Does not work correctly out of boxApr 30, 2007
By Rick Van Hazel
Out of the box, this unit will not function correctly. You will have serious problems with foaming beer because of 3 defects.
1. Temperature regulator does not sense liquid temperature. It is also located too close to the cooling plate and needs to be moved further away to get a more accurate reading.
2. The tower does not flow cool air and ambient temperature inside is much higher than it needs to be
3. The spigot is also non-conventional and doesnt encourage an even flow
As far as I know, mine doesnt make any noises at all so I'm not sure what the other review is referring to or if they have a unit that isnt working correctly.
All of the above problems can be corrected.
Temperature -
a) Purchase a new regulator and bypass danby's.
b) Move the sensor away from its current position and put it in water to get a more accurate "liquid" reading.
Tower - Install a small fan to circulate air into the tower
Spigot - Replace with a standard one
Unfortunately for Amazon reviews, i cant link to other information that will help you do all of this, but if you search for the name of the unit, links that will help, show up very high in the list.

 Too Loud and Bad ServiceMay 24, 2005
By Dry as a bone
"Dry as a bone"
I bought this product at Home Depot and from the beginning it was extremely loud. The rest of the unit wasn't too bad it was a nice looking fridge. After only about 2 weeks I noticed that the temperature would vary between 32 and 45 (I had the setting set for 34) and the unit would not start cooling until it hit 45. After a few more days the unit failed to cool at all. That's where the fun began, serval calls later we finally had a service tech out who took it back to the shop... and that was 1 month ago - calls to Danby and the Service tech get answers of "we are waiting on a circuit board from China - should be arriving in a few weeks". I have sent e-mails to Danby with no returns. I have threaten to take it back to Home Depot and have been told that if I want to do that, I will have to pick it up from the service tech (15 miles away). Stay away from Danby!!!!
 Not sure what everyone has been complaining aboutJan 19, 2012
By Plano Man

We have had this Kegerator for over 5 years.. it has sat in our garage, here in the Dallas area year round...
The garage goes from 30 degrees or less in the winter, up to 140 degrees in the summer, and the Danby keeps the beer a constant 34-37 degrees... it has never failed us.... this has been one of the best purchases we have made...
I am very glad we did not listen to many of the reviews on this unit or we would have missed out.
It's amazing, with the negative marks on this unit on Amazon, over 5 years later, the company is still selling the same unit... must mean they are doing something right or they would have discontinued it years ago....
I highly recommend this unit... it will save a ton of money down the road!!!
Best Value and Good ProductAug 29, 2011
By Bill S.
I purchased this keg cooler after reading many poor reviews on it. I decided to take the chance and buy it anyways and I love it. The beer is cold, but it would be nice to get it a little colder. I chill my glasses right in the kegerator so my first beer is always cold. I have only owned it for about a month but it is great.
 good productAug 01, 2011
By bob
I only have had this for 2 weeks. Setup was easy, find a place where CO2 if filled before you get this. I needed to fill CO2 and get keg and thats it. I set it up put the keg in and let it settle for 24 hours and poured the first beer. It was great but the foam was about 1/2 the beer. I made sure all the connections was good and followed the instructions about tilting the glass and having the spoout 1/4 inch away from the glass and still foam. My friend came over and poured the spout on the glass and very little foam about 1/2/ inch which is perfect. So dont follow the instructions on how to pour the beer. The other issue has been the temp. of the beer. The lowest setting is 36 degrees but it gets down to 34 and when I put a real thermometer the lowest is 28 degrees and highest is 38 so no problem there. I only have to worry about durability cause I have only had it 2 weeks of course. So no foam issue and beer is plenty cold enough. I definitely would reccomend this product. Oh anonther this Coors light does come in a standard 1/2 keg size just ask and it fits fine...no problems at all.
