Question: Is it Thermoelectric or Compressor cooled and what is the average temperature cooling range. Thank you
Document: I wanted a small wine refrigerator that had a compressor and not thermoelectric. this Danby seemed to fit the bill. I have had the cooler for about 6 weeks and it is working fine, no complaints. Does a good job chilling wine at the temperature chosen and is not noisy at all. So far i am pleased with the purchase.
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.
This isn't even worth it for a basic collector. There isn't a temperature display, but the large problem here is that the temperature control switch offers NO range at all. You could for example set it to highest or lowest settings and get no difference AT All in actual temperature. Not only that but the temperature is too cold for red wine to be properly stored. I hate to be a perfectionist here but hey, isn't that why we buy these things in the first place?
This wine cooler is thermoelectric so it takes some time to cool 16 bottles that are inserted at room temp down to 55 degrees. The unit worked well and was relatively quiet when it was running. All you hear is a little fan running that cools the thermcooling fins on the back.HOWEVER-I bought this unit as a gift for my wife along with a two year warranty. Good thing to because one year and one week after purchase the unit died.
I bought this to use as extra space when my husband comes home from the farmer's market with too much stuff. I didn't want one with the tiny freezer. And I wanted one with an old fashioned compressor, because I try not to use the AC much, and it gets warm in the house. It cools quickly, and hardly makes a sound..a faint hum and a few gurgles from time to time. I cant hear it at all from the next room.
Bought this unit From TheFactoryDepot via Amazon at the end of July 2010, and it worked until late April 2011 (warranty is good until April 2012). When it ceased working, I visited the Danby website to find a service depot. Located one nearby, dropped off the unit. After a week went by, I was told the compressor had failed, and was directed (by the depot) to contact the seller for return/replacement. Called TheFactoryDepot and was told I need to contact the manufacturer.
Looks great. Fits our space. Holds right number of bottles for us. But temperature either 40 or 60 degrees. Neither good for storing wine. Cannot get the temperature we want. Would send it back. But major undertaking for me--too heavy and bulky. Keeping as extra frig.
The best part was when I called to tell Danby of the problem customer service told me the problem was an isolated problem they've never had before and that the temperature should be able to be adjusted. SO I sent back and received another, then another. None of them ever got warmer (or colder) than 45 degrees and I have sent it back a final time. KEEP SHOPPING AROUND!
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.
We got this refrigerator about 4 months ago and have really enjoyed it. We needed to keep the budget low and this fit the bill. We've had no problems with it, mechanically - it runs great, keeps the wine cool, and has enough room for our needs. When it arrived, the manual described variable temperatures at different levels of the fridge, this is not so! The fridge is all one temperature. Also, we keep it on the lowest setting and this seems good for our white wine.
Answer: It has a compressor. My 2 wine coolers are able to maintain a low of about 50 when the setting is on low. Cools fast. I have many of the expensive wines in these coolers and they have kept well. I also use one of them exclusively for the whites and they have kept cool. I keep both of mine at the low setting only because the medium gets the wines very cold. a half hour before opening transfer the whites to the regular refrigerator and serve. My oldest one is 7 or 8 years old and working good as new. Also consumes very little power at the low setting. Stacked creatively you can squeeze 18 bottles into it.
