Unit arrived undamaged and worked right out of the box. Door was assembled a bit crooked and overall quality is mediocre but looks good from a distance. Have had it about 5 weeks now and it is doing its job- drinks stay sufficiently cold, good capacity, internal fan helps a lot (main reason I bought it) and is quiet enough in my family room adjacent to my home theater setup. Stopped working once for some unknown reason (maybe got a bit hot as I have it installed in a tight cabinet space- IFU clearly says it is designed to be free-standing) but after unplugging and letting it sit for 30 mins, it started up again and has been fine ever since. I check the external cabinet temp regularly and while it does get quite warm to the touch, it seems to be okay installed as is. A good idea is to keep it out first time it cools down your drinks (it will work quite hard doing this), then when the compressor cycles off (ie- it has reached its set temp), you can push it back in. Overall it seems to be a good deal for the price.


We bought this kegerator after living in Germany.  It is hard to drink American beer after living in Germany.  And, German beer is absurdly expensive by the bottle in the USA compared to how CHEAP it is across the pond.  So this was our Christmas gift to ourselves.  We decided on this model because we did not want to spend more than was necessary.  Of course, we had to purchase an alpha coupler for the German barrels, which added to the expense.  Our first keg was a Paulaner hefeweisen and it is a little taller so it BARELY fit into the fridge.  We had to do some strategic bending of the coupler....  and we had to remove the extra tray for barrel support.  but we made it work.  Our second keg is a Franziskaner and it still would have required bending the neck and removing the barrel base.  So, this model is not ideal for those who want to use German kegs.  That said, it IS working, it WAS a great deal, and we ARE very happy with it.  The beer is cold.  It is not the quietest thing ever, however, it is not bad and it doesn't have to run that often.  It arrived with some minor quality issues that only effect the appearance.  But you get what you pay for and we recognize that.


Exact Honeywell replacement filter - nothing different than the one that came with the humidifier.

I will caution you on this (and why I gave it 4 stars) - the filter is very susceptible to tearing when wet so you MUST handle it carefully when rinsing it out.

Here is what I found works best.  I take the filter out by grabbing the blue outer edge (stronger than the white inner part) and flip it over and place it carefully in a bucket of clean water every 2 days.  I let it soak for about 10-30 minutes then place it back in the humidifier.

As it runs, the water leaves minerals near the top of the filter and it gets really stiff.  Flipping it helps keep the filter flexible and provide a good wick for water.

The soaking helps loosen the minerals and other funk that is left behind when the water evaporates.

Doing this, I use one filter all winter long unless bacteria starts to grow (stinky smell) and then I soak it in a bucket with chlorine from the hot tub to kill the nasty bacteria.  Smells like a pool for a few minutes afterward, but at least it is clean then.

I run my humidifier 24x7 and have good water so you may have to adjust your schedule of filter maintenance.


Anyone who thinks they don't have a problem with lint should look at these pictures.  My house is only 10 years old and this is what came out of our vent.  That doesn't even include what was cleaned out from our dryer filter and what was in just the dryer unit.  This product is very easy to use.  I definitely suggest taping each junction to make sure they don't separate in the vent.  I broke my cleaning into 4 cleanings. Fist cleaning was with just the brush and the first extension.  After ensuring that section is clean I added the second and so forth until the brush came out clean.  Given the length of the brush with all four sections, I found it easier to have another set of hands guide the brush into the vent while the other set was operating the drill.
I noticed that when I turned the dryer back on there was some lint that was dislodged and blew out the outside vent opening.  Unfortunately in my case some lodged between the slats and is keeping the vent opening from fully closing.  I will be making a trip up my ladder once the ground dries a little so I can remove those pieces.  A little price to pay for a clean vent.


I have had this fridge for 2 months now,  and I hate it.  First off,  very LOUD for a fridge.  But most importantly... fridge temp simply will not go below 43 degrees Fahrenheit. At first, I ended up maxing out the adjustment trying to get it colder,  the thing would run constantly and got louder the longer it ran and would not go below 54 degrees. I read one review that mentioned moving the thermocouple, so i took it apart and moved the thermocouple, now I got it down to 46 degrees. (which is ridiculous for a beer temp, or any fridge temp for that matter!!)  It runs constantly until it starts to 'growl' and the sides of the fridge get really HOT... I am unsure as to why,  but overall , warm beer sucks.  I am so mad at myself for ignoring the bad reviews and buying it anyway. I am a professional service technician for a living (auto tech.),  and after reading ALL the reviews and trying the product,  I am convinced the good reviews on here were written buy people from the company who make it (assemble it anyway) in Greenbay Wisconsin.  (all parts including the fridge say right on them, "made in China")  Because the bad reviews are right... this fridge is junk, it's the cheapest on on here for a reason........


I am writing this review one from 1996.  Everything still works although I replaced many parts related to all the ignitors including the one for the infrared oven.  Also some little gadgets in the control knobs to prevent ignitors from firing in error.  Karl Schaedel Co in PA helps you diagnose the problems and sells the repair part.  If I had to pay for repairs I would have thrown the whole thing out years ago.  I like the high BTU top burners and particularly the infrared oven that acts like the barbecue grill.  The infrared broiler has lasted nearly 20 years now and makes it possible to grill meat and fish during  the winter without going outside, although sometimes the flames inside the over get too exciting.  The weakness from the beginning has been the while enamel shell that I have sanded and repainted repeatedly and has I now gotten to the point of having to look for a new 30 inch wide gas range.  The Wolf infrared broiler's configuration seems to have mainly "dead spots" so I will  have to go with Viking again for the infrared broiler.  Apparently the new broilers can cycle on and off because of more conservative thermostat control but if you leave the door a little open, it will keep it cool enough to keep the broiler on.  Of course "stainless steel" can also rust depending upon the quality."


After reading many reveiews on this product I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I hate the public laundry so I thought this would be a little bit better even if I had some of the problems other people had mentioned. I had the same problems with the screws that every one else did. The screws don't match up to the holes to screw on the bottom panel. You have to kind of force them in where they don't belong and then screw them on. I also have to weigh down the water out house into the sink or it will flip out of the sink from the water pressure and end up all over the floor. I thought it would be sufficent enough to just place it in the sink, however I learned my lesson after the first load! You can fit quite a bit in it despite the small size, however I would not try to overload the washer as the water level will get too high and overflow. I am able to wash with the water level on high as long as the washer is not too stuffed up. Overall if you can iron out the little kinks with the washer, it is much better than public laundry and will save you a lot of money over the long run. As opposed to the rolling thing for the bottom I got those furniture sliders and they work GREAT to move it from one side of the kitchen to the next.


This is an awesome machine! I'm in a household with 5 other people. Having ice cubes readily available was always a problem. Only had 2 ice trays and they always seemed empty. I bought this Della Premium Ice Maker on a whim after looking at it for a few weeks. I couldn't be happier with something as I am with this! It exceeds my expectations ! While it won't put out enough ice for a party,etc...... it does put out enough so that every member of this household can have ice when they want it! I keep it on all the time and it kicks out a load about every 6 minutes! Does not take long to replenish itself! Doesn't use a lot of water and I fill it when the low water light comes on. I looked at all the models Amazon had and chose this one. Easy to clean. Fits on my counter easily. I use distilled water and keep it on the small ice cube setting. It really,really,works like the info says! I most definitely highly recommend buying this ice maker, DELLA Premium Ice Maker Portable Counter Top over any of the rest!! Durability does not seem to be an issue at this point. I will let you know if that changes! This review is for the one that makes 26lbs. of ice a day! I'll probably buy the 48lb one just because I want it!


I installed it myself!  Went almost a year with no ice maker before I bought this replacement for my Samsung. It arrived swiftly. I had to empty out my inner drawer to get enough room to work and see what I was doing. I went to a YouTube video and presto, learned how to remove the drawer and the old unit.  Plugged in the new unit, I think it had two screws in total.  I am too lazy to go look , lol.  So now I can proudly offer anyone all the ice they want without having to refill ice trays!  I feel so spoiled. Been installed for two months now and have not had any problem, except the main freezer gasket needs to be replaced.  Turns out it was not closing and sealing very well and ice dams were forming on, not only the door opening, but also the ice tray.  This was the reason the old one failed probably, so I am now trying to replace the gasket.  I cleaned the freezer drawer handle and put a lot of Vaseline on the gasket for a temporary fix. So far no more ice build up around the top of the door or the ice tray system. Now who has the best priced freezer gasket for my Samsung, the unending maintenance search has begun!


First, let me say that the folks at Beverage Factory are very attentive. Having said that, here are the issues thus far:
The unit will NOT get to 32 degrees.  The coldest it will go for me is 34-35 degrees, which is livable. However, the problem is that if you have the occasional power blip (like I do) it will reset to factory which is a RIDICULOUS 41 DEGREES!!!
I come home from work to find my expensive craft beer sitting at 41-42 degrees...NOT ACCEPTABLE!  I thought, well, maybe put it on a battery backup, but the crappy internal thermostat randomly resets itself periodically anyway, so that doesn't work.  I spoke to customer service a couple times and they are aware of the issue, but have no fix for it. According to them, there is no way to change the default setting lower than 41 degrees and no way to bypass the thermostat to use an external (i.e. Johnson controls, etc.). I WILL find a way to bypass it.  It will void the warranty, but I cannot live with 41 degree beer.
Who in their right mind designs a beer dispensing product that defaults to 41 degrees anyway?  Where are we...Germany?


