I researched a new dual fuel range for several weeks before finally deciding on this model. It was delivered on 3/2/11. There were several concerns from the get-go: 1)After shutting oven off, the fan stayed on for over three hours because the oven took forever to cool down. 2)The panel directly above the oven door is plastic and we could see some separation taking place because the plastic got so hot when oven was on. 3)The warming drawer didn't close completely so heat poured out of this area when oven was hot. 4)So much heat radiated from oven that it started melting the finish on adjacent cabinets. 5)After the fifth use of the oven, it quit heating up, never again going above 160 degrees. After six weeks and four different repairmen visits trying to figure out was was wrong with the unit, it was finally decided that the range was not repairable and I could return it to the store. Good news for me since it meant I could get this over-sized hot plate out of my kitchen! FYI: Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux. Per the repairmen that came out, they work on more Elec/Frig ranges than any other brand. Wished I had talked to them before buying this product. The only reason I give it two stars is because I really liked the appearance, stovetop, grates and controls.

I bought this item online (not from Amazon), and when I received it I could see that the packaging was a bit roughed up. It seemed that it might have been dropped on the front upper left corner, as it was subtly dented there and it difficult to open the door. Well, I decided to give it a whirl anyway, and after a few minutes, warm water started pouring out of the front panel! Oh noo! Well, that was the bad news, but here's the good news: The customer service rep at EdgeStar I spoke to was amazing! The rep was very quick, easy to talk to, and immediately determined that the water pump must have been damaged during shipment (no hold time either). In minutes I had a code to give to the company I purchased the unit from, so I called them up, gave them the code (no hold time either), and they instructed me to pack the unit back up and put it on the porch for UPS. The next day, UPS came to pick it up. Amazing! So, I'm pretty impressed with their service! I've lived overseas and was amazed that in many countries, this would be considered the absolute minimum in customer service. But as an American company, EdgeStar has completely exceeded my expectations, making me dream of a better tomorrow where things actually work, and if they don't someone takes responsibility and fixes it! Kudos EdgeStar!

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

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.

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

I love the all refrigerator, no freezer, style as mini-frig freezers are messy and don't work that well. The interior is high quality with solid, well designed door storage. The shelves are glass and fully adjustable. The bottom drawer is sturdy. I have the steel finish door which looks great. It fit exactly into the limited space, so the dimensions given are accurate. The fridge itself is a 5 star. I took one star away because the manual is a generic manual meant to cover many of the Danby fridges. The instructions for switching the side the door opens on is vague and doesn't AT ALL reflect what it takes to switch the door on this model. It is complicated and involves removing the top of the fridge to access and remove the door, and flipping it on the side to switch out the bottom hardware as well. All together there were 10 screws to remove and replace as well as the screw that adjusts one side of the fridge only (manual says there are 2 adjusting feet). I don't mind that it is complicated, it's the totally missing instructions on how to do it. Had to figure it out myself and then 3 of the screws would not screw back in place, so I had to find 3 slightly larger screws, and then it worked; if there were instructions I might not have run into this.

I find it very helpful to have a tool like this around. Not only for measuring ambient temperature and humidity, but also for things like seeing how well the A/C is doing either in my house or my cars. This can tell me if my refrigerant needs recharged. The tool is well made and seems fairly durable. It's not bulletproof, and a drop off a ladder or something would worry me, but I don't think I'll be using it in that fashion too much. It does come with a case, but it's a pretty cheap looking pleather/vinyl type of thing, and the instructions don't fit inside along with the tool. It's always sensing and adjusting in real-time, so it doesn't really "lock" onto any readings. You basically have to make a judgement call when you think it's stable. The temperature takes much longer to bring up to stable than the humidity. Going between wide variations in temp will require a few minutes for it to really adjust and stabilize. The humidity is better and usually stablizes in under a minute. I do wish it had a backlight, faster response time and a nicer case.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We have owned this dishwasher for over two years and have never had one single problem with it. We did buy it refurbished, so I feel like we got an even better deal given how incredible this thing works. The features are plentiful, however we usually just use Normal setting. Dishes come out clean. We use Finish tablet soap as well as Finish Rinse Aid. I am writing this review because I stumbled on this product here on Amazon and noticed the low rating. Baffled, I started reading and was disappointed to see so many people have had problems. I feel like our experience was different enough to warrant contributing to the opinions collected here. In 2010 many states banned the use of phosphates in consumer dishwashing detergent. This seems to have resulted in a mass of negative reviews on dishwashers, however in our case, despite being in a state that has banned phosphate, we continue to have excellent results with this dishwasher. We have also not had any electrical parts fail. We also own an LG gas range and it has been reliable and trustworthy as well.

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

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

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

My dryer seemed like it was taking a looooong time to run the Automatic cycle, and thought it might be a problem with the dryer's moisture sensor, or the vent was getting clogged. I haven't cleaned the 4" solid duct for my dryer vent in 20 years, so figured that could be part of the problem and start there. I wasn't sure how flexible the shaft would be to go through the elbows on my dryer's 12' of ductwork, but it handled a 90' turn with no problems. I did take the pipe apart at one elbow to make sure I got all the lint out. The supplied shaft extensions gave me plenty of length to do the job. Brush could be just a tad bigger to exert more "scrubbing " force to the inside walls of the pipe, but pulling it in and out with my drill running full speed was sufficient to do a good job unsticking all the lint...and it gave me a sort of fun satisfying feeling to really ream the pipe out! After getting all the lint vacuumed up and the ductwork reassembled, my dryer seems to take a LOT less time to dry a load of clothes :-) . Great, well made product and well worth it.

This filter literally BROKE MY FRIDGE. Water pump/ filter head no longer works. I installed this filter, heard a bunch of clunks and got 1/4 cup of water. I tried re-installing my old filter and that didn't fix it. Repairman says I need a new filter head/ pump, for several hundred dollars. Amazon says the manufacturer is responsible for problems their items cause and they don't have any liability, although they are selling the product through their site and the search function says this filter works for my model fridge. I have an email into the manufacturer so we'll see. *** This is an additional comment after having my fridge repaired and contacting the company about the problem. I did send them a receipt for $180 of labor to repair my fridge (the part was under warranty) and after some issues with paypal the company refunded the repair money in full. Please check if the filter you are removing has a circle or a square at the tip. If it's a circle, do not use this filter. The repair company told me, as well, that you should run the filter under your faucet for a minute or two to soak it, even though the directions do not say to do so. This may help with the pump issue.

Tried hard to make it work. The adapter was too small for the three-bolt mount used by my old Emerson disposal. When I finally got it in place, my new Waste King 2600 simply fell through the retaining ring. I had to return both the 2600 and the kit . . . with shipping charged to me. I needed the kit because I wanted to use my existing polished brass sink flange. Otherwise, I would have used the hardware supplied with the 2600, which looked as if it would work nicely. And, yes, I tried everything. I spoke with Waste King, viewed their videos and read their literature, so I'm confident I did what I was supposed to do. Problem was that the outside diameter of the part of the kit that mates with the existing three-bolt mount system was 82mm, while the outside diameter of my old Emerson was 89mm. The kit piece simply isn't large enough I went to Lowes, bought an Insinkerator, which is made by Emerson, and installed it with no problem.

