I've never heard of "Danby". Are they a reputable co.?Would this refrigerator be considered "top-of-the-line" "cheap-disposable" or something between?

Well, we saw good reviews on Danby, I did hear @ it too. It was great and no freezer, therefore, no defrost either. We really like it for my husband's cavemen...

I am very happy I bought the Danby model#DDR30AGP because I live in Nashville and I needed a more effective dehumidifier to keep humidity levels below 50%, which a mini-dehumidifier I previously bought could not do. I do not find the noise objectionable, even at a high setting. The noise from the Danby is more like a hum, or the "white noise" some people like in the background get to sleep.

Very good question. I myself have used other UPS's for refrigerators during power outages. While I can't say how well this specific model will work, I can say I have used other brands that have worked just fine.

We wrote our concerns to the particular fulfillment house that sent us the dehumidifier. They then directed us to the location of an approved appliance place for repair. When they said the dehumidifier was unable to be fixed, we contacted Danby. They made the remedy easy. we have a new dehumidifier, and it works like a champ. I do not expect it to die in a year. Hope this helps.

I decided on the danby based on other recommendations and the size of my basement. I've had it for close to a year now and it still works great. Highly recommend. Amazon price was better than Home Depot and Lowes. Hope this helps.

I did not buy Whirlpool or Amana because one particular complaint crops up repeatedly about this model and, when I approached Whirlpool to find out if they had made some sort of running change to improve reliability, they stopped communicating with me. Life is short and I need a new fridge so I did not become expert on the issue. You can see what I'm talking about by going through the reviews. That problem (yours, as well?) manifests when unwanted water freezes in the freezer and then leaks out, sometimes causing considerable floor damage. So...look carefully at the floor of your freezer for excess water.

no, but maybe a better question for the manufacturer. Fridge is good for small kitchens. I have had mine for about 9 months and it has worked well.

Based upon my experience with my OLD Maytag fridge, if the symptom is that the existing relay is cycling and the compressor is not starting normally, save your money and buy a new fridge. It's just a matter of time before the compressor dies altogether and you loose your freezer/fridge contents. I learned the hard way, and a new compressor for an old fridge is $$$. My Maytag was a bottom freezer drawer style and lasted about 7-8 years. Don't make them like they use to. Good luck.

This model Danby 256bl does not list a c ondensor in its parts inventory. It has a compressor and an evaporator. The compressor does get hot and the unit does not cool evenly. It leaves some foods frozen w1th ice, some at about room temperature and some at various levels of cool in between. I made sure my unit is sitting on a level surface and is within all requirements and constraints as is suggested in the owner's manual for proper maintenance and operation. Soooo - I am not too thrilled woth the product. Additionally, It arrived a shambles. The packaging was not to be believed. A piece of foam about 1/8 of an inch under the thin wrapping paper on the sides. Nothing but the wrappping paper on the top torn up and a few pieces of the same hanging off the bottom. There was a nice big gash/dent on the side - but it didn't interfere with the operation of the frig. Under my circumstance, I had to keep it as long as it worked because it was a medical necessity for all medications and other life saving items i needed. Anyway about a few months after it came in it started to create ice on the interior of the frig and I discovered that if this occurredf one must manually defrost it. So regardless of the fact that I purchased this item based on the fact that it was the only one that size advertised as "Frost Free" - It turns out to be a do it yourself frost free. JHope this helped you.

I'm sorry to hear of your problems; it really doesn't seem fair. The expense of returning the thing should definitely not be yours! Dehumidifiers are uniquely problematic, it seems. Our Kenmore and Frigidaire models worked beautifully until they stopped working, and the time was pretty short. We may have better luck with the Soleus.... but as I think I mentioned in my review of it, it's because these contraptions seem to require replacement quite often that we buy relatively cheap ones. My only advice, and you may have tried it already, is to HOWL at these people, long and loud. Be a squeaky wheel. Maybe their sense of fairness will kick in.

I can only speculate that the tank is not draining either because something is clogged or the pump that pumps condensation build up to the tank is broken.The time that I contacted Danby about maintenance questions they were of no help at all which is why I will not purchase another Danby product. If you contact Danby they are going to tell you to tote your unit down to a repair center. The condenser coils should be cleaned annually but Danby offers no instructions on how to do it yourself and will not want to hear from you. Danby people are jerks.

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

My records show LPE5510W0 is a refrigerator number. Sorry, maybe you can verify.

We've had our small Danby all-refrigerator in the garage in Southern California for several years. (Same basic model, but older, with the can storage in the door.) We use it for storing beverages and for storing extra food in preparation for holidays/parties. The only thing we've had trouble with is milk, which seemed to go sour faster if it was kept in the garage frig. Be aware that this frig does have some temperature fluctuations and can freeze items on the bottom shelf. It also needs about 5 inches of space behind it, so the compressor (?) runs correctly.

Duh. They are considered the most reliable by far. If the price shoots above $55, I prefer to grab a bundle of TDKs. Just as reliable in my experiences (3k+ games burnt.)

I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin. I'd be lucky to get one season out of it. My Home Depot purchase lasted over 4 years. I was looking to replace it. It's shocking how identical this one LOOKS to the original. This is a 2 piece screw together design. The Home Depot purchase was one solid piece of metal that was pressed into a bowl with a stable base. This is more like a fancy bowl to put ice and some beers. I feel like I've been dooped. At least I can return it tomorrow. Too bad. I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin.