It fits properly. Normally, Genuine Aprilaire products are good. You must be careful when you use cheaper products from the third party. I bought a box of 10 from the third party and I paid only half price of the genuine ones , they were shipped and all of them were slightly dented on top. After I replaced the genuine one with the third-party one, the water was dripping so I used a different one but I had the same problem and I did not understand the reason why it was dripping. So that year I could not use my humidifier. This year I bought these genuine ones and the dripping was gone.  I could not be able to return these 10 filters since I bought it a few years before I actually tried them. One more thing, when I rinsed the genuine water panel with water, the water did not seem to change color; on the other hand, the water from the third-party water panel was yellow, it was scary. I was glad to throw them all; otherwise I may get sick.


We purchased this to put on our 30'sailboat.  It makes enough ice at night when we are plugged into 30 amp shore power to fill the cooler so we have cold drinks all day long.  I leave it on the salon floor at the bulkhead and the cord is long enough to plug into the 110 volt outlet in the head(bathroom) or at the portside outlet.  By plugging it in to the outlet in the head, we don't have to step over the cord and the door to the head clears the cord, so that the head can be used while the machine is plugged in.  Also,  the unit is short enough that the salon table can be converted into a bed without having to move the icemaker.  When we leave the boat for a few days, I  drain the unit into the bilge, eliminating the need to lift the unit to drain it.  This ice maker makes cruising more enjoyable for us -- who like a warm drink on a hot day!  I haven't tried to run it off the inverter,  but I believe that it could be run off the inverter, as we have enough house battery to keep our onboard refrigerator running for 48 hours using battery power.


I purchased this 3+ weeks ago. As the first reviewer stated, the directions are somewhat lacking. This is even more evident if you plan to use corny kegs. The Beverage factory web page had a somewhat helpful picture concerning corny kegs and hoses. The hose clamps are plastic. I am not impressed with them. I bought metal clamps at a local hardware store. The first few days the temperature was 33 F. Ice formed on the back wall and plugged the drainage hole at the back and I cleared it by chipping away and then with some warm water. Temperature has been 37-38 F the past couple of weeks.

This kegerator is designed for one tap, not two. If you have two taps you must put the CO2 tank inside because the hole in the back wall is not big enough for two gas hoses. It does come with a plug for the hole so that is not a problem. Luckily, this unit will fit two corny kegs and my 15 lb CO2 tank, but just barely. Overall I am happy with it but I have had it a little under a month.


The quality was good but If you are buying this for an ice maker line there are a couple considerations.

The compression fittings are permanently attached to the line so you cannot cut the line to length.

Also both ends are female compression fittings but many refrigerator connections are also female so if you have that set up you will need a male male compression fitting to connect the line.

Also I had to try two different 1/4 inch fittings to connect the line to my water supply which had been installed earlier by a water filter company.  The fitting that was left for the ice maker connection was a 1/4 inch push in but as mentioned above this liine has the fittings permanently attached.  I found that connecting the brass fittings to plastic 1/4 inch fittings took some experimentation to find a corresponding 1/4 inch male fitting in vinyl that would work with the existing 1/4 inch PEX and the brass fittings on the line.

In short if you are experienced this line works well.  If you a less experienced DIY type just make sure you have the correct fittings at both ends of your run before buying this line.


Amazon's check "wasn't sure" on fitness of this part for my Kenmore Elite model 630.16309405, but I decided to risk it given I knew the Kenmore was made by Bosch, part number 607335 matched Kenmore's, really low price, and the fact that the seller's picture looked identical.  The picture was right, it is the same part. Definitely appears to be brand new, despite the low price.

My 10-year old one failed to completely close, so water kept constantly seeping in.  After pulling out the old one and taking off the brass elbow, I could see that our hard water deposits during 10 years of use likely caused it to fail.  Cleaning might have fixed it, but at this price for a new one, why bother.

Removal and install was not bad at all, but easiest if you take out the dishwasher and turn it on it's back (getting tube off the outlet probably would have been difficult had I left the DW under the cabinet).

Also, note you likely need to get a brass elbow adapter to match your water supply.  I wouldn't recommend taking it off the old one, but that might work.

Seller did great job getting the part to me in 2 days with reasonable expedited shipping cost.


Our old Samsung finally took a dive, just not worth the cost of repair.  We decided on this LG after reading so many great reviews on other sites!  We needed a new fridge ASAP as our freezer and ice maker were down the tubes.  This fridge has so many features like a second ice maker in the freezer compartment along with the one in the door.  Lots of LED lighting, the freezer, ice maker and even the freezer, and bright!  Temp. adjustable storage areas with humidity control for fresh fruits and veggies. Plenty of in door storage, even in front of the in door ice maker----no shelving lost because of the ice maker.  The water filter is easily accessible to change.  Even temp. throughout just makes it even better.  Love the French doors, everything is so visible when the doors are open---this is our first French door fridge.  Repair service is great!  A simple call to the dealer and it's taken care of if needed.  This thing even has a self-diagnostic feature that will connect to a tech. if ever needed.  So far no problems at all, and we are just enjoying all of the great features this unit has! Would we recommend?---absolutely!


I bought this dryer about 1.5 month ago. the dryer does the job drying, but 75% of the time you need to do 2 cycles of drying per load. This is not that big of a deal because it is lower power as described.

The dryer came dented (not sure if this was due to shipping), but everytime I dry my clothes they end up smelling like they were burned/smell like tabacco (I don't smoke/do drugs of any kind).  I originally thought it might have something to do with clothes, but I tried everyting and it always leaves an umplesant smell. I know this has to do with the dryer because if I wash the clothes and air dry it, then it does not smell bad.  Right now the only thing I can do is to add a few fabric softening clothes into the dryer everytime which reduces the smell. The dryer will do its job if you don't mind the smell, bur I do not recommend this.


This fan arrived very quickly.  We didn't find the instructions to be too difficult.  Actually, because of the reviews, I contacted Akdy for installation instructions before ordering.  I thought they were fairly detailed, so went ahead and ordered the fan.  The instructions that came with the fan were the same as what Akdy provided.
My husband and I installed this ourselves.  We cut down the chimney covers to fit our 8' ceilings with no problems.  The hardest part of install were the tiny screws that connect the support frame to the mounting bracket on the ceiling.  They have to be connected with nuts on the inside, and they're so tiny!  We got them all up, and somehow tightened though.
We bought this fan because of it's powerful 870 CFM motor as we wanted to mount it a bit higher than recommended.  We are so tired of hitting our head on a fan, also the remote is really nice!  Works wonderfully.  The light is very bright, the bulbs do come out, so we could replace them later on with LED (they are halogen).
The fan is very powerful.  It seems to work well.  On high it is a bit loud, but quieter than our old 1960s fan! When using a fan, it's not typically on high for too long, I'm not terribly concerned with the decibel level.


I'm a guy who do not put feedback if everything is OK or almost OK. But I do comment only in the occasions, where it is really necessary.

I got this item yesterday and installed on the same day evening. Before installing I had read the reviews positives and negatives. So I had gone thru the installation manual and followed each and every step (removed paper cover, filled water before placing on the slot, tried remove 5 gallons of water, etc).
From the moment it installed, it is giving a noise like a car engine when the water is dispensed. Water flow is very slow and I had to wait almost 40 minutes to dispense 5 gallons of water, still the sound is there. Only the difference was the tone of the sound changed.. It's a waste time, testing your patience and noisy. I could have used the dispensed 5 gallon water for watering the plants if it is a summer. But in winter, where i can use it? As the The main attraction towards this product was its price and quantity. I have installed different filters in the past years and never had any issues.

I'm planning to return this product.


I'm not using this for home brewing, but to use a chest freezer as my regular household refrigerator. It's much more energy efficient, partly because the cold air stays in place when you open it, and partly because it's better insulated. Until manufacturers start making home refrigerators in the chest configuration, the best you can do is trick a freezer into operating at higher temperatures. This product does the job. I stuck the outdoor sensor of my digital thermometer inside to check the temperature, and the dial was right on, with maybe three degrees of fluctuation each way.

If you use a chest freezer as your main refrigerator, be sure to get one with lots of baskets! Another issue is condensation. Upright fridges typically catch the water and drop it into an evaporation pan. Freezers don't have this, but they do have a drain hole. I keep the drain hole open all the time and stick a rag where the water comes out, and then use the rag to clean the floor.


So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old:  reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol.  This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much.  You kids who think it won't happen to you?

It will.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

That said, the product works great.  Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget.  One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater.  My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum.  (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.)  He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this.  I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed.  He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went.  He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977  - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macram.

Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.


Can't trust the measurements.  I had on unit and bought two more to use in different areas our home.  But for kicks I lined up all three next to each other in one medium to large-sized room for several days to find out if they would show the same temp and humidity levels - they didn't and don't.  I observed 3 different humidity level readings which varied as much as 6%, and the temperature readings varied by as much as 4 degrees.  Further, the humidity readings were usually within 1%-2% of each other in the low humidity ranges, such as 30%-38%, but at higher humidity levels the readings were all over the map with much greater variances between the three units.  Same thing happened for temperature readings, they seemed closer at lower temperatures than at room temperatures (65-74 degrees).  Seems these things are not calibrated or calibrated very poorly, so poorly, I can't trust the readings form any of them and have no way to know which of the three units is closest to being accurate.  I'm now looking for another manufacturer and model that at least produces more reliable readings.


