Zero stars would be more appropriate.

I bought this with the hope that it would help with cleaning up the various stains that come with everyday living.  Not even close. First, the push-button to spray the cleaning solution is cheap and feels like it's going to break and it dispenses only a tiny amount of solution.  To cover a stain about 2 inches by 1 inch, you have to keep pressing the button. It took about 10 pushes to actually "cover" the stain. After waiting the required 2 minutes, you set the device to "scrub". The scrubber bristles are softer than my toothbrush and barely come in contact with the carpet, even when pushing down. The idea is that the scrubbing action will work the cleaning solution into the carpet and loosen up the dirt.  Then you switch to the "vacuum" setting, which is supposed to suck up the dirty cleaning solution. Another great idea with poor execution. After several minutes and lots of pressing the machine into the carpet, not a single water drop was removed. I double-checked the instructions to make sure I didn't miss anything - I didn't. I had followed them to the letter.

So, I tried again. I've tried this device on several different types of stains now and it hasn't done a darn thing.  New stains, old stains, simple spills, light dirt, pet stains, mystery stains, it doesn't matter, this thing is a piece of junk.


The lint eater is amazing! We recently bought a house that was built in 2001 and previously owned by an older lady, so I assumed the dryer vent had never been cleaned. Before setting up the dryer, I wanted to give the vent line a thorough cleaning for safety's sake and to help the dryer run as efficiently as possible. Well, I'm glad I did! The exterior cover on the vent had been gone for some time, and the amount of leaves and pine needles plus lint wads that I got out were shocking! It seemed like every time I ran the LintEater through line, it dislodged another fist-sized wad of stuff. When I first hooked up the shop vac inside the house, and went out to the vent exit, there was almost zero air getting sucked in. The wads were so huge that they kept stopping up my shop vac hose and I had to keep going inside to clean it out. After all was said and done, my vent line is free-flowing and working as good as new. Glad I spent the money on this product!

Helpful tip - when I started, I just jammed all of the rods together and tried to work it into the vent line. It's way too unwieldy this way, and every time you hit the power on the drill, the rods get kinked and knotted up because they're so flexible. Start with one, and when that one gets most of the way into the vent line, add another. Repeat as necessary and you'll have a MUCH easier time.


The ice maker in my 15 year old Whirlpool refrigerator stopped working recently, and being new to this kind of repair, I did a lot of online research.  My fridge has both an ice dispenser in the door, as well as a water dispenser.  The water comes out full force, so I figured it must be something in the ice maker itself.  I ordered this unit before doing additional research.  It came very quickly, and by the time it came, I had found out that there were test holes in the "head" unit that your could insert an insulated probe, and manually start the harvest cycle, as well as manually open the water valve to fill the tray.  This replacement unit was identical in shape and size, and exchanging it out was a quick 15 minute job.  Unfortunately, while the harvest cycle worked, the unit would not fill with water.  Inserting my test probe into the "V" and "L" holes triggered the water valve to open, and the unit filled up and completed its cycle.  Then my test probe started getting intermittent results with the tray filling, and after a day or so, I couldn't get it to fill at all.  I suspect either the water valve itself is bad (though I still get water to the water dispenser), or possibly something in the internal wiring, which wouldn't be an easy fix.  But my reason for giving 5 stars is do to the excellent service by the vendor.  I sent an email after having the new unit installed for 24 hours, and they immediately sent me a replacement unit, along with a pre-paid shipping label to return the first unit.  I don't believe there is anything defective in the unit itself....it's just a problem I haven't figured out yet.  But there level of commitment to good customer service has earned them 5 stars.


Best GE MWF Refrigerator Water Filter Smartwater Compatible Cartridge We bought the first filter which was delivered on June 5, 2018.  The filter seemed to be ok for the first 5 days but on the 6th day, ice and water delivery stopped.  The following morning, June 12, 2018, we awoke to find that the filter had developed a severe leak which left 3 or 4 inches of water on the bottom of the refrigerator compartment.  That accumulation of water was rapidly leaking out of the refrigerator, on to the kitchen floor and then ultimately through the kitchen floor in to the lower level.  The kitchen flooring (vinyl tile) has started raising up and ceiling tile, drywall and carpeting are damaged in the lower level.  Ultimately, the water stopped flowing thanks to the shut-off valve.  An even sadder part of this story is that we had ordered 3 additional filters from the same provider believing them to be "ok".  The filters were delivered later in the day (06/12/2018) after the flood had been cleaned up.  The box has not even been opened but upon attempting a return process, we were stunned to find out that the filters are "not returnable"!  I would advise anyone considering purchase of these filters to avoid this provider and perhaps any of the "knock-off" filter manufacturers!  We're going back to the OEM GE filters (which are overpriced) as in the long run, the type of damages we sustained are not worth the slight savings.


About after a year of having this, the light switch holder broke, now I have the light switch actually hanging down the back where the filters go. I cannot use the 2nd filter (right side) since the cord is in the way. When I tried to carefully put it back into the holder, both of the thin plastic flaps broke off. Also the shape of the switch is sort of like a triangle (with the point touching the switch holder), so can't even super-glue it back in place. Today I wanted to check it again, see if there was ANY way to have it back in the slot, but another piece of plastic broke off from behind the nameplate with literally the slightest touch.

Cons:
- $20.42 to get a new switch assembly part. (Part number: 97017730)
- The nameplate sticker has been bending, a piece broke off today. $3.38 to replace a sticker. (Part number: 99526652)
- $33.28 to get both of those parts, with shipping (No, shipping is not free.)
- The lights are not flush, they stick out a couple millimeters down the bottom.
- The lights used to blink or just stop working, even brand new lights wouldn't turn on, until I found out that a bit of percussive maintenance causes the electrical to make a connection and turn the lights back on. (Fire hazard, much?)
- The fan goes from barely-working to jet-engine.

Pros:
- Filters snap in easily.


I received this portable cooktop as a Christmas present in 2006. We are planning to build a retirement home in a few years and plan to install an induction cooktop. We bought this unit to explore the cooking technique needed for induction cooking.  This unit has turned into our daily cooking tool since the day I received it. My wife has always wanted a "good" set of stainless cookware so we bought a nice set of All-Clad cookware to go with it.

The temp settings take a little getting used to but I've found that changing from temp to cook setting makes a big difference in the temperature. Once you determine the setting for the heat range your looking for then this unit will do whatever you need.

Pro's are the temperature comes up much quicker than an electric unit and acts more like a gas cooktop. We have a Jenn-Air ceramic cooktop and it doesn't even compare to this little portable unit. I'm cooking in half the time on the induction it takes to get up to temp on the Jenn-Air and using half the power to do it.

Con's are it takes longer to bring a pot of water to boil on this portable unit than our electric Jenn-Air. Around 5 minutes longer. But overall for a unit that's 120V vs. a 240v for a full fledge cooktop this unit is one nice piece of equipment and can supplement any gas or electric stove in your kitchen. The only other drawback is you need to have cookware that is magnetic, either stainless or cast iron, take a refrigerator magnet with you when shopping for new cookware. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to compliment  their existing kitchen appliances and reduce their electricity consumption and heat in the kitchen.


I used this with some old-school gasket shellac (as seen on YouTube). Paint the outer seal groove, fold/press the seal into the tub, rotate the seal a half-turn to ensure everything is fully in place and straight, slide tub onto the center post using a bit of silicone lube, then let dry for an hour or so. If you're into the washer this far, take an extra 5 min and also replace the 2 sets of 3-each nylon skid pads (Whirlpool Part Number 285219: PAD and Whirlpool 285744 Pads so that the tub won't shake as much, which is usually what makes this seal start to leak. Keep these direct-drive washers going - they are easy & cheap to fix, very reliable, and even get your clothes clean. No pillows, shoes, or other unbalanced loads though, since those really tear up this type of washer.


I've got a fairly short dryer vent run with only a couple 90 bends.  Regardless, it was still a consideration that the recent performance drop in my dryer was due to some build-up.

I purchased this kit based on the mostly positive reviews here.  I wasn't disappointed at all with my purchase.  My one concern was a review that stated the brush head they received had a plastic coupling.  I didn't find that the case with the unit I received.  All couplings were metal, and the primary duct brush even included a set screw to ensure it doesn't come loose.  Keep in mind that the flex shafts do not have such a safety mechanism, so be sure to run the power drill only in a clockwise direction as the instructions clearly state.

When cleaning my own duct, I ran the brush into the vent from the outside while using the vacuum adapter with my shop vac at the connection where my dryer would normally be located.  My ducting is all galvanized steel from end to end; no flex duct.  I would highly suggest that when using a two speed drill, speed 1 (low) should be plenty fast enough.  Follow the instructions and take your time.  From the beginning to end, the entire process, including running the brush inside the dryer and vacuuming, took less than 30 minutes.

It's hard to fault anything with this kit considering its price and the amount of money one can save over calling in a "pro" to do the same job.


Washing your dishes used to be a non-issue. Even with my "builders" model (read: under $250) dishwasher, pretty much everything got clean. Unfortunately this is no longer the case.
By regulatory action in most states, dish-washing detergents may no longer contain phosphates. With my original dishwasher, the side effects of this change included white, pasty residue over dishware, as well as a coating of ground-up grit evenly distributed and baked-on over everything. These are well-documented problems with phosphate-free detergent.
I'd already tried different premium detergents, and cranked my hot water up to 185F- neither of these issues helped at all. I put in a separate little water heater under the sink so the dishwasher would get its hot water right away- still no change.
The KitchenAid KUDE70 solves these issues very well. Its internal filtering gets rid of all- and I do mean ALL- crud, and I do NOT pre-rinse anything. No more white gunk, either. I turned my hot water temp down to normal, with NO reduction in cleaning quality.
There's a lot more capacity inside, with three spray arms, and an upper flatware tray. There is a "power scrub" mode with special sprayers for cleaning pots. I tested this by burning an egg and leaving the pot set for a day. After washing once- All Clean!
Ah, it's really nice to have clean dishes once again! This unit is definitely worth the cash.
Conditions for this review:
- Length of ownership- about 1 month
- Price Paid: $1239
- Incoming water temp 135F with water tank located near dishwasher
- Detergent used: Cascade powder with Dawn "Shine Shield"
- Rinse Aid: Jet Dry


Fox Run Heat Diffuser

I really wanted to like this product, but there were problems right from the start. I purchased two of them.