We are very happy with this hood. I did some comparison shopping before buying it, looking at other hoods in showrooms, and decided to go with this hood due to the combination of design, number of positive reviews on Amazon, and the price point. Due to some reviews I was concerned installation would be difficult, so I hired an experienced electrician, who had no problem installing it. But looking at the manual and observing the process made me think that the hardest part was knowing exactly where to locate it on the wall, and cutting out the vent hole. Pros - as mentioned above, plus now that it is installed we find it draws well, and are pleased at how relatively quiet it is, especially compared to more expensive models I previewed before the purchase. I would also mention that one screen filter was slightly damaged in transit and Kitchen Bath Collection's customer service proved excellent, being courteous and responsive to our call and sending us a replacement. Cons - I will agree that the LED lighting emits an odd blueish color, but that is not a big concern to us.

If you are looking for a very quiet dishwasher, but don't have concern for if your dishes are actually cleaned this is for you. The Miele Futura Dimension is super quiet, you can't even tell it is on. And when it is done, you also won't really be able to tell if it has run from looking at your dishes & silverware. Because it doesn't do a very good job washing dishes. The finish & look is great, the loading is difficult, and the silverware draw thing is cumbersome to load, but you could also just put your silverware away dirty, or give them a quick rinse because that is basically what the dishwasher does. The long cycles are not a problem for us, as we only do dishes once a day, so having the machine running for such a long time isn't a big deal. In summary: Great quiet dishwasher, except it doesn't get dishes too clean. Everything else about it is really great.

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

Pros: -- So quiet you don't hear it even if you're in the same room. Having a Bosch is like getting another room in your house. -- Cleaning is amazing if you use the right detergent for your water and your water isn't too hard. Finish Tabs work extremely well for us. -- Efficiency is phenomenal. Uses extremely little water and electricity so over the life of the dishwasher it will save you a few bucks. Cons: -- You have to use good quality detergent. If your detergent is poor quality I think the problems are magnified in the Bosch because it uses so little water. -- Racks are odd and take some getting used to. They have good features but I like American style racks better. -- There is no dry cycle. So dishes (especially plastics) can be a little wet when you take them out. That, along with 2 hour cycles is the price you pay for ultra energy efficiency (the dishwasher only uses about $20 worth of electricity in a YEAR). Everyone should know: If you want ultra-quiet, the price you pay will be long cycles because the dishwasher is running at lower water pressure. The faster the dishwasher, the louder it is going to be. So I suppose speed versus noise is the tradeoff you should be aware of when you buy the dishwasher. If you want quiet Bosch is a great choice. Though there are other good choices as well.

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

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

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

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

I was skeptical ordering this product because I felt my dryer duct was so unique. I live on the second floor of a four-unit building, and my dryer duct travels under my floor 20' to get to the outside. On the outside, there's about a 15' drop to the ground. The ground is also sloped, so I can't put a ladder there without digging a platform. Plus, I don't even have a ladder to begin with. And so, I was going to have to clean my dryer duct just from the inside-out, using the 12' extension. I initially tried the wide-brush, but by the 19th foot, it got stuck. I then pulled it out, and changed the brush to the claw. When I snaked this through the duct, it punched all the way through! I went outside and I could see that the claw had taken a bird's nest with it! I then replaced the claw with the wide-brush, but again it got stuck. I finally cut the bristles on the wide brush by a third, and that finally went all the way through. Thanks Gardus, I'm glad I didn't have to pay some pricey technician just to get my dryer working in top shape again!

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

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

I installed this in a Kenmore stove. The part itself works well, and was a suitable replacement for the original heating element, which had infinite resistance (it was DEAD). The oven now preheats quickly and cook very evenly. I'm very pleased with the results. The contacts on the part were not the same width as the original element's. I placed the new element over the original and bent it so that it matched the angles of the original part's bends. I also adjusted the placement of the metal supports with pliers to more closely resemble the original's. When I first put it in, I then noticed that it was floating above the floor of the oven while being installed. I pulled it back out and adjusted the angle of the contacts by bending both sides downwards near the mounting points. I put the part back in and it fit perfectly after that. I will also note that the diameter of the new element is smaller than the old one's. This did not alter it's functionality, but the use of less material to make the replacement may be of concern to some.

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

JUST UPDATING THAT IT HAS NOW BEEN ABOUT 30 MONTHS OF DAILY USE AND NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER. I have had this unit for over a year now and it's pretty darn good. It looks classy and it feels safe and soundly designed. It cleans up well, even when a sauce has spilled over and then 'congealed dry' onto the heating surface. It puts out enough heat for most anything except maybe stir fry. I 'slap' the convenient one-touch buttons a lot and none have burned out yet. Nice and solid. I am an amateur though. I don't need fine point low to super low settings. A proper cook would, especially for simmering milk or cream. The way this is set up, there are 100, 300, 500, 700, 900, 1100, 1300, and 1500 watt settings. That 'seems' like plenty. Better would be 50-100-150-200-300 and then just a couple more for medium and high after that. But this is still a fine unit and I would buy another, at least for my needs.

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

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

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

So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old: reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol. This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much. You kids who think it won't happen to you? It will. Sorry to burst your bubble. That said, the product works great. Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget. One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater. My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum. (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.) He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this. I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed. He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went. He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977 - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macram. Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.

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

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

I bought this item new from Amazon for $254 - and in my opinion, there's a reason this cooktop is much cheaper than almost all other cooktops with sealed burners. In terms of appearance - it does look nice, with the sealed burners, stainless steel, and continuous grates. However, I had a few issues with functionality. The first thing I noticed was that the inner ring of the power burner would not consistently light. Not matter how many ways I tried to light it, I only got the inner ring to light completely once. So for the most part, the inner ring would just be releasing gas while the outer ring is burning. The second thing I noticed is that the other burners - particularly the front simmer burner - do not reliably stay lit. It's easy to ignite, but beyond that, they usually shut off as soon as the knob is turned from Light to High. I've seen a few reviews on Amazon with similar experiences - and per the reply, I tried rotating the burner cap, but I still did not get consistent performance. Bottom line - I see the power burner inner ring issue as a safety issue and an inconvenience, and I see the simmer burner issue as a major annoyance. Yes, the price is low and it looks nice, but it is simply not reliable.