Let me preface my review by saying I am absolutely a "do it yourself" handy man. I say that only to let the readers of this review understand that I am a capable person. Now, the directions that arrived with this item were some of the worst directions I have ever seen. The installation of the product was very ambiguous at best. If you don't have a relatively good head for installations, good luck on this. Most of the guys I know out there could probably manage it. If you aren't relatively savvy on the "do's and don'ts" of hardware, and installations, contact someone to put this in for you.
The product itself arrived in a damaged box, but thankfully the product survived. It looks nice and operates very well as far as the fan goes. The LED lights are very dim and would not be useful for additional light while cooking. These only serve us as ambient lighting at night. The operating instructions are equally horrible. That is to say that they practically don't exists. I still haven't figured out how to take this off of military (24 hr) time.
Looks nice, operates nice (except light), and is a nice addition to our stainless kitchen. Beware of directions.


Its glue... not much to get excited over. I used it as part of a repair I was making to my LG dryer. I had the whole thing apart to replace the heating element module so I figured I'd perform some other maintenance as well.  I used this glue to adhere the new felt dryer drum gaskets around both sides of the drum. Seems to have worked with no issue, but I strongly suggest you watch a few youtube videos on that procedure before you use this product. Because I did, I know without a doubt that I saved myself a lot of heartache in mishandling this adhesive and the procedure of replacing the gaskets in general.  Even if you don't watch instructional videos, at lease wear gloves. This stuff will NOT wash off with soap and water once it begins to set.

I will say this - the price is too high. A small tube of adhesive like this, even being a specialty product, should be approx. 5-8 dollars... not 14. And the major appliance parts websites charge between 25 and 40 for a tube. Rapists... all of them!  :)


First would like to say the seller is great. Do not have anything bad to say about them. Would buy from them again. This review is on the washer. This is the biggest piece of junk. I have to constantly re-ballance the tub weekly and then it still will not work. I have called LG and they have me put my phone up the the washing machine. They will then read the error code and tell me I need to balance the machine. They will send me the instructions via email and I follow everything they say. The machine will still not do a load of laundry in under 2 hours because it has to refill over and over again to re-ballance the load. I have had this unit for almost 2 years and have had nothing but trouble with it and worst thing is having to hear my wife complain about it every time it is used. I am glad I do most of the laundry in the house.

If you research different blogs you will see that this is a very common problem with these types of washing machines. Do not go to LG home page, it appears all the reviews are great. Very bias.

Our clothes are not a clean as with the old unit we had. Will be looking to replace this unit soon. No complaints with the dryer.


Bought this range about 3 years ago after doing a lot of review reading.  I did read that the stove was hard to clean and just attributed it to bad cleaners.  Wrong!  I have to wipe up specks and spills immediately or they stain the steel and nothing will take it off except copious rubbing with magic eraser.  It seems that the final glaze or polishing was left off the top of my range (and others who have complained ) and I only found this out by rubbing the surfaces of store models and the comparing it to the surface texture of my range.  The surface of my range is definitely more grainy than smooth, and probably accounts for the difficulty in cleaning.  I like to cook and hate to have to baby the top of my stove.  I also have an older model jenn-aire that is so easy to clean compared to this go model.  GE, get your quality control in order and don't send out models that are not completely finished!  Other than that, the range is okay for cooking and baking, wouldn't buy this again though.


This is 'Compatible' to the factory filter. My LG fridge is about 8 years old and I am on a private well. My water is very good but contains a significant amount of rust and is hard. It also is quite alkaline as well. My old filter began to slow the flow of water so I went to the local orange box store to purchase a replacement. The factory filter was $49.95. Nope - not this boy is gonna pay 50 bucks for a water filter. I check Amazon and purchased this knockoff. I is a perfect replacement and after running a few gallons of water through it, I can't tell the difference. The water I did run through was nasty however. It was dark with a lot of particulate in it. I assume this was displaced from my water line on the filter change.

I dumped the ice in the ice maker and started over. All is well and I have about $26 extra in my wallet and a new filter. Thanks

7-2017 update - I replaced this filter with an identical filter.  I don't think it needed replacement but I did it anyway since I changed the water valve on the fridge.


This Della washing machine washes clothes with vigorous enthusiasm. The wash timer controls the length of the wash function as well as the rinse function. Each step of the wash process is performed manually such as fill, wash, drain, fill, rinse, drain, finish. Detergent is added during the wash process while softener can be added during the rinse process. There is no spin function so the finished laundry can be wrung out and hung up to dry. But a better finish for the laundry would be to obtain a spinner to extract the water from the laundry prior to hanging to dry. The machine is reasonably quiet and washes a good amount of clothes or towels. Bed sheets can also be done, but blankets are too bulky. There is a control for selecting normal or gentle washing. This control also activates the drain function. There is a drain pump so the machine empties quickly. The machine is made of plastic which makes it light weight and easy to move around. The Della washing machine delivers very credible washing performance for a reasonable price.


I own the Avanti W789SA washer and am quite happy with the machine.  We live in a small apartment with a baby, so a machine was needed.  At first I had reservations on the product as there were no reviews and the brand was unknown.  As this was the only compact washer I could find that would fit in our small bathroom next to the sink, I made the purchase.

The washer has been in use for over a year with no problems.  We average 1-2 loads a week because of the small load capacity.  Clothes come out clean and there are no water leaks to the floor.  Be sure to tighten up the hoses to the rear nozzles and use teflon tape.  The workmanship is not a wonder in engineering but the machine performs time after time and is becoming a workhorse.  Face it, a year's worth of no week end trips to the crowded laundramat for 3 hours is worth the 239.99 we paid for the machine.  If my machine breaks down, I would defintely by the same model.


Anyone who thinks they don't have a problem with lint should look at these pictures.  My house is only 10 years old and this is what came out of our vent.  That doesn't even include what was cleaned out from our dryer filter and what was in just the dryer unit.  This product is very easy to use.  I definitely suggest taping each junction to make sure they don't separate in the vent.  I broke my cleaning into 4 cleanings. Fist cleaning was with just the brush and the first extension.  After ensuring that section is clean I added the second and so forth until the brush came out clean.  Given the length of the brush with all four sections, I found it easier to have another set of hands guide the brush into the vent while the other set was operating the drill.
I noticed that when I turned the dryer back on there was some lint that was dislodged and blew out the outside vent opening.  Unfortunately in my case some lodged between the slats and is keeping the vent opening from fully closing.  I will be making a trip up my ladder once the ground dries a little so I can remove those pieces.  A little price to pay for a clean vent.


I've had this since November 15, 2011 - so about two months.  It was working great and I LOVED this machine.  Then, the lid got "stuck".  I worked to release it or reset it (whatever).  The unit worked one more time and then .... nothing.  You fill the tub, put in the plastic disc to hold the clothes in the tub, close the lid, plug it in, turn on the timer and .... nothing.  Done, broken, kaput.  It is now in pieces on my bathroom floor and I am going to spend "some time" trying to fix it.  I'd contact the Laundry Alternative but based on EVERY customer review, their customer service is non-existent.

Too bad.  When this machine works it is fantastic!  Any entrepreneurs out there that want to create a better mousetrap (called "the laundry spinner")?  Fix these problems and it looks like you would have a passionate, devoted clientele that you could grow!


You would be an absolute idiot to buy from this company! I bought an icemaker around $600 for home use from this company, Edgester! It had taken three weeks are so for delivery. I bought their three-year guarantee, as I was told over the phone it was a great guaranteed and covered everything. About five months later it caught fire thank God we were home and saw the smoke. I called Edgestar every day for over a month because I was not getting a call back. When I finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau I received a call back from a person at Edgestar. He acted as if he was taking all the information, he said it would be taken care of and somebody would be calling me shortly. One more month went by so I started calling again, this person informed me that I needed to call the company who they contract the  guarantee with. So I did, needless to say it's been over eight months and nothing has been completed. Not only did I pay $600 for an icemaker but I also paid a three-year guarantee policy. I've done a lot of research on this company I would say at least six out of 10 have problems. If you are the type person that likes chaos and problems in your life, then go ahead and buy from this worthless company. Money down the drain. Never never again!!


Our repairman wanted to charge us nearly $300 to replace this handle and it was going to take a week to get in. The part alone was well over $150!!  No thanks!  I saw how the repairman removed and replaced the panel and it didn't look that hard.  Found a youtube video and it showed to be pretty simple, so we decided to try it.  I found the part here for less than $40 and got an extra spring (Whirlpool 8268540 Door Handle Spring) that we installed. Yes, the spring is a little pricey at $4 itself but trust me, it is worth it if you break or lose your spring but if you can keep the old spring, add the new spring to the other side (it's made to have one but the manufacturer cheaps out by not having it).  It helps the handle work SO much better and I think will keep the new one from breaking like the old one did.  Switched this out in less than 20 minutes. Works great!  And don't worry about it being a different color, you'll never even see it.


UPDATE November of 2017:  Avoid this product at all costs.  It lasted 10 months, and then failed.  You'll see this as a reoccurring theme across many of the reviews here.

My advice: Spend the extra $20 or so, and get this part from an online appliance parts provider who guarantees that it is OEM, and stands behind the authenticity and quality of the part.  I feel like shopping on Amazon these days is like eBay......you never know what you're going to get, or from whom.

I received this pump, and am really wondering if I got a true OEM part or not.  Mainly because the impeller wheel is very warped, so I'm worried that this pump may not last long.  I had no choice but to install it because I have 3 kids and the laundry is really starting to pile up.  The pump does work, but it's loud, and in looking at the other reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one to have received a pump that has a bent/warped impeller wheel.

