danby and they sent out an 'in home service' technician. It was determined it needed a new control card. To make a long story short, 6 months, 3 control cards and a transformer later, I was issued a refund in the form of a gift card for the big box store in which I made the purchase. I had to ask for the refund to stop the insanity of repeated attempts of replacing a card 3 times and expecting a different result. Danby customer service is horrible. Call their service number and it is no less than a 30 min on hold wait to speak to someone. Forget about a returned call. I was told they would get back with me only to never get the return call. After a little research, I found that the temperature control issues is a chronic problem among several of their models.
