Danby Designer 3.3 cu.ft. Compact Refrigerator, Black/ Spotless Steel

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Evaluated from a functional perspective, the mini fridge gets 4 stars. The door pockets aren't gianormous, but are adequate for a fridge of its size. One shelf is adjustable with a fairly big range. It has leveling feet & the door's opening direction is reversible. The fit & finish is above average - the back is completely flush & none of the coils are exposed. I honestly can't think of anything more I could want in terms of the design.



I'm docking it a star for the door's finish. I didn't read between the lines when I selected the model and assumed I knew what "spotless" steel meant. The picture make me expect that I was getting a STAINLESS steel finish. From the right angle, in the perfect light, at an adequate distance, it could pass for it. Just like a carefully selected "selfie" though, the actual package is less desirable. Most of the time, the fridge just looks like it has a gray door. Upon closer inspection, it's just a plastic or painted brush stroke veneer over a glossy gray finish. It's not offensive to the eyes by any means, but it definitely wasn't the sleek appliance I thought I had purchased.