Amazon has a real problem on their hands because I simply cannot trust what I buy from their site anymore.


What a great ice machine!! The only con would be the ice tray has to be pulled out of the machine to get to the ice. A tilt out tray would have been the bee's knees! Nevertheless, it's fantastic. (2 months after purchase)

(1 year later) this machine does not work at all. I've pleaded with this seller to do something about it. It is not cheap! I have requested Amazon to help. NOTHING. They, seller and Amazon, refuse to help. I looked up Della on Better Business Bureau website and guess who's phone number was listed? One Big Outlet. Yeah... So I called them. They said "Call Della" I said, "Their number is YOUR NUMBER" and he said, "yeah, sorry."

BUYER BEWARE!

I will be reporting this company to the BBB over this purchase. Shame on Amazon for not wanting to do right by a long time customer! I cannot get a local small appliance business to look at this machine. They have all said (4 businesses) "Ma'am, don't buy online".


This little machine is my new companion. I bought this knowing that it's very hands on but that is exactly that I wanted. I do fabric dyeing and I need to soak clothes, scour them for extended period of time and rinse multiple times to full get the dye out.  This machine is so perfect for that because I can control every step of the process. I have no problems with leaks like some of the other reviews. The instructions were very clear and have photos to go with each step. I wish I would have bought one years ago!  If you set the spin to the full 5 minutes it dries the clothes almost completely and it only takes an hour or two to dry them which is awesome!  I'm a single parent with a toddler and this comes in so handy because I can do a small load of laundry every day or two instead of dedicate a whole day at the laundromat. The only thing I don't like is standing and holding the hose to my faucet but I am going to see if I can get a screw on connector from my local hardware store.  Also the water doesn't fully drain out of the drain hose because of the distance to my sink but I do laundry often enough that this is not an issue because it is constantly flushed out.


It came a day late(held up in my state 1 day right before it came to me)  with damaged shipping crate (which the delivery person thoughtfully pointed out to me)  Inside the crate the machine was intact and worked fine. Have been using for about 5 months.  What works for me is to put right inside my bathtub on a rubber matt to prevent machine from sliding.  I  let the drain hose rest on the bottom of the tub and have a generic 99 cent strainer over the bath tub/shower  drain to prevent any lint/pet fur/human hairs from clogging up the plumbing.  I fill with a pail and use minimal soap ( like 1-2 teaspoons of powder).  The centrifuge is fantastic, you can easily dry things on rack or hangers and no drips on the floor.  It weighs about 34 pounds easy for me to carry.  The lint catcher inside the machine is easy to find/pop out/ and rinse off.  No complaints, I would buy again.  I got it to replace a large standard top load washing machine that wore out beyond fixing.  Use it weekly for ordinary laundry for one person.


These were definitely nicer than I expected.  They are darker and shinier than my last ones.  Completely renewed the look of my stove, not to mention there will be no more smoke coming from the drip pans.  I had washed and scrubbed by hand and in dishwasher and just couldn't get the old ones clean anymore.  I'm so happy with these.  They look great, are a very dark black color, and fit perfectly.  They arrived promptly, are better than expected and a good price. They were very well packaged with separators between pans and enclosed in plastic. Would definitely purchase again!!  I added a couple of photos so you can compare the old to new and see how nice they look on in the second pic. Range Kleen P119204X Porcelain GE Drip Pans Set Of 4 Containing 2 Units P119, P120, Black


Can't beat the price for these filters. I used them for the replacement filters on my Samsung fridge (the D29 or whatever number as they're advertised) and the fit was perfect. Some people thought they were smaller than the original Samsungs, but I compared the 2 and saw no difference. As far as water clarity/taste/all that good stuff, I can't tell a difference between these and the name brand ones.

Word of advice: it's going to sound horrible the first couple of times you get water from your fridge until you get all the bubbles out. So don't be afraid of that. Also, it's going to fill with water/pressurize when you install it, so don't be afraid of that either, but make sure it is actually completely installed because these filters (by design, the Samsungs did it too) are kind of hard to rotate into place. But that's a good thing so they don't fall out or something.

Final word of advice: Keep paper towels handy for removing the old filter, because it'll be full of water and will spill as you're removing it.


I researched a new dual fuel range for several weeks before finally deciding on this model. It was delivered on 3/2/11. There were several concerns from the get-go:
1)After shutting oven off, the fan stayed on for over three hours because the oven took forever to cool down.
2)The panel directly above the oven door is plastic and we could see some separation taking place because the plastic got so hot when oven was on.
3)The warming drawer didn't close completely so heat poured out of this area when oven was hot.
4)So much heat radiated from oven that it started melting the finish on adjacent cabinets.
5)After the fifth use of the oven, it quit heating up, never again going above 160 degrees. After six weeks and four different repairmen visits trying to figure out was was wrong with the unit, it was finally decided that the range was not repairable and I could return it to the store. Good news for me since it meant I could get this over-sized hot plate out of my kitchen!

FYI: Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux. Per the repairmen that came out, they work on more Elec/Frig ranges than any other brand. Wished I had talked to them before buying this product.

The only reason I give it two stars is because I really liked the appearance, stovetop, grates and controls.


I bought this item online (not from Amazon), and when I received it I could see that the packaging was a bit roughed up.  It seemed that it might have been dropped on the front upper left corner, as it was subtly dented there and it difficult to open the door.  Well, I decided to give it a whirl anyway, and after a few minutes, warm water started pouring out of the front panel!  Oh noo!

Well, that was the bad news, but here's the good news: The customer service rep at EdgeStar I spoke to was amazing! The rep was very quick, easy to talk to, and immediately determined that the water pump must have been damaged during shipment (no hold time either).  In minutes I had a code to give to the company I purchased the unit from, so I called them up, gave them the code (no hold time either), and they instructed me to pack the unit back up and put it on the porch for UPS.  The next day, UPS came to pick it up.  Amazing!

So, I'm pretty impressed with their service!  I've lived overseas and was amazed that in many countries, this would be considered the absolute minimum in customer service.  But as an American company, EdgeStar has completely exceeded my expectations, making me dream of a better tomorrow where things actually work, and if they don't someone takes responsibility and fixes it! Kudos EdgeStar!


Had my husband pick this up for me from Target - on sale this week for 109.00. Took it out today and let it sit for an hour as per instructions and cleaned it. When the time came to make ice I followed the directions and filled it with water but half way between the min and max fill line as they recommend disposing of the first several ice cycles. That was 2 1/2 hours ago. It makes about 7 cubes per 20 minutes and the small size is almost an inch long. Larger than I expected but hollow so was ok. I had expected it to work faster. The largest problem is it is leaking from the back left foot. The first leak on the counter I wiped up and thought perhaps I had spilled - even though it was in the back. But the counter is wet all over again from the back left foot. After reading other reviews we are returning it tomorrow and looking for a better one even if we have to spend a bit more.


If performance is what you want, look elsewhere than this dishwasher. With today's energy efficient appliances everything is less - which is NOT more.  I should have learned my lesson with the front loading washer having to leave the door open and constantly cleaning the mildew out of it, this dishwasher isn't much better. The heating element is by design much weaker and does not get as hot as my 10 year old unit. So, without using a drying agent (which I never had to do before), the dishes do not get dry.  I was informed by the repairman (Whirlpool didn't bother to let me know this or include a users manual with the unit) that use of a drying agent is required for normal operation. Who knew? . I only have to run the unit every few days and even using a drying agent, since the inside is plastic it is constantly wet. The flat dishes are OK, but cups and flatware are all wet after the cycle.  I have noticed mildew and the same sour smell when we open it. No idea what to do, I can't leave the dishwasher door open like we do in the laundry room. Pros - we rinse dishes off before they go into the washer so I can't really comment on the cleaning ability but it is really quiet. But that could be because it isn't using enough water....


I love the all refrigerator, no freezer, style as mini-frig freezers are messy and don't work that well.  The interior is high quality with solid, well designed door storage.  The shelves are glass and fully adjustable.  The bottom drawer is sturdy.  I have the steel finish door which looks great.  It fit exactly into the limited space, so the dimensions given are accurate.  The fridge itself is a 5 star.

I took one star away because the manual is a generic manual meant to cover many of the Danby fridges.  The  instructions for switching the side the door opens on is vague and doesn't AT ALL reflect what it takes to switch the door on this model.  It is complicated and involves removing the top of the fridge to access and remove the door, and flipping it on the side to switch out the bottom hardware as well.  All together there were 10 screws to remove and replace as well as the screw that adjusts one side of the fridge only (manual says there are 2 adjusting feet).  I don't mind that it is complicated, it's the totally missing instructions on how to do it.  Had to figure it out myself and then 3 of the screws would not screw back in place, so I had to find 3 slightly larger screws, and then it worked; if there were instructions I might not have run into this.


I find it very helpful to have a tool like this around.  Not only for measuring ambient temperature and humidity, but also for things like seeing how well the A/C is doing either in my house or my cars.  This can tell me if my refrigerant needs recharged.

The tool is well made and seems fairly durable.  It's not bulletproof, and a drop off a ladder or something would worry me, but I don't think I'll be using it in that fashion too much.  It does come with a case, but it's a pretty cheap looking pleather/vinyl type of thing, and the instructions don't fit inside along with the tool.

It's always sensing and adjusting in real-time, so it doesn't really "lock" onto any readings.  You basically have to make a judgement call when you think it's stable.  The temperature takes much longer to bring up to stable than the humidity.  Going between wide variations in temp will require a few minutes for it to really adjust and stabilize.  The humidity is better and usually stablizes in under a minute.