First, I washed and dried the diffusers by hand, and that was fine.

There was no smoke or smell at all from the metal parts when I used them, as some have commented on here.

The problem is that the wooden handle immediately caught on fire. The flame on my burner was not at full force, nor did it take long for the handle to catch on fire.

I had to quickly remove it from the stove, by hand while on fire, run it under the faucet, and then put it outside until it stopped smoking.

While this did not cause me any harm, as my sink is only a few feet from my stove, it is clearly a hazard.

Also see my similar review of another type of diffuser on here:

Heat Diffuser Rangetop 99134

I would not recommend either of these items.


I bought this last October and finally got around to cleaning our 15-foot dryer duct run. It's just not the type of thing that's at the top of your list... like "Wow, should I go see a movie, or clean our dryer duct?" However, our dryer was drying slower and slower, and I knew it was a task that I needed to tackle, so I read the very long instruction book for this and began my work. The instructions really need to be re-written and simplified. My Sony TV has a smaller instruction manual. But I do appreciate the manufacturer's thoroughness. For those of you with short attention spans here's my quick start guide:

1. Screw the rods together and use electrical or duct tape to reinforce the joints to keep them from unscrewing during your work.
2. Stick one end of rod in your drill and set the clutch pretty close to the lowest or second lowest setting, then increase power if you need it.
3. Attached brush to other end of rod with supplied key wrench / allen wrench and tighten.
4. Make sure your drill is on clockwise - not reverse - mode or else the rods will unscrew inside your duct and you're screwed.
5. Read #4 again.
6. Turn dryer on air mode and then insert the brush in the pipe outside and begin spinning it by activating the drill. Push it in about a foot, then pull it out and watch the lint fly. Then push it in 2 feet and pull it out and watch the lint fly. Then 3 feet... etc.
7. Marvel at how much lint came out.
8. Marvel at how fast your dryer is and come write a review here.
9. Wash the clothes you were wearing when you did this because they are now covered in lint.

Hope this helps. It's a quick job and well worth it the trouble!


Items are NOT "BRAND NEW". Drum roller axles were rusted and had grease residue on them, despite being in a sealed package. I think these items are salvaged or recycled. (I hope to figure out how to add a picture,so you can SEE this!)

The axles are also about 5mm shorter than my original OEM parts. I am not sure if this makes a difference because I did not install them, but it seems like this would be a huge factor to overlook!  Perhaps these were salvaged from a "similar" Maytag dryer, but not the "exact" dryer.  Either way,these axles were unsatisfactory in every way.

Would have returned them, but their 40-page return policy surely discourages that. I had an open package, and was not prepared to enter the battle of the "restocking fee". Their whole spiel about "installed" items are enough to make your stomach churn. With the condition of these axles, I am SURE they would have claimed I was trying to scam them by trying to return my OLD axles! Yes, they were in THAT poor of a condition. Not worth my time and the hassle.

So instead of risking sending them back and having them rejected while being on the hook for shipping fees, I cleaned and salvaged my old axles and just used the seemingly "new" rollers and washers (they were ok). At least my old axles were not rusty.


We recently bought the Broan AP130SS hood and needed to recirculate the air so naturally we bought this.  After a bit of tinkering, we absolutely love this and the hood. I'll review the hood there, here's just the information about this unit.

We did have two items that needed to be addressed.  One, the electric connection.  I had installed an outlet and had a cord to connect to the hood, but there was no place to pass the cord through the top of this unit.  I ended up drilling a hole into the top of this unit, right above the knockout for the cord from the hood.  Problem solved.

Second was the filters and this threw me for a bit.  The instructions here simply state to put the aluminum filters from the hood into the bigger, plastic holder filter and then simply 'install these filters with the aluminum filters facing out'.  I couldn't figure this out as the plastic ones didnt' fit.  At first we just pushed them into place and compression was holding them, but I knew that couldn't be right.  I contacted Broan and at first all they did was send me the same instructions I had.  I asked for further clarification and they sent me four photos and that finally hit home.  What you have to do is slide the aluminum filters into these plastic holders like the instructions state.  Then bend the plastic trim around the aluminum filters to they become almost molded to the original filter.  You might have to work the plastic a little to get it to bend that much.  Then, slip the top part back into place, while bending the sides of the plastic around the filter still, and lift into place.  Basically, these fit just like the aluminum filters only, but now much tighter with the plastic trim.

Now it's awesome!  Love it.


We bought a slightly earlier model of this dryer with the matching washer, plus pedestals for both--the total purchase cost about $4,000.

When our dryer needed a repair, we discovered that LG no longer maintained inventory on either of the two parts needed to repair the otherwise perfectly functioning dryer. So, our dryer is junk, and we now need to purchase a completely new dryer. Plus we also need to purchase a new matching washer or have a mismatched set, probably for the rest of our lives in this house. Not to mention the cost and inconvenience of removing the old appliances and installing the new ones.

There is also the vast environmental waste of making several hundred pounds of costly metal and electronics into garbage that goes into a landfill.

The average useful lifespan for a washer or dryer is about 15 years. LG seems to think the lifespan of their products should only be 5 or 6 years since that is how long they maintain parts inventories for their appliances, according to a supervisor I spoke with at their 800 number. Other manufacturers routinely maintain parts inventories for expensive major appliances for much longer.

Not maintaining an inventory of repair parts is a sure way to make your customers feel very taken advantage of and very angry. We certainly will never buy another LG product of any type.

LG "apologized" for their policy of not maintaining an inventory of parts, but offered no other help or compensation.

In any case, LG washer-dryers are not the top-rated washer-dryer by the leading consumer testing organization.


I guess if you don't do much baking, this is a good range. It looks fantastic, the burners are great, and the bottom oven seems to bake well. But oh, the top oven. This is a major disaster, and I simply don't understand how GE gets away with selling this model. Read the reviews scattered around the web about the top control panel getting very hot: they are true. I suspect this might only happen if you bake for some length of time in the top oven, or open and close it frequently to transfer or check on items. I spent 2-3 hours baking several quiches and trays of cookies, taking things in and out, and the entire top panel got blisteringly hot (and I don't say that figuratively - it actually blistered my hand when I touched it). All the knobs, as well as the metal panel behind it got this hot. It got so hot, it melted the plastic rings around the knobs, which are now brittle and puckered and unsightly. I'd frankly be scared to use this in my house again with children (especially since one can't easily see that the oven is even on), and scared to cook on the stovetop myself if the oven is on, for fear of accidentally touching the front panel. Worst of all, since we ordered this unit in advance of a kitchen remodel and only started using it about 6 weeks after purchase, the seller is now refusing to allow us to return it, since they have a 30-day return policy. We're now pursuing a remedy directly with GE, but one way or the other, this appliance is leaving the house!


I have a KUDS01FLSS3 dishwasher. Ive gone through several door balance kits and springs in the products 11 years of service. I generally replace parts in pairs. When one spring broke, I replaced both springs. When one cord broke, I replaced both cords. This time, a plastic tab broke that holds the pulley assembly to the dishwasher broke. I bought this kit not remembering I had leftover spare parts. The new plastic pulley system came with 2 rotating pulleys. The old system had one rotating pulley and one fixed pulley. I installed the new pulleys on both sides and vaselined the new cords. After it was all put back together, it screeched. Maybe the grease is not needed with two rotating pulleys. Hard to take off the grease once its been put on. I always used the vaseline on the cords to quiet the cords. I found the old style pulleys and installed them. The squeaky screeching went away. I also tired installing the double-action pulleys on the different tensioning holes. That didn't make a difference.
Ive seen 2 cord plastic-end connector types. One type is a straight plastic hook that attaches in-line with the cord. Thats what is pictured on Amazon. The other type attaches at an angle. The dishwasher came with the angled plastic attachment. That failed after a few years. No complaints against either design. Just noting the cord parts that arrived in the mail don't look like the cord parts in the picture. I didn't measure the lengths as some others have noted receiving shorter cords than the originals. I didn't have a problem with the lengths.
Bottom line, the parts fit and seemed to be high quality. For some reason I couldn't get them to install and operate quietly on my dishwasher.


So far so good! I have used Water Sentinel (WSL-3) in the past many times as a factory replacement, but the last couple I have bought only lasted about a month before the flow rate dropped dramatically and made it painfully slow to wait holding a cup/coffee put up to the fridge for that extended amount of time (would take at least 5 minutes to fill up a 12 cup coffee pot).

Pros (thus far):
- Flow rate! Right away I noticed a HUGE improvement in flow rate compared to both the Water Sentinel brand and factory water filter. Two weeks later, still going strong. If the flow rate drops dramatically like other original manufacturer brand water filters, I will update.
- Cost. For the price, this filter can't be beat.
- Taste. Helps eliminate some of the normal "flavors" of city water. Any built in fridge water filter will never be able to compare to a reverse osmosis  water filtration system, so you can only expect so much.
- Not a huge deal, though rather a nice addition, but Refresh included stickers to place on your filter (or anywhere for that matter) that has the months labeled on them so you can see place the appropriate month of install near/on the filter to help remind yourself how long it's been since install.

Neutral feedback:
- After testing the water quality difference between straight tap water and fridge filtered water with this particular filter, the filter does remove approximately 50 ppm. This is to be expected and is typical of this type (carbon) water filter.

