I read all the negative reviews, and like you questioned it. But comparing to other fridges with lesser reviews I went ahead and purchased it. It was packaged tight, pretty heavy. Once unboxed and plugged in, I turned it on and waited. I followed the directions of allowing it to cool first, not filling with too much warm beers at first. I slowly filled it. The shelves are adjustable, I ended up removing 2 shelves leaving 3. The bottom shelf holds 22oz bottles perfectly, next shelf up is your typical 12oz bottles and the top shelf can hold either 12oz cans or 16oz cans... it can hold quite a few too. The beers get as cold as they would get in a actual fridge, I didn't have a temp gauge but I would say 40 degrees, maybe a tad colder. This is on the max setting which is fine. It cycles on every half hour which isn't bad. There is a switch inside the fridge that turns on the blue light that either leaves it on (all the time) or turns it off. I guess, older models the light came on when you opened it. This does not. I like it that way. The Blue light is really quite nice, almost a night light when its dark. I'm really happy with it. I hope it lasts.

This was a life saver....literally. My g/f bought a house and it came with a brand new dryer. The dryer was taking 2 hours to dry a regular load. After some investigating I discovered the previous owner had installed a booster fan within the dryer vent duct that was not rated for moisture. The fan died causing a massive clog of lent over the years leaving a dangerous fire hazard. After removing the dead fan this tool performed as expected and then some. It cleared the clog and cleaned every inch of the vent. Follow the instructions and you won't snap the rods at the joints. The shop vac attachment helps keep this job clean but I found it quite satisfying to see all the mess come flying out of the vent when I pulled the brush back. Just vacuum it up. ****HINT**** REINFORCE THE ROD JOINTS WITH ELECTRICAL OR DUCT TAPE. I was able to snake this tool through ducting with a sharper than 90 bend and still spin the tool with the drill.

We loved this ice maker, and it was wonderful even in our South Georgia heat when it worked, but it died after less than a year of use. (Actually, the "Add Water" indicator light was DOA, but we didn't mind, because the ice was plentiful....) Unfortunately, because I had snapped up a deal on Amazon but didn't give it as a birthday gift for another three months, it was just out of warranty based on my purchase date. Talked to NewAir customer service today, who were very friendly folks, but the best "offer" they could make us was more than the sale price on their website (sale price right now on their website with code LABORDAY is $123.47 with free shipping). Would I buy another NewAir to replace the one that died? Possibly, because this machine is amazing, but I'd make sure to buy an extended warranty with my purchase, and I'd be certain to report ANY issue you have with it immediately.

I remember my dad looking for a source of various filters (humidifier, dehumidifier, furnace, air conditioner, drinking water) for various appliances with increasing grimness. The appliance might still be in good shape, but the store that sold it went out of business, and nobody else carried the same line. Or the manufacturer made some minor tweaks to the design, which just happened to require a different filter, which just happened to make our unit obsolete. Or it would simply be sold out, and nobody knew exactly when more would arrive. Dad was a guy who worried, and finding replacement filters provided maybe 5% of his life's quota of worry. How he would have enjoyed Amazon. Exactly the right filter, often available from multiple manufacturers, cheap, and delivered within a few days. Searchable by appliance model number. Nice clear pictures. User reviews which point out obscure features and problems. Every time I order a filter from Amazon, I feel a little burst of thankfulness for the inventors of the Internet and to Jeff Bezos for bringing us Amazon. This particular filter isn't especially easy to install or well designed, but it's EXACTLY the filter I needed.

I really like my washer. It has issues but they don't outweigh the usefulness of the machine. I'm able to wash a load of towels (in 3 rounds), I'm able to wash all my undergarment at once, I'll soon wash a robe and pillow cases. I'm smart enough not to overload the machine with heavy garments at the same night. The wash is so quick, that you can wash 1 or 2 pairs of jeans at a time. The spin dryer is great. It really removes all the water out of the garment so you can wash out the remainder of the soak or put it out to dry. My machine came with a little piece broken on the side where the drain cord is located. I made my own hook, so that didn't disrupt my use. The drain works really well. It pumps out very quickly. My only issue that I can say that I deal with is that some of the time, the clothes in the washer balls up together. I usually loosen it with my hand or it does it itself. Other than that, I'm happy with my washer so far. I was given this product at a discounted price to review, I only review products I have used, know, like and trust.

Though it is only a little over three weeks since we installed the hood, I will not hesitate to say that we love the hood. It has a sleek, contemporary design. It has very powerful suction yet is noiseless. Thank goodness there is no more oil smoke or cooking smells in the house. The bright LED lamps allow for easy visibility into the cooking area. There are three different fan settings to choose from. I particularly love the delay setting that turns off the fan a few minutes after cooking is done to eliminate any residual smoke/smell. The filters are removable and can be washed in the dishwasher. The oil collection pan is sleek and integrated transparently with the unit. We did comparison shopping before deciding on this unit. Units from other manufacturers within the same speed, aesthetics, and functionality were costing substantially more. We were apprehensive about purchasing on line but am glad we did it. This is the best value for the the money and is one of the best purchase decisions we ever made.

This ice maker replaces the OEM perfectly. It took me less than 5 minutes to replace the original. The wiring harness that came with the kit was not for the UK-Kit (it is designed for the IM series). However, you can reuse the wiring harness from the old unit. After loosening two upper screws and removing the lower bracket, the unit slips in perfectly. Reattach the lower bracket, connect the cable, remount the unit and you are done! I would suggest filling the tray with water to hasten the freeze cycle along. Otherwise you have to wait a day for the ice maker to cycle by itself. It's been a week and the ice bin is full. My original ice maker was leaking water into the ice bin each time the ice tray was filled automatically. After 10 years of operation, the original unit was decomposing. The plastic liner was worn and the exposed soft metal was eaten away by corrosion and began a small leak.

I am very thankful that this repair kit is available, and that there were very helpful customer reviews to read before beginning the repair project. The instructions that come with the kit are nearly useless; I used youtube videos and the customer reviews here to help me. Also, other vendors of the part kit would not allow me to order it unless I agreed to have their service contractor install it for $300 or more. Best of all, the customer reviews helped me decide to not purchase the expensive press tool recommended with this part. I am an elementary school teacher whose experience is limited to having repaired several of my own home appliances, and I was able to get a good fit on the bearings and drive shaft by using PVC pipe in various sizes, the old parts, and some metal tubes we had around the house. Well worth the $80 or so I saved not buying that tool. The entire repair took me about 3 1/2 hours, and that included cleaning out the lint trap and scrubbing soap scum off the basket before I put it back in. I am assuming I did it right, because the machine is running and running quietly. I estimate that amazon.com saved me about $400 by offering this product and the customer reviews.