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

My continuous feed 3/4hp kitchenmaid garbage disposal was jammed and none of the suggestions I found online (I never did figure out how to do the broom one) worked. I wasn't sure what happened since it was working when I went out of town and not when I got back. When I switched it on turned it made this humming sound, so it powered on, but nothing else happened. I tried all kinds of things to get the blades or that bottom plate to move but nothing worked. I was shopping for a new one when I saw this and decided that for the price, it was worth a try. Whats another tool I don't use? I will just expand my collection. It didn't occur to me until later that it was just meant for the insinkerator. Even on the package it stated it was only for the insinkerator and a couple of other brands that did NOT include kitchenmaid. But I opened it, searched for that opening where it's supposed to fit into under the disposal and there it was. 5 minutes and a few twists later, my garbage disposal is working once again. Now what to do with those $300 bucks I was going to spend....?

I sent a review not being happy and received a reply back from customer service rep on 12/21/2007 I called back and still have not heard from company this is a copy of e-mail sent to me Hello Antoinette, I would like to thank you in advance for considering taking off the negative rating on Amazon. I am really sorry about this and I want you to know that we are in middle of hiring a new customer service staff that has to go through a training process. I still feel that I have to make this up to you; therefore I would like to refund your complete order. And also give you a 5% discount and free shipping on anything else you find on our website. Just call me directly and I will personally handle your request. I need a little help from you please I do not like to beg but Amazon is on our case and it would really help me and the company if you were to remove the negative rating. I know I may not deserve the negative rating taken off. But is there anyway that you can do me this huge favor? my answer was to call them and I left message I received wrong merchandise and would like my money back I had to purchase a new machine filter sent were not even close to the right ones. I gave them a chance to make it right but they did not. I am tired of playing games with these companies I just considered the loss.

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

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

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

Although these vents look nice, it turns out they have at least two VERY major design flaws. 1) On any "windy" days with gusts much above 10mph, these vents make an awful racket as though somebody is banging on the side of your house with a baseball. I never experienced anything like this with the previous vents on the house. 2) During this past summer, a thunderstorm rolled through with ~35mph gusts. I went into the backyard the following morning to discover that the hinge on one of the vent covers had broken off and blown into my yard. I figured this was just a fluke and bought a replacement vent. Fast forward to this past weekend when a winter storm came through with similar wind speeds, and a SECOND vent broke and blew off. The plastic hinges on which the vent cover pivots is a definite weak spot with how easily the covers are rattled around in any amount of wind. UPDATE: well, it's official. All FOUR vent covers have broken within three years of installation. Nov 2017 UPDATE: TWO of the replacement have broken. That's a total of SIX failures

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

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

We have extremely hard water resulting in the constant buildup of lime deposits in the filtration system of our Bosch Dishwasher. Accordingly, we have to clean the lime buildup (or scale) from the interior of the dishwasher to ensure proper and efficient functioning of our washer. Descaling the washer is not a difficult process, save for the the tertiary mesh screen filter. This filter usually contains a large portion of the lime buildup, and after 5 years of descaling, the filter simply fell apart. We were fortunate to find the exact match of the tertiary mesh filter on Amazon... and for a good deal less than those on competitor websites. There are a few caveats - this comes as an assembly with both the secondary and tertiary filters; we were unable to find an outlet for just the mesh filter. Also, be careful you look for and buy the filter assembly that fits your Bosch dishwasher. There are a few assemblies out there and they are not universal in size and shape. The upside of the fact that you have to buy an assembly is that you're all but guaranteed to have the secondary part if you ever need to replace that one, not to mention the delicate mesh filter will make it to your home or business intact. ...and YES, both filters we received were genuine Bosch Neff Parts and fit our DW like a glove. So, after all that, what are you waiting for? Buy it today!

I like the overall product. Nice finish, easy install, easy to mod for different setups. The one and only thing I would reengineer would be the output at the top. If this unit is used as a non-venting hood--meaning that the collected air does NOT get pumped outdoors, you will find yourself having to clean the cabinets above the hood more often. The top vent blows the air toward the cabinets, instead of away from the cabinets. I have not bothered to pull it back down and see if I can fabricate a duct change to redirect the air away from the cabinets, but it probably can be done. The dual lights are very nice and provide ample light. The 3 fan speeds are nice also but louder on speeds 2 and 3 than I expected. Unit looks much better overall than many that are out there. Oh, the price could come down a bit I guess, but it does go well with a black stove and wall "plate".

Like with all major purchases, I researched the heck out of this machine and its competitors. My biggest issue is the fact that I'm in a condo in a busy metro area, and there is simply no room for a full-sized washer (much to my chagrin). I'd been using the original washer and dryer that came with the unit--which was built in 1989! I will say, to Whirlpool's credit, that both were still working great; it was just time to upgrade to something cleaner and more energy efficient, and hopefully with larger capacity. This machine really fits the bill. My laundry comes out smelling much more fresh and simply feels cleaner. I've followed the advice of other front-load owners and left the door and soap dispenser open after wash cycles to allow them air-dry, and have had no issues with the foul smell (probably mildew) that other owners have complained of with this type of unit. Its incredibly quiet, which in a small condo is a big deal! The wash cycle is fairly long (circa 1 hour), but that's not been an issue. The only thing I can't do is wash my comforters; I still have to take them to a friend's house, but I have yet to find a 24" washer that *can* handle an item that large. Highly recommended!

Genuine GE filters cost about $40. These filters cost less than half that. Well apparently you really do get what you pay for. When I first installed the filter I flushed the system like you're supposed to. The first few cups of water came out loaded with black soot. This was probably just dust from the filter, but the name-brand replacement filters I usually get have never done this. After flushing the system by drawing a few gallons of water through my water dispenser the black is gone, and the water is almost crystal clear. Almost. But as clear as the water is looking now, unfiltered water I draw directly from my kitchen faucet is cleaner looking. I don't know what's causing slight tint in the water but I'm not drinking it to find out. Oh well, lesson learned. I'm going to my local home improvement store right now to get a real filter, and I won't be ordering this brand again. Ever.

To avoid that extra trip to the hardware store: For my range you need a 7mm nut driver (NOT supplied), another review mentions 5mm. 1/4" and 5/16" drivers are too small and too large. My range needed a 3/16" ratchet socket (1/4" socket set should have it) for the burner screws, a nut driver might do. Screwdrivers including about a 1/8" straight blade that fits in a small tube (not flared out near the tip, can grind one down) for the burner idle adjustments (pull the control knobs off & look down the hollow shafts). I have a gas manifold pressure gauge and will use it, probably not needed. Just follow directions to convert the regulator, typically by unscrewing and flipping a piece over. A flashlight, piece of baling wire, tape, inspection mirror and fine needle-nose pliers might come in handy to recover a dropped orifice. Please see other reviews for more details; I particularly liked the tips in K. Ferrara's review.

Installed range hood in my open concept home, and immediately see/smell the difference!!! Now the open concept kitchen/living room makes great sense :) I had a little challenge b/c there was no clear opening to the roof, so I had to improvise with ceiling beam and insert oval duct pipe. Also, my high ceiling on angle, thus also had to improvise around the beam and ceiling's angle. In addition I used 6in-to-7in reducer and 7in duct pipe with 7in roof cap to increase upward flow. I decided to make hood as efficient as possible, since it is installed for a long time. One small minus: the little aluminum flapping wings that come with the hood get extremely noisy at high speeds. So, I removed them b/c the roof cap has gravity damper flap included. Of course the hood makes noise, but unlike the microwave, it actually sucks out the smell. All-in-all, very satisfied with the purchase. Hood looks and works great!