I do wish it had a backlight, faster response time and a nicer case.


I have a cat with severe dandruff and dry skin. She is black, so it is very noticeable. This is a lifelong problem. I started giving her Vetri-Science Nu-Cat, 60 Bite-Sized Chews (multi-vitamins), and using this shampoo. With both of these products, her dandruff is almost completely gone. It is not just the vitamins that are helping, but this shampoo as well. I have tried not giving her the vitamins, or not using the shampoo, and each time the dandruff got worse. With BOTH of these products, her dry skin is almost completely gone. I absolutely love this shampoo!!! If you have any pets with severe dry skin, PLEASE, PLEASE buy this product. The price is wonderful for how much shampoo you get. It is a concentrate, so you can make a lot of shampoo with it. My cat also loves it. She is so much happier. It is really worth the money. You will be very glad you bought it!! I will continue to use this shampoo for the rest of her life. It is VERY, VERY HELPFUL!!!


Last week the water filter replacement light went on, on my GE refrigerator.  I went from store to store looking for replacement filters.  I was unable to find anything.  I decided it was time to scour the internet.  I found this filter for $25.  That's great considering comparable ones go for up to 50.  I wen ahead and made the order.  The item showed up on my doorstep in the typical brown Amazon box within forty eight hours, which is fantastic.  I opened it up and immediately found it was the same quality as the one GE makes.  I went ahead and unwrapped it, and swapped it for the one inside the refrigerator.  Now the replace filter light is off, and once again i have super pure water.  The only difference between this filter and the retail filter is what you pay for in the name brand.  I agree--sometimes you get what you pay for, but this is an exception.  I would highly recommend this to anyone needing to replace a refrigerator water filter, but cannot bring themselves to spend $50 when then can only spend $25.


I don't have a clothes dryer. So why, did I buy this product? I wanted to get the excess crap/crud out of my HVAC ducts. I'm a heavy user of air conditioning. The cleaner the ducts, the better the air quality and efficiency. I live in an apartment and duct cleaning is not covered. Also I'm too cheap to have strangers come into my fine abode, upset my rambunctious cat and make the whole affair a Broadway production. I can imagine a bill with three digits and no decimal points after the first number. The technicians schlepping behemoth machines and fancy chemicals and the old upsell. So Deflecto Duct cleaning kit to the rescue. The brush is nice and long when all the rods are attached. My ducts are wall mounted right below the ceiling and I'm vertically challenged. No problem using this kit. I don't have a drill so I attach all the extensions shove the brush inside the duct and use a clockwise direction as instructed. A lot of dust and crud came out. I know that to have pristine spotless ducts, I'd have to call in the professionals but, I'm very satisfied and can feel the slight performance improvement in the areas I cleaned the ducts with this product.


My condo developers installed MAH2400A units after construction sometime in 2009 (the Minto Quantum II development in Toronto). An investor bought the unit I would later purchase and it sat empty until I purchased it in March of 2010. I didn't move in and start using the unit for some time after that. So by the time I had begun to use this washer it was 2011, well past the stingy one year warranty. After about 10 uses it stopped working. It would let water flow in but when it got to the spin cycle it would just report Error Code 3E. I tried all possible combinations of cycles but it would not spin or drain. I called the local 'Maytag metro repair' (not directly affiliated with Maytag) who came and looked at the machine and said it would need either a new circuitboard or new motor. Either would be $600 and "maybe" would fix the problem. I called Whirlpool who apparently now owns Maytag and was told it was out of warranty. I explained the details of my situation several times and was told they wouldn't do anything. I wrote letters to both the US and Canadian offices which were ignored. I write this review today as I am finally able to afford a new washing machine (LG) and am getting rid of this expensive and otherwise brand new paperweight.


The product "LOOKS" good. The insulation gives the impression of a heavy gauge wire ,may be 8 or 10. The seller has neither given the gauge nor the material (Cu or Al) of the wire. The difference between 8 and 10 gauge wires is very small 0.676mm  (3.264- 2.588). Only experienced electricians can make out the difference.
Else the product is good. The strain relief clamp was pretty easy to instal. A little dexterity was involved. One must first drive in a mm or two, both the self tapping screws provided into the clamps, then unscrew them out  so that when you do actual fitting the threads are clean and a little wide and  will be easier to start driving the screw in. I installed this clamp after making the connections. Insert both the clamps ears first in to the enclosure. Such that the screw will be inserted from the top. Then drive in one screw a mm or 2 only to hold in place. Now drive in the second just a bit. Just the push /wiggle the cable  through it so that the bared wires are out of the clamp, and tighten the clamp as required .


The ice maker is wonderful!  Love the red color - it goes with all my other kitchen appliances and is the only red one I could find on the Internet.  There are 3 choices of ice cubes - the donut kind with a hole in the middle.  We use the medium size and it is really fast.  Lots of cubes for a few glasses before it has to start making more of the little "cubers".  My son thought I was crazy when I told him I had ordered an ice maker, and a red one at that!  But, after he set it up for me, added the water, set the size of the cubes, then waited just a few minutes before the ice was plunking into the container - he said, "Wow, mom!  This is great!  What a good idea!"  I said pretty much the same thing in a previous review for this product - so am really just repeating how pleased we are with this purchase.


We have owned this dishwasher for over two years and have never had one single problem with it.  We did buy it refurbished, so I feel like we got an even better deal given how incredible this thing works.  The features are plentiful, however we usually just use Normal setting.  Dishes come out clean.  We use Finish tablet soap as well as Finish Rinse Aid.

I am writing this review because I stumbled on this product here on Amazon and noticed the low rating.  Baffled, I started reading and was disappointed to see so many people have had problems.  I feel like our experience was different enough to warrant contributing to the opinions collected here.

In 2010 many states banned the use of phosphates in consumer dishwashing detergent.  This seems to have resulted in a mass of negative reviews on dishwashers, however in our case, despite being in a state that has banned phosphate, we continue to have excellent results with this dishwasher.  We have also not had any electrical parts fail.

We also own an LG gas range and it has been reliable and trustworthy as well.


I bought this product after reading the description and a customer reviewing confirming it was compatible with Samsung refrigerators DA29-0003G. The review mentioned it was only of a little different length/size but fit. That was why I placed my order without hesitation but NO!!! watch out. It looks exactly the same but with a tiny difference in the two teeth that have to fit in. They do not fit in and so you will never be able to turn it on to click.... I tried two of the three fitlers I received but they did not fit. I then tried again my old (not original) one and it went perfectly. I tried for a third time this new one but again it was never compatible as claimed in the description by the seller/manifacturer. It will go back..... The following is an Update on May 11th, 2015: The one that really works and I have now been using since after the original review date is ACE+ ..... Best Luck.


I did not buy this from Amazon but bought it from our local small appliance store when our old Maytag gave up the ghost and repairs were not sensible. I went to the appliance store with the intention of buying something else - for more money - when the appliance guy told me about this Speed Queen. Its features and he persuaded me. That was a few years ago and I have never had one regret. I love this machine! Yes, it is possible to love a washing machine. This is a GREAT washing machine and we have owned several types and brands over the years. From here on out, I never want to have any other kind but a Speed Queen and the way this one works like a champ, it looks like I will be able to own THIS one for a long, long time. It just does a superb job, no problems. I am a very finicky laundry-person and this machine works beautifully for a finicky laundry-person. So grateful for that appliance guy! Now I hope he can recommend a stove and refrigerator as good as this Speed Queen!


The moment I saw this oven on the showroom floor I knew it was the one. (Everything else in our remodel changed over time, but with this oven, I went with my first love.) And I love, love, love it still. We used it to bake a 22-lb. turkey at Thanksgiving and it was fabulous! I can't wait to try out all the features once the holidays are behind us. We bought the black model and it is beautiful. Our color accent is blue, so the blue interior and the blue clock light fit in perfectly. One small thing to mention is the digital clock light on the front is always on and at night is quite bright. As our oven is situated sideways and slightly back from the sitting and dining areas, this is not a problem, but if it were, say, within eye range while you were watching TV I think it could be a bit bothersome. Maybe there's a feature to lessen the brightness, but I don't think so.


My dryer seemed like it was taking a looooong time to run the Automatic cycle, and thought it might be a problem with the dryer's moisture sensor, or the vent was getting clogged. I haven't cleaned the 4" solid  duct for my dryer vent in 20 years, so figured that could be part of the problem and start there.

I wasn't sure how flexible the shaft would be to go through the elbows on my dryer's 12' of ductwork, but it handled a 90' turn with no problems. I did take the pipe apart at one elbow to make sure I got all the lint out. The supplied shaft extensions gave me plenty of length to do the job.

Brush could be just a tad bigger to exert more "scrubbing " force to the inside walls of the pipe, but pulling it in and out with my drill running full speed was sufficient to do a good job unsticking all the lint...and it gave me a sort of fun satisfying feeling to really ream the pipe out!

