3.0 out of 5 stars Does not work correctly out of box, April 29, 2007

By 

Rick Van Hazel (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Loud and Bad Service, May 24, 2005

By 

Dry as a bone "Dry as a bone" (Southington, CT) - See all my reviews

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!!!!

This review is from: Danby DKC645BLS 5.8-Cu.Ft. Designer Beer Keg Cooler, Black/Stainless (Kitchen)

After purchasing a Nostalgia kegerator, which was a total piece of crap, I purchased this better model on the advice of a friend. We were immediately happy when we opened the packaging and found that this model came with a 5 lb. CO2 tank. This is hard to find with these $500-$600 models. This Danby was easy to set up and I love the digital temperature gauge on the front, I can set the temperature to the exact degree that I want.

I would highly recommend this model over any others in this price range. Don't bother with the lower priced models either.