Well I really like the hood. Simple one push on or off buttons, push the speed you want and it comes on at that speed. Push off and it's off! Some I looked stat a big box store took 4 pushes of the fan button to go from off to high! First push just seems to wake up the circuit board and light the buttons. Second push turns fan on low, 3rd to med, 4th push to high. From low to off required three pushes. Stupid! The filters look very well made. They have latches to release them that work really well and aren't just spring loaded friction fit with plastic pull tabs like most other hoods. It's not quite but not too loud either. I don't mind it at all. The fan runs smooth and vibration / rattle free. The fan is metal, and I noticed a balancing weight clipped on it. There is very little plastic in this hood. Mostly the wire junction boxes. The light has only one light level and they do put out some heat. I did seal the damper and duct when installing. But... My copy had an issue with the exhaust plate and the wire knockout holes. They were not fully punched when made, making removal much more difficult than it should have been. Also the hood was almost 1/2 inch smaller than my exactly 30" cabinet leaving a gap on either side.

I ordered these filters to save money as compared with OEM filters, and the result was proving the old saw, "You get what you pay for." Installation was a snap, so I thought all was good. When I discovered the "change filter" notice kept showing up, I let it go a couple of days thinking/hoping it might just take a little time to recognize the filter. So, I tried another of the filters and got the same result. I had gotten an email from the supplier soon after my order was placed that thanked me and assured me they wanted me to be satisfied with my purchase. So, after the issue arose, I responded advising them of it and asking for any suggestions for resolution. Several business days have passed with no response from them, so I can only presume there was no sincerity in their assurances of satisfaction. The filters are now in the process of being returned to Amazon for refund, and I would have rated one star for the whole experience, but "hate" is a word I try not to use.

A simple google search of best college microwave brought this model up and I bought it considering its reasonable price and its adherence to my dorm's wattage specifications. I have had 0 problems and all my food heats up really well. It has mainly been used to heat up popcorn and Panda Express leftovers as well as the homemade instant coffee. No problems so far and I hope that it stays that way. A plus is that the black and sliver model remains low profile and sleek at the same time unlike many white boxes for microwaves that are out there. Just what I was looking for. I only use the microwave for making my tea and warming up leftovers and vegables. I used to have a white microwave in my kitchen, most of the appliances in my kitchen are black and the old microwave I had just looked out of place. It also began to have problems. I knew it would not be too much longer before I needed to replace that thing. I found the Danby microwave for a very nice value. The microwave works very well it is easy to clean and I am very happy with it.

I had an issue receiving one of these vents that was not damaged or defective. I returned three of them back to Amazon before giving up. The way the product is packaged is really shoddy. Each package was also packaged a little differently. The first one I ordered and received had an electrical problem. The light was randomly turning on and off after it was installed on my wall and the light button was getting stuck, so I returned it for a replacement. The second one I received had a damaged fan blade so when the blower was turned on it made a horrible noise. I sent that one back as well for a replacement (I'm an optimistic person.). I was hoping to receive one that wasn't defective, however I disappointingly received one that was damaged. There was a huge dent in the side. I didn't bother testing it to see if it was defective. I feel like I've wasted a lot of time and energy with this whole ordeal. I really question the quality of this product even though it looks nice. The price seems a little too good to be true. The company needs better quality assurance/checking. I'll be buying a hood vent somewhere else.

Cleans the dishes - what few of them you can fit into it that is.....and that's the extent of the 'PROS' The CONS - The racks on this washer SUCK! I'd be more polite but it's the truth - they REALLY SUCK. Unless you have a lot of small, completely flat plates and never use bowls - this is NOT the washer for you. The other issue is the bottom drawer, which essentially CANNOT be rolled out without it jumping the tracks and getting bunged up. How a big company like Bosch could get something SOOOOOOO simple and basic SOOOOOOO wrong is beyond me but take my advice - AVOID THIS POORLY DESIGNED PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT. My last washer was a Bosch and it was great - why they messed with a good thing is beyond me but I'm here to tell you - they've jumped the shark. UPDATE - Dropping to 1 star.......I've been living with this thing now for nearly 2 years.....it is infuriatingly, stunningly moronic in design and I curse it every single day. That is all!

The Evaporator Motor does not come with a thermistor (temperature sensor) connected to the molex connector of this motor (my refrigerator model # is GSL25JFPEBS). Due to this the old and new motor and sensor have to be cut and connected unless you have a molex remover tool which will cost you more money. Also keep in mind you have to purchase the thermistor (temperature sensor) separately if you can't remove it without damaging it. Also the wires of this motor were put into the blue rubber shoe that goes over the wires and into the connector wrong which will not allow them to go into the connector especially with the thermistor connected into it. My advice do what I did and buy a used motor that has the thermistor connected to it I found one on Ebay for $18 and it was "plug and play" easy to install and my fridge is working properly now search for the same original model # of the evaporator motor which is WR60X10043. Don't waste your time contacting GE (General Electric) either as they also don't have the motor with the thermistor connected to it. Go figure. One last piece of advice unless you know for sure your evaporator motor is bad look up on Youtube how to do a diagnostic test on GE evaporator motors which saved me from purchasing the wrong part (condenser motor) instead of an evaporator motor which is what I actually needed.

I tested this against a good scientific wet-dry bulb sling psychrometer, which I believe is as accurate as you can get. I confirmed that the temp readings of both devices agreed within 1 degree. It was impossible to compare the humidity readings of both to scientific accuracy because I was in a small room with the climate control running and thus there were both temp and humidity gradients happening in the room and there was no way to be sure the GSI device was "breathing exactly the same air" (so to speak) as the sling psychrometer (which much be physically spun around and creates it's own turbulence/air mixing). But I tested both several times and there was enough overlap of readings to make me think the GSI device is likely within spec per relative humidity readings. One could do a salt test to find out just how accurate it is but for my purposes it's good enough. If it does what it's supposed to do (it appears to) and lasts a long time (remains to be seen), what makes this item a big winner to me is the low price. I've wanted one for a long time but always held off because they're usually a lot more expensive.

It's only been one day, but I really like these refrigerator/freezer bulbs. They give off a nice bright white light with very little of the 'blue' tint that many Daylight LED bulbs have.. and they give off almost NO heat whatsoever. They are just slightly larger in than an incandescent A15 appliance bulb, but I didn't have any problems fitting them within the plastic light cover in my Kenmore Trio fridge. The drawback... they are expensive!! In fact, I almost went with a cheaper LED appliance-sized bulb, but I decided not to take the chance since they would be used in a damp environment. Right now, these GE bulbs appear to be one of a very few LED bulbs that are specifically rated for use in a refrigerator/freezer, which obviously allows them to charge more. Hopefully the price will come down as more brands start offering this type of LED bulb. Assuming they actually live up to their life expectancy, they will be worth the cost. I'm actually getting ready to order another one to replace the bulb in my freezer too.