Cons:
- None at this time. Will update if needed.


One month and so far I'm very happy with this washer/dryer. This is my first front load or combo and it has lived up to expectations. I think of this machine as a compact washer with an optional dryer function; it will completely dry clothes, but you need to work within the limitations. I have not experienced any problems with the burning rubber some others have complained about.

Pros--
Clothes come out clean--have not experienced any drop off in cleaning compared to a full-sized machine
Quick, efficient washing--can be done in as little as thirty minutes.
Reasonably compact and can be mounted on a trolley for movability
Has a non-vented dryer and clothes usually come out completely dry or very slightly damp (and then quickly become dry with a little air)
Quite versatile with washing choices, drying choices, delay timers, etc.
Automatic wash + dry is incredibly convenient--put the clothes in before you leave for work and come home to clean, dry clothes!
Seems to be a solid, well-built machine

Cons--
Dryer option is limited to a maximum of half a load (more and it won't dry properly)
Drying function can take a long time--wash + dry can take up to 3 and a half hours
Not loud, but not really quiet either--at it's loudest, during the spin cycle, I clocked it at 75 dB
Drying function has an annoying, 12 second long, low frequency "shaking" every 30 seconds.  I only use the dryer when I'm out of the house.


I purchased this ice tray after doing some research as to why my ice maker was not dumping cubes into the ice bin anymore.  The problem had gotten so bad that the entire ice bin was a solid block and water was running down the side of the freezer.  Instead of calling a repairman I checked out some forms online and found out that many others have had this issue with their Samsung Ice maker. for $12 it was worth a try and hope that it worked.

Got the new ice try yesterday, swapped it in and to my surprise everything was back to normal and functioning better than before.  In the last 9 years of owning my Samsung Fridge the ice cubes never came out uniform.  Now they do.  The old ice tray had cracked at the male end of the turning unit.  Happy that it was an easy fix.

Model number for my fridge was RS267LBBP
To replace:
1. turn off water source and ice maker (on the front panel)
2. Look up at the ceiling of the freezer and locate two screw holes
3. Remove screws and pull out on the unit, should slide right out
4. drop it down and disconnect the wire harness from the fridge - now you can work on this not in the confines of the freezer
5. move the wires that attach to the thermometer out of the slots
6. Pop out the motor
7. Insert the new ice trey
8. Tuck thermometer back into its housing, pop in the motor, tuck in the wires so the unit looks as it did when you took it out
9. Connect wire harness back together, pop it back in
10. Put screws back in unit.
11. Reset the ice maker (little button on bottom of motor) to test and then go back to your life with cubes!

All in all took me about 10 minutes to do so,


The fridge was easy to unpack and set up and came with a mini ice tray and ice scraper. I really wanted some space in the freezer as well as fridge and this minifridge has it. I mainly use it for beverages, but I like to freeze the noncarbonated beverages like water or gatorade as I am in Texas and temperatures get up to 120 or more sometimes. 100-110 is not unnormal, so drinks get hot fast and ice melts in no time. So, far it is working great. It said to wait 2 hours to plug it in to allow coolant to settle, then set to maximum for 2 hours to help get the temperatures up to par. Did this and then put in what I wanted to get cold. Drinks in fridge are keeping cold and drinks in freezer are freezing great. I like the whole setup and hope to enjoy it for quite some time. The one thing I had hoped for though is being easier to reverse the doors if necessary, but it takes several tools to make it happen. Luckily, my fiance does maintenance and has experience doing things like that, so will leave that all up to him!

This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Update: Have had it about a year now and just wanted to say it is still working well, even with a small daughter who wants to keep trying to leave the doors open on it. Freezer is usually frost free always, except when daughter left freezer door open a little for awhile, but that wasn't the fault of the freezer. I'd say the only downsides to fridge after getting used to it, is the shelf in freezer door is a bit of a joke as its so small, not much can fit there. Maybe an ice pack or something. Second, I wish the drawer in the fridge was just a little smaller to allow a little more shelf room. Otherwise, I still love it.


This is our second order. I just tried to return it but I'm not able to. I try to buy things like this ahead, so I bought these in November while they were on sale at $10 off. The first package of two were great. It's the first filter in the new package of two that creates very malodorous water. I called whirlpool customer service, but they said the new filters are no longer made by PUR and that these filters are quite old/out of date. Of this second package, I'm disappointed with the first filter. Have not tried the second because I was planning on returning them. Installed in our fridge, the filter is used to remove potential toxins etc, but our drinking water from the tap tastes fine. With this filter just replaced the water smells horrible. After I put in the new filter, I flushed 4 gallons of water through it as the instructions say to do. I then made some coffee and thought there was a problem with our coffee pot. It is a coffee pot we bought a few months ago so the smell of the coffee was fresh in my mind. Because of this water filter, the water has a smell that is just like the burnt/electronic smell that you notice in the first pot of coffee made in a new drip coffee pot. That's the best way to describe it.  Whirlpool was apparently having issues with quality control and no longer has the filters made through PUR. The Whirlpool representative said nothing in the filter should smell the way I described, but confirmed that the filter is quite old if it says "PUR" on the side.


I was so worried ordering this! I was worried it would get beat up in shipping and it was fine! It worked great. I love pumping the water out and seeing how dirty the water is coming out because I know it's cleaning them so well! I have towels I thought I may have to throw away and it washed them like a full washer. I can fit small throw pillows in it, a bottom and top queen sheets at once. 4-6 towels at once, a bout a 1/2 a "normal" load at the laundrymat of clothing, and even a queen fleece blanket! The spinner spins so well, clothes are almost dry after a minute at most. Hooked up easy to my kitchen sink and came with an adapter that fit my sink perfectly! I could not attached to my bathroom sink tho. I love that it has a pump, sometimes the pump is a tad weak but angling the tubing and messing around with that you can fix it in seconds. Just make sure not to over wash delicate clothing (like any washer) but with this washer of it's not that dirty and delicate only a few minutes will be fine! I do delicates separate at only about 5 mins tops. Also don't over fill the washer or it will not wash them well and splash out some. I plan to do a full review on YouTube in the future. Im disabled and use a wheelchair so it's actually easier than a normal washer dryer for myself. Great for a small apartment on a budget!


We have had our GE Cafe free standing gas range 5 sealed burner stove for 5 yrs.  We finished using our stove & oven and all was fine. Then as I wiped clean the stove top, the range was scorching hot and the oven and stove had been off for over an hour!  It felt as if it was going to over heat!  You couldn't touch the knobs or the stainless steel, it must have been over 200 degrees on the surface.

We have 3 young children, anyone of them could have scorched their hands by touching the knobs.  We pulled the stove out from the wall and unplugged it for fear that a fire would start
and an explosion would occur as it's connected to the gas line.  We fear this stove is now a time bomb.  If we were not home at the time this overheated to unplug the stove, a potential house fire would have burned our home down.  I don't want it refurbished, repaired, we want to replace it.  The risk is too high for a hazard like this.  The more I read about our situation, we're not alone.  This has happened over an over again from many other people the more I research the issue.

The GE repair people have been very defensive and condescending as if nothing is the matter and the issue is a fabricated story.  Then they said they've had this complaint before on these stoves.  We called customer service, not customer 'no service'. Where is the customer service for an appliance that we paid $3600 for what we thought was the best stove?  GE needs to stand behind the products that they produce, quality and safety of a gas oven range is priority #1.

Can anyone with this situation explain their outcome and end result?

We will not buy another GE product in the future.


When we bought our LG refrigerator 6 months ago, the salesman told me I could buy the replacement filters anywhere, (ie. Home Depot, Lowes, etc.), even the appliance store we bought it at.  Well, when it came time for me to get one, I couldn't find it anywhere.  The stores he mentioned did not carry it.  The store we bought the refrigerator at is not conveniently close at all to my house.  My husband was diagnosed with cancer in January so I'm limited on the amount of time I can be away from home.  I was finally able to make it over to the appliance store, only to be told that "Oh...we're all out of stock on that one".  I asked if he could take my name and number and call me when they come in because I really need it so he did and told me they should be in within a week.  Not feeling real confident in his answer, I looked on Amazon and found the exact filter I needed and it was cheaper than what I would've paid at the appliance store.  So, I went ahead and ordered it and received it and installed it a week later.  I really needed this filter as my husband needs to stay hydrated after having chemo and I didn't want to be without filtered water for him.  It was easy to install and works great.  It's been over a month now and I still have not heard from the appliance store.  Thank you for such great service Amazon!


I bought one of these and I am very disappointed, I expect more from a high end system.  The chiller works adequately but the heated water is a joke.  I turned the heat all the way up and the best I can get is ~180 degree water.  After about 8-10 oz of water are dispensed the temp starts to drop and within seconds it is 160.  I consider the hot to be the primary function and chilled to be a nice add-on.  Unfortunately, 180 isn't hot enough to tea and surely isn't hot enough for coffee.  If I have to put the cup in the microwave after getting the hot I don't see the point.

I contacted the manufacturer and they tell me to insulate the tubing, check the voltage, and turn it up.  Seriously?  I am using one of their faucets, a dedicated circuit, and I am not completely stupid so I had already turned it up.  Other than that they had no suggestions.  On the plus side they did respond quickly.

Chilled comes out at 40 degrees and you can fill a glass without problems.  I haven't tested the cold capacity because it works well enough for a secondary function. Despite average instructions (missing some details like those below) installation was pretty easy and I would say that the overall build quality is good.

NOTE the hot out is 6 mm tubing and the rest are 1/4".  Also noteworthy is that they provide these 90 degree angle connectors.  The connectors are for 6mm tubing but they are plastic so you can't use them on the hot.  If you try to insert 1/4" the angles will not seal and you will be cleaning up a puddle.


