Review: 12 cubic foot black retro refrigerator - So far I'm really enjoying this refrigerator. It's one of the few refrigerators on the market that fits the space I'm working on. I'ts tall enough to fit more stuff in than the typical 10 cubic foot fridge, and its width is perfect for me-- deep enough to fit a lot of food, but not too deep that things are getting lost in the back. I like the can storage in the door too. I can hear the fridge motor turn on, but I don't think it's loud. It uses about 300 watts per hour, which is not too much power for a full size refrigerator. The things I put in the freezer have stayed frozen, and items i get out of the fridge are cold, so It's working just fine so far. I also love the retro look.
Review: So far so good - So far so good. It does take a bit to cool down but after about 4 hours it got cool and has stayed cool. Noise level is normal. Good value, so far. Looks great tol.. Will update in 3-6 months

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 12 cubic foot black retro refrigerator

### ⭐ Don't Buy It No Matter How Cute It Is
*by F***R on May 4, 2024*

I bought this for a friend as a birthday gift, as her old fridge had finally given up. At first she loved it-- so cute, just the right size for the kitchen. Well, within a few months, the problems started. It iced up. Really badly. She defrosted it (and you thought the days of having to defrost a fridge were long over!), and within a couple of months, it iced up again. And again. And again. I'm no appliance expert, but it's pretty clear the defrost timer was bad. Google says this is a known problem with these fridges. Galanz customer service was no help at all. She contacted them a number of times before they replied with something other than vague, bad-translation English, canned responses. They don't service their fridges, as it turns out-- only give a refund if you complain repeatedly. Fortunately, my friend is a determined woman, and she kept at them, sending photos, descriptions of the problem, and order receipts several times. At last they said they were putting a refund in the mail. After 6 weeks, no refund. She contacted them yet again, and they made a million excuses-- problem with the courier (courier? now the USPS is a courier, seriously?), unexpectedly long "processing times," blah blah blah. She finally got the refund but minus the sales tax. Yep. After contacting them a final time, they said they don't refund the sales tax. This can't be legal. Don't buy this pretty but really crappy fridge. The good reviews are from people who just got it. Check out the ones from people who've owned it for more than 5 minutes.