With a lot of tweaking I was able to keep the temperature freezer 3 to -7 and refrigerator 40 to 36, unless you open the door or put room temperature items in it or it defrosts and that's with the temperature control turned up to about 90% as cold as it will go! I use a wireless temperature system ( sensor in freezer and sensor in refrigerator read out display sticks to the door, it's a reliable system). My last refrigerator was an Amana that I used for 20 years, I'm 56 years old and I've never heard such noises come out of a refrigerator in my life! I know when your refrigerator breaks it can be traumatic but don't buy one in haste like I did!!! The shelves are somewhat flimsy and if I had not put the top one back together the right way the glass would have broken because there was no support in the corner! I'm just hoping that it's more dependable than it first appears. The freezer is large( although no light )and the refrigerator door holds gallons of milk and such things nicely. It Uses its height to compensate for the width and depth making it easier to get through doorways and fit in smaller places in the kitchen. I would not recommend it if you have careless kids as I think they would end up breaking some shelving components, especially in the door. I know when your refrigerator breaks it can be traumatic but don't buy one in haste like I did!!!

I admit my refrigerator is nearly 15 years old and when it stopped working, I went to buy another (over $1200). Described my problem to someone on a online site and based upon my description, they said ALL YOU NEED IS THIS PART! I took a chance for around $10, my refrigerator is now working great again! More specific, my refrigerator was freezing up, i.e. the coil was clogged with ice and wasn't sending cold air to the freezer or cold storage part of my refrigerator. This thermostat clips to a coil and sends a signal that heats the coil long enough to defrost the build-up of frost and ice, allowing the fan to blow air through the coil and into the freezer and cold storage areas to keep everything at proper temperature. For $10, I gambled and it worked! Thanks to online support and quick shipping, I am back to normal. SPECIAL NOTE: Part numbers change over time so the number on original part in my refrigerator had to be cross-referenced to the present part number. When looking online, different websites had both and/or either part number. I did my research and this was the BEST price by far. PRIME MEMBER so shipping was free. Sites that had the part cheaper, were more expensive once you added shipping costs into the total price.

I found the included accessories very useful and they fitted well into the ends of my dryer ducts. The vacuum accessory's spout fit well into the hose of my shop vac. The various pieces also fit together securely. This was my first time to cleaning dryer ducts, so I ordered this kit after reading the reviews. The only thing I wish the instructions had included were additional equipment and materials needed such as: A shop vac, an electric drill that accepts 3/8 inch bits, electrical tape for securing the screw joints between the rods. I also found 2 pairs of pliers useful for separating the rods during a session. I also wish the instructions had warned me about the rods twisting in loops if their length is outside of the dryer duct. But a simple hand hold to secure the rod and keep it from bending and twisting solved that problem. The electrical tape was prescribed in the instructions, but when I came to actually use the rods, it wasn't really necessary as the rods are threaded to tighten in the direction that the electric drill rotates. Also, adding electrical tape to each joint as the rods are pushed further in would also mean that the tape would have to be removed as the rods where pulled out. Other than that, the brush worked its way through the ducts smoothly, and I managed to clean two sets of dryer ducts in about 1.5 hours.

I don't normally leave reviews (yes, sorry, I read them a lot but and not the best at leaving them) but this is one of the best purchases I have made from Amazon. Why Whirlpool brands (e.g., Kenmore) don't use metal instead of plastic is beyond me. Bottom line: 1. Easy to install - took 20 minutes from start to finish 2. Metal instead of plastic - no plastic tabs to break (easily I might add) after the constant heating/cool down in the dishwasher. I expect the metal here to last much longer 3. Quality - seems so far (I just installed it last night) to be of great quality. Very solid and stable as you roll out the top rack - the plastic used to sag. Also seems durable and like I won't have to replace it every year, unlike the plastic parts. 4. Shipping - showed up 2 days before I expected it! Only con was with the instructions. They are very detailed, but the pictures are a bit fuzzy. You can figure it out though if you are handy at all. All you need to install is a flat head screwdriver (to take off the old parts) and a standard Phillips head screwdriver to install the new parts. Hope this helps!

Works great. I used it and an extension kit with extra rods to to clean a 21 foot long vent with a two right angle turns and it did a fantastic job with the adapter that lets you put the rod through and attach a shop vac. Got a TON of lint out, about a 5 gallon bucket full. Inside of the vent was left shiny and clean. Good for safety especially with such a long vent and to my surprise the dryer actually works quite a bit better now. On the auto cycle I used to have to run it again if I was drying heavy things like jeans or blankets/comforters etc... to fully dry things. Now it does it in one cycle and take about 25% less time to go through the auto dry cycle. I was just wanting to clean out a potential fire hazard but it really does make a big difference running through a dirty vent vs. a clean one. Might be due to the long length of my vent but very happy with this product.

My problem was my original ice maker started overfilling the tray causing overflow into freezer and inability to move ice out of the tray as it was a huge block. Item was delivered on time and fit my Jenn Aire perfectly. Install could have been performed by my cat in about 10 minutes...took me about 3 and Was making ice in about and hour. Make sure to push the wire into the unit firmly AND LOCKS. I found out the hard way after having it installed and then having to push it back in. As you can see from the photo this is our extra space/ice making fridge. I ripped out all of the dispenser unit and cosmetic plastic and replaced with a basket that holds about 20 pounds of ice for my coolers. This unit makes about 10 pounds a day and fills the entire basket in less than 48 hours, then dumped into cooler. UPDATE. After a week the ice making pace is a bit quicker than the original. Still working fine. Haven't noticed any paint chips etc. but then again not looking as it is for our coolers only.

