Overview
The Danby DAR044A4BSLDD is a 4.4 cubic foot compact all-fridge in stainless steel, built as a counter high unit with no freezer compartment.
The tradeoff some note is that newer units carry a slightly different door shelf and crisper design than older versions.
- 4.4 cu ft, ENERGY STAR rated, no freezer
- Canstor beverage dispenser and reversible door hinge
- R600a refrigerant with automatic defrost
- Tempered glass shelves and vegetable crisper
Who it's for
Good for anyone who wants a dedicated beverage or overflow fridge for a dorm, office, garage or kegerator conversion and does not need a freezer. Less suited to anyone wanting frozen storage, since this model is cooling only.
Pros and cons
