 Detailed Review of Danby DWC612BLP 75 Bottle Wine Cooler November 27, 2006
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
In choosing a wine cellar/cooler I bought the largest model I could get with some style, and price was important, so Danby got my business. br /Here's a little info good and bad on the unit I got (and note that I am happy with the unit and would recommend it, but I'm also not blind to the shortcomings which would certaily affect other's decisions) : br /br /+ Danby DWC612BLP from BigBuyCity on eBay (for example current item on 10/23/2006 #180041697894) for $488+$129.90(shipping)=$617.90 (pretty good deal for 75 bottle system...(was $600 total a few months ago but I see they raised the shipping so a bit more) br /br /+/- Freestanding (not a build-in) which is what I wanted, and the "BLP" model has the coils on the back of the unit. I think that they make another one that has the coils underneath so you can put it up closer to a wall. br /br /- Stupidly noisy compressor. It's a small little Samsung model...but I don't know why it is not more quiet (it might be the system design not the compressor I can't tell). No issue for me as it is in the kitchen, but if you have a very quiet house you may have an issue with this. Absolutely Not for a bedroom. br /br /- Took about 4 weeks to get (This was expected since it has to be trucked in, so just a pain that there were no local dealers and closest next-state in-store retailer wanted $900+ ! ) br /br /+ real wood shelving, sealed, solid, and can take the weight br /br /- It's a bit tight inside, although two shelves can be taken out for more room and allows you to stack bottles on top of each other. br /br /+ Styling is quite good for the price. Typical black metal sides, and nice glass door. br /br /+ The door is built SOLID. Double-pain tempered glass, UV protect, good seal (I had to reverse the door, and this thing is heavy !) br /br /-/+ Door glass is not tinted (but it has UV protection, however no general light protection, and the "platinum" trim is actually a type of, what looks to be, solid color plastic. Still looks good and has a solid feel to it...Not flimsy br /br /- NO childproof door lock (Take careful note of this if you have kids!). Guess they had to save money somewhere. br /br /+ energy efficiency is Quite good. Since I bought it, it averages 0.75KWH per day set at "59F" (the warmest setting) in a 78 degree kitchen. (so less than $42 a year to run at $0.15 KWH electricity cost). And for those that care about such things, the unit has a Power Factor of 0.93 - which is very good...almost looks like a resistive load to the power grid (so very little wasted power). br /br /+ has a basic but nice digital temp control panel and incandescent light pod. Of course if you have a fully stocked unit, the light at the top doesn't help much. Replace the low wattage bulb with a small fluorescent or white LED type if you want to keep the light on all the time (to keep the heat generated from the light down). br /br /+/- Temp variance of 3 degrees once the unit is fairly full. Not too bad I think, but would have been improved if they had a small circulation fan. On the good side you can put whites and roses on the bottom shelve as it stays cooler than the setting (thermostat is in the top control panel / so takes the temp form the top/warmest place). br /br /- Very stupid: if there is a power outage the thing looses it's memory and the temp goes back to a factory preset ! Whoever heard of a modern day digital appliance not remembering the last setting? Well, they had to cut corners somewhere to keep the price down I guess... br /br /+ Mine was missing the "humidity reservoir" (little plastic container), but a quick fax of my purchase info to Danby and they got me one in no time. So GOOD service from Danby at least on this small issue. br /br /Hope this helps. There are not too many reviews about this model, and very few cooler manufacturers publish the energy consumption, which on mine I was actually able to measure and monitor for this review. Danby did a good job producing a cheaper large cooler with some tradeoffs. The biggest concern would be the noise and the lack of a LOCK. br /br /exubri/Dallas areabr /(I also posted this review on [...] which has another review of this model as well.)br /
 Best Buy Ever! November 14, 2006

I have been shopping for a large upright Wine Cooler for over a year. In order for it to fit into the designated space the footprint had to be small, but the capacity had to be large! The price from Amazon was rock bottom. The shipping schedule was right on time. The freight company called to set up delivery and the cooler was delivered on time. It is high quality, beautiful, and all that I was looking for. My wine is chilled perfectly. My friends and family are filled with compliments...I could not be more pleased with this purchase!
 DO NOT BUY FROM ETRONICS December 21, 2005

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING EXPENSIVE OR LARGE FROM ETRONICS. I BOUGHT THIS WINE REFRIGERATOR. 181 POUNDS. IT CAME DENTED AND DID NOT WORK. GUESS WHAT THEY WILL GLADLY EXCHANGE IT IF YOU PAY TO SHIP IT BACK. $175.00 LATER. YOU CAN BUY THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I CHOSE THE WRONG ONE. WELL IT WILL BE CHEAPER FOR ME TO PAY SOMEONE TO FIX IT AND LIVE WITH THE DENT THEN TO PAY THE 175 TO SEND IT BACK. ALSO NOT IT COMES WITH A 2 YEAR IN HOME WARRANTY. THEY DISCLAIM THAT ONLY IF SOMEONE WILL DRIVE TO YOUR HOUSE TO FIX IT. I CALLED 10 PLACES DANBY TOLD ME ABOUT WITHEN A 40 MILE RADIUS TO MY HOUSE AND NO ONE WILL COME BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY IT FROM THEM SO IN REALITY THIS PRODUCT HAS NO WARRANTY. BE WARNED THEY PROBABLY SENT ME THIS DAMAGED PRODUCT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE THEY NEW I WOULD BE STUCK WITH IT. ALSO DONT ASSUME AMAZONS RETURN POLICY APPLIES TO ETRONICS. IT DOES NOT, AMAZON CLAIMS THEY WILL PAY FOR RETURN SHIPPING BUT NOT IF ITS BOUGHT FROM A THIRD PARTY STORE SUCH AS ETRONICS. WELL IM GOING TO ENJOY MY NEW BROKEN, DENTED WINE REFRIGERATOR THAT I WILL PAY TO HAVE REPAIRED 2 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT.
