Galanz GL27BK Compact Dorm Refrigerator 2.7 cu ft

Overview

This dorm sized Galanz fridge packs 2.7 cubic feet of storage with its own enclosed freezer compartment, sized for a bedroom, office, or classroom.

The freezer here has its own door rather than being an open shelf inside the fridge, which matters because a doorless freezer compartment in a mini fridge generally will not keep food properly frozen. One buyer also reported receiving a unit with a different freezer size and dial placement than the product photo showed.

• 2.7 cubic foot total capacity
• Separate doored freezer compartment
• Adjustable interior shelves
• Compact 19.69 x 19.13 x 24.69 inch footprint

Who it's for

Suits a dorm room, small office, or classroom that needs real cold storage plus a working freezer in a compact size. Not ideal for anyone who needs the freezer compartment for more than small items, since the freezer space itself is limited.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 2.7 cubic feet with a separate door for the freezer compartment, this keeps food genuinely frozen rather than just chilled, unlike open shelf freezer sections in some compact fridges. Adjustable shelves let you reposition storage inside the main compartment. Most buyers describe the compressor as quiet, running as a low hum, though at least one reviewer found the cooling cycle noticeably loud.
