Galanz 10 Cu.Ft. Refrigerator

It works great for a college student! I bought it because I live in a 4 bedroom apartment. I live with 3 other girls who fill the fridge like crazy! I saw this fridge on sale for $300! I went and bought it asap. Works like a charm. I cook a LOT and I bake. Fills everything I cook perfectly fine! I cook large portions too and make snacks. I also use it to store my canning products like pumpkin puree. Its aesthetic in my room. I wanted red, but im kind of glad I got black. The helpers were great! I didnt get any dints as far as I know. They didn't help take off the cardboard though. Wouldve been nice if they did. Its all good though! They also couldn't stay for me to review the dints before accepting it. Thats understandable. The extra help was necessary since I'm a female and I live on the second floor. I originally wanted this outside, but I realize you have to get a specialty fridge for that plus it seems like this fridge is fragile to dints. It also might not be a good investment if you move a lot. I worry about the denting. Also I appreciate galanz for keeping their fridges very slender. It helps for keeping it in small places! Again, perfect for a college student! One upside about moving is if its an apartment that is without a fridge I have a nice sturdy fridge to use. If it does have a fridge, this galanz fridge is slender enough to fit anywhere aesthetically!

Elegant design. Efficient and compact. Easy to set temperature.

Seriously a bad buy. I first ordered the retro black model in 2021, and it was a "major" purchase for someone who rents. It was delivered and set up and 2 days later I had to throw away all the food in my fridge. The freezer was okay but it's small and I couldn't put anything else in it. Amazon agreed to replace it and I was told that the delivery drivers would haul away the broken one. Fine, until Amazon charged me for both because they couldn't find the original one that was taken away. Funny! Eventually we worked it out and got a discount which just about paid for wasted food. 4 years later and I am once again working with a cold freezer and no refrigeration. Be careful. It runs hot and sometimes does sound like it will explode, while the food in the fridge starts to freeze. Now I wouldn't replace it with another Galanz, even if they hadn't significantly raised the prices. Do more research if you are looking for a fridge. I know I will be

Buy an unfamiliar brand refrigerator through Amazon? Am I crazy? What if it doesn't work right? What if it's too tiny? What if it's cheaply made? What if it looks cheap? What if it doesn't stand the test of time? What if arrives dented or defective? What do I do? How hard is it to return? All Excellent questions. Which is why I hesitated to buy this adorable, retro looking refrigerator. In the end, however, I shouldn't have worried. Everything about this Galanz refrigerator is perfect: Delivered in perfect condition. Perfect size, visually. Ample interior room for short term rental use. Looks amazing. Works like a champ. Excellent warranty. BOTTOM LINE: Amazon makes buying a refrigerator easy. The delivery process is professional & efficient. And the Galanz 10 CU. FT. refrigerator is perfect in every way. If you're hesitating to buy, don't.

We just rec'd our 10cuft Galanz fridge. We looked hard for the right fridge to place in our home bar/game room. We didn't want or need a full size fridge and we thought the retro look would fit in there perfectly. There were other retro fridges available that were considerably more expensive, that had nearly identical reviews. We could have purchased an ordinary fridge for a bit cheaper, but then it wouldn't have had the stylish retro look we were looking for. For our needs of holding beverages and ice in our home bar/game room, as well as not taking up a tremendous amount of space, this fridge is going to work perfectly. I cannot attest to the longevity and energy efficiency of the fridge yet, so I capped my review at 4 stars. Should this fridge prove to last and be efficient (enough), I will return to upgrade it to 5 stars.

Bottom line: we love it. It is cold and quiet! I purchased it through Amazon and it was shipped by Amazon. It arrived in perfect condition, delivered by JB Hunt. Unpacking was easy. A few quirky, one-off issues: I kept finding broken glass in the bottom after repeated cleanings. Where was it coming from??? The bottom glass shelf that serves as the roof of the storage bin seems to have been broken and replaced. However, some glass was stuck in the mounting slot for the shelf. I cleaned it out and all was fine. The good news, the glass was shatter proof, so no sharp shards……also the shelf had been replaced. At least it didn’t arrive with a broken shelf! My other problem was that the screws for the handles did not fit properly. I’m still trying to get replacements from Galanz. They have seemed to upped their game in terms of Customer Service, so I hope they will come through. I have managed a temporary fix in the meantime. Lastly, I have an issue of condensation puddling at the bottom. I have several science degrees, but I can’t figure it out. There is no drain, as far as I can tell. Moisture can get in if there is a bad seal. However, there is a strong vacuum lock after opening and closing indicating a tight seal. Overall, we love it!!! Cold and quiet!!! Five stars!!! EDIT: Galanz supplied new handles and screws to replace the faulty ones. Customer service has improved immensely since my initial warranty inquiry.

