I'd be in for 4 at a $30 price point.

It is close, but not quite. You'll need about a 1/2" shim around the lid.

Yep, sorry, I typo'd it (twice). I edited my post with the correct info.

I got my Danby 8.7CF DCFM246WDD chest freezer today, and it is the perfect 'little' big keezer. As I estimated, it actually holds 6 ball-locks on the floor and 2 on the hump with no problem (they slide in easy, it isn't a tight fit, but there's not much extra space front-to-back either). You...

I've got a 2009 5-cf holiday keezer in the 'bar' area of our family room (next to a similar sized wine cooler). It's about as loud as a refrigerator is generally. Usually not noticeable. The wine fridge is definitely the noisier of the 2. If you want quiet, I would definitely spring for a...

After a lot of time spent looking ,I finally decided to buy the Danby 7.8 from Home Depot (DCFM246WDD) to upgrade my 5CF Holiday. Unfortunately I couldn't find one in person to see, and I found nothing on Google about anyone using it for a Keezer. This is a very interesting looking freezer...

I'll have to make a thread about it sometime. Basically, I pulled the load-cells out of digital bathroom scales, hooked up some electronics to interface with a microcontroller, and send the output to the lcd screen. In effect it is a glorified digital scale, but with the output calibrated in...

Yep, that's them. I have them, and they work, but in the end found they aren't very helpful to me, since I need to pull the kegs out to get at the strips. I much prefer being able to know how much beer is in a keg without needing to open up the freezer

I thought I'd show off my current setup. 2 5-gal cornies + 1 3-gal corny in a 5CF Keezer hand-turned pulls, and a digital readout of number of pints left on each keg on the front. I've got a nitro/stout tap ready to install, and am planning to go up to a larger freezer soon too, but if I add...

You can get temperature strips that run along the side of the keg. you wet them with warm water and they'll cool faster where there is liquid, which ends up with a color-change mark on the tape. Or you can do what I've done and build electronic scales for each keg which are then calibrated...

I'bve got a holiday 5cf which will hold 2 on the floor and one (3gal) on the hump, but I need a 2nd chest freezer to use as a....freezer. I was thinking of repurposing my 5cf for that and upgrading to something that'll hold 6 cornies. Has anyone looked at the Danby 8.7 at Home Depot? It has...
