Overview
The Galanz GLR25MGNR10 holds 2.5 cu ft and stands 28.15 inches tall, making it a true compact unit that fits easily in a bedroom, dorm room, or office nook. Two shelves offer basic organization.

The door opens from left to right, and at 41.9 lb and 17.6 x 21.02 x 28.15 in, it is light enough for one person to handle. Defrost is manual, so plan on occasional maintenance to keep things running efficiently.

Performance notes
Compressor-based cooling at 120V provides steady performance through daily use in a personal space. The 17.6 x 21.02 x 28.15 in footprint is genuinely compact. Two shelves cover basic storage needs but do not offer much flexibility for tall items. Manual defrost is the main operational trade-off at this price point.
What buyers say
Among 262 reviewers at 4.4 stars, this model earns consistent praise for its color and reliable cooling. The green finish draws repeat mentions as a reason buyers chose it over competing models. A handful of buyers note the manual defrost as a minor inconvenience but not a dealbreaker.
This specific model is in a glossy green finish. Galanz offers other compact fridge models in different colors, so check their full lineup if you want a different color at the same size.
How do you defrost this refrigerator?
This unit uses manual defrost. When frost builds up on the interior walls, you unplug the fridge, remove all food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wiping down the interior afterward keeps it running efficiently.