After getting all the lint vacuumed up and the ductwork reassembled, my dryer seems to take a LOT less time to dry a load of clothes :-) . Great, well made product and well worth it.


just want to say kit worked awesome and easy to install took under 15 min was pulling our hair out on washing machine going unbalanced know matter how small or how big the load was and no matter how careful we loaded it making it as even as possible so would not go unbalance was actually in the process looking at new washing machines to replace old one witch had been purchased in 2009 cause thought might be worn out we as a family do on the average 2 loads of wash  a day more on weekends so if your machine going unbalanced easily and never did it before and getting worse I highly suggest replacing suspension kit saved our family a lot of money and machine runs smooth now and one other thing compared old kit to new one could not see no actual damage or big difference that would cause issue or worn out but don't let that fool you if top cups where out slightly different then other ones hard to see and if springs loose there stiffness also new kit comes with plastic bushings so top swivel ball rides on it my machine was plastic on metal so its a update make sure you use plastic bushing don't throw out very happy with purchase


This filter literally BROKE MY FRIDGE. Water pump/ filter head no longer works. I installed this filter, heard a bunch of clunks and got 1/4 cup of water. I tried re-installing my old filter and that didn't fix it. Repairman says I need a new filter head/ pump, for several hundred dollars. Amazon says the manufacturer is responsible for problems their items cause and they don't have any liability, although they are selling the product through their site and the search function says this filter works for my model fridge. I have an email into the manufacturer so we'll see.

*** This is an additional comment after having my fridge repaired and contacting the company about the problem. I did send them a receipt for $180 of labor to repair my fridge (the part was under warranty) and after some issues with paypal the company refunded the repair money in full. Please check if the filter you are removing has a circle or a square at the tip. If it's a circle, do not use this filter. The repair company told me, as well, that you should run the filter under your faucet for a minute or two to soak it, even though the directions do not say to do so. This may help with the pump issue.


Tried hard to make it work. The adapter was too small for the three-bolt mount used by my old Emerson disposal. When I finally got it in place, my new Waste King 2600 simply fell through the retaining ring. I had to return both the 2600 and the kit . . . with shipping charged to me.

I needed the kit because I wanted to use my existing polished brass sink flange. Otherwise, I would have used the hardware supplied with the 2600, which looked as if it would work nicely.

And, yes, I tried everything. I spoke with Waste King, viewed their videos and read their literature, so I'm confident I did what I was supposed to do. Problem was that the outside diameter of the part of the kit that mates with the existing three-bolt mount system was 82mm, while the outside diameter of my old Emerson was 89mm. The kit piece simply isn't large enough

I went to Lowes, bought an Insinkerator, which is made by Emerson, and installed it with no problem.


We are very happy with this hood.  I did some comparison shopping before buying it, looking at other hoods in showrooms, and decided to go with this hood due to the combination of design, number of positive reviews on Amazon, and the price point.

Due to some reviews I was concerned installation would be difficult, so I hired an experienced electrician, who had no problem installing it.  But looking at the manual and observing the process made me think that the hardest part was knowing exactly where to locate it on the wall, and cutting out the vent hole.

Pros - as mentioned above, plus now that it is installed we find it draws well, and are pleased at how relatively quiet it is, especially compared to more expensive models I previewed before the purchase.  I would also mention that one screen filter was slightly damaged in transit and Kitchen Bath Collection's customer service proved excellent, being courteous and responsive to our call and sending us a replacement.

Cons - I will agree that the LED lighting emits an odd blueish color, but that is not a big concern to us.


If you are looking for a very quiet dishwasher, but don't have concern for if your dishes are actually cleaned this is for you.  The Miele Futura Dimension is super quiet, you can't even tell it is on.  And when it is done, you also won't really be able to tell if it has run from looking at your dishes & silverware.  Because it doesn't do a very good job washing dishes.

The finish & look is great, the loading is difficult, and the silverware draw thing is cumbersome to load, but you could also just put your silverware away dirty, or give them a quick rinse because that is basically what the dishwasher does.

The long cycles are not a problem for us, as we only do dishes once a day, so having the machine running for such a long time isn't a big deal.

In summary:  Great quiet dishwasher, except it doesn't get dishes too clean.  Everything else about it is really great.


This has been a terrible purchase. This is the noisiest refrigerator I have ever heard. The technicians have been out 4 times in the last year since i bought it, and the problem still exists. The techs have been out for multiple issues form the ice maker to the door not sealing to the unit being very noisy. All three problems are still an issue even after 4 visits by technicians. The mailed me parts for a third time now. Got the new door a few weeks ago and it was damaged.  The have to install a new compressor. Overall, its been a terrible experience. I asked them to just replace it at this point and the customer service lady said that she couldn't because they have operated under one work order the whole time and that it takes 3 to be eligible.  4 visits. one work order. Pissed off customer. Really i just want my money back. You can have the fridge.  I very rarely leave negative feedback. This has been terrible. Oh and before i forget. The service window that you have to make yourself available is 8-5. So i have given up 4 days of work to be available for their tech... NOT COOL.


Pros:

-- So quiet you don't hear it even if you're in the same room. Having a Bosch is like getting another room in your house.
-- Cleaning is amazing if you use the right detergent for your water and your water isn't too hard. Finish Tabs work extremely well for us.
-- Efficiency is phenomenal. Uses extremely little water and electricity so over the life of the dishwasher it will save you a few bucks.

Cons:

-- You have to use good quality detergent. If your detergent is poor quality I think the problems are magnified in the Bosch because it uses so little water.
-- Racks are odd and take some getting used to. They have good features but I like American style racks better.
-- There is no dry cycle. So dishes (especially plastics) can be a little wet when you take them out. That, along with 2 hour cycles is the price you pay for ultra energy efficiency (the dishwasher only uses about $20 worth of electricity in a YEAR).

Everyone should know: If you want ultra-quiet, the price you pay will be long cycles because the dishwasher is running at lower water pressure. The faster the dishwasher, the louder it is going to be. So I suppose speed versus noise is the tradeoff you should be aware of when you buy the dishwasher. If you want quiet Bosch is a great choice. Though there are other good choices as well.


For the life of me, I'll never understand why LG (like so many other manufacturers) would use what is basically an aquarium pump in a washing machine, but it does the job...until it doesn't anymore.  The good thing about this design approach is that the repair parts are much cheaper.  Several places wanted over $60 for this same part.  Even with expedited shipping (overnight service), I had my problem solved for less than $35 here on Amazon.  The original pump lasted about 12 years. If this one lasts that long I suppose it will be time for a new washing machine anyway.  I knock one star off only because this was a white-label product. It says Genuine LG Factory Original...blah, blah...but I can't be sure.  It fit perfectly, and the electrical connections were correct, so it might well be OEM.  I just can't know that based on what I got.  Either way, it was an easy fix and a great deal.


With the ice thickness set to the factory setting, our ice was also coming out as a thick sheet.  We reached out to other customers on the Amazon site to fix this issue--all you have to do is adjust the ice size to come out thinner.  In very little time at all, the sheets appear to break apart nicely. This means the ice is dropping more frequently, of course, but it's nice to hear how productive the unit is.  On a manufacturing stand point, I think it would have been more helpful if the ice cube sizing was on the front of the unit in stead of the back, and if the ice cube sizing was more intuitive (- or down arrow on a clearly labeled panel for thinner ice, instead of how it is currently by pressing the TOP button to DECREASE the ice size/thickness--nothing is clearly marked). BTW, I don't think the machine is nearly as loud as people make it out to be.  Our old Sub Zero under counter ice machine was horribly loud, especially because the pump ran all the time.  So far so good in less than a week's time.  :-)


KUDIO2FRSS0 Model Dishwasher.  7 years ago we remodeled and went KA all the way right down to the measuring cups. Each of the five major appliances has had at least one service call.  With the frig, it was a faulty design that stressed the drawer roller connection points causing them to eventually break - replaced three drawers in first five years.  A small noise also developed, but I caught that one within the warranty and had a fan replaced. The microwave had a circuit board burnout - non warranty repair of $330.  The stove had a non-resettable overload open during the first oven cleaning mode - so the service guy tells us not to use the feature because it will simply open again.  Then there is the Trash Compactor.  That was easier to get their attention once I mentioned the fact that we experienced smoke and a burning smell while it operated. They rebuilt the entire unit even though it was out of warranty - wise decision on their part.  Last year the door mechanism gave out on the dishwasher. Last month, the  dishwasher motor / pump was replaced, and today the serviceman informed me the heater control problem would be ~$400 and he had no guarntee that the design issue that allowed this failure to occur has been corrected.  We are currently shopping for a new dishwasher....good luck if you own a KA major appliance...


We had one humidifier in our our master bedroom and just purchased a new one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YFFRDV0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01) for our living room.  We have been using this add in for about a year and it has helped keep the Algae and grime from growing over weeks of use.  We put about 2 shot glasses it the water reservoir about every 8-10 gallons and it works great.

I was skeptical ordering this product because I felt my dryer duct was so unique. I live on the second floor of a four-unit building, and my dryer duct travels under my floor 20' to get to the outside. On the outside, there's about a 15' drop to the ground. The ground is also sloped, so I can't put a ladder there without digging a platform. Plus, I don't even have a ladder to begin with.

And so, I was going to have to clean my dryer duct just from the inside-out, using the 12' extension. I initially tried the wide-brush, but by the 19th foot, it got stuck. I then pulled it out, and changed the brush to the claw. When I snaked this through the duct, it punched all the way through! I went outside and I could see that the claw had taken a bird's nest with it! I then replaced the claw with the wide-brush, but again it got stuck. I finally cut the bristles on the wide brush by a third, and that finally went all the way through.

Thanks Gardus, I'm glad I didn't have to pay some pricey technician just to get my dryer working in top shape again!


