Overview
Storing a small wine collection at cellar temperature is the job here: Danby's freestanding cooler chills a single zone with a compressor behind a tempered glass door that blocks ultraviolet light. Black wire shelves hold the bottles, a blue LED lights the interior, and the door swings from either side.
Capacity and a compressor make the case: a modest footprint stores a home bar's worth of wine at steady cellar temperatures. Single zone cooling means one setting for everything, so anyone serving whites cold and reds warmer has to compromise.
Who it's for
Home bars, dining rooms and small restaurants with a modest stock of everyday bottles suit its capacity. Collectors aging wine at two temperatures, or anyone wanting it built under a counter, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compressor cooling for steady temperatures
- UV-blocking tempered glass door
- Reversible door swing
- Key lock deters casual access
- Single zone, one temperature for all bottles
- Listed cabinet dimensions look incorrect
- Freestanding design, not for built-in use
Performance notes
Temperature stability comes from the compressor and the airflow around the cabinet, so it needs open space around it to shed heat. A full, chilled load holds temperature better, while frequent door opening lets warm air in. The glass door limits light exposure, but direct sun on the cabinet still makes the compressor work harder.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Danby DWC036A1BSSDB-6 be installed under a counter?
Danby lists it as a freestanding unit and says nothing about front venting, so give it open air space instead of building it into a cabinet run.
Can I store red and white wine at different temperatures in the Danby DWC036A1BSSDB-6?
No. It is a single zone cooler, so every bottle shares one setting within its 43 to 57 F range.
Does the Danby wine cooler door open from either side?
Yes. The door swing is reversible, so it can open from the left or the right.
What are the real dimensions of the Danby DWC036A1BSSDB-6?
The listing gives 30 x 8 x 6 inches, which cannot house a 3.3 cubic foot cabinet. Treat those figures as an error and confirm the size with Danby before measuring your space.
