Product review (2 stars): Thermostat doesn't do anything!
I have three of these and after buying the last one I decided to actually check the internal temperature. What I have found is that the thermostat really doesn't do anything. The temperature varies between 38 (rarely) and 44 degrees regardless of where I have the dial set. So I tried the same experiment with the other two units and lo and behold - the same thing: the temperature control doesn't work! We only use these as beverage coolers in the summer and we never really noticed the not-quite-cold internal temperature. I guess they are fine for keeping beers and sodas sort of cold, but DO NOT expect a nice frosty cold-one from this model (DAR044A4BDD). Also don't use it for fresh foods as they will not last long. I called Danby direct and asked what the internal temperature of my model should be when set to maximum and here's the email reply:

There is no way any of my 3 units get anywhere near 32.8 degrees. My guess is that the people who have given this model 4-5 stars haven't tried my experiment...