We bought this dishwasher less a year ago at HH Gregg (floor model). We got a very good price and even did our research to confirm it was a good deal and good dishwasher before we completed the purchase. Alas, we were misled.  The dishwasher has had numerous issues over this last year and is already falling apart.  The silverware rack has had pieces break off which means silverware now slides through and jams the trays.  The plastic trim on the switch panel is peeling back and breaking off.  Dishes do not come out clean no matter what setting you put them on; the only way to get a clean dish is to basically pre-wash everything (absolutely no food particles of any size or consistency on any dish in the dishwasher).  Silverware regularly comes out dirty; if there is even a single grain of rice on a dish it will end up on the silverware.  Water backed up into the bottom of the dishwasher from the sink; not even clear how that happened but some kind of valve failed somewhere.  It's very sad because we just remodeled our kitchen, everything is new, and we are very pleased with our GE oven, our GE refrigerator and our GE microwave.  One of the reasons we purchased all the same brand for the stainless steel appliances was because GE has a unique tone to their stainless and we had already purchased the refrigerator before we learned that fact; hence we couldn't avoid having to purchase all GE appliances for the kitchen.  It's regretful but this GE dishwasher is a disappointment and I would not recommend it to anyone.  I've never written a bad review for anything but felt it was worth it in this case.  If you have to purchase GE (as we did), go find another model to purchase and don't get this one!


I have had this dryer for about a year now.  From day 1, I have the following issues: sheets and blankets get rolled into a large ball, so that they are dry on outside, and wet in the middle.  On normal cycle, it will sit on 1 minute remaining for an hour.  I must always stop the dryer manually.  If I use any other cycle besides normal, the dryer time will initially start out around 45 minutes, but after 10-20 minutes it will jump to 3-1/2 hours.  I have called Samsung support, and they sent the local person out, who obviously had no clue on how to repair this dryer.  He simple ordered a new computer, and replaced this.  Didn't change a thing, other than to negate any profits Samsung made on this dryer sale.  The software is obviously defective, and probably the dryer sensor is defective.  It is also noisy running.  It sounds like things are squeaking and rubbing against the drum while running (sounds like an old piece of junk).  I have an extended warranty, but don't know what to do about it???  And after service call, Samsung reps will call you to try to sell an extended warranty, instead of asking if your problem was resolved satisfactorily.  The computer has never had an software update sent to it, and I am thinking that Samsung will never bother with this (for example, change performance to prevent sheets rolling into a ball, or to prevent dryer from trying to run for over 3 hours, or 1 hour when 1 minute is displayed).


I think this is my favorite Amazon purchase of all time. Being in San Francisco, I live in an older apartment without a laundry facility. Love my building, but adjusting to life without a washer was difficult.

I have been using this thing OVER A YEAR now and it's still running beautifully without any hiccups. I run it for about 7 cycles a week too, but it's held up well. I work an office job and don't usually need more than a weekly "refresher" for my clothes. I soak them in laundry detergent in a container in my bathtub and then rinse them and spin them dry. I put it in the tub as it can really move around and the hose can drip water everywhere if you're not careful. This thing gets my clothes so dry! They still need to be hung and such, but it's impressive just how much water it gets out. (I put them in dripping wet) balancing can be a little tricky but you get the hang of it. Like other users I've noticed filling it fuller not only makes doing laundry take less time but also seems to help with balancing. On top of it all, I'm also noticing my clothes are lasting so much longer this way.

So grateful I never have to lug a bag of my wet clothes up flights of stairs ever again!

UPDATE: after nearly two years, the lid came unhinged and I had to replace the unit. Unfortunately amazon no longer sells this, but it is available elsewhere online. So happy I found this!


Pros: Overall, I'm very happy with performance on heavy duty cleaning, 1/2 the detergent, ease and very quiet. Plus I'm likely using about 1/10th of the water I was. (Really a 5 star but can't edit that)

Cons: fairly long cycles. Not a lot of options: cold, warm, hot then baby, delicate, heavy, 2nd rinse and bleach (which it adds later in the cycle for a better job cleaning). Could see it rocking on your floor if it's not solid (but we are built up on piers--not slab)

Usually research before buying, this time I did not. Got the washer home THEN read 2 bad reviews. So for the past 3 months have been expecting poor performance and/or a breakdown. Being a natural pessimist, I watched the laundry go around with what looked like almost no water and think "bah, bad design, my clothes will never get clean"

BUT my husband's filthy clothes got amazingly clean, much cleaner than with the old top loader. Expected wadding and twisting of clothes, neither happens. Despite being told in the instructions not to open the door during the cycle, I always stop the cycle and add clothes and the machine senses it and adds more water. So maybe the lack of options are compensated by the smartness of the machine. I'm sure there are lemons, but a good thing to bear in mind is that people who are pleased with a product tend to not review it. I mean, it does what it is supposed to do, right?


I have had this stove for a few months and love it.  I was so disappointed to have to go from gas to anything other than gas and induction seemed like the best compromise.  Mind you, I was leaving behind a Viking range which, while I loved the high BTUs was disappointing in some ways, most notably, the oven.  I could NEVER get the Viking gas oven to work consistently so I absolutely love how even, precise, and predictable the oven is in this stove (and I know electric ovens are better in this way than gas).

What I really want to comment on here is cookware.  I had some nice All Clad pieces which work beautifully on this stove as does my Le Creuset dutch oven.  But I had to replace my two nonstick skillets and that took some trying.  I bought a couple that were "induction ready" but only had a disc on the bottom that would react with the stove, vs. having the whole pan made of the right kind of metal (like All Clad).  So while they technically worked on the stove, they didn't work well.  They took a looooooooong time to heat up and just never seemed to get going the way the All Clad did.  In my experience, nonstick pans need to be replaced every few years even if you are careful with them, so I didn't want to make an investment in them but that's what I ended up having to do (I bought the All Clad nonstick).  However, if you do NOT want to spend big bucks, get Lodge cast iron.  They are the original nonstick cookware and work very, very well on induction and they are CHEAP!


I researched the net and Amazon for the best value in a water filter for my Maytag refrigerator. The best value by far was the Aquafresh WF 295 water filter that is a replacement for the OEM Maytag UKF8001. I was able to purchase the Aquafresh filters in a three pack through Amazon from DeepDiscountco. The cost of the three pack was the best value by far and the cost per filter was less than half of the UKF8001. DeepDiscountco shipped for free and there was no tax applied. What a deal!!! The filters arrived quickly and I was surprised at how easy it was to change the filter in my Maytag. The Aquafresh filter fits and works just like the original UKF8001. The owner of DeepDiscountco sent an email thanking me for the purchase and telling me to contact him if there were any issues (there were none) with a promise of a quick resolution by make me satisfied. What more can you ask for in customer service? I don't usually take the time to write reviews but I was so very happy with this purchase I could not help but share this info with others. Aquafresh Replacement for UKF8001 Refrigerator Filter, 3-Pack


The lint eater is amazing! We recently bought a house that was built in 2001 and previously owned by an older lady, so I assumed the dryer vent had never been cleaned. Before setting up the dryer, I wanted to give the vent line a thorough cleaning for safety's sake and to help the dryer run as efficiently as possible. Well, I'm glad I did! The exterior cover on the vent had been gone for some time, and the amount of leaves and pine needles plus lint wads that I got out were shocking! It seemed like every time I ran the LintEater through line, it dislodged another fist-sized wad of stuff. When I first hooked up the shop vac inside the house, and went out to the vent exit, there was almost zero air getting sucked in. The wads were so huge that they kept stopping up my shop vac hose and I had to keep going inside to clean it out. After all was said and done, my vent line is free-flowing and working as good as new. Glad I spent the money on this product!

Helpful tip - when I started, I just jammed all of the rods together and tried to work it into the vent line. It's way too unwieldy this way, and every time you hit the power on the drill, the rods get kinked and knotted up because they're so flexible. Start with one, and when that one gets most of the way into the vent line, add another. Repeat as necessary and you'll have a MUCH easier time.


I give this product my highest regard, I found it when searching what people in extreem cold do for their homes. It stops the cold air from flowing into the house, no more cold toes when opening the dryer. It also Keeps out hot air in the summer. But, its biggest feature is that it prevents Stink Bugs from entering your house! as well as rodents and birds, It also prevents these animals from Nesting in your dryer vent which can be the cause of a disastrous fire! It may have some lint build up, but its REALLY easy to clean out as part of keeping a home one should clean out the dryer vent at least once a month and the lint trap on the dryer itself "Every Single Use". One would say that this product puts excessive back pressure causing longer drying times and increasing lint build up. This study was done with a Magnehelic gauge ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFOHGVhmyQA ) But you can always add a exhaust booster the best one is a "Tjernlund Products Dryer Duct Booster, Model# LB1" here is a video that demonstrates its use and how it works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwAiiKh9GVw ) In addition...This video is a must watch to help with the basic understanding of your dryer ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiqlFX0VRQo )
  The extra energy it uses to push out the air far outweighs your daily heating or cooling bill for your home, especially if your dryer vent is a Straight shot with no bends and less then 5 feet to the outside. The downfall is that its hard to find a Heartland 21000, but other companies are making them now and the concept is the same, very efficient if used properly and No, Bugs, Birds or Mice...and Warm Toes! Its a Win Win


I bought a new Bosch Axiss + in 2010.  Since I have been living only like 3 months twice a year in our new home, the washing machine was hardly used.  Christmas morning it stopped working and I called the Service Company.  Same diagnose.  The switchboard stopped working and needed to be replaced.  $387 repair cost.  I called Bosch USA and after a couple of days they answered me I would not have to pay for the parts.  The bill would cover the labour alone.  I would be two weeks without a washing machine and I had about 19 people over between Christmas and New Year.  In the mean time I was in a move mode, moving back home.
The service company came back and was not aware of the fact I had contacted Bosh USA.  The lady who I talked to hadn't sent a fax to the service company, like she promised to do.  Fortunately I had an email I could prove I had contacted Bosch USA.  The service company contacted them for me and they billed me only for the labour.  The first Bosh customer agent was very friendly and understanding, but the second one was rude.  Not a good experience.
I tried to contact Bosch Germany, but I cannot even find an address.  I will keep looking, because this should not have happened.
I am extremely disappointed about the fact my new washing machine, which was not exactly cheap had such a major defect.  I don't trust it anymore.  I have a Bosch dryer, dish washer....
For my next acquisition I think I will change supplier.