4 stars because the "fit" is perfect for GE/Hotpoint range model #R B757B H1WH. Otherwise, I would have only given the drip bowls 2 stars, as I confused myself by expecting the drip pans to be made out of the same materials and heft as the oven lining itself which is porcelain enamel. I believe these black porcelain drip pans are the same as the originals that came with the stove. The originals rusted and wore through within less than a year just like the chrome ones that I have purchased as replacements. I don't always remember to wash and dry drip pans after each use, so that probably contributes to more rapid corrosion of the pans. However, I have paid as little as $5.00/set and as much as $15.00/set for replacement drip pans, and they still end up rusting quite rapidly. GE says not to line the drip bowls with aluminum foil so as to avoid hotspots...so there you are. I can't really fault the quality of these yet as they haven't been given time to please or disappoint, but I will keep searching for baked enamel drip pans.


Bought this product a year ago.  Noticed a lot of negative reviews from people that seem to be borderline collectors.  Not sure why they would even consider a product in this price range.
Very satisfied for my purposes!  I buy mainly $15 to $25 reds.
As I recall, it did take some time to get to my desired setting (62f -- don't think I ever tried going lower), but it got down to low 70's/high 60's pretty quickly -- which should be low enough to prevent any damage to a $20 wine. (Note:I bought the product in the summer and I'll usually let my place get to the high 80's before turning on the ac -- pretty much the reason I got this.  So it might work a lot quicker if you keep your place cooler).
It's very quiet.  I never here it.
It will hold 24 typical shaped bottles on the 6 racks.  It will hold 4 wider ones under the bottom rack.  28 total!!


DO NOT BUY the XPB45 it has been discountinued...this model broke down on me after a couple of months of use.....its been a along battle with the seller and amazon and i still haven't gotten this resolved.. seller makes me cut my cord so i can use it..then...the seller sends me a replacement instead, the PAN612SG....this model as well is useless, why because its not as advertised....its way smaller. as you can in the last pic the size of the covers different in size..you cant even wash a pair of adult jeans in it....according to the seller its suppose to be bigger...12lbs capacity....its looks more like a 7.9 capacity....more for kids clothes....smh...and i bought insurance on it still trying to work on that not sure if they will honor it....this was such a waste time and money....i coulda bought one from a department store...instead of these piece of craps machines....very disspointed in amazon not taking care this properly....will update to see in the insurance will honor it....


I installed this in a Kenmore stove.

The part itself works well, and was a suitable replacement for the original heating element, which had infinite resistance (it was DEAD).

The oven now preheats quickly and cook very evenly. I'm very pleased with the results.

The contacts on the part were not the same width as the original element's. I placed the new element over the original and bent it so that it matched the angles of the original part's bends. I also adjusted the placement of the metal supports with pliers to more closely resemble the original's.

When I first put it in, I then noticed that it was floating above the floor of the oven while being installed.

I pulled it back out and adjusted the angle of the contacts by bending both sides downwards near the mounting points. I put the part back in and it fit perfectly after that.

I will also note that the diameter of the new element is smaller than the old one's. This did not alter it's functionality, but the use of less material to make the replacement may be of concern to some.


This terrific little dryer is used in my apartment bathroom. I was worried at first that it would heat up my entire house because I cannot vent it to the outside, but this has never been a problem.  It does warm up the bathroom, yes, but provided I keep the door open, it's not a problem.  Here's the nifty part:  Because I can't vent it outside, I was worried I'd have dust and lint all over the bathroom and would need one of those water traps.  Well, this has never happened.  I took the door off of my bathroom's linen closet and set a little portable washer on the floor and this dryer on the middle shelf.  There was no place to vent it, so all I did was put an old stocking over the exhaust area and this has been my only lint trap, and it's always worked fine. In fact, I've only replaced that stocking once in 2 years.  It just doesn't put out that much lint or dust -- which amazes me because my full-size dryer did.  I make sure I clean the interior lint trap after every use and this little dryer has treated me very, very well.  It dries a complete set of sheets, and even heavy towels and jeans, and doesn't wrinkle them from being crammed in something too small.  Perfect buy for me.


JUST UPDATING THAT IT HAS NOW BEEN ABOUT 30 MONTHS OF DAILY USE AND NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER.

I have had this unit for over a year now and it's pretty darn good. It looks classy and it feels safe and soundly designed. It cleans up well, even when a sauce has spilled over and then 'congealed dry' onto the heating surface. It puts out enough heat for most anything except maybe stir fry. I 'slap' the convenient one-touch buttons a lot and none have burned out yet. Nice and solid.

I am an amateur though. I don't need fine point low to super low settings. A proper cook would, especially for simmering milk or cream. The way this is set up, there are 100, 300, 500, 700, 900, 1100, 1300, and 1500 watt settings. That 'seems' like plenty. Better would be 50-100-150-200-300 and then just a couple more for medium and high after that. But this is still a fine unit and I would buy another, at least for my needs.


Firstly, some of the reviewers said that the hood was "flimsy".  I was a little concerned about that.  It is not flimsy at all in my opinion.  It seems to be the same gauge material that was in my old one that I replaced and it was steel.  I was glad that I read the reviews because I did have a little difficulty with the knock out for the vent.  There was also a light leak in mine that I caulked shut as did the other reviewer.  Mine came packaged adequately and was undamaged.  There is nothing to installing it.  It is a good idea to have two people because it is a little difficult to hold it and screw in the screws by oneself.  The fan is a little loud at full speed, but as one reviewer said, they all are.  There are undoubtedly better hoods available but when one considers the whole package: stainless steel, variable speed fan, two settings on the light, looks great when installed and the price, I don't believe there is a better deal anywhere else.  I would recommend this hood to anyone.


I bought this for checking the temp and humidity in my attic.  Since I don't have access to a laboratory calibration system to check the accuracy I have to assume it is reading correctly.  I did try to adjust the temp based on another thermometer and it was not as "adjustable" as I thought it should be.  It did not allow for the precision that I thought it should based on it's price, and that is why I rated it 4 rather than 5 stars.  But the display is large and easy to read.  I do not plan to use the alert, I will check the readings periodically, since it is in the attic I would not hear the sounds anyway.  I also have not used the probe, I just keep it attached to the case, but it is a nice extra.  I will use it for a year or so, and if it continues to perform well, I will buy another for the basement to monitor the humidity in that area.


In less than a month the drum belt broke and the dryer stopped working. I'm a single person and so don't use the dryer frequently, maybe 2 loads a week. I was really surprised by this given the other great reviews.  I called the repair service and I got a call back one week later to schedule service of the dryer. The repair technician was very nice and said he is going to order the part but because this dryer is somewhat of a specialty appliance it takes several days to receive the part. He also said that it is very dangerous to use the appliance in this state. He explained that without the belt the dryer overheats and can cause a fire to occur. So, if this happens to you be sure to stop using the machine immediately and call the repair service. I asked the repairman whether this was common and he said that it's an inexpensive dryer, suggesting you get what you pay for.

If I could, I would just return the appliance and get something more expensive that is reliable. I worry about leaving clothes in this dryer to dry while I'm away from home in the event it happens again and causes a fire.


So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old:  reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol.  This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much.  You kids who think it won't happen to you?

It will.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

That said, the product works great.  Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget.  One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater.  My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum.  (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.)  He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this.  I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed.  He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went.  He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977  - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macram.

Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.


The fan fits and works and installed quickly.  My only complaint is that it is loud even at low speed, but I imagine the original did as well.  It moves air well.  For a little over $15 I was able to repair the vent hood in my kitchen that was broken when I moved in to my house, a much better prospect than buying a new hood.  Eventually I will redo my kitchen and will probably buy a better (quieter) hood and fan, but until then I am happy.  I read some reviews that said that they had to install this fan backwards to get it to work right.  I did not have this problem at all, but I also checked Broan's online parts manual and double-checked that I was ordering the correct part number for my hood's model number.  Only other thing I can think of to mention is that it didn't come with mounting screws, so make certain to save the ones when you remove the old/broken fan.


We've had this model for 7 years.  Will replace it with a CEE Tier-3 in a kitchen remodel because it doesn't appear to be energy-star, let alone CEE Tiers 1-3.  If energy efficiency is not an issue, it's been totally reliable, with plenty of room for pitchers of water, milk, OJ, soymilk, weekly supply of fresh veggies, and the weekly leftovers.  Lots of door storage.  Freezer handles pizza boxes easily.  I did remove all the clear plastic bins which I found constraining, so we've basically got three open shelves in the fridge where we find everything quickly.  I'd keep it if it were counter-depth, but it is 31 5/8 inches deep wi/out handle, 32 7/8 inches wide, & 66 7/8 high. The most efficient refrigerators on the market (side-by-sides) run $1400; better value to pay a bit more and get one of those.  The refrigerator is the most energy-consuming appliance in the kitchen.


I bought this item new from Amazon for $254 - and in my opinion, there's a reason this cooktop is much cheaper than almost all other cooktops with sealed burners.

In terms of appearance - it does look nice, with the sealed burners, stainless steel, and continuous grates.

However, I had a few issues with functionality.  The first thing I noticed was that the inner ring of the power burner would not consistently light.  Not matter how many ways I tried to light it, I only got the inner ring to light completely once.  So for the most part, the inner ring would just be releasing gas while the outer ring is burning.

The second thing I noticed is that the other burners - particularly the front simmer burner - do not reliably stay lit.  It's easy to ignite, but beyond that, they usually shut off as soon as the knob is turned from Light to High.  I've seen a few reviews on Amazon with similar experiences - and per the reply, I tried rotating the burner cap, but I still did not get consistent performance.

Bottom line - I see the power burner inner ring issue as a safety issue and an inconvenience, and I see the simmer burner issue as a major annoyance.  Yes, the price is low and it looks nice, but it is simply not reliable.