Packaging: 5 stars. Box inside a box with styrofoam. Packed very well. Setup: 5 stars. Remove tape from ice basket and plug it in. Ice Making Speed: 5 stars. This unit pumps out 9 small ice cubes every 8 minutes or so. Good value for price. Ice Quality: 4 stars. We made the ice in our home at 74 degrees. Cubes were a bit wet and a little soft despite being made in an optimal air conditioned setting. What I wish it had: I wish they put a small hanger or magnet for the scooper. I rigged up a tiny command hook right above the product name. 1 month update: consistently drops 9 ice cubes every 8 minutes. Perfect for small parties if you start full. I really like this unit. Great value for the money. Perfect for a small dinner party--say 4-6 adults. Fill it in the morning and run it. Empty into an ice bucket at party time and refill with water to run during party--you won't run out of ice! I paid full price and get/got zero for this review.

Certainly an interesting replacement part for the water tank assembly for my Kenmore Elite 79575543401. It seems to be a great part...very flexible hose rated at 165 psi. The only problem I had was that this hose is 1/4" and all the literature I can find says that it's a direct replacement for a water tank with 5/16" plugs which connect to two John Guest fittings. Therefore, I had two choices - buy a piece of 5/16" hose and two John Guest fittings to get everything sized up properly; or just buy a 5/16" hose and return this part. I chose the latter...fewer connections and less hassle....and ultimately less costly. Therefore I sent this one back. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a great product. Delivery was also quick and like the other reviews, the price was right. The only comment I left for the vendor was to include the size of the hose in their description. They claimed they didn't have any say over the wording in the descriptions. I think I'd check my relationship with Amazon if they won't let me include my own description with parts that I'm selling.

My original ice maker in a still going GE refrig lasted about fifteen years. I don't expect this one to last one year. The unit is flimsy plastic. It did not mount 90 deg to the side wall. I had to prop it with an approx 1/4 thick shim along the bottom. It jammed once and I cleared it by removing the unejected ice, It jammed again but this time it ultimately cleared itself. The instructions say you cannot use the ejector it comes with, but must swap in the ejector from your original unit. Not possible in my case since this unit makes seven cubes and my original made eight. The lengths of the ejectors are different. The unit is not a direct replacement. I expect it will jam again soon and when it does I will send it back. I will replace it with one of the more expensive units. (Incidently, one that makes eight cubes at once.) I would not recommend this ice maker to anyone. There are better ones available which cost more, but are probably better values..

We bought the whole set of GE cafe appliances for our new high-end kitchen. The set looks pretty good, but the performance of the stove (dual fuel) is really bad. From the beginning, the flames in the middle burner where so small, we couldn't use it at all. Then, the first knob broke. As it showed up, the inside of the knob is made out of plastic and cracks easily (the other three knobs died later on). One new knob costs close to $50 Dollars and is not even well made! Now, six years later, two of the gas valves broke and the repair ( including the replacement of 4 broken knobs) will cost over 450 Dollars!. We decided to repair the stove instead of buying a new one because of the high price. Imagine this bad product, made in Mexico, costing close to $3, 000!!! Who can afford buying a new stove every six years? Before, stoves lasted 50 years until you wanted to replace them for a newer model. Not any more...

Run, run, run as fast as you can from any GE Profile products. We bought four brand new appliances (stove, dishwasher, microwave, and worst of all the french door refrigerator) 3 years ago and have had trouble with all of them. The french door fridge stops cooling and we have had to have it repaired at least 3 times; each time having to pay several hundred dollars. This is after we have had to throw away tons of food, stash food in the snow outside (can only do in the winter months), have stuff melt all over, and borrow space from friends' and family fridges. The dishwasher is just as bad although I don't think it really was intended to wash dishes (you must pre-wash everything, which defeats the purpose of energy efficiency). Even when the fridge is working, it never seems to stay cool enough. I have filed a complaint with BBB. Please, do your research online for yourself. This is a common theme with GE Profile refrigerators. I have contacted their customer service and their suggestion was to buy a new appliance with the discount they will offer. Umm, no thanks, GE.

The box was busted with a HUGE hole in it. Unsurprisingly, when I opened it there were cracks and broken pieces all over; primarily in and around the washer. If it were just a crack or two I might just deal with it, but it was busted in at least 6 places. The top to the washer was popped off and broken. I was able to get it back on but only because the plastic pieces connecting it to the rest of the machine were broken as well. It's also got cracks on the inside, which you can see in my video. ***Ill update my review based on how they handle this situation.***

Bought this washer 11-26-12, great sale at HH Gregg. After two years, even though it is still in perfect working condition, we just got rid of it, literally gave it away. Today we replaced it with a Samsung front loader. I have no doubt of its energy efficiency. It was also quiet and mostly vibration free. Super high spin cycle meant the dryer didn't have to work as hard...Why did we part ways with it?? IT BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR CLOTHES!!!!!!!!! Every time we used it, all of the clothes looked as if they were hand-braided. They were convoluted, braided, wrinkled, stretched-out messes. VERY hard on clothes. And, unless we put EVERY cycle on "BULKY" to give it more water, the clothes would come out half-clean. Even on this setting, often the clothes weren't really clean. And the bedding (sheets, pillowcases) always came out as a "mushroom", one sheet puffed up in the middle, with all the braided sheet and pillowcases stuffed witin. Very odd.... So, goodbye to Whirlpool Cabrio. Three loads done so far in the Samsung front loader, and it's a world of difference..........

To quote the company's write up, "The ReplacementBrand RB-SA2 is a comparable replacement water filter for the Samsung DA29-00020B, HAFCIN, DA29-00020A, AP5271937, Aquafresh WF294, and Water Sentinel WSS-2 Replacement Water Filters." Since the life of this product is projected as about 6 months, I am unable to review the life expectancy at this point. I have entered a note in my calendar to update in February 2016 - or later, if it is still doing it's job. At this point, I can only state that the ReplacmentBrand RB-SA2 filter appears structurally the same as the original filter by Samsung. It inserts readily into the filter opening of the Samsung refrigerator and locks correctly with reasonable effort. Draining the air from the water line went smoothly, with less air than the previous times I have replaced the original filter with a Samsung brand filter. I do not have the ability to test for chemicals in the output water; taste at this point is good.

The hood looks nice and initially worked well. We are pleased with the 6 suction levels, and 2 lights. However, the company has to do better on the quality of the parts. Much better. First, the A couple of weeks after installation the lights and suction shut off. After 6 weeks of phone calls and waiting, the company sent a tech to replace the faulted electric board. Second, recently the one of the two lights (halogen lights) got loose and hangs off the horizontal plate. Now we are trying to have someone coming to fix that. I expect they will do it because we are still within the warranty time. But I wonder what else will happen after the warranty expires. Update: after some waiting, they sent two new bulbs at no cost. They were easy to install. Since then, the hood works very well. It is efficient and sleek. The 6 speeds makes it very practical. I am frying and grilling in my open kitchen and do not get smoke or odors in the rest of the house. I would up the rating to a 3 to 4 stars.