Excellent value! Excellent purchase. This mini-washing machine really lives up to its reputation.

PROs:
First of all it is light so it can be moved from a storage location to an operation location. At only 30 lbs it is easy to keep in a shed and bring it out to do a load of clothes.

Second it holds more clothes than you think. The washer basked is large and seems to do an equal job whether it is full or mostly empty. The only negative is that the washer basket is so much larger than the spinner basket that you have to split up large wash loads into multiple spin loads.

Third it does a great job washing clothes with very little soap. We use about 1/2 Tbls of liquid detergent for a half basket of clothes (4 lbs). The clothes always come out clean.

Fourth is the power of the spinner. Wet clothes come out so close to dry that it really takes very little effort to finish the job. An hour or less on a rack in the sun and everything is dry.

Fifth is the price. At less than $100 this is the bargain of a lifetime. We found small desktop mini-washers that cost more and did far less.

CONs:
First is the drain pump. It does not have the power to lift the water up to the level of a normal washer-drain. We use it outside so this is not a problem as we just lay the drain hose on the ground. It works in a bathtub as well for the same reason.

Second is the instruction manual. Obviously translated (maybe multiple times they are so bad) by someone who does not speak English and illustrated by my 2 year old. There are two filters to be cleaned and I have only found the first. I cannot follow the instructions or make sense of the illustrations to find the second.


Ordered this to replace a 1980's-era Jenn-Air downdraft cooktop. We considered both conventional electric and induction cooktops when replacing our old one.  This cooktop was our choice in the end and we're very pleased with it. The things that won us over:

* Appearance: Very basic and understated. We wanted something that would not quickly look out-of-style or dated.
* Functionality: We wanted a cooktop that included few bells and whistles, with simple controls and zero learning curve. This is the hands-down winner.
* Minimal changes required to install: Our install location would have made it difficult to install a separate vent hood or blower. Retaining the downdraft capability of the old unit assured us of being able to control fumes and smells predictably. This unit *DOES* require a 40-amp circuit though (as do most ranges in in the same size range). If you are replacing something more than 10 years old, make sure you take this into account for any replacement!
* Predicted reliability/maintenance. The low complexity of this unit (no high-tech components, no expensive timers/computers) means there is simply very little that can fail, short of physical damage. We really were attracted by the alternative of induction cooking, but the complexity of even a fairly basic induction cooktop made me just a bit wary.

After using it a few times, I can say that this unit is pretty close to perfect. It heats up MUCH faster than older electric cooktops with metal coil surfaces. Cleaning is simple. The exhaust fan is effective and quieter than we expected. Our installer ran into no complications at all when putting the cooktop in, and the understated, clean appearance makes this a purchase we're 100% happy with.


We had to replace a defunct 15 yr old Maytag Neptune washer-dryer combo that lived in our garage and decided to move our laundry inside to a 4' wide storage closet with a window, which made stacking 2 units impractical. I did purchase the LG pedestal for storage and ease of loading/unloading. This was the best option for us, as it allowed room for a laundry sink. I was a bit apprehensive about how well it would dry our clothes (based on some other reviews,) but let me assure you, this is most definitely not an issue! The time to complete a full wash & dry cycle is longer than with conventional machines, but the convenience of not having to move a wet load into the dryer makes it worthwhile. I love throwing in a load before work in the morning and coming home to dry laundry. Sometimes I do a load overnight. Most of our loads are done in 3 hours or less. Machine is quiet while operating (except for the cheerful little tune signaling completion of load). No issues with rocking or shifting, but the high rpms do cause some vibration of little consequence. The only drawback I find is that my husbands 100% cotton no-iron shirts come out wrinkled when I don't pull them out immediately. So I keep a spray bottle of water handy and mist them gently, hang to dry for a short time and they're ready to go. I'm still learning how to use the different settings, so maybe the steam setting will help with the shirts. Our clothes are getting much cleaner than before, and I am recommending this machine to everyone.


If you have a "better" model Kenmore, you can while the display is off, hold down the start and pause buttons at the same time.  After 5 seconds it will give you an E and a two digit code.  If you get E47 (like I did), this is probably the part you need.

I would recommend getting a new spring held clamp for the "boot" that you have to partially move out of the way to replace this part.  My washer was 7 years old and the spring on my clamp was so corroded that it just stretched out when you pulled rather than spring back into shape.  The clamp cost more than this part too bad I couldn't find THAT on Amazon.

This motor also comes inside the wiring harness door switch part for almost 5 times as much.  Save your self the money just get the wax motor.

To replace it you have to open the wiring harness (pries open with a flat blade screwdriver), and slide out this motor and slide in the new one.  And while you're at it, pop open the panel below the door and check your shocks that anchor the washer tub to the bottom of the unit.  My right shock was broken and this same company had that part too.  Still for under $50 (clamp, wax motor, and shocks) I was able to bring my washer back to tip top shape.  I was quite pleased.

Oh and my parts were supposed to arrive between Monday and Wednesday, I got em the Saturday before!


Came within a click of ordering this from one of the popular on-line appliance parts stores from whom I've ordered a lot of parts in the past. Just for fun, I searched by the product description / part number and found this part for less than 1/2 the price. It was an exact replacement for the 25 year old original - they don't make 'em like they used to! Note that there are no instructions with this part. But a quick internet search will turn up several videos that make replacement a relative snap. If you can use a screwdriver and a nut driver, you'll have no problem.

The construction of the heater element was a little "cheaper" than the original in that they riveted the halves together so you won't be easily able to take it apart to replace the nichrome wire if needed in the future - considering the price of this part, it wouldn't make sense to replace just the heating element anyway. The design of the heating element stand-offs and insulators has changed a bit as well. However, if it lasts (half) as long as the original, I'll have no complaints.

UPDATE at 2/1/2015. Had to replace this part after the heating element broke. Since I'm not sure if it was a product defect or - equally likely - vibration from the adjacent washing machine which caused the break (when operating, the nichrome wire glows cherry red and is, I suspect, relatively fragile). With the OEM element (much more costly), the unit could have been taken apart and a new heating filament installed. However this unit is riveted and it is impractical to disassemble. On the bright side, you can buy several of these for the price of an OEM part (not to mention the cost of a service visit), so I simply purchased another and moved the washer a little farther from the dryer.


I thought I would be so pleased with my new sidekick.  My model may not be the exact number as listed in picture.  However, any buyer of a Sidekick needs to read many reviews before purchase.  The width is quite large, so I had to design my new kitchen for the 60 inch width.  Within the first 2 years, the freezer had problems.  Then the refrigerator.  I am stuck with a refrigerator that will not adequately cool.  A technician came out and said that he could not fix the freon system.  There apparently is a leak.  Apparently, after reading other reviews, I am not the first.  What am I to do, replace the frig unit? And now, of course, it will not match.  What would I replace it with? Another lemon? If I simply purchase a typical refrigerator with freezer built in, I now have a 60 inch wide gap on the wall that will only hold a 30-32 inch refrigerator.  How will that look? I spent lots of money for the two units and they have been a problem from the start and disappointment.  If you purchase one, be prepared to use and toss when you have a problem - and you WILL have a problem.  Aparently one should not expect to have a brand new refrigerator that will even work for 2 years.  One would think that at the very least you could get one repaired, wouldln't you?  You may wonder if we took care of our units.  I want to state that we NEVER moved the frig.  Store to home.  That's it.  This was my first new kitchen and I treated all my new appliances like a newborn baby! I will never, ever, ever buy another Whirlpool product again.


once it gets going its pretty fast. if its a hot party idk about supplying more than 2 people hi-balls tho. casual sodas/punch a glass every 20mins or so then 2 maybe 3 people are covered. if the room is cool and the water is room temp it makes the first batch in under 8 mins but the cubes may be small,then it gets going and ur set. u fill ur glass with the ice BUT the ice is full of air (white cubes) so u NEED a full glass to get a room temp soda or punch cold. lets see how long it lasts.i got and extended warrantee ,something i always tell people not to get suckered into,but there where reviews of people having these work flawless for 6-10 months then bang-nuthin-dead, so i figured its hit n miss. i think part of it could be because its small it gets turned all directions and upside-down during shipping and refrigerant units aren't supposed to be treated that way,so i left mine 24hrs upright before first startup,hope that helps,time will tell

update: 4 months ,away for a month ,back for 3 weeks BANG done. its dead. o it functions normally ,but just makes cool water. goes thru the complete cycle and u even see little pieces of icelets on the finger thingies,but i believe the coolant has leaked out. that makes me feel good as ive always wanted to unknowingly breathe in a gaseous chemical that doesnt exist in nature. now time will tell if the extended warrantee company will honor it and replace this thing or refund.


I don't own this specific model, but I own a very similar one so I feel it my duty to review a similar model to mine. I have had specific issues with burners lighting and the oven taking 45 minutes to get to 300 degrees, only to stop there. Notice, these issues came up in under three years but over one, so my warranty is gone.

The best word to describe this thing is 'flimsy'. Its thin metal, and plastic handles makes me wonder how its not a safety hazard. It may even work well for a year or two, but I guarantee, with this thin flimsy metal, and loose construction, its going to break down sooner rather than never.

