Galanz (GL17BK) 1.7 cu. ft. Mini Fridge Reviews

Bought one of these at WM a year and a half ago. Great little fridge, very cold, and very very quiet, perfect beside the bed. Then at one and a half years, 6 months out of warranty, !POOF! compressor failed. Diagnostics showed it pulling the Locked compressor current until the thermal protection shut it off until it cooled down. Not the starting relay, tried that. Not worth fixing, and no recourse with warranty, etc. garbage.

Piece of junk. Worked for about one hour and then quit. Plugged into different circuit to see if there might be a problem with the outlet, but no joy. Might make a good boat anchor.

It's a decent mini fridge that holds exactly the amount of things that I personally use. I did have to remove the shelf to fit a Brita water jug and some milk. Previous customers were not lying when they said this thing was loud. I've only had it 2 days and my roommate came asking what was that noise.

Had for less than 1 year and the entire freezer section completely separated from unit. Its just hanging there now. It also makes a loud buzzing noise.

It gets cold but not cold enough. I put water in the "chiller/freezer" part and after days... it never freezes. I put a cup of ice in the freezer and it melts. It can keep things from spoiling but that is about it. I have yet to take one thing out of it that is "ice cold". It is also loud and leaks. So if you can spend a little more for something better... do it.

So far so Great!!! Fits perfectly in my room on a night stand I have!! It works perfect! I was skeptical about it but I am SO GLAD it works! It's one of my best purchases!!!

Took a while to get here but seems to work just fine for what I bought it for. Outside beverage holder for summertime.

It is very compact and just the right size for our bedroom. My wife is diabetic and this is just the right size to keep her insulin in and out of reach of the wondering grandchildren.

I cannot actually write a review of how this product works. I bought it to put in a specific place that requires the door to be attached on the left side. It comes with the door attached on the right side, but the door is purported to be adjustable. Simply take off various parts and replace them on the other side. However, that requires taking off the "door handle plug" off the the left side of the door so that you can put the hinge there. No amount of trying to pry it off with various screwdrivers or swearing could get the ^$

I purchased this to REPLACE the (exact) same size - 17.5 inches wide - unit purchased a little cheaper elsewhere (it DIDN'T work and I think it was refurbished because although it had a different brand name, it was actually made by Galanz). I have had it plugged in and WORKING BEAUTIFULLY for less than a week... but, I couldn't be happier! It is very small (if you need to really stock as Covid-19 has forced)... but NO complaints! It is quiet. I have ice in the freezer. A coke and a beer are happy in the tray under the little freezer. I am so grateful to have a weeks+ worth of good food (instead of being forced to eat only canned goods during this challenging time)!!! And, another bonus... Walmart's free delivery was expedited through FedEx. They delivered a day EARLY and the nice guy carried it to my front door. Does it get any better? I think NOT!!! NOTE: I did lots of research in advance on what to do the FIRST TIME it was plugged in... especially with regard to making sure the freezer worked... AND, I read the directions - cover to cover - before plugging in. I left it empty - except for a small plastic container full of water in the freezer to test - and turned to MAXIMUM "coldest" (farthest right) for over 12 hours without reopening the door. When I checked the freezer for the status of the ice, it was doing well but not 100% frozen. It took another 8 hours on "coldest" for the ice to be frozen solid. THEN... I turned it to "cold" (middle) which seemed to be a good temp overall. However, when I added groceries, I readjusted it to the next colder setting (turning toward the right). That is where it is right now, full, and it seems PERFECT! By the way, that freezer will hold a pint of ice cream (on its side)... AND, you might need "mini" ice trays. GOOD... GOOD... GOOD...!

The mini fridge shared in the office is always filled with water bottles (no storage on the doors either which was annoying), and there was no space for my coffee creamer. I started putting them on their side at the very bottom which caused some leaks and an ant infestation. I got fed up and started hunting for my own mini fridge to put under my desk since I had lots of room to utilize. I didn't need a large, fancy, expensive fridge with a freezer--just something small for my creamer, the occasional cold snack, and maybe my flavored water. This fridge had good reviews and was affordable. After measuring the space under my office desk (THANK YOU for adding the measurements in the ad!), I purchased it, and it arrived quickly with no problems. Being a not-so-strong female, I was shocked how easy it was to set this up without getting frustrated and pathetically looking around for someone's help. I've had it for a couple weeks now and have had no issues with it thus far! It keeps everything in it nice and cold. Both of my bottles of creamer don't fit on the door, so I just removed the tray. I was a little concerned that it would make me really cold while being under my desk, but I'm always cold anyway, so I don't notice much of a difference. I recommend to anyone who needs a good-working, affordable, simple mini fridge for just one or two people.