I've had this unit fir about three months, and I'm so glad I bought it. This is a big machine and will not fit under a counter in the kitchen, so while it's an European design, it not tiny like those ones. The machine can wash & dry a normal (about 5 outfits) sized load in around 3 hours. Some things like towels come out feeling slightly damp, but dry within 5 min, or if you want them toasty, you can set the dry time for longer. This machine is a million times quieter than either of my old units; however, during the spin cycle it can be a bit loud. Balancing helps that, and the manual says you may have to add excess support to your floor of the shaking is too bad, but I don't think that it's a big deal and my floors have normal support. I've had no trouble with leaking; however, the unit does emit a bit of heat and humidity. I run it mostly at night so it doesn't matter, and a load during the day has only a small effect. The only con is cleaning out the lint which must be done after every load. It only takes a minute to wipe down the inside, but it's a bit of a pain. However, the convenience of the combo unit far out weighs the extra cleaning step.

The idea to purchase this hood came from a vist to Ikea. There is a similar hood there but with FREE 2 day shipping (Prime/Student) Amazon is my first choice if they have what I'm looking for. Broan products are basically ubiquitous being found in bathrooms and kitchens throughout the U.S. therefore I knew that the manufacturing of the item ought to be good. The unit met my expectation in this regard and then some. I had planned to vent through the wall however some of the framing and the location of the plug caused me to have to vent through the roof. If you're upgrading from a standard-style hood you may want to look carefully at what you may have to cut through to get this done, i.e. joists, rafters, ductwork. I found the paperwork inside the unit behind the grease screen after a little searching and it took about 3 hours to install, not including a trip to the store for steel duct, roof boot, etc... This is a good unit at this price, in my opinion.

Pros. Makes ice fast and it is flake style like it says.(BestPart) Decent looking. Some what easy install. Cons. Needs a door that seals ice melts extremely fast. Taller then under the counter so you can not put it in your exciting kitchen with the leveling legs unless you have 37" or higher counters. With out legs it will fit. Needed better description on the draining system. They should have mentioned needing to be plumed to a drain since the ice melts so fast. Not sure why I assumed it would seal like on a freezer door but it does not. I tried it with out with out pluming it to a drain first just to see how bad it would be. That was a bad idea don't try that lol! Use a tone thread seal very leaky. Update 3/24/2017 I spent $80 on a better smaller filtration system from Home Depot that doesn't leak and have not had one issue since!!! Ice is perfect every time.

Maybe I got a bad one, but this thing leaks like a sieve. I installed it on an existing roof, and I've installed similar vents before. The roof pitch is 6 in 12, so fairly steep. After installing I waited a day and then soaked the area using a hose. Water poured into the inside of the duct. This means that the flashing was good and I had properly flashed it to keep water from getting under the flange and around the duct hole. The problem is that the uphill seam on this are not soldered or sealed in any way. Water seeped in through the bottom seam along the uphill side, into a small gutter around the 6 inch vent, and then down the vent hole. I could not believe how poorly it was designed/manufactured. I didn't want to remove roofing and pull the nails, so I sealed the uphill seam with silicon and put a piece of aluminum flashing along the seam to protect the silicon. DO NOT BUY THIS. It isn't worth the hassle. There are plenty of other vents on the market that have sealed seams.

Been using the range for 4 months now, and it's been good. It does everything you'd expect a range to, and there are no issues so far. The dual-fuel and convection options are nice, I'd forgotten now great it is to bake with electric. The control panel does have a slight learning curve, but not too bad. Suggested improvements: 1. Make the buttons on the control panel to have more of a tactile response. The only way to know if you've pressed a button is if the display registers it. 2. Improved control on the stove gas controls. This range is far better than my old range, but half the output of the burner is "high" even though I would set this to medium. 3. Applies to the stainless steel finish only: Make the stainless steel finish on 3 sides. For this model it's only on the front. In my kitchen, the side of the range is exposed and it's a dark gray enameled steel. 4. The wifi connectivity isn't as great as the marketing makes it out to be. I need to press an "remote enable," button on the stove anytime I want to use my phone to start the oven. This means if I want to preheat the oven before I leave work, I have to remember to push the button before I leave in the morning. An inconvenience, but I imagine it's there as a safety requirement.

I have used these for years in my humidifiers. I guess they work. I guess I dong really have any evidence either way. I never have to actually change my water, so I guess that could be something good to say about them. I still have to clean out my humidifiers every so often due to buildups, guessing that is stuff in the water though. I so usually use these for 1.5-2 months total instead of just one month. Adding a gallon of water or more to each humidifier every day. I ordered the Amazon two pack, which is exactly what it says, 2. You get a total of two inserts. The wording on the three pack says 3 packages of 2. So Im wondering if you get 6 total, or if there is a typo. That is why I ordered the two pack, if it was 4 it was a awesome deal (two packs of two) but if it was just two inserts (which it was) it was still a decent value, but nothing to praise Amazon over. If someone knows of the 3 pack, please comment. I plan on ordering it in a month or so anyways, to see.

Do not buy!!!!! this product does not work properly at all. It is a serious fire hazard. My unit came with nothing to hook it up. I called the company and they told me to go to Home depot and get a part needed, but was not included in the package. I hooked it up and call them to make sure it was right. First, the burners flames a very low, even when on high. The spark ignitors only work consistently on two of the four burners. when during burner start up process, you have to hold the knob down for like ten seconds in order for it to stay on. Any less, the flame will go back out. Because the flames are so low, I have to switch pans when cooking multiple items i order to cook items at higher degrees. I have contacted the company and got no help. When trying to get the burner started, if you hold down the knob longer than 10 secs, it will send a flash flame that scares my teenagers. Because the company is not reachable, this item is a big disappointment and bust. DON'T WAS YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!

After many hours of research, we found the Avallon Build-In Beverage cooler, and it was a great buy, and beautiful addition to our kitchen. The refrigeration is more than cool enough to keep beer and wine cold. What is also wonderful about the Avallon, is that it is perfect for juices, soft drinks, milk, eggs, anything that requires cooling. The shelves can be removed to allow for taller items, or for party trays. We are very happy with our purchace. Our prior cooler was an Avanti, which, we owned for twelve years. The cooler died at year ten. It was sufficient, but was not cool enough, louder compressor, and had a solid door, which wasn't as attractive. The Avallon compressor is quiet. It vents in front as well. The only con is that the door must be shut well or it pops open. Be sure the door is shut, because it is unlike a heavier refrigerator door with stronger suction. We also like the lightening options; a continuous white, blue, or auto, lighting only when opening. We will recommend the Avallon to anyone seeking a quality beverage cooler.