I am not at all impressed by this product. I sent the first one  back and will be returning this one as well. It has 5 heat settings from "C1 (melt/warm), C2 (simmer), C3 (boil) C4 (fry). and C5 (sear). I am a cook by trade so I know  that a learning curve is involved with new technology, but this unit does not perform well at all. It worked intermittently and was literally burning bacon and sausage on the C2 setting and occasionally boils on C1, I never tried the "sear" setting because I wasn't sure what would happen. I love the idea of this technology and will be purchasing another unit but from a different manufacturer. I will say that it is an attractive unit and is big enough to accommodate a 9 1/2' pan. I just wished it worked properly.
UPDATE: I will not be returning the second Nesco induction portable cook top as the shipping cost is prohibitive. I'll just use it as is


My continuous feed 3/4hp kitchenmaid garbage disposal was jammed and none of the suggestions I found online (I never did figure out how to do the broom one) worked.  I wasn't sure what happened since it was working when I went out of town and not when I got back. When I switched it on turned it made this humming sound, so it powered on, but nothing else happened.  I tried all kinds of things to get the blades or that bottom plate to move but nothing worked.

I was shopping for a new one when I saw this and decided that for the price, it was worth a try.  Whats another tool I don't use? I will just expand my collection.  It didn't occur to me until later that it was just meant for the insinkerator.  Even on the package it stated it was only for the insinkerator and a couple of other brands that did NOT include kitchenmaid.  But I opened it, searched for that opening where it's supposed to fit into under the disposal and there it was.  5 minutes and a few twists later, my garbage disposal is working once again.

Now what to do with those $300 bucks I was going to spend....?


I sent a review not being happy and received a reply back from customer service rep on 12/21/2007 I called back and still have not heard from company this is a copy of e-mail sent to me
Hello Antoinette,

I would like to thank you in advance for considering taking off the negative rating on Amazon.

I am really sorry about this and I want you to know that we are in middle of hiring a new customer service staff that has to go through a training process.

I still feel that I have to make this up to you; therefore I would like to refund your complete order. And also give you a 5% discount and free shipping on anything else you find on our website. Just call me directly and I will personally handle your request.

I need a little help from you please I do not like to beg but Amazon is on our case and it would really help me and the company if you were to remove the negative rating. I know I may not deserve the negative rating taken off. But is there anyway that you can do me this huge favor?
my answer was to call them and I left message I received wrong merchandise and would like my money back I had to purchase a new machine filter sent were not even close to the right ones. I gave them a chance to make it right but they did not. I am tired of playing games with these companies I just considered the loss.


On December 23rd, 2013 my six-month-old range developed a gas leak.  The gas company rep came within 15 minutes and announced the problem wasn't in the line.  A call to customer support at Kitchen Aid left me knowing that there would be no Christmas dinner at my house.  Now there hasn't been a New Year's dinner either and we're a week into 2014.  Kitchen Aid contracts with only three appliance repair shops in my area to provide service.  A technician came and announced that he would order parts.  There has been no follow up from either Kitchen Aid nor Integrity Appliance Repair.  I'm not a screamer, not a complainer, not one thinking that the world revolves around her.  I'm a retired teacher who knows you draw neither repeat customers nor new customers by treating them this way.  I just want my range to be fixed.  About Customer Service at Kitchen Aid?  They must take extra lessons in how to be rude and demeaning to customers.  Many other companies make kitchen ranges.  You don't want to deal with this one.


These things REALLY work!  I bought these based on all the positive reviews as a desperate attempt to find something that would stop our female tabby from throwing up 2-3 times a day, every time she ate.  I've been giving both our cats 3 a day (less than the "treament" amount but more than the "maintenance" amount), and in the past month, the tabby has thrown up maybe 2 or 3 times total.  Our boy cat, who had hairballs more rarely (maybe one every other week), hasn't had a single one since they started getting these.  And they absolutely LOVE them!  They're moist and chewy, and I've been able to train them both to sit up on their back feet on command for these treats.  I hadn't held out much hope for these since we'd already tried Petromalt and had switched them to expensive hairball formula cat food, but I was definitely surprised at how well they work.  Go for Subscribe & Save to save some money -- a box of 10 packs every 6 months is just about perfect, and if you wind up with too many, you can always skip or delay a shipment.


Purchased Whirlpool Duet Sport WFW8400te stack-able in 2009. Although no major repairs, I have had the following. Washer takes longer to operate than the digital indicator says. Extremely poor front door gasket design, leaks badly, water and suds all over a wide area, no obvious rips or tears . Have a wet vac and towels handy for that happy occurrence. Interior door gasket retains mold and suds and dirt, never really comes clean even after using the cleaning cycle. The machines electronics malfunction for no obvious reason, leaving water in the barrel and the door locked. Leaves the control panel inoperative. Spin and drain cycles operate poorly occasionally, needing repeated tries to remove the suds / water. Reduced detergent usage, HE laundry soap still results in excessive suds in washer. Drain hose from barrel connected to the pump slipped off, flooding. Cheap wire clamp replaced with a reliable band clamp. Might be water efficient and gives extended life on clothing. Poor return considering the price. Go with a top loader.


Although these vents look nice, it turns out they have at least two VERY major design flaws.

1) On any "windy" days with gusts much above 10mph, these vents make an awful racket as though somebody is banging on the side of your house with a baseball. I never experienced anything like this with the previous vents on the house.

2) During this past summer, a thunderstorm rolled through with ~35mph gusts.  I went into the backyard the following morning to discover that the hinge on one of the vent covers had broken off and blown into my yard. I figured this was just a fluke and bought a replacement vent. Fast forward to this past weekend when a winter storm came through with similar wind speeds, and a SECOND vent broke and blew off. The plastic hinges on which the vent cover pivots is a definite weak spot with how easily the covers are rattled around in any amount of wind.

UPDATE: well, it's official. All FOUR vent covers have broken within three years of installation.

Nov 2017 UPDATE: TWO of the replacement have broken. That's a total of SIX failures


Great design but it stops there ...Purchased September 2014 and delivered October 4, 2014.  The noise is incredible and runs mist of the time after looking at the instruction book about the "whirring sound" and thinking this is not an indoor whir I called GE Service.  After I was told it was normal with new energy efficient technology, I insisted a tech come.  He too said nothing is wrong.  That call was 6 weeks after delivery.  January 19 .. it stopped working and we lost all of our food. The Tech came out on January 20, 2015, plugged in his computer to the top and told my husband he was doing a new software fix.  He further explained GE only fixes the software when customers complain.  Looks like everyone else must keep their fingers crossed.  On February 19, the temperature went up to 61 and climbing.  Called for service and today tech number one came back and said it was a fan but didn't have a part.  So we here are with more lost food and making due eating take out.
Sadly, we thought we did much research before this purchase....DO NOT BUY this product.  I can only say we are beginning the fight with GE but after reading other reviews on a similar style not sure this is an easy battle.  Buyer beware.


Great little product, I was actually blowing out my plastic water filters, the last time the hammering blew out the filter housing which was a $50 part! Overall I recommend this product for protection of your refrigerator's parts and filter.  My only gripe was that it has two male connectors, making a simple pass through connection on the permanent plumbing connections difficult. So you can't just attach it to a Tee, for instance. So what I had to do was go out to the hardware store and get a pack of compression nuts and sleeves, (they don't sell just one).  I had to cut a small piece of tubing and then attach it to the Tee, then attach the tubing to the arrestor.  I then attached the original tubing to the arrestor. So all this could have been avoided with either an adapter or a male connector on one side & a female connector on the other. Oh, I also turned down the main flow into the house to lower the water pressure.


We have extremely hard water resulting in the constant buildup of lime deposits in the filtration system of our Bosch Dishwasher.  Accordingly, we have to clean the lime buildup (or scale) from the interior of the dishwasher to ensure proper and efficient functioning of our washer.  Descaling the washer is not a difficult process, save for the the tertiary mesh screen filter.  This filter usually contains a large portion of the lime buildup, and after 5 years of descaling, the filter simply fell apart.

We were fortunate to find the exact match of the tertiary mesh filter on Amazon... and for a good deal less than those on competitor websites.  There are a few caveats - this comes as an assembly with both the secondary and tertiary filters; we were unable to find an outlet for just the mesh filter.  Also, be careful you look for and buy the filter assembly that fits your Bosch dishwasher.  There are a few assemblies out there and they are not universal in size and shape. The upside of the fact that you have to buy an assembly is that you're all but guaranteed to have the secondary part if you ever need to replace that one, not to mention the delicate mesh filter will make it to your home or business intact.

...and YES, both filters we received were genuine Bosch Neff Parts and fit our DW like a glove.

So, after all that, what are you waiting for? Buy it today!


I like the overall product.  Nice finish, easy install, easy to mod for different setups.  The one and only thing I would reengineer would be the output at the top.
If this unit is used as a non-venting hood--meaning that the collected air does NOT get pumped outdoors, you will find yourself having to clean the cabinets above the hood more often.

The top vent blows the air toward the cabinets, instead of away from the cabinets.  I have not bothered to pull it back down and see if I can fabricate a duct change to redirect the air away from the cabinets, but it probably can be done.

The dual lights are very nice and provide ample light.  The 3 fan speeds are nice also but louder on speeds 2 and 3 than I expected.  Unit looks much better overall than many that are out there.

Oh, the price could come down a bit I guess, but it does go well with a black stove and wall "plate".
