Galanz 12 Cu.Ft. Refrigerator

So far so good. It does take a bit to cool down but after about 4 hours it got cool and has stayed cool. Noise level is normal. Good value, so far. Looks great tol.. Will update in 3-6 months

Our refrigerator broke. I tried to get this at Home Depot. It was a nightmare. They kept cancelling the delivery after promise after promise. Our food was spoiling, ice was dripping. Saw it on Amazon, they delivered it the next day.

I probably shouldn’t give it 3 stars since the bottom half barely gets cold enough on the coldest setting to keep my groceries from rotting while the freezer gets way too cold. Poor poor engineering. At least it is cute and the interior organization is logical. *Edit—at least putting things at the back of the fridge keeps those items adequately cold. *Edit—okay a few months in and it seems to be working fine. Fridge is now cold enough (I would like it slightly colder, but it works!) and freezer just a normal freezer temp. Took a while to normalize. 2nd Edit: THIS FRIDGE IS BROKEN AND WON’T COOL ANYMORE AND GALANZ US TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME RESPONDING TO THE WARRANTY ISSUE. Will update but I do not want another one of these crap fridges. 3rd Edit: They are sending me a check refund but it has been weeks. Still waiting. 4th Edit LOL Sorry: They sent the check as promised within the 21 business days but it took that long. So the customer service wasn’t the worst, but this fridge is too unreliable so it still gets 1 star for stressing me out.

I've been using this fridge for just over a year now and I'm very happy with it overall. There's lots of space inside and the fridge shelves have a good selection of height options to accommodate all kinds of stuff. There has been no ice build up, but some stuff that gets pushed near the back of the fridge sometimes will start to freeze or develop frost. I wish the freezer had a second option for shelf positioning. The shelf can only go in the middle so I've had a few instances where I had to get creative with the layout of stuff inside. Once or twice I've had to repackage something because there was just barely not enough room to go in with the original packaging. The other thing I don't like is the bottom door shelf. It's tiny so you're limited with what you can store there and it's easily blocked from view by the shelves directly above it that extend farther out. It's pretty quiet as well. My dog's water fountain sits next to the fridge and I can clearly hear their water moving around more than I notice the fridge aside from the brief moment when the compressor kicks on. Most of the time the fridge is completely silent.

Perfect for my space and works great

Like with all things- I never leave a 5 star as that says there is no room to improve. Whats good: 1) great price given the size. Most refrigerators of this price range barely hold enough for one. This one can get our family of 5 through for a week and a half room wise. 2) It works great. It does exactly what it should and keeps everything cold- do not set it to the coldest, thats overkill especially on the bottom half. 3) I love that they did not try to change up which end was the frozen food. It is extremely awkward and can lead to back problems if the frozen stuff (which is always heavier) is on the bottom. This design keeps the freezer on top which prevents the physical strain. 4) the shelves are easily shifted to fit everything where you want it. No more trying to decide which shelf can fit what- prefer drinks up top? set the shelves appropriately. Prefer them mid or bottom? adjust how you will. Downside: 1) the freezer is a little small. That said, I still like the fact that even the freezer has a shelf that can be adjusted- no more having to pull everything out to get the thing buried in the back! 2) I thought this fridge was larger than it actually was, but that was my fault for miscalculating. So not really the company at fault- just a note to those buying to make sure they properly measure things. 3) It was a little slow to cool down. I don't know if this is typical of all new fridges, but I was glad I had not purchased anything that needed to stay frozen or I would have been in trouble. Over all, once this is set up and has had about 5 or 6 hours to reach its normal running temps, this fridge is great for the price. If you do not absolutely have to have enough food to feed an army at all times, this is a much better deal than spending over a grand on a bigger fridge- or 700 on a fridge that belongs in a hotel room.

So far I'm really enjoying this refrigerator. It's one of the few refrigerators on the market that fits the space I'm working on. I'ts tall enough to fit more stuff in than the typical 10 cubic foot fridge, and its width is perfect for me-- deep enough to fit a lot of food, but not too deep that things are getting lost in the back. I like the can storage in the door too. I can hear the fridge motor turn on, but I don't think it's loud. It uses about 300 watts per hour, which is not too much power for a full size refrigerator. The things I put in the freezer have stayed frozen, and items i get out of the fridge are cold, so It's working just fine so far. I also love the retro look.

The relay for the compressor broke. The refrigerator won't get cold. Now I am having trouble finding the right replacement part. I may be able to use it as a pantry instead of a refrigerator. Which replacement relay do I buy?