Also, the attention towards electronic enhancements is a complete joke. It literally has a clock, and a timer that is just weak,  which good luck on figuring out how to set either one. It has no temp indicator, no bake timer that shuts your oven off automatically, no nothing.  I mean, it lacks even the most basic oven electronic advancements you get with the most standard ranges.

That bottom door for storage, feels like it could fall off at any second, and it probably will, soon. The actual oven door is all screwed together, tough to install and makes it difficult to see anything inside.

Also, consider, its 'duel fuel' which means you need a plumber and an electrician to install the thing. What else is amazing, considering the duel fuel, is that the oven TAKES FOREVER TO PREHEAT!!

I know what your thinking, "man this looks great" and it sorta does, until you use/touch it, then your like "nooooooo". For the money, you could get the best GE or a Thor or spend the extra grand or so and get the Viking or Wolf, I guarantee you'll enjoy those more.


We installed the Fiber Optic unit in our vacation home in May of 2012.  October of 2013 - walking into the house after not being there for a month - the garbage disposal is running by itself.  After ensuring the fiber cable had not pulled loose and was still tight into the button, I just unplugged the unit.  After plugging it back in later, it seemed OK, but then 12 hours later it just kicked on by itself again while we were watching TV.  After talking to Waste King, they recommended trying to replace the switch - which I did for $32.  It was OK after replacing the switch for almost a day when it just turned itself on again.  They now recommend replacing my base unit, not under warranty any longer, of course, for another $90.  If I was sure this one would be any better, I would do it in a heartbeat before I burn up my garbage disposal.  Wish I would have installed the Air Switch instead - half the price and the last two houses I have had used them with zero problems.  Now to install one, I need to drill a larger hole in the granite, which is not an easy job for your typical homeowner.  I don't just happen to have a 1 3/8" diamond hole saw sitting in my toolbox.

Great idea on the switch - love the look and the concept - loved the switch while it worked right, but this seems to be a common problem, based on some of the other reviews on here after a year or two of owning.  Twice the cost to buy initially and even more if you have to replace the Base Unit every couple of years.


Just a quick review to let everyone know that this is indeed an OEM kit arriving in Maytag labeled packaging! I actually ordered this kit for a Whirlpool Electric Dryer, model WED9200SQ1 and it fit perfectly! I just used my model number to search for the correct part number to cross reference and got it here for the best price on the internet!

I also wanted to share that in one or more of the videos that are out there showing you how to break down the dryer to replace these parts, the control panel and front of the dryer is being removed, but my dryer did not have the same control panel and mounting clips, so I ended up removing the back panel to finally remove the drum. There were actually some keyhole slots around some of the screws on the back panel that made it appear as the proper method for my model.

I should also state that I am a maintenance professional and supervisor by trade, and even though I do not have a lot of experience with washers and dryers, I have worked extensively on HVAC systems, refrigerators and ranges and I generally do all my own repairs at home. This particular job is not extremely difficult, I completed it in about 2 hours after a long work day and a bible tudy at church and I had never done a dryer drum removal before. So for all you do-it-yourself-ers reading this...dont be afraid, watch the videos, look everything over, get in there but take your time and you can do this!


Small and light, easy to move around, definitely takes more time to dry clothes, but since it runs on regular outlet and 110v, this is not surprising.  It arrived very well packed and completely damage free.  I thought it was quite heavy, but once unpacked it was not.  Apparently it can be installed on a wall and instructions are given, but did not arrive with the necessary parts or any exhaust hose except one plastic part that screws onto the outlet in back.  If it is supposed to have exhaust extensions, these did not come with it, and would be handy.  Will have to make a phone call about this.  So far, and this is the first day I am using it, so good.  Will add to this review if necessary later.

I live in an apartment and grew tired of going to the laundromat.  This dryer, together with a portable washer (not the same brand) will let me do my laundry at home in any weather, and more than once per week.  In fact, my plan is to do one load maybe 3 times a week instead of all my laundry at once.

August 11, 2015.  After working well for almost a year, it quit.  A small-diameter belt that turns the drum from the turning motor has broken. Contacted customer service via phone, was told to complete the website form, which I did, and then waited almost a week for a "technician" to call me.  He said they don't come to fix things, but by then I had determined I needed a belt, which he said would be sent.  It is now two weeks later, and despite calls and emails, have not received it.  I can't call this good customer service.


This is part of an email I wrote to technical support for this appliance. ....I recently returned an Emerson portable ice maker. It was an "out of the box"  failure.. I purchased it to replace a Koldfront which I have had for less than a year before it crashed.....same machine., but marketed under 2 different names!!!!!!!!  You were kind enough to send me a replacement ice case, which I installed over the course of 2.5 hours to fix the Koldfront!!!  It was working fine for about 90 minutes until the blinking red ice light started up....Nowhere in the troubleshooting instructions provided with the machine is a dreaded blinking red light indicated....You sent me pages of instructions to attempt to correct the problem.....The problem is still there...Folks, I can't  make repairing this machine my life's goal.....  It is not an issue of money....It is principle....This  product is extremely poor quality.........A warranty of 90 days for function.....attests to the poor quality of this appliance....attesting furthermore to MANUFACTURER'S lack of confidence in the product ...... I would love to have said that Compact Appliance (Edgestar?) support is wonderful.  Alas, that is not the case.....If you can't fix it yourself after 90 days you are out of luck.....Perhaps a simple mailing label to return the item would have gone a long way for customer support for an otherwise poor appliance!!!!
Save your money....


Overall I like the the cleaning system, but next time I would do it a little slower and sooner. I had not cleaned the dryer vent since it was installed over eight years ago, and should have done it at least once a year. I had about a 20' run with two elbows. Because there was so much lint, apparently the shop vac did not suck all the lint out and caused a big build up at the first elbow, which I did not realize. I used a 19 volt drill and started on the outside with the shop vac inside. When I put some pressure on the drill, the shaft twisted like a pretzel. I was able to stop right away, but had I not, it would have ripped the duct. I was able to slowly untwist the shaft by hand and pull it out. I could not reverse the drill because the shaft would ripped the duct and might have detached at the various extensions even though I had used duct tape. I figured it twisted because I had such a long run to the first elbow. I then started on the inside with the vaccum outside. As soon as I reached that same elbow, the shaft twisted like a pretzel again. I turned on the dryer and noticed no air was going through. I then used a leaf blower from the inside to force the blockage out. The ball of lint was fairly large and compact, and wet too, and that was probably why it didn't get sucked out. After that, I ran the brush thru again and the vent pipe looked spotless. Next time I will clean it at least once a year!


About a week or so after Thanksgiving, one of the baffle in my front loader washer snapped off.  It happened at a very unfortunate time, as my husband and I just threw a Thanksgiving dinner and finished our holiday shopping...meaning we were in no budget to replace our old washer for a new one.  I was so frustrated and stressed that I didn't know what to do.  After taking a few deep breaths, I decided to look up parts for my washer model on Sears.  I was filled with relief when I found the part.  Although, it was a bit pricy for a set of three, it beat having to replace the whole washer as it still ran fine.

After finding the part and part number, I was determined to find either the most affordable price or the store that would delivery it to my door the fastest (as I was in the middle of doing my laundry).  After doing multiple specialty webstore price comparisons and calling multiple local stores only to find out that they costed about the same and would take a week or two to arrive, I decided to search Amazon.  I was so thankful to see that Amazon carried the part!  As a prime member, I got the baffles in 2-days.  The best part, it was almost half the price of the other stores.

I am extremely please with this purchase.  After watching a quick washer baffle installation video on YouTube, my husband was able to replace all our baffles with the new ones within an hour.  Best purchase ever when you are definitely not ready to say goodbye to your washer!


I've never used one of these before.  Honestly, I've never done too much "plumbing" of any kind.  However, this kit makes it extremely easy for even the most amateur DIY'er!  Comes with everything you need to tap into any existing water pipe you might have.  I had a PVC, so I shut off my water and pre drilled a 1/4 hole.  Fit perfectly over the open area (the included rubber seal is MUCH larger than 1/4, so you should be good for bigger holes, though I wouldn't recommend it) and screwed right on where I needed.  The included water line was over twice what I needed, so that was good.  I combined this with a Ultra High Capacity Universal Inline Fridge and Icemaker Filter: Fridge Pure MAX (THREE YEARS/5,000 gal) by Nahla Pure. LONGER lasting, no maintenance. Removes 99.99% of contaminants. Made in the USA. to ensure that no dirt/sediments make it into my ice maker.  Again, simple as it could be!


First of all the description stated the depth was 24 inches - it is not.  I needed the 24 inches to fit in an existing cut out on my corian counter.  So now it is to short and leaves a one inch gap.  The burners are set in a way that is not conducive to my cooking needs.  Two of the bigger burners are located in front - so when I need the back three burners I have to reach over the big pots to get to them.  Does not work.  They should have put one smaller burner in front - I know why they do this because the pots are really big and they are easier to put on the stove in front so you are not lifting heavy pots - but I don't like it.  The burners only have three settings - High - Medium and Low.  There is no simmer or warm - so sometimes the flames are to high for my cooking needs.  When you turn the front left or front right burner on and you have a pot on the burner the flame shoots out and can burn you.  I am very disappointed in this stove top - if I had known it was not going to fit my cutout I never would have purchased this item.  I searched for months trying to find one that would fit my cutout and was so excited when I found one.  So since it does not fit my cutout and was twice as much as similar ones I would never buy this item.  Very disappointed!