I am extremely unhappy with this oven. The oven when turned on gets unbelievably hot both at the top of the range and on the front panel of the oven. I have had it melt thick Rubbermaid tupperware sitting anywhere on top of the stove, and the front panel is HOT to the touch. I was told by Frigidaire that it is normal that there is no insulation in the front door panel, and to keep children away from it. Try keeping small children away from that! This stove is dangerous! Also, do not leave anything on or near the range while baking. The worst part is Frigidaire thinks that this is acceptable performance. I also agree that having the broiler in the bottom drawer is not good. The drawer is difficult and awkward to open and close, which is not good when trying to broil, well, anything. I hate losing the storage from that drawer as well. The oven also bakes uneven. There is a hotspot in the back left, and frequently the oven cooks faster or slower than it should. Anything you cook in this oven has to be babysat, and I keep an oven thermometer in the oven because I do not trust its temperature reading, it's been inaccurate so many times. On the positive side, the range burners are ok. The Quick Boil burner does boil water quickly, and the grates are easy to throw in the dishwasher to clean.

I bought this item to replace a worn-out icemaker in our 14-year old Kenmore refrigerator. It had stopped making ice altogether, and my research pointed me to change this out first. The old icemaker's lining was pretty much gone, and information online indicated that caused the cubes to come out 'hollow', or not solid ice. It turned out the reason no ice was coming out at all was a water inlet valve failure; I bought one (also from Amazon), and between the two it resolved all our icemaking issues. All cubes are now solid and full-sized, just like new. Installation was relatively easy. The hardest part was maneuvering my hands to reach the attachment screws in the confines of the freezer space. Remember to unplug your fridge or turn off the appropriate circuit breaker before doing any work on an appliance such as this one. As with any repair job, proper tools are important. If you're having problems with your icemaker, be sure to look at both the icemaker and the water inlet valve--they work together to make your cubes.

I had an older, stainless steel/rubber stopper that never worked to keep the water from draining out -- you could hear it seeping out. That stopper went "missing" during a kitchen remodel. I spoke with an Insinkerator representative about some of the newer garbage disposals on the market -- if the stoppers really kept the water from leaking out of the sink. He said "no, none of the stoppers are designed to totally stopper the sink". I took a chance on this because of other favorable reviews, and I am glad I did! I put water in the sink and left it overnight with no discernable loss of water. So, I am keeping my older, working garbage disposal, ordered a replacement part for the mounting gasket, and am very happy to be able to use my sink as a stoppered sink! I have no idea how long it will continue to work, but the price is reasonable therefore, I am happy with the product.

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 bought this humidifier in late 2013 to add humidity to my guitar room. (This is an average sized remodeled bedroom with new carpet, insulation, sheetrock, and double pane windows.) It ran constantly and could rarely get the humidity above 35-40%. Almost immediately, the electric fan motor began to run roughly and make a rattling noise. Through no small miracle, one day I happened to be in the room when the fan motor just stopped and began to stink like hot electronics. I unplugged it and called the company. I will admit that they were very helpful and could not get me a replacement fast enough. However, the new humidifier is no more effective and has started making the same rattling noise. I'm afraid this one will get hot and stop as well. I've monitored and maintained the unit as instructed and replaced the filters as directed. If I could get my money back I would take it in an instant.

I had a washing machine hose burst once while no one was home. Fortunately, the machine is on the first floor of the house which does not have a basement and there was no damage. It could have been a disaster and these hoses are meant to prevent a flood. The biggest problem I had with these is the larger than normal ends of the hose that attaches to the water supply. I have a valve with a lever that goes up for off and down for on. The ends of this hose prevented the lever from fully going down to the on position and I had to struggle with it to get the end of the hose in just the right position. Just be aware that these may not work with your valve. Other than that, I had no problem with installation. However, these are more expensive than the normal rubber washing machine hoses and according to the directions they have to be replaced every five years. The regular washing machine hoses should also be replaced every five years. So why not just save some money and buy regular hoses? The only reason I can see is that these have an automatic shutoff built into the hose that will turn off the water supply if they burst. This alone can save a lot of damage, money and headache if a hose should burst. It is still recommended to turn off the water supply valves when the washing machine is not in use to relieve the pressure on the hoses.

I purchased the Whirlpool Cooktop Protectant 31463A twice on Amazon since I've owned my Maytag range. The first bottle was shaped with a long neck. I found it to glide on easily and kept the top smooth with a nice coating. The newest bottle I purchased has a shorter neck, but both have the same product number and information on the bottle. I have found the newer product is leaving streaks and does not go on well at all. I had some left in the older bottle and did a side-by-side comparison and the newer product is really lousy. I noticed the product color is slightly different and there is a different smell. I've tried it several times and I keep getting the same results -- streaks and it is not leaving the coating needed for protection. I am using a soft cloth and have even used paper towels (I've probably wasted one-half of a roll). I called Maytag and Whirlpool to ask if they changed the formula and got the run around. They sent me to a distributor who only wanted to sell me the same stuff. They didn't answer my question. This new one is not working at all for me. I liked it the way it was before.

The more that I use these refills, and or the filter itself that is already loaded with the granules, the more that I get the feeling that these things don't do a damn thing! For what they cost, I still get the white dust all over the place and I change these things every two weeks, with no results. This will be the last time that I purchase the refills or the filter itself, as my room looks the same with or without this thing, full of white dust and a hazy smoke color that lingers in the sunlight! Also, if you buy this refill kit for your filter case, be ready for your humidifier to shut down due to low water, as these kits cause the filter to plug up, not allowing your tank to completely drain. My humidifier will shut down from the low water alarm, though it still has 1/4 tank full of water in it. This does not happen if I buy the pre filled filters, it only happens when I fill my filter with the granules from this kit. It's annoying to say the least!!

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Whirlpool-8182119-Washer-Front-Seal/dp/B002ZNPA7I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Whirlpool 8182119 Washer Front Seal</a>I purchased my Whirlpool duet front-loading washer (model# GHW9250MW1) back in June of 2004. I recently noticed a number of holes in the washers door seal. After doing a lot of research I decided to take on the project myself instead of paying for a service call. The price I paid on Amazon was by far the cheapest I could find and it was a genuine Whirlpool part. Of course the information I collected in regards to installing the baffle made it look a little easier than it actually was but after all was said and done it took me just under 45 minutes and that included extra cleaning while the machine was apart. The best reference I can suggest is a YouTube video "Duet/HE3 Washer Door Boot Seal Replacement (part #8182119)". It steps you through the process with the basics. I would strongly recommend this product and I had no issues with the seller at all.