I give this one star because it won't let me go lower. This is a knock-off piece of junk. I just now wrote a check for $92.40 to a refrigerator repairman to figure out why my water dispenser totally stopped working....you guessed it.....right after I installed this "filter." There is a little black gasket/seal just below the part that plugs into the refrigerator. Only it isn't attached and when you "plug in" the filter it really doesn't plug in. SO....I found a reliable repairman, made an appointment, did without the water dispenser, took time off from work (which inconvenienced a lot of other people) to meet the repairman at the house. It took him 16 minutes to diagnose and show me the problem. Now, I am going back to work, but I will have to leave early to go by the reputable local parts store where I will purchase an actual working filter. Obviously, I am not going to pay postage to return this faulty filter. It's a design defect. Re-read this last sentence please. It is a design defect. It doesn't work. Never would work. It's not a secret.

First, it's a really great idea. But it fails on assembly where they link the round sheet metal to the flat sheet metal. It's not quite spot welds and not quite crimped together. It's sort of crimped together. Very little pressure will separate the rings from the metal housing. It's easily fixed with a few rivets but it's a cheap, half-arsed design. They were nice enough to put a sticker on to say which side goes to the dryer output. Which is VERY odd since this thing is actually two halves of the same piece slid together. Maybe they think that because air is flowing in a certain direction it won't escape out the gaps in the metal. Realistically, once this thing is connected you should use foil tape to cover the gap at the slip joint. So you'll need this, clamps, foil tape, and a delicate touch. I ended up using flexible hose and accepted that the dryer would be 6 inches from the wall.

I received the bearing kit promptly and intact. All items were protected in individual heavy duty envelopes within the box. After reading many reviews and comments I decided to pass on buying the ridiculously overpriced installation tool ($100 for a minute of use is insane for a homeowner to pay for a one-time use) and go another route. I cleaned out the areas where the bearings go very thoroughly and greased the outside of the bearings before installing them. I placed the old bearing on top of the new bearing to give myself something to hammer them in with.. I took my time and used less force and more hits to gently drive the bearings in. I then put my finger through the bearings to feel if there were any gaps between the bearings and the housing. When I was sure that they were fully seated I continued the rest of the reassembly. When I put the shifter in I manually spun it and found that there was no binding or rubbing. After final assembly I let the glue dry overnight according to instructions. The next day I ran a light load of clothes to try it out and the machine ran as expected and was super quiet again during the spin cycles.

i spent 2 weeks researching portable mini washing machines & decided on this & am SO glad i got the Panda washer & spin dryer as separate units. buying them individually means that i can use them simultaneously, that it's lighter to move around--10 to 13 pounds each; that less space is taken up in the bathtub where i place the washer on 2 of those little plastic, foldable step stools and that i won't lose both units if 1 of them goes out. i live in an apartment & HATE the washers in the laundryroom. NOW, i can wash clothes on MY time, ANY time, as often as i want, rinse as much as i want and NO MORE QUARTERS (except for the 50 i use in the laundryroom dryers). 25 years ago i bought an Avanti portable (plastic) washer for about $45; now, they're $400 each; including shipiing, my Panda washer & spin dryer cost exactly $200. The Avanti was quite loud with a big grinding noise--so much so that my downstairs neighbor asked me about the big noise. The Panda is SO quiet, i'm amazed. Quiet is very important to me. The Spin Dryer is even quieter. I'm so please with The Panda that i'm buying the washer & dryer (separately) for a friend.

Arrived slightly dented, looks like something heavy hit the box during transportation. Nevertheless, works great. No leaks after I tightened hoses a little. If you want to connect it to faucet, you should connect the adapter to the faucet first. In order to do that, your faucet should have special threads either on the inside or outside. If you have aerator installed, you should detach it and install the adapter instead. It is not great aerator, water easily splashes all around when you use it not with dishwasher. Connection is easy, instruction is pretty clear, it cleans dishes very well. I had some problems with tables - at some points they were not dissolving fully. Cleaning up the mess is, well, messy. I switched to gel and moved cutlery basket slightly inside the dishwasher (so the detergent dispenser cannot even touch it) and have not had any problems afterwards. 10" plates fit in easily, but you have to read instruction first - they won't fit on nearest racks, you should use the racks near the far side - they're slightly lower. Small size of the dishwasher also implies that you cannot fit a lot of pans or pots here, and it's an adventure to fit everything you want to. Say, big tall glasses will take a lot of space, and big glass baking pan will take the entire space.

I was sticker-shocked with the price of the name brand filter for our refrigerator. Plus, it was to be changed twice a year! Money doesn't grow on trees and $50 a filter was must more than we could even squeeze into the budget .... like most people these days. So, before I took the plunge to purchase "generic," I turned to my group of "experts"... Facebook friends! They'll tell it like it is! I had probaby 12 to 15 responses and all but one said, "Go with the compatiable one." I read the reviews of several filters which are compatiable with our refrigerator and settled on the one from Pure Line. The price was great and I appreciated the reviews I read. To help me install the Pure Line, I compared were the little mark on the name-brand was located and easily inserted the new filter. No problems thus far! The name brand lasted 5 months before the light came on. I am anxious to see how this one compares. And, to make sure I don't forget about it, Pure Line gives you a small magnet to date when you installed your filter! :)

I recently moved in to an old house with old Jenn Air appliances and kitchen sink. One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is that this little flap that keeps food from splashing into your face when you turn on the disposal was so worn out that it fell into the disposal just about every time that you turned the disposal on. Finally fed up, I began trying to find a replacement part but apparently Jenn Air no longer makes it which left me scrambling trying to find one that would be a good fit for my big kitchen sink. After doing some research and reading the reviews, I finally chose this InSink Erator QCB-AM AntiMicrobial Quiet Collar Sink Baffle and then ordered it from Amazon. When it arrived I was actually excited (you would be too if yucky food had repeatedly splashed up in your face when the disposal went on) to try it to see if it fit and how well as well as if it really did quiet my monster loud disposal. Well......Woohoo!! I literally just dropped it into place and it fit PERFECTLY with no modifications needed and my extremely loud disposal noise was reduced by a good 60%. I am thrilled with this new little gadget for my sink and if you are also in need of one this size then I would highly recommend that you give this one a try!!

