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. Reviewers describe it as quiet in most cases, though one called the cooling cycle noisy like a wind tunnel. 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.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most buyers call this fridge quiet and reliable for classroom, office, or dorm use, and like that the freezer has its own door so food actually stays frozen. One reviewer's unit failed after about 4 months, another found the cooling cycle loud, and one received a unit whose freezer size and dial placement did not match the product photo.

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.