These covers are attractive, arrived quickly, and do a fine job of keeping crumbs and scraps out of the burners that I'm not using, which is what I was aiming for. (I'm not sure why a previous reviewer thought they would be useful to cover hot burners -- seems to me that covering a hot burner with a metal cover is just going to heat up the cover.) I'd suggest, however, that anyone thinking of buying these or other burner covers be more sensible than I was and measure your burners before ordering. The large covers are 9.75 inches in diameter and the small covers are 8 inches; sadly, the small covers proved to be too small for my stove. I'm still very pleased with the large ones, though. FIVE MONTHS LATER: The black coating started peeling off a couple months in and it's just getting worse. They look pretty awful. I'm keeping them until I can find better ones because they still keep crumbs and scraps out of the burners I'm not using, but I'd recommend you save your money and buy something else to start with.

I'm not one to get excited about home appliances but this dryer by Amana has me all twitterpated. After getting it hooked up I couldn't wait to use it. I had been using a dryer that I'm pretty sure came into style during the Eisenhower administration. My previous dryer took forever to dry, the clothes were always wrinkled, and it made loud thumping noises. I was in shock when my new Amana dryer quietly fired up and began instantly drying my clothes. It didn't take long at all for the first load to finish, and myclothes were almost perfectly pressed-looking. No more wrinkled T-shirts for me. I liked how the dryer occasionally started spinning again, albeit with no heat, until I removed my load. That kept the wrinkles from setting in. At 6.5 cubic feet, I was able to put a lot of wet clothes into it. It held almost twice as much as my previous dryer. I used a fabric sheet, and it made everything smell as if they had been drying outside on a Spring day. There was no burnt or moldy smell like my old dryer. I am just tickled pink with my new dryer, and now I plan on buying the washer to go with it. I like the modern styling of this dryer, and it coordinates well with everything in my utility room. I could not be happier with my Amana dryer. Definitely a 5-Star product.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! If I could give 0 stars I would. My mom has had a broken dishwasher for 11 weeks now because a GE repair man that was called for a detergent clog, broke our control panel on our GE Profile Dishwasher. So he got the part delivered to us. We had another service call cancelled 6 weeks later by the same GE repair company an hour before they were supposed to be here. Instead of sending someone new out they got the same guy to come out who didn't even knock on our door and left a "we missed you" note even through we took off of work for this repair call a 3rd time. I was sitting in the room with the door right next to me, with my 2 small dogs who would've definitely noticed a knock. Now; because it has been 11 weeks since the claim GE is saying these services are out of warrenty and are refusing to fix the machine that they have broken. Please spread the word on this... do not buy these products and do not spend your money on the warrenty because GE doesn't honor their wsrrenties. This extortion is not right.... General Electric won't even let my mom talk to a supervisor and they will not give her their real names. We will be returning the 5 appliances we have bought this year because of the lack of compassion this company has. Pick up an LG or Samsung instead. TRUST ME.

Wow, the problems with this machine! We bought an extended warranty, and thank goodness! In the 3 years we had a warranty, 3 times it needed service calls. And each of those instances required multiple visits from the repair company! And then once the warranty was up, started making those same awful noises again. Completely died this time, and it's more expensive to have a repairman come out than to buy a new dishwasher (got myself a cheap one this time, forget it). I'm shocked at how crappy this dishwasher was! I have had an LG refrigerator for 10 years, it's still perfect! We ripped the dishwasher apart to see what went wrong. The thing is designed horribly. Apparent leaks all over the bottom, and the part that is supposed to catch grease in the drain line had instead dripped it onto a resistor in the bottom, which showed signs of having burned. We got lucky our house didn't burn down. And on top of all that, when I got my new (cheap) dishwasher, I realized how badly this LG had been cleaning our dishes! Add in the fact that LG doesn't make a dishwasher in their Titanium finish (they only make the fridge in that, it's the touchless stainless look finish, it's fantastic), and I doubt I'd ever buy another LG dishwasher again.

These filters have changed. Organize the reviews under "most recent" and they're all one star!! I ordered the triple pack. I measured the water flow on the filter that had been installed for 12 months and got 0.5 gallon in 55 seconds. I figure over a year the filter gets full/blocked and slows down the rate of flow. Previously when I have installed a new filter the flow rate is noticeably faster. Not with this one! I installed this new filter, which had different labeling from the previous one, even though I re-ordered from the link of my previous order. The flow rate on this new filter is 66 seconds per 0.5 gallon, even after I ran two gallon through it first. I live in an area where the drinking water has no taste, so I cannot advise like many other users who complain that they are drinking tap water from this filter, with horrible taste. However, the substandard flow rate, and the number of recent negative one star reviews is reason enough for me to return my order, as I no longer have confidence in this filter.

I have nothing but great things to say about this Rotating Hot Air Styler because it takes all the hard work and need for multiple and different styles and blow dryers. I saw something similar to this product on TV several times but was never able to catch the info for ordering the INFINITPRO SPIN AIR BRUSH. I purchased this Hot Spin Air Brush to help cut down the need for multiple Styling Products like Blow- Dryers, Curling Iron, Straighteners as it gives you the task of doing your hair and keeping the bothersome needs for different styling products, and face it wouldn't you prefer the ease of styling your hair with one product versus 3-4 I do and the look you can get.with the same styles.as you would get with multiple products. I am tremendously satisfied with this great product of 1 product versus 3-4 of the others but another great feature is that it has 3 settings and the best part is the rotating feature you can use for that beautiful shine and polished look you expect from all your other hair care needs, so yes I recommend this INFINITPRO SPIN AIR BRUSH BY CONAIR, THE ONE GREAT COMPANY THAT GIVES YOU GREAT PRODUCTS TO SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY AND IS AFFORDABLE. I GIVE IT A 5 STARS AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED

Overall, I'm very happy with this washer. It's quiet, cleans a surprising amount of clothes, and leaves them more than dry enough to put on a drying rack without any fear of dripping. Two minor complaints: 1. It ties your clothes in knots! Something about the agitation process gets your clothes so tangled that they become knotted together. When it hits the spin cycle, each side of an item can end up on opposite sides of the tub and it's getting pulled and stretched apart. If I'm paying attention, I'll usually pause the machine before the last spin cycle and unknot some things just to try to prevent possible damage. 2. As addressed elsewhere, it becomes very destabilized if you try to wash a small load. Setting it to use a large amount of water helps, but that's not a great option. I mostly bought this to avoid hand washing exercise clothes several times a week. I ended up having to buy several extra sets anyway so that I can have something to use until I have enough laundry to do one large load.

