Top 10 Compact Refrigerators with Separate Freezers
for October 2023

The Galanz GLR31TBEER Retro Compact Refrigerator is a compact, retro-style refrigerator that fits in small kitchens and tight spaces. It has three shelves, two compartments, and an adjustable thermostat. It also has a removable slide-out shelf, which is useful if you want to store more items on the top shelf. The GLR31TBEER works well and is relatively quiet, but it's smaller than our other picks, so it doesn't hold as much food. Its compact footprint also limits the amount of storage space you have. The dual-door design, however, makes it easier to access food or drinks, and the slide-out shelf makes it easier to organize things. The refrigerator has defrosting once a month, which we didn't notice during testing. The refrigerator has an auto-evaporation function, which removes excess water and condensation from the fridge when the door is opened. The GLR31TBEER is an efficient, compact refrigerator, and it's a good choice for small kitchens.

This refrigerator has lots of room, but its controls are a bit tricky. First, there's the dial, which controls the overall temperature. You move the dial to Cool, then set the temperature you want. Then there's the freezer, which has its own control dial. You set the temperature from 0 to 5, with 0 being the coldest. On the refrigerator side, the controls for the refrigerator are a bit of a mess. There are separate controls for the freezer and refrigerator, but they have the same function. For example, if you want to turn the temperature from cold to coldest, you turn the control for the freezer from 0 to 5. By the same logic, if you want to turn from cold to coldest, you turn the control for the refrigerator from 0 to 5. It's confusing, and it's made worse by the lack of a digital display. The good news is that the refrigerator has lots of room, and it's quiet. The freezer compartment keeps things very cold, but it's a bit small. The refrigerator compartment is larger and works well. This refrigerator works well, but it could do with a clearer, more user-friendly control set.

The refrigerator's interior is bright, and the exterior is cool, white, and black. The fridge is relatively quiet, though the freezer section produces some noise.

The refrigerator also has a built-in icemaker, so you can always keep ice on hand. The one drawback is the interior light, which is bright enough to illuminate the contents but too bright to use for picking out items. Also, the refrigerator's interior is narrow, so it wouldn't work well for a tall person. Our test unit was loud, but it wasn't as loud as our top pick.
