“This is a nice mini fridge that looks good as well. I’m using it for beverage storage and it’s just right for that purpose, I like that it’s a fridge only, no freezer area taking up space and making parts of the fridge too cold for bottled drinks. The can holder on the door is a nice addition. It’s so much better than the top load can dispensers. The shelves are sturdy and easy to clean. Just an all around good fridge.”

And , another Amazon customer, says:

“We bought this for storing fruit-cups, pudding cups, and Ensure nutrition supplement drinks at my mother-in-law’s bedside during her stay at the nursing home. Has been working great! And now that it’s no longer needed for its original purpose, we’ll use it here at home to keep cold refreshments handy in our Potting Shed during the coming season’s yard work and backyard playtime. We purposely bought a unit that has some style knowing it would eventually land at our place — glad we did!”

Amazon reviewer says: 

“This little guy is the best! It’s virtually silent. The reviewers that said the noise was distracting need to send theirs back, because mine is absolutely silent with the exception of a very, very gentle whirring that you could hear only if you put your ear right to the back of the fridge. We keep it in a spare room, and people say it causes no disturbance at all when they sleep. It’s also low-profile so it doesn’t take up much space at all. Nice neutral color makes it blend in with the furniture, too. We use the same room for TV watching, and it has been lovely not having to pause a movie to run down to the kitchen every time we need a cool drink.”

And , another Amazon customer, writes:

“Excellent little cooler, I use it to hold small cartons of milk and other drinks and it keeps them cold and ready to drink. I have it plugged in 24/7 and have had no problem with it. I did have to wiggle the power cord in order to get it fully inserted the first time, but once it was up and on it has been great.”

Walmart customer writes:

“My daughter is going back to college. She was in need of a refrigerator. I recently purchased the Galanz 2.7 single door refrigerator in black. I like that we were able to change the way the door opens to accommodate her dorm space. A great space for her drinks, cold cuts, fruit, and much more. She is also able to make ice cubes in the freezer space. You can hear the compressor kick on and off but its very quiet. We are very pleased with our purchase and it would be great for rooms, offices, and so much more.”

“This Galanz 2.7  cubic feet single door refrigerator (door can be hung left or right depending on your preference and needs) is great for keeping your beverages and food cold. Great small freezer compartment especially for ice cubes. This fridges compressor is quiet compared to other mini fridges I have had. Does not take up much space. Made very sturdy. I am using this in my pool house so we can have access to cold drinks on the hot days. This would be great for college dorm room, in a garage, shop, and offices.”

Amazon customer writes:

“I’ve had this fridge for about a month now and I love everything about it. Runs quiet and looks nice (I like that the top is nice so I can put snacks on it when having a party, etc). Holds a lot of drinks and keeps them at a perfect temp. I was concerned the cord wouldn’t be long enough for where the outlet was, but sure enough the cord is actually a great length and it worked out well. Easy to set up and not too heavy to move. All around great product.”

“So far this has been an awesome little drink cooler. I have mine set at 40 and my drinks literally stay cold for hours after removing them from the cooler. It looks sleek and could be added to just about any decor. It’s simple to work and the buttons just need a light touch. The door allows you to see inside and the light is an added bonus. It is pretty much silent. Definitely recommend at this point.”

, a Best Buy customer, says: 

“If you do not need a second full size refrigerator but could use some extra space at holiday times, this is the right product for you. We put it in our finished room in the basement and turned it on for Thanksgiving week. It is larger than most of the smaller dorm size yet has ample room to house a 25-pound turkey a couple of cartons of eggs, an extra pound of butter, plus a few other extras. We will put it on again for Christmas along with any other times we may need it. Did I mention, it is quite attractive too and cools of quite quickly. A good buy for the money also and we are very pleased with this purchase.”

And , another Best Buy reviewer, writes:

“I bought this little refrigerator for my bedroom, and it is the best thing I could have done for hubby and I in terms of comfort. Not noisy at all, very spacious for his otherwise little size, it also has a full width freezer compartment and a very convenient wire rack for cans. I am yet to try the reversible door feature, which I will need to do soon due to modifications in our room. I can’t wait to test it, as it will be extremely handy.This is a great addition, not only in terms of functionality and quality, but looks as well. I give it a 10/10.”

Target reviewer writes: 

“This fridge gets very cold that I am only using the “middle high” setting. Separate door for the freezer is such a nice option. Compared to single door model (small freezer section inside the fringe), it gets really cold that ice cream won’t melt nor get soft as the single door model. I have to admit that this makes a “fish tank motor” like sound but it’s not too loud to be bothered. I am so glad that I purchased this item and recommending to others.”

And , another Target customer, says: 

“I like the fact that it was on sale when we bought it and we’ve been needing a small fridge that has a freezer. We put this in our master bedroom. It’s really good however the bottom of the fridge has limited space. You can only store 1 gallon of milk at a time. So if you have another gallon of juice to store fridge will not closed I guess the way the door was designed. Over all though my money is worth it for the price I paid for this. I’m loving it and my son likes it as well.”

Amazon customer says:

“This has been one of those great consumer moments. Arrived when stated,packed well. The Korean design (made in China) is nicely rounded retro with an eye for the details other small fridges don’t come close to. The color is fabulous, somewhere between mint and a robin’s egg blue. The minimum temp is a little frosty, but not excessively so. Already had numerous compliments. For just a fridge,that’s surprising. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different.” 

And , another Amazon reviewer, writes:

“Best fridge ever!!!! Bought this for my dorm room and it fits perfect and gives my room an interesting style. Paying a little extra for this cute fridge was worth it. Although the door opens on the wrong side, there is plenty of space inside for food. The only thing I wish this fridge had was a freezer! Good quality and shelves inside a glass instead of plastic. The retro style looks amazing! I call this fridge my ‘BAEwoo’!”

, an Amazon reviewer, writes: 

“Excellent wine fridge! Plugged it in, turned it on, added four bottles of wine (it will fit six) and a few hours later, it was sitting at 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The LED light is on all of the time, providing a nice ambiance. This looks classy and is well made. I highly recommend it. There is one negative, though. The temperature control knob is small and in the corner, right above the LED light. It is hard to see it with the light shining in my eyes! As I said, the control knob is small. I found it difficult to get a good enough grip on it to turn it to adjust the temperature. But, that is the only thing I don’t love about this.” 

And , another Amazon customer, says: 

“I got this for my husband, as he’s starting to really get into wines. As you can see, it has a very limited space of what it can fit, but this is perfect for our small apartment to get him started on his collection. It fits perfectly under our kitchen counter and has its own interior light to easily identify which wine you’d like to crack open for the evening. I’m not a wine drinker, but hubbs happily fills the fridge with a new wine each week. In a few years when we can afford it, we’ll probably buy a larger one, but this one fits our needs perfectly for now.”