Update 2: I receive a email and callback as promised by the Customer Service lady who took my information and promised to have someone call me back. The email stated that Ramblewood would honor their warranty and replace the cooktop. 5 days later I received and installed the new cooktop in the motorhome with no hassles or complaints. The only reason I don't rank this 5 stars is because the way you have to adjust the burner flame is by using a long shaft jewelers screwdriver inside the burner adjustment stem. Both the original and replacement cooktops required adjustment. Note to manufacturer: please redesign this by placing the adjustment along side the stem or include the screwdriver with the unit. Update: Called Ramblewood today to see if they will cover this under warranty. ***************************************************************************************************************************************** The glass top shattered while boiling water tonight. Good thing the surface around the burners is safety glass. Unfortunately the return window expired 2 days ago. Not happy.

The SPT UF-214W upright freezer fits our needs perfectly. Its foot print is small so it takes up a minimum of space. But it is just the right size on the inside to easily accommodate the overflow from our refridgerator/freezer. We are now able to stock up on more frozen goods at one time than before, thus cutting the number of visits to the store or online purchase site. More frozen food on hand, more choices for dinner. There is only one small complaint, but it did keep me from giving this freezer five stars. There should be an external light showing the machine is getting power. It runs so quietly I"m never sure if it is running or not. So, I keep opening the door from time-to-time to make sure it is keeping things cold. It always is and despite changes in the temperature around it on the outside, it is always holding steady at just below zero in the inside. It would be nice to have a light in the interior, but I'll give it a pass on that. We can live without it.

I have read a lot of bad reviews for this and I'm baffled that people think an entire brand of washers is bad because they had a bad experience. I have had my set for 3 years now. I have had no problems nor have I had to have a service done on the machine. Every electronic device can have problems. Nothing is perfect. That doesn't mean the manufacturer is bad or the line is bad. If you have a lot of laundry to do, like 4 or 5 loads a day because of a large family, chances are high that you'll blow the pump early because it's not a commercial machine. And even then, a large family would wear out a commercial machine before it's time. Myself, my husband and our roommate have all had to wash big and small loads over the years and it hasn't quit on us yet. We're all military and have to have our uniforms looking good. It gets military uniforms cleaned after being in the field or other dirty jobs. And my top loader couldn't. All I'm saying is that if you blow a tire on your car because it was bald, you don't blame the tire maker or the car maker. As for customer service, I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with that so I can't speak to it.

Stay away from Electrolux. I purchased a similar pair from the home depot back in 2011 and it has been a disaster. The pulley that drives the tub on the washer is not securely fastened to the shaft causing it to wobble and come loose during the spin cycle. Worse yet the pulley will actually cut into the tub of the washer causing water leakage inside the cabinet and corrosion on all the electrical components. The control board gets wet and could even short sparking a fire. I called Electrolux to repair my unit with one month left in the warranty. All they did was replace the pulley and belt but left the broken tub in place. Now this tub is leaking water all over the inside of the unit and into the pedestal drawer. Electrolux are thieves. Don't believe all those positive reviews on the site. They are false reviews posted by contractors hired by the company to try to fend off the evidence of the failure of their products in the market place. Stay way from Electrolux....you have been warned.

It is getting increasingly difficult to find a electric cooktop that is not a smooth top unit. My ancient cooktop quit working, so I bought and installed this one which my wife likes much better than the old one. We haven't noticed any more heat around the coil areas than the old unit had; yes, within an inch or two of the coil it is very hot, but I think that is to be expected. We haven't noticed any undue flexing of the unit. The knobs give a much wider range than our old stove that had pushbuttons, so can control the heat much better. It cleans up easy enough. Installation was pretty straight forward, other than some retrofitting that I had to do as the old unit was some odd size a little larger than this--not the fault of this unit. I imagine that someone halfway handy with tools and knowledgeable enough on electrical wiring could replace an existing cooktop in one to two hours. I think I did our install in about four hours and that was with making the counter hole smaller so the unit wouldn't fall through and a trip to the hardware store to get some wire nuts.

This is the second Nostalgia KRS-2100 Keg-O-Rator Refrigerated Beverage Keg Dispenser I orderdered and returned, first one I ordered was damaged on the inside at the factory and ths second one had a warped cabinet and I could only get two wheels to touch the floor (titer-toter effect). Saying all that; Amazon was all over it and took care of business,excellent support. All of this, taking them out of the boxes setting them up finding the damages repacking and sending them off takes alot of time, so Its been about a month and I have one on the way from another company (made in the USA) not china. My one request for Amazon is to seek out more made in America products and for the rest of you out there pay a little more get a better product and seek American made products its pretty obvious our government officials are just going to keep arguing and nothing ever gets done until the last minute, so lets bring America back up to glory one product at a time "Buy American". My family and my New Years resolution is to buy American,but you can't really find everything you (NEED) made here in the USA but we try our best not to buy anything made in china or one of the stans....afganistan, packistan etc.....other countrys are all right Japan, Korea, Mexico, Canada etc....look at your labels. Thanks

I just got it today. should work perfectly with trangia burner for which it was designed. very light weight even in the ss version. the wind screen fits in slots on the burner holder and is adjustable for wider pots and pans. kind of expensive for what it is, but there are no real economical choices unless you want to make one yourself. if you do, you will probably wish you had bought this one. buy good and cry once. update March 2014: this bad boy is now $15 less than i paid here. i assume the price will go up again when the weather warms up. this is an essential item for back packing with alcohol stoves. i should also note that Trangia is now making a very similar unit themselves. another comment: you can see this in action on YouTube. as he points out, your pot has to be wide enough to fit on the supports but not too wide to not fit inside the windscreen. if you are going to use something you already have or are getting at the same time, you might want to check first.

