Overview
The GLR44BEER is a 4.4 cubic foot retro-styled compact refrigerator with a single door, adjustable mechanical thermostat and blue finish, sized for dorms, RVs, apartments or garages.
It pairs a small chiller compartment, which Galanz says can hold ready-to-eat frozen meals or make ice cubes but is not meant for ice cream, with three removable glass shelves and a crystal crisper drawer for produce. An R600a compressor is the efficiency claim behind its listed 265 kWh annual energy use.
- 4.4 cu ft single-door capacity
- Adjustable mechanical thermostat
- 3 removable glass shelves plus crisper
- Retro blue styling
Who it's for
Suits anyone needing a single small fridge for a room rather than a kitchen, such as a dorm, home office, RV or basement. Not built for a household's primary refrigerator given the 4.4 cu ft capacity.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
One buyer had no issues and called the fridge as advertised after a week of use. Another received a unit with door alignment problems, dents and bent legs, and found the $400 return freight cost more than the fridge.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 3 removable glass shelves plus a crystal crisper for organizing food
- Leveling legs for uneven floors
- R600a compressor rated for low energy use
- Small footprint suits dorms, RVs and offices
- At least one buyer received a damaged unit with a misaligned door and bent legs
- Return freight on a damaged unit can cost more than the fridge itself
Performance notes
The mechanical thermostat is manually adjustable rather than digital, and the leveling front legs are meant to keep the door sealing evenly on uneven floors, which matters for a compact unit prone to icing if the door does not seat correctly.