A little challenging to install, but the control over system speed is amazing. Much quieter whole-house-fan operation and smooth transition between speeds means home occupants don't even know it's running. It can be set up to run at a constant low speed even when no fan signal is supplied, which is great for equalizing temperatures throughout the house without having to run the fan at 100%. I suspect I'll see energy savings as well. This is very challenging to install for a homeowner without prior HVAC experience, but you should be able to do it if you are good at figuring things out. It's helpful to attack with a basic understanding of furnace blower technology - there are two voltages supplied, full 110v to the motor windings and a 24VAC circuit supplied to the fan control. When a 24V circuit is applied to one of the signal wires, the fan will spin. Several wires are provided, each of which will spin the fan at a different speed. You can wire up your system to spin at a lower speed for fan control, or a higher speed for furnace, humidifier or AC control. It's pretty neat.

It worked reasonably well for almost a month, cleaning about 4 out of 5 loads spotlessly. Then one day it just wouldn't turn on. No power, no lights, no button responses. Reset breaker, checked for live power, redid junction box connections, still dead. Would not touch Electrolux with a 10 foot pole at this point. I should have gone with Bosch. EDIT: So you didn't think my review was helpful? Let me elaborate then: After the first time it broke, they came to replace the control board. It then worked for 1 week, then broke again with the same symptoms. So they replaced the control board AGAIN, this time also replacing the whole touch panel too. THIS time it seems to be working, but it could because I'm no longer using the heated dry option, which I suspect overheats and destroys their garbage control board stuffed into the back of the unnit. Did I mention it took WEEKS to schedule warranty service it between each incident? I had to buy a $200 countertop dishwasher in the meanintime which never broke down. If you buy this brand after reading this, you must be a fool.

Did not know for sure what was wrong with my very old front loading frigidaire washing machine, it started making lots of banging noise and moving. I started with the shock absorbers hoping this would fix. Needed help to move the machine away from the wall and watched a few different videos on youtube.com on how to change out. I'm a 61 yr old grandma and it was doable, except for moving the machine around. My cousin put it on a carpeted furniture dolly for me that helped a great deal. You can get a cheap dolly with wheels at a hardware store like lower or home depot. Well the next day after I changed out the parts we put the machine back and the baby purred like new. Was positive the old pins would not fit but they did. The old shock absorbers fell apart when removed. I'm so proud of myself. Two years ago I changed out the drain pump when the washer would not spin leaving the clothes soaked. These fixes only require a few tools and youtube will show you how to do it.

The Kenmore repair parts list which I have had for my washer since I bought it, calls out the P/N 5303207418 for the cold/hot solenoid fill valve. This part that I was shipped is NOT a replacement part for 5303207418 as the description clearly states. The mount bracket is not at all the same. I had to cut the included bracket with a metal blade on an angle grinder, then get different mount bracket screws for the screws for the Kenmore bracket would not work on the replacement bracket. I would not have gone to this trouble at all had it not been for the fact that my washer and dryer are stacked. I had to use another person to lift the dryer off with me. It was then that I discovered the above problem. I really had no choice but to modify it to fit. Unless you are very mechanically adept and have a lot of extra time with which you do not know what to occupy it with, this is definitely a BAD replacement choice for the Kenmore! The correct one (I now know) is PART # 134190200 OR AP3363282 GENUINE FACTORY OEM ORIGINAL CLOTHES WASHER WATER INLET VALVE listed on the amazon.com site.

We have a very small galley type kitchen with no window so ventilation is an issue. Cooking well done burgers in a fry pan can cause a little smoke and since there is nowhere for it to go, I figured this hood will help out there. We are using it ductless with a charcoal type filter and it's working great. Another huge benefit to this is the light. I put a 40 watt bulb in and if you put the switch in the first position you get the full 40 watts. If you click again, it decreases the brightness. That's a nice additional feature. I chose this model over others because it has an infinite fan speed control. Rather than a two speed, low or high setting, this one has a dial that you can move and as you go up, the speed gets faster. It can be somewhat loud on the highest speed. I don't see us ever using that one though. The middle speed has some noise but not bad at all. Just make sure if you are using this ductless to remove the tab on the front to let the airflow come through. One other thing that I did not know: This unit and most others do NOT come with a plug that you put into an outlet. There are three wires and it is assumed that it will be connected directly to the electrical system in the home.

I purchased this item, a replacement lint trap for my dryer. I compared the part number stamped on the lint trap currently being used on my dryer. The part number was exactly the same except for the colour indicator. I ordered the part which was $13 and a $5 shipping charge. The part I received wasn't exactly the correct one. I contacted the seller who told me to return it, and they would refund the cost of the part but not the freight. Basically I should spent a total of $10 to return a $13 item. The seller has a good thing going, they can make money just from the shipping. They send the incorrect item, you return it and pay for the shipping both ways. They then resell the item again and again, and again. It wasn't just that the freight was not to be refunded, it was the attitude. You have no way to pick up a telephone and ask questions, to speak to someone. What are they afraid of? I would tell everyone to forget this seller exists and find the product elsewhere as I will.

After 2 years of a new leaking Maytag Centennial, I decided that ditching the $600 leaker was worth my peace of mind. After 40 years of Sears loyalty, I decided never do business with them again! The Centennial leaked intermittently and I was told there was nothing wrong with it - it was the design of the machine!! Service threatened to charge for a call although under warranty because repair people could find nothing wrong. My new Amana is wonderful! After being very anxious after my previous experience, I can say nothing bad about this washer. It cleans - WOW! It doesn't leak onto the floor - WOW! It is SOOO QUIET - WOW! It isn't overpriced liked most front loaders (or for that matter, most machines) - WOW! It is kind of like the olden days when you bought a washer and it didn't have problems - WOW! MAY 2010 UPDATE: ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THIS WASHER STILL WORKS FLAWLESSLY! Cleans wonderfully, clothes dry very quickly, and my water bill bill has gone down.

I've had this kegerator for a bit over 2 months now and really enjoy it. It fits a standard 1/2 keg perfectly (with some room for a few bottles/cans), keeps it cold, and is easy to clean. Set up was not difficult at all, thanks to the included instructions. However, I have two minor issues which prevent me from giving it 5 stars (I'd give it 4.5 if it was an option): 1) It comes with an empty 5lb CO2 tank. In NYC it is hard to find a place that will do an exchange for a 5lb tank, so I ended up having to spend a lot of money on a 10lb tank. 2) The tubing from keg to the faucet is shorter than ideal, which can lead to excess foam. Replacing it with a longer tube (if you find it necessary) is easy and cheap, so it's not a big deal. Beyond those two very minor issues, it is an excellent purchase, definitely a 4.5/5.

Since the original part (AP3996921/2307048) for my refrigerator (Kitchenaid KSCS25FTMS02) wasn't available, I used this part to piece together a solution that got the job done. I tried just replacing the original part with this one, but the angles of the cam didn't work with the other half of the cam on the cabinet hinge. What did work was also replacing the bottom hinge cam with a part in the Whirlpool R0181181 Door Closure Kit (also on Amazon&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Whirlpool-R0181181-Door-Closure-Kit/dp/B00DZU9CTC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Whirlpool R0181181 Door Closure Kit</a>). The bottom hinge cam didn't have the right sized hole, but a 3/8" drill bit through the existing smaller hole worked perfectly. There may be other parts that work, but that combination got the job done since the correct part isn't available anywhere any more. I'm posting this for this review in case someone else out there is stuck like I was. Now the door closes like a dream.