Pricey...BUT, AMAZING!  Worth the $$.  This unit replaced our 16 year old cooktop that I had cracked with the suction of a large dome lid.  We even used a portable induction unit for a while until we decided which type of heat source to purchase.... We ultimately picked this item because of the touch controls/no knobs, the placement of the burners, the rapid boil burner, the lockout feature, AND because while the induction burner that we tried out was nice, the limited ability of using all my expensive pots and pans was very frustrating!  This item was packed and delivered so well!  My 13 year old daughter and I installed the cooktop into the counter....easy! Fits perfect!  My husband had it wired in 20 minutes!  At first it looked too pretty to cook on...I got over that quick. Heat controls are very precise, this radiant cooktop throws out a lot more heat than our original GE cooktop from year 2000.  I can't wait to use every burner for a huge meal.  I have been able to clean it easily with my glass microfiber cloth...cleans up streakfree and beautiful!  I did order a black silicone oven mat/liner/trivet to protect the finish a bit while it is not in use...I tend to set my large roaster pans on the cooktop area when I pull them out of the oven to serve.  I would suggest verifying the cutout dimesions by googling the actual cooktop sku product specs pdf...sometimes product descriptions get confusing and conflicting.
Btw...I did price this exact model at the big box stores and this seller still beat their sale price by a few hundred bucks and I recieved the products 12 days sooner than ordering online with big box store.


I purchased a brand new house and this was to be the "upgraded" dishwasher with the "upgraded" price.  I did not choose it, it was already installed.  I have used this less than 20 times and I already hate it. It has the cheap plastic tub.  The utensil caddy is 1/2 useless.  One-half of it is located directly underneath the soap containers which does not allow you to put large utensils in it.  Bowls do not want to stand up in their allocated slot, they just fall over.  I can't get the filter out even though I follow the directions.  I don't want to force it, afraid I'll break it.  The biggest complaint is it DOES NOT clean even the least dirty dishes.  I have had to hand wash many items.  My old dishwasher (Frigidaire) would clean dishes that sat for days, even at 10 years old and I never prewashed anything.  Not this one, it doesn't clean "fresh" dirt. I use the econonmy cycle which takes 1 1/2 hours just to wash. That is not economy.  I saw this exact dishwasher at Lowe's and when I saw the price, it is not a high end dishwasher.  The ONLY reason this got 2 stars is because it is quiet. I will put up with it for awhile but it will have a short life span with me.  I do not recommend this.


These are very poorly made.  I have now purchased 3 sets of these drip pans,  and all failed.

I am not sure how long the first set lasted.  I purchased and put on my stove, and went on an extended trip.  I had a house-sitter (who was extremely careful and clean with all other items in the house) and when I came home, one of the pans had the finish chipping off and showing about 4 inches of the black material underneath.  I figured she had dripped something hard on the stove, but now I'm thinking she did nothing wrong.

I ordered a second set to replace the chipped pan.  One of the four pans arrived already chipped, with a chip over 1 inch long.  Returned, and ordered a third set.  It arrived today, and sadly, one of the pans was again chipped.  This time the coating has already flaked off along the rim of the pan, over 6 inches long.
These are not minor defects, anyone could see these from across the room, and the defect is along the very top of the drip pan, so it's not hidden at all under the burner.  The whitish enamel coating seems to be very brittle, and my guess is that the slightest bump (or perhaps even scrubbing with a little effort) will cause this again, and again.

It's too bad, because they fit my stove perfectly, and the ones without flaws look gorgeous.


I would like to recommend that you not buy this dishwasher.  It is supposed to be higher end, but we had trouble with it almost from the start.  We had trouble with pink and black mold growth in it and despite everything I tried, there is a fabric or mesh area at the back bottom of the dishwasher that grew mold, and there is no way to take it out and clean it.

Also, within months of installing it, we had trouble with the rinse aid dispenser.  It did not work despite being set on the highest setting. We were having problems with food residue being stuck in glasses in the upper rack and the glasses were not clean. Eventually, the rinse aid dispenser must have started working because it started letting us know it needed to be refilled. Before that it would go six months and not need to be refilled.  However, even when the rinse aid worked, the dishes weren't any cleaner.

Finally, at just four years old, we noticed the food residue was even worse, and the soap wasn't coming out of the dispenser.  On taking a closer look, two of the four washes weren't working.  The dishwasher was not bringing any water in for some of them, so you would just hear the motor chugging away, but open it to *not* see water swishing, but only some steam coming up from the hot element, and the dish soap just stuck in the dispenser.  We talked with the local repair company but determined due to the cost of a visit that it was unlikely to be a cheap fix, so since there is only a one year warranty on this dishwasher, we have bought a new dishwasher from a different manufacturer.

The new dishwasher is much less expensive, and we are getting used to having clean dishes again!  I would recommend you not waste your money on this dishwasher.


The only reason I rated Whirlpool with 1 star is because it wouldn't let me give them a zero.  We purchased a Whirlpool Sidekick pair in 2009.  They fit the space in our kitchen where we had previuosly had separate Amana frigerator and freezer unts.  They had lasted 20 years until the fridge finally started showing its age.  The Sidekicks seemed like a perfect thing, they fit the space and nicely matched each other.  They had much more fridge space which was also great.  What a mistake!  The fridge started not cooling well when it was a little over 3 years old and was completely unable to cool within a few months.  I've had a Whirlpool authorized repairman here and it will cost between $825 and $1100 to repair a 4-year old refigerator that cost about that amount orginally.  Whirlpool makes a substandard product and then refuses to stand behind it.  Their customer support people just parrot the same insincere apology and ask if there is anything else they can do even though they haven't done anything to help me in the first place.  I don't know which is worse, the shoddy quality of the Whirlpool product or Whirlpool's unwillingness to stand behind their product.  NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM WHIRLPOOL!  The cheap fridge in our garage and the cheap fridge in our basement are both much better than our $2500 Whirlpool.  Also be careful because Whirpool manufactures other some other brands such as Kenmore and Kitchen Aide.  After what they've done to me, I won't trust them under any name.


This has been our only cooktop for over 2 months now, and while I initially was very pleased with it, the warts have shown.  It has a poor air intake, so it has been "erroring out" on all temperature settings occasionally as it "overheats"... the only solution seems to be letting it (and your food) cool down for a while, keep it away from a wall or anything behind it or to the sides of it, and try again.  So while it's footprint is somewhat large already, having to keep this space clear makes this item enormous for a single burner.  In addition it is pretty much good for large volumes on high heats, that will be done within 2 hours.  DO NOT try to simmer a stock, or soup, or whatever on this for an evening.  It will just keep turning itself off after 2 hours.  As to the "high heats only"... pretty simple, it won't maintain a temperature within it's lowest 4 settings, meaning that you NEED to use a diffuser, set this at a higher temperature, and hope it will stay regular.  Otherwise it cycles off and on, causing scorching during it's 'on' cycle and of course functionally being 'off' on the other portion of these cycles.  Since I bought this to help with canning this summer/fall, both of these cause problems that a propane burner can overcome :/...
The only positive I can really think of is that is does have a lot of power, if you can get it to remain on.  I've been using this in a fairly cold tiny house, and I can't imagine what it's going to be like using this on 90+ degree days, if it will even work.


I live in a condo, 5 floors above its laundry room.  Our elevator was about to be taken out of service for replacement for 3+ months.  I didn't want to have to take bulky laundry up and down stairs, so I did some research and settled on this Della for my needs in this period.  4 months later, I am pleased with my purchase.  I have used it for all sorts of items: twin sized sheets and blankets, towels, and regular clothing. I hang my damp clothes on a wooden drying rack after I am finished. After the first two loads, I got used to this smaller, but wonderful machine. A couple of observations: 1. Everything but my blankets fits into the spin dryer, so larger items like these, I hang wet over the towel rack over my bath tub. 2. I think our water is on the hard side, as some of my items came out a little on the stiff side when completely dry.  Adding a little fabric softener to the rinse has basically taken care of this issue.  3. It's great for the specialty loads too, like colors that will run. The Della's drainage is great, so you don't have to worry about rinse water from these kinds of loads, blending with the load done afterwards.

I also had trouble attaching the hose for incoming water, but I just pour buckets of water into the wash side, enough to wash the load I am doing.  The draining hose is already connected by the manufacturer, so there are no problems with that. All in all, this has served me well for the past 4+ months and I am ditching my condo's laundry room, and will continue to use the Della, although the elevator is now fully installed and functioning.  I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these small washers.  The Della is perfect for my day to day needs.


The lint eater is amazing! We recently bought a house that was built in 2001 and previously owned by an older lady, so I assumed the dryer vent had never been cleaned. Before setting up the dryer, I wanted to give the vent line a thorough cleaning for safety's sake and to help the dryer run as efficiently as possible. Well, I'm glad I did! The exterior cover on the vent had been gone for some time, and the amount of leaves and pine needles plus lint wads that I got out were shocking! It seemed like every time I ran the LintEater through line, it dislodged another fist-sized wad of stuff. When I first hooked up the shop vac inside the house, and went out to the vent exit, there was almost zero air getting sucked in. The wads were so huge that they kept stopping up my shop vac hose and I had to keep going inside to clean it out. After all was said and done, my vent line is free-flowing and working as good as new. Glad I spent the money on this product!

Helpful tip - when I started, I just jammed all of the rods together and tried to work it into the vent line. It's way too unwieldy this way, and every time you hit the power on the drill, the rods get kinked and knotted up because they're so flexible. Start with one, and when that one gets most of the way into the vent line, add another. Repeat as necessary and you'll have a MUCH easier time.


Worked Great!! My house has a dryer exhaust vent booster fan that was never wired in by the builder.  My house is 10 years old, when I discovered that my dryer exhaust ducts were completely clogged around the booster fan.  The dryer vent ducts looked like a clogged artery...  with about 1" of lint along the walls of the duct work.  My vent has two 90 degree turns and spans about 29" to exit the roof. I started in the attic and seperated the duct work by the booster fan. With the extension pack, I was able to clean going both directions.  The Lint Eater tool worked extremely well, and is very smartly done.  I hooked a shop vacuum on one end and turned on the dryer.  The amount air flow created to suck the lint out was tremendous. Follow the instructions and the tool will work exactly as intended. At first I thought the brush was small, but realized that helps make the turns through the duct work. I used electric tape on rods and tightened the rods finger tight and had no problems. I clutched my cordless drill down (put dial setting by the drill chuck on 5). I ran the drill at slow speed, and then bumped it up when I felt like the majority of the lint had been removed from the section was completed.  My theory was that is wanted scrub the walls of the ducts.  I purchased from Lowes because I was desperate, but Amazon would have been $10 cheaper. I removed at least 3 gallons of lint from the dryer exhaust duct work.  Now this tool will be used once a year to improve dryer efficiency and reduce the risk of a fire.