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.

We bought this washer at The Home Depot in 2009 and it has never really worked flawlessly. Initially, the machine would stall at minute 8 of the spin cycle. The repairman felt the loads might be too small??? My clothes never really felt fresh unless I used the longest cycle and added an extra rinse, which takes 72 minutes per load. There are only two of us so the machine was only gently used by one adult (me). Today it stopped working altogether. We got about two and a half years of use out of it because we only live part time here. That is unacceptable for a washing machine. They don't sell this model any more but I would still avoid Amana/Maytag. Rather than dump more money into this cheap washer, I purchased an LG today. I would have preferred a top loader but because I must stack due to space constraints, I was forced into another front loader. Hopefully this one will give me years of service, as they should.

After reading some of the lower rated reviews I was concerned that the product might be fragile or easily damaged. But, the parts are actually very well made. The instructions are very detailed and I was careful to follow them to avoid any broken rods or brushes. My dryer ductwork enters the wall on the second floor, immediately turns 90 degrees straight up, and exits at the the roof vent. I moved the dryer out of the way and cleaned the duct from inside the house. I used the vacuum adapter and it worked well. The 90 degree bend was no problem. I think the trick is to keep the speed slow, and with your drill clutch adjusted to prevent any overtorque in case the brush or rod gets stuck. The instructions are clear about this. I had no sticking problems. I ran the drill at about 200 rpm and worked the rod into the duct slowly. It probably took me 10 minutes to clean the entire 11-1/2" duct, including stopping to connect each rod. Great product.

I purchased this package after much research. Our dryer, GE model DBXR463ED1WW, began squealing/screaming/saying unspeakable things, and black marks were showing up in our clothes. Many articles of clothing were also found hanging inside the drier when done drying. This package contained everything needed to replace the inside upper plastic half circle that was breaking away, as well as the 4 drum slides (*****make sure you confirm on the directions, the green ones go on top, the white ones on the sides****). As soon as it was all put back together, the drier was as quite as when it was BRAND NEW. Literally, whispering. Not even rumbling!!! Also, with changing out the felt strip and vacuuming out the circular vent in the bottom of the door, the drier heated up so much more quickly, and our clothes are drying in 1/3 of the time it had been taking!! SO, we saved money by not buying a new drier, are saving money on not replacing the eaten pieces of clothing, and will be saving energy as things are drying quickly!!! And to top it all off, this part was delivered 2 days SOONER than expected!!!

The washing part is fine: fast, efficient. Then comes the rinse... You have to get the soapy water out and replace with rinse water. Must either: 1. insert rinse tube on bottem that opens a valve and gravity drain out or 2. open top and tip it out, holding back the clothes with your hand. The dirty water is inefficiently expelled either way, the clothes are still wet with dirty water. You're not spinning the dirty water off, just slowly draining. So, you want to do some extra rinsing. You remove the drain tube, open up the top, add fresh water, spin, then put the tube back on, drain it out, take the tube off, open the top, add more water, spin... Get it? It's splishy splashy annoying. Finally, you have to reach in and pull out the sopping wet clothes. Cannot spin the water off your clothes in the barrel. (There should be a short drain tube option to open up the drain valve and still let the barrel spin, so if you're outside you can just spin off the rinse water). I'm going to buy a bucket and breather plunger instead.

As so many other commentators have posted, the original filter thickness was 1.25 and now much of what is being offered at Amazon instead ships thinner filters (0.75) which are GROSSLY inferior See the difference at [ ... ]g and http://www.amazon.com/review/R3IT1HZIKZX5WY?ie=UTF8&videoPreplay=1 . Moreover, while some of the photos shown would (proportionally) appear to be the original thickness what Ive received from several retailers are the thinner filters. For a great discussion thread on this topic and instructions on how to buy the original filters (HAC-504OS, $12.99 ea) see http://www.amazon.com/review/R21QW3XX459H67/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000RDAORO&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful (scroll up to see the original comment by CTB.)

Used this motor to replace a Whirlpool 279787 Drive Motor. It is easy to unscrew the blower blade from the fan, just make sure you see how the threads go, then use a wrench or vice grips on your old motor to hold it in place. Gently unscrew the fan blade. This motor needs to understand to turn off if: the bent breaks, the door opens, or you get super high temps in the dryer. It does this ( in mine) by a blue control wire. This is the wire that goes into arm for the belt holder. As a quick and dirty fix, what did was i CUT the blue wire for the molex plug that goes into the motor about 6 inches away from where the plug is. This way if i was wrong, it was an easy fix. Then i hooked one end going from the controls into one arm of the arm for the belt. They other end coming from the belt arm went into the wire going into the molex plug that was going to the motor. Think of it as just extending that blue wire going from the cut 6 inches away from the molex, all they way through the system to the belt arm, the dryer door, and the high temp, before it goes to the motor. This way if any of the 3 safety items fail, the unit turns off. ( Door opening is consider a fail for this :P )

Most of the negative reviews complain that the unit will only last a couple of years and that it is very noisy. I bought my unit six or seven years ago and have had no problems that could not be fixed with a complete defrost l.e. turn it off for several hours. You have to defrost it a couple times a year. The unit makes a lot of ice very quickly. My unit works great and we get a lot of use out of it. Now for the noise. It is loud, very loud. If you plan on installing it in a room you live in look for another product. I installed mine in the laundry room so can't hear it. As long as you can install it behind a closed door you should not hear it. The unit is very easy to install if you have very basic plumbing skills. Installation kits are available at most home centers. You need a 110 volt grounded outlet nearby and a water source like a sink or toilet as far away as you want to run the water line. Not bad for the money.

I'm on my 4th Keg of Kona Brewery Longboard Lager now. I got the model with a stainless steel door with free shipping to Hawaii. That alone is a GOOD DEAL. One essential modification I made was to add a cooling tower unit built from standard Radio Shack parts consisting of a plastic project box, a small computer fan, some flex conduit, and an AC to DC plug running the power line thru the drain hole....works great chilling the tap tower. It takes a few days for the beer to get down to 36 degrees, but it eventually does. Set the regulator btwn 10 and 12 and then enjoy excellent draft beer. Oh and the other accessory I got was the delux beer line cleening kit which is necessary to use between kegs. On the down side, the 2.5 pound Co2 bottle could not be locally filled, so I had to purchase a pair of 5 pound Co2 bottles. The 5 pound bottle fits inside the Kegerator on the shelf in the back just fine. The rubber strap to hold the Co2 bottle in place is useless. I use a short rubber cargo strap. Dispite some of the negative reviews, this is a fine Kegerator that does what its designed to do, that being to give you consistent cold draft beer. I could not be happier with my new Nostalgia Kegerator!