We ordered this compact fridge to replace our old small one in our mater suite. This one is so well thought out with its inside storage options. We love all the door racks, especially the new can holder part (so much better than the old drop and stack rack) that will hold various can sizes. We presently have stocked it with many things, and there's still room. We love the bottom drawer for cheese and fruit. It fits perfectly under the counter, and compliments our toaster oven, coffee maker, microwave (that we also bought at Amazon), and TV. Also, since it's in our master closet, not too far from our bed, we really appreciate how quiet it is. The glass shelves are a plus. Our old one had open wire racks, and items were constantly falling through the wires, and spills can easily be cleaned up without dripping through the lower racks. I couldn't be happier with this unit, and feel it's worth every bit the cost which we feel is a bargain for what we got.

I must admit I was skeptical that this would perform as well as the description on "Product Features" displayed here at Amazon.com. Our dryer duct is over 30 feet long and I had taken it apart to clean on several occasions before. Getting all the lint out of even more than one 3 foot section at a time was a challenge as the lint seems to stick as though someone glued it in place. I ordered the Gardus R3203612 LintEater 12-Foot Extension Kit to go with the cleaning kit. The extensions are the same as the rods that come with the kit and extend the reach an additional 12 feet. I placed the vacuum attachment on the end where the dryer would be connected and went outside to feed the brush with the rod into the duct (per instructions) one rod at a time. It seems to be a simple operation, with the adding each rod separately until the end is reached. I my case, I had to finish by going into the house to clean the last 6-8 feet from inside as the 24 length was still not long enough to reach the end. The vacuum attachment has a port for the rods in that scenario, also. Upon looking down the duct with a flashlight, it looked surprisingly clean. I would recommend this item, especially if the lint build up in your dryer vent is difficult to clean out.

I absolutely love this nostalgic beverage fridge for its design, but the location of switches can be an inconvenience. The lights do not automatically turn on when you open the fridge, but there is a switch on the back inside the lower of two holes. Each of the two holes has a grommet to prevent being cut by the sharp edges of the hole. The upper hole is for access to the temperature settings and lower hole is for access to the light switch. If the fridge is sitting on the floor as mine is, I have to slide the unit around so I can actually reach the holes (on the same side as the door hinge). I do not consider than a negative, but I can see where some folks would. The temperature comes set on 3 of 5, so I left it there and it keeps the filled fridge icy cold. With the lights on, it is stunning and gets many compliments. I would think that the locking capability would come in handy if you stored alcoholic beverages in there. So in the decision between nostalgia and convenience, I chose nostalgia. I have used it daily since I purchased it in early Dec 2016, and I am happy with my decision.

Updated 1/4/18 It appears Best Air has changed the wick material, as compared to those we have purchased in the past. To extend life we turn the wick every time we fill the water container. The present generation draw the water very well but the material is very fragile. Just touching it when you lift the wick to turn it over causes the material to fall apart - like wet toilet paper. NOTE WE do not recommend you touch the wick material after original installation. DO NOT plan on turning this wick. If there is reliable wick out there priced reasonably, I haven't found it at this time. There is a definite need for a long life low cost wick. This wick does have a built in metal center support which helps to keep the shape of the wick. But if you can't turn the wick it appears the additional structural metal center piece is a negative because of the very thin paper wick material falling from the center support. If you don't plan on turning the wick or paying for the extra manufacturing cost of the center support two stars.

I'm happy to report that I did indeed receive an authentic OEM Whirlpool heating element, just as described and pictured. Yes, it had the stamped FSP mark on it ("An abbreviation for Factory Specification Parts. Used by Whirlpool to differentiate genuine factory replacement parts from those of after market or universal replacement parts.") There are a number of off-brand knock-offs available elsewhere on Amazon, most at significantly lower prices, so make sure you know what you're getting. If you're getting a knock-off from THIS listing, you didn't get the right part. The element was identical to the one taken from my Kenmore dryer (well, except this one did not have the open coil that caused the failure, of course!). The whole replacement process could not have been easier -- check YouTube for any of several very helpful videos on the procedure. Most of the work was in the guilty and long-overdue lint cleanup. The dryer is back in operation after minimal downtime, thanks to Amazon Prime 1-day shipping.

WARNING! Stay away from Electrolux. We have had nothing but problems with all of our appliances. We made the big mistake three years ago of buying all new electrolux appliances for our kitchen and we have had nothing but problems just like most of the other reviewers around the internet. While this review is only on the dishwasher, we have experienced problems with our Electrolux fridge, stove, oven, compactor and hood vent. This last week our dishwasher made several pop sounds, then our kitchen filled with the smell of electronics burning and then the dishwasher went dead. Only lasted 3 years :( Electrolux repair and service is a nightmare to deal with, so we just decided to purchase a Bosch to replace it with. The plan it to start replacing all electrolux appliances with another brand and never again will I buy electrolux. Lifetime ban, and I've made sure to tell as many people as possible about our bad experience. Save yourself time and money and avoid this brand. Also be careful to research other brands as Electrolux also makes some Kenmore appliances.

These feel like really well constructed hoses, and they are long and plenty flexible for any reasonble gap behind a washer. They have really nice, thick, rubber washers, and I didn't have any issues or leaks, and as I removed my old rubber hoses, I noticed one was completely missing the rubber washer - it had rotted away, and the metal itself was starting to corrode in 2 places, and I would think it was a good candidate to start leaking in a major way. One criticism, and I'm not sure if will matter to some - I had just replaced my mixing valve, and it was corroded and jammed with sediment. So when I replaced it, the water flow was tremendously improved - it could really fill fast, hot, cold, or mixed. But when I replaced the old rubber hoses with these braided ones a couple of weeks later, the water flow rate dropped noticeably. I didn't notice any restrictors in the ends, so I'm guessing the inside diamter is just smaller than the old ones. It's not a a deal breaker, and if I hadn't just replaced my mixing valves, I probably wouldn't have noticed, but if you're super focuses on flow rate, I'd try another type.

Leaked everywhere. Had to get a refrigerator repair man out only to find out that the problem was the filter that I purchased months ago so I could not return it. I bought another filter directly from kitchen aid (which is not typical for me - I love amazon and amazon pricing) and the leaking stopped almost immediately. The filter that I received from kitchen aid is the exact same filter with the exact same part number but the label looks very different. I worry that this one was not the real deal. Maybe a knock of, maybe an older version, maybe stay away from the seller of this one. I can not say for sure but if you want the base boards around your fridge not to rot then think twice about buying these 3rd party. If I could've put less than 1 start then I'm would have. It is hard to see the water in the pic that I uploaded but trust me it had ran down my entire kitchen when I got back from being out of town. Very disappointed not knowing who to trust.