I purchased this item about one year ago to fix my Whirlpool oven model SF362LXSQ 30" Accubake which was not igniting or heating up. I also purchased two other components because I didn't want to waste my time taking the oven apart to find out it was something else so I purchased these two additional parts all from Amazon: Whirlpool 8054129 Oven Igniter for Range and Whirlpool 9758079 Oven Igniter for Range. I replaced all three parts in my Whirlpool model and so far, one year later, the oven is working perfectly. I had the Whirlpool oven for about 4 years before the broiler died (1st thing to die) and I ignored it because I could live without the feature. Then three years later the oven won't ignite so I couldn't bake (2nd thing to die). This time, I had to do something because unlike broiling, I actually need to be able to bake to make pizzas in the oven. I researched online about what could be the cause and read about solenoid and amperage issues. I checked each solenoid for 216 Ohms resistance (Broil to Common and Bake to Common). I did find that one of the solenoid was defective. If any one is defective neither will operate and the gas valve/regulator has to be replaced. By replacing them all, I avoided the hassle of having to go a day without an oven to make dinner. As stated earlier, my oven is still running fine one year later so I would say that this was a wise investment. It arrived very quickly and is a genuine replacement part. I would definitely recommend this item and would give it 5.0/5.0. -09/23/2014


First, the is a review of the LG dryer, not of the seller.

I've owned this LG dryer for 8 months now, and it functions (mostly) okay.  All things considered, it is over-priced for the features that we use.  I didn't find the steam function effective at all and ended up using an iron on the items I tried.  The moisture sensor routinely stops the dryer early even when adjusted to dry longer.  The moisture sensor is only reliable for items of the same density (all towels, etc.)

My major complaint is with LG customer service.  The white paint is peeling away from the entrance for the clothes (right next to the lint trap), exposing metal beneath. These little white chips of paint end up in my clothes.  I contacted LG customer service.  They told me this was a "cosmetic" issue and would not be covered under warranty. After speaking to a "manager", they agreed to send a technician out to look at it... who charged $78 to tell me the same thing.  This dryer is not inexpensive, I expect better quality in this price range.  I've had a handful of dryers over the past 20+ years (cheaper than this one), and I've never had an issue like this.  At issue here is the "cosmetic" label, which gets LG out of warranty coverage.

Based on this experience with LG customer service, I will not be purchasing an LG appliance again.


Though these appliances are a lovely addition to my kitchen, they do not last.  I have had numerous service calls on 3 of my 4 Frigidaire Gallery appliances.  Because they were older than 1 year, the customer service was of no help whatsoever.  My disappointment has not only been with these poorly made appliances, but the fact that the customer service clearly does not care about their customers.  The oven over heats when the self clean is run and shuts the whole machine down.  There is a reset button, but it is well hidden under the back panel which must be removed if it is to be reset.  The technician that fixed it said that this is a normal issue and to never run the self clean.  He also said that if the owners remove the back and reset the button, any warranty would be void.  The dishwasher started sounding like fingernails on a chalkboard when in the wash and rinse cycle.  It was unbearable.  Frigidaire customer service said that I'd have to pay for repairs myself because the dishwasher was 2 whole years old... I guess that's ancient for a Frigidaire.  The ice maker on the refrigerator never worked correctly and finally stopped working.  It has been repaired with Frigidaire parts twice, at my expense.  Again, the refrigerator was "old" at 2 years.  The technician who fixed it both times said that these ice maker ALWAYS fail.  Customer service is a nightmare.  Poor quality product, poor customer service.  My technician also said he likes Whirlpool... they are much more dependable.... wish I had gone with them.


January 2019
Update. I still love the range. However a purchase is more than the product. It is also the customer service behind the product. After my worst customer experience of my life with repair I now I see why GE receives  poor customer service ratings on line. Will find a third party vendor next time. Never will I buy a GE product again.

After looking at numerous reviews; including those at Amazon. I concur fully with the reviewer-" Meet Jane Jetson- Love this Range" This George Jetson Loves it Too!

Made in USA; flexiblity of gas; energy efficent; oven retains heat.

My recommendation to all-take time to read the manual.

I agree the oven takes longer to eat up; but with convection on we got great homemade chocolate chip cookies and bread. Good looking range.
Yes we had to buy new cookware. All Clad D5 (non-stick and regular and made in USA); Swiss Diamond. But well worth it.

After 3 months still very happy.
Lock out control helps to clean control area; Al clad pots allow smaller diameter pot on 11 inch element; yes oven slow to heat up; but once it heats up it retains the heat in the range.

Used the probe-the way to roast! Followed directions and the chicken came out moist and done. No more worries about how long to cook; use the probe and the internal temperature you selected. Would like the probe cord longer but not critical.

It even survived an overflow in the oven. What a mess; had to use diluted de-greaser then activate the self-cleaning.


Frigidaire has a one month from buying warranty, we were rehabbing a condo so did not use for six months after buying.  I can not believe this stove was allowed into our country from China.  It is dangerous:  the front knobs turn when you reach over to get something out of the microwave or happen to lean against, just enough to turn on the gas so if you don't catch it immediately when you turn on a burner the flames will actually shoot to the middle of the kitchen.  This is very scary & dangerous for elderly, children or anyone.  We had service out twice because of the burner flames were shooting around the pots and pans even on low the flame is uneven and will not even boil water.  The spacing of burners is such that only the mid size pots or pans will sit on them without over lapping the useless middle oval burner grate.  To clean you must lift each heavy grate on to the other and you are dealing with three grates.  This is the stove from hell!  The actual temperature when the ding-ding goes off is not the temperature you have the setting, it is a five minute time so you must have to buy a independent thermometer.  We had the gas company out to check the gas intake into the condo, it was a perfect pressure. There were streaks between the oven door glass after a couple uses and this was considered normal wear by Frigidaire.  The service will only allow two free service calls that we used to no avail.  I will not buy any Frigidaire Appliance.


This refrigerator looks beautiful, it is a great size if you are looking for a counter depth refrigerator. However, after only four years our beautiful stainless steel refrigerator stopped working. I wasn't too worried at first because I remembered something about a warranty. I called LG only to find out that only PARTS are covered under the warranty- not labor. So, in order to fix my refrigerator we would need to spend nearly $400 in labor. We went ahead and had the repair done- we didn't have another 2K to spend on a new unit. The refrigerator never worked well again. The "fix" to the problem was to put a switch on the compressor so it wouldn't over heat- only to have our refrigerator and freezer defrosting every few days until the compressor kicked in and started cooling again. We had to put up with this defrosting issue for another two years until today when it finally died for good. Now, out of warranty LG tells me they can do nothing about it- except for send out a repair tech- which they will charge us for. I'm not willing to spend another dime on this refrigerator. We never should have spent the money on the "warranty" repair (If you could call spending $400 to fix it a warranty). Really, we should never have bought an LG in the first place. I know the good deal may look tempting... and it really is a pretty refrigerator... but this thing will only last you a few years. After that- it is just a big, fat, worthless piece of garbage. Run away fast from an LG appliance. I will never buy one again.


I've been running this thing almost 24/7 for nearly 7 months now and it's still working like a champ, it's not super easy to clean out though, and I'm not 100% sure if they have a replacement filter, not looked for one yet but I think it's about time ..

It makes nice sized cubes, it does several at a time which takes a few minutes.. It's not exactly something for a party unless you only have a few people, but I use it in my home office and keep it on top of a mini fridge so it's perfect.  It is larger than you might expect, but that's ok, it works out fine for me..  It's a great product!

I have seen others say theirs failed not long after getting it but obviously that's not my experience..  the only thing is if you leave it on and the cubes fill up, it stops of course, and it won't start again until the ice melts down enough for more to come in, that can result in a big chunk of ice from all the cubes melting together.. if that happens you have to go in and break them apart.. not really a problem, more or less expected with something like that ..

Nevertheless, I absolutely love it for my home office, it saves me having to jaunt down a  flight of steps and through 3 rooms to get to the fridge in the kitchen area just for a couple of ice cubes...

I also wish it were a bit easier to clean, you can't easily get to some of the areas.. so I wish it were a bit more "modular" and accessible for that


So far I love this little machine. I didn't give it five stars because it may be leaking at times but I'm not certain as I have been filling it with a bucket & my have spilled the water myself. I will update this review if it is a leaking problem.
As far as  how it works, it's a great little machine. It washes everything good & the spin dryer is fantastic, the clothes are barely damp when taken out. The hose attachment doesn't fit my faucet so it's a pain to fill it up by hand so I need to find some way of addressing this issue. I have not had a problem with lint as many reviewers have complained about & I washed a whole hamper full of towels & no lint remined on the towels or on any other clothes I've washed. I did however put an old nylon stocking  over the pump hose because lots of lint went down the drain & I don't want clogged drains & also I put a small screen over the drain opening.
If I don't have leaking problems then I will upgrade this rating to 5 stars because it's a great little washing machine for anyone in an apartment  looking to save money. As mentioned in other reviews you have to stay by it especially when draining but I set it to wash & walk away until it finishes but since it doesn't drain automatically you don't have to worry about rushing back to it since you set the drain option. It uses very little detergent & water & I plan to get my daughter one for her apartment.