update: dec 2025 once again the refrigerator part was not cooling. I went through all the troubleshooting steps thinking maybe it was the drain tube which is not in a normal place it’s at the top in the back behind the temperature thing. I put some red Kool-Aid down there and it came out the bottom back real easy so I knew the tube wasn’t clogged up. Again it turned out to be it froze between the interior walls on the back. Literally have to unplug it let it thaw out for at least a day figure out what you’re gonna do with your food in the freezer and figure out what you’re gonna do with your food in the refrigerator while it’s thawing itself out. Then you gotta figure out how to get all the water that drips in the drip tray pan thing in the bottom at the back how to get all that water out because there’s no way to stick anything in there to suck it out. So I figure I’ll be unplugging it and let it fall out every 4 to 6 months if I keep it. The other problem is and I should warn everybody do not put gallons of milk or 2 L of soda in the door even though it says it supposed to don’t do it. You will end up like me and your door will not lineup and seal correctly. I don’t know how to raise the door up permanently I have a screwdriver in there holding the door up so it seals otherwise the seal does not lineup on the refrigerator section. It makes the most weirdest noises sounds like someone’s stomach is growling. When I did reach out to the company when I first had the issue a couple years ago I guess they were literally no help. so I’m supposed to be able to in my mind to fix the door not lining up with the seal or the seal not lining up with the refrigerator it seems like I have to take the door off don’t ask me how I’m gonna do that and then put like another nut underneath to raise it up and then put the door back on . Yeah OK I live in a tiny house how the hell am I gonna freaking get a door off all by myself and put it back on the worst part is you can’t even switch the directions that the doors open up it’s just one side so I can’t even like switch the hinges since I think the milk in the sodas made the door lean down. I am never buying anything from this company again. Yeah it looks cute but it’s not worth the hassle of having to defrost it every few months and you can’t fill it up too much because that will make it freeze up faster has to have a lot of circulation. Water drips down underneath the vegetable drawer and makes a nasty mess… every couple of months. So right now I have a screwdriver wedged under the door to raise it up so it seals correctly until I can figure out what I’m gonna do. They do not make things like they used to this is only 3 1/2 years old and I’ve had problems every few months. I got the black 10 ft.³ refrigerator freezer May 2022. up to the last two months things in the back of the refrigerator would freeze. Lotta times making them useless. You can't use sour cream if it freezes you can't use salad after it freezes etc... I've also noticed since I've had the refrigerator freezer it makes these weird noises it almost sounds like someone's stomach is growling when they're hungry. Recently recently I've noticed the refrigerator part is not cooling as well as it used to. My sodas are cool but they're not cold. Stuff isn't freezing in the back anymore either. I've tried adjusting the knobs in the freezer and the refrigerator to see if that does anything but so far it hasn't. My friend told me maybe I should pull it out and vacuum underneath of it or something? I'm also going to empty it completely out wipe it out maybe somethings clogged up? I don't know I really can't afford to buy another refrigerator right now especially after hurricane beryl. most everybody in Houston - I'm in Sargent right with the hurricane hit received $750 for miscellaneous and food replacement and what not and I just got my letter saying I'm denied. They're probably out of money after hurricane Debby hit Florida And went up the East Coast. And we still have more than three months left of hurricane season. I never get any assistance and I don't even have any insurance health or home. They don't make things like they used to. Not enough profit if something lasts 20 or 30 years. So they keep making junk so you have to keep replacing it which is not good for the environment Since it fills up all the landfills. update july 30 2025 - once again I noticed the refrigerator was not cooling but the freezer was working fine since I troubleshot last time this happened I knew what to do. I had to empty out everything in the freezer I put it in the refrigerator to keep everything in there cool. I got my steamer and started melting the ice that built up on the bench in the back then I unplugged it for a couple hours cleaned out the freezer part since it was empty. When I plugged it back in I put the thermometer in the refrigerator section and it seems to be cooling once again in the refrigerator section. It seems like you can't really put a whole lot of stuff in the freezer section and on the left side of the refrigerator you can't have it next to anything it needs like at least 12 inches of space or it gets extremely hot it gets hot anyway but it gets hotter if you have it up against something on the left side. I really like this refrigerator freezer combo but I don't like when it quits cooling and I have to spend hours doing this defrost emptying it out crap.

Two years ago I bought the smaller 4.6 Cu Foot version of this and have been very happy with it. Also have a 2.5 Cu Ft small unit (not this brand) that has been going good for nearly sixty years now. Felt like I could get by with two small units but started realizing more space would be very nice. So This 10 Cu Foot model is perfect, gives me twice the space as the smaller unit, and came with the bonus that I didn't notice when I ordered it of Self Defrosting for both the fridge and freezer. The 4.6 Ft unit is also self defrosting but not the freezer part. When I decided to get this unit I opted for one without an ice maker and use a counter-top ice maker instead. This was based upon input from a repairman who mentioned how refrigerators with fewer things to wear out are best. I like very much the self defrosting freezer with its own door, which also has its own independent temp control.
