In a video by @Techconnectify@mas.to, Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.

TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.

I've been obsessed with these fridges! I've been interested in a slightly different brand, Smeg,^1 partially because they also have retro fridges with Dolce^2 & Gabbana^3 designs, as well as other^4 fun designs.^5

I'm excited for this deep dive on Galanz (available at Walmart apparently).

@Rentlar That's definitely a fridge

Here's to hoping he does a video on Reddit. Always love his snarkiness.

Eh, kinda rather he stick to mechanical/ AV systems, plus I'm not really sure what he could say that hasn't been said already

Not a whole lot to talk about there, I'd think. Nothing in his wheelhouse, at least.

You can always ask him, though: @TechConnectify

I was wondering about this after I bought my brother a similar not-so-mini fridge from walmart and noticed that the insides didn't feel quite as cold as a regular fridge. This makes me think I was just feeling a "warm spot"!

I started watching his channel back when he did the turn signal video a few years ago. I was skeptical at first because I had seen his videos pop up in my recommended a few times and wasn't interested in them, but after giving it a chance I love his content and watch most of his videos all the way through.

The only videos I haven't watched in their entirety are the ones on subjects I'm already pretty familiar with. It's hard to sit through 40 minutes of information you already know, but they're excellent for learning about new topics.

Typical response from new visitors to his channel: "Why would I be interested in that?" followed by "Stayed for the whole fascinating video."

[–] atocci@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

He has some serious skill when it comes to making absolutely anything interesting. 3 years ago I had no idea what a CED was, but after watching his 2 hour long 5-part documentary on this failed media format and their history, I now have a small collection of them.

Hah was super excited to watch this, we have the mini version for storing drinks/frozen snacks in, they also make a microwave so we got it to match. They are pretty mediocre but they work and look great! I wouldn't advise using them as your primary appliances though lol.