I bought this item in October 2009. It makes very little ice at a time, and the ice tasted horrible for the first month, but at least it worked. It IS very heavy, and would NOT be portable. I contacted customer service about the taste of the ice and they were very helpful, but I found running the machine for that month got rid of the problem. In February the ice "pusher" broke off. It's held in place with a tiny plastic arm that I'm surprised didn't break sooner. Without it the bucket which holds the water to be frozen gets stuck after 2-3 loads of ice drop. I emailed them to ask if the part is available, and they said no. No repair has helped. Today (March 14th) the Start button has stopped working. The machine is now nothing more than an expensive, heavy, door-stopper. For the price I paid I expected at least 2-3 years of use out of it! I am beyond disappointed.

The exterior of this machine is elegant stainless steel and a beautiful addition to any kitchen. Unfortunately, if you ever want to crush ice, you will be in for a frustrating experience. The conical hopper on top invites you to dump in ice. Not so. The cubes will not fall through individually. Instead, you have drop ice in one cube at a time. The second time I used it, the machine jammed. I am handy with tools, so I removed the top and extracted a cube that had jammed the mechanism. One of the rotating blades that crushes the ice had bent over sideways and had jammed against a stationary bar. I had to completely disassemble the machine in order to clear the jam. I crushed another tray without incident. The next time, the machine jammed again, requiring complete disassembly. Now, it jams just about every time, but thus far, I've been able to clear the jam without disassembling the unit. I never bothered to permanently reattach the lid. I have to have access to the mechanism just about every time I use it. The motor is powerful and the gear mechanism appears sturdy enough, but the crushing blades needs to be more robust. I would not recommend this machine to anyone, under any circumstances.

I bought the entire GE cafe line for my remodel. This fridge came with peeling trim and loose drawers that close improperly from day one. It stopped cooling after two months. I think this model has a defect and dealing with GE customer service is a truly trying ordeal. They give you the old "we'll send a guy in a week between 8:00am- 5:00 pm, and only call you 30 min before they come" it's nightmare for people who work during normal hours. After having bought only GE appliances for ten years and two house remodels I'm done with the brand. Stay away if you want a working fridge UPDATE: 1 year later and it is functioning, but incredible loud. I had to take the back metal gating off the unit beacasue it was literally jammed against the compressor, which vibrated the entire casing. Very poor quality. GE quality is gone, avoid the brand as I should have done. go with LG or samsung to get a basic build quality one would expect from a 2500 dollar unit. i tried to return the unit but was denied that option by GE.

Shipping was prompt; I received the unit in just a few days. The installation took about 10 minutes and it is effectively removing the odor from my well water. It is easy to use; just make sure you are running cold water and pull out the pin on the faucet attachment, then, to stop push the pin in. When the water is on and the pin pulled out, it does leak a little water at the faucet connection. I don't see this as a problem since it does not leak when the water is turned off. At first, the unit dripped a little water after use. I just tipped it to pour out any residual water; after a few uses, it no longer dripped after use. From other reviews, I understand this is a one use unit. There are no replacement filters; the whole unit is replaced. With normal use, based on the manufactures specs, it should last a year. The unit came with multiple faucet fittings to accommodate various faucet types. The fitting on the unit worked fine with my faucet. It is portable and seems like it would work for travel purposes as well. All and all, I am happy with the unit; it is a quick and inexpensive fix for me.

Very handy! I have had it for about4-5 years. Operates best when... 1. small load in washing machine/ 2. wring dry with a spin dryer. 3. hang for a few hours. 4. give a shake. 5. Hang in dryer.. 6 .try 15 minutes high fan high heat.. If not enough go for 30 minutes.. / very dry..... ( hanging bar holds 4. I can use 5.. also hang from the shirt/clothes hanger.on either end..(one shirt hanger.. three items. 30 minutes. ) It also works beautifully for DRYEL dry cleaner.. hang dry cleaner bag with clothes inside by clothes pins onto a clothes hanger..----and go for 30 min. high fan and high heat... The digital buttons for power and timing require a precise push.. on it not near it.. .. (It is worth a little practice and work to avoid HAVING to do everything at the laundromat. It can be done within a reasonable time period if planned... )

I purchased this item a couple of years ago and have loved how it operates and it produces a lot of ice for my cooler during the day. I have never had a problem until, recently after a RV trip with our ice maker, it stopped working. I ended up founding that it must be the water pump. I contacted NewAir Support department and found their service to be excellent. When I received the pump, it wasn't the same as the one I took out of my Ice Machine. I called the Support department and the lady in that department was very sorry for the problem. She told me to take a picture of the old pump and a picture of the new one they sent and send it to her by e-mail. In the same day she was able to determine that my pump and been upgraded to a different one and she went to the technician's and they found one just like the one I took out. She immediately had the pump sent to me the same day with no charge to me. It's great to work with people like NewAir Support.to see that their customers were happen.

So far so good. Just installed it yesterday without fanfare or anomalies. Prep'd it by filling it with water. Ran a couple of gallons of water through it. I gave it four stars just because there's no emotion involved in a functional item for me.ers [2015-1121] Love the speed of delivery. Probably just too cheap to buy another before... no, I had a reason. When I bought my fridge, the place that sold the filters was far away and the filters were expensive. I've always been rather debt-ridden most of my working life and couldn't see parting with $80 (that's what the sales guy said they cost). So, when the filter needed a reset, I did it. And, when the flow slowed, I just let it. But, that wss then, and this is now. If you need one, buy it - no, not for health reasons... just 'cuz everyone who uses the dispenser will smile and giggle and say wonderful things to you, like, "How come you waited so long?"

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.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Range-Kleen-P119204X-Porcelain-GE-Drip-Pans-Set-Of-4-Containing-2-Units-P119-P120-Black/dp/B000FNKV2Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Range Kleen P119204X Porcelain GE Drip Pans Set Of 4 Containing 2 Units P119, P120, Black</a>

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.
