Good deal: Danby 4.4 SS All Fridge

Post by mumblecrunch » Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:06 pm

Costco (at least the Halifax store) has the Danby 4.4cu. ft. all fridge on for $189.99. I think BestBuy's regular price on that is $299 (although they appear to have it on sale for $249).

If anyone's looking to build a two-tap kegerator, this is the fridge you want and <$200 for the stainless version is pretty sweet.

Good question. There's nothing to say it hasn't dropped $10 at the Halifax store too; maybe another retailer matched their price? Even if it is different I'm pretty sure if someone were at the Halifax store and had them call Dartmouth the $179.99 price would be honored.

Uhmmm...it's discussed elsewhere but I'm still unsure as to why anyone would want to do this...considering you can buy a plug and play from Best Buy for ~$400+tax. I built a 4.4 into a kegerator about six years back and after adding perlick ss taps, tower, reg. tank etc. I was into it for around $700 if I recall (and no optional sanke connect) I still have it but added a True commercial twin tapped kegerator (sold recently) and a Danby 5.8 cf single tap with two 30 lb tanks. (Bought it cheap...around $250 with Micromatic Sanke Connect and added Everwood corny adapters) Door panel requires cut out and insert...top requires tower hole cut...I still have panel sheeting lol after my move. The only way I'd do it now is if I got a fridge free ...or really cheap...like the $40 near new one I bought for my other halfs shop...

@elreplica i got one of these fridges for free, modifications were free, got a used keg setup from a brewnoser for $100 (co2, kegs, thumb taps) and later added two perlicks to the front of the fridge for ~$100. Even if i had had to buy the fridge for $200 as above, and followed my upgrade path, it would've come out cheaper and better (perlicks, not rando taps) than buying one from BB. just my opinion.
planning: beer for my cousin's wedding

Kegged: barrel barleywine from 2014 - i think i still have this somewhere

As far as I can tell, Princess Auto still sells this model as a "scratch and dent" factory reconditioned fridge for $149.99 (I got mine on sale for $139.99). A good deal IMO if you don't mind a few dents and scuffs...
