I bought this minifridge for my living room to hold beer and soda. I'm a craft beer lover, which come mostly in bottles and are best kept refrigerated. I'm retired and no longer drive. I get my groceries, including my beer and soda, delivered, which means I order up to 8 six packs of beer at a time, especially if one of my regular brands is on sale. This refrigerator works great, but I wish they had one that the shelves were spaced for 12 oz bottles instead of shorter cans. I had to take 2 shelves out to fit bottles, leaving room at the bottom for soda cans. If the supports for the shelves were spaced for bottles, I could use a third shelf for my beers. The door can be set to open either right or left handed with no problem. The door seal is very tight. The magnets on the door are strong, and the rubbed gasket is excellent. The fridge operates quietly enough I don't have to raise the volume of the tv. I hardly notice when it cycles on. I just wish they would offer one for us craft beer aficiandos. We're growing in numbers.

I have been using this product for over two years, and coincidentally have been replacing filters every ten to twelve days, on two separate humidifiers. The filters would develop a sort of polluted water stench, and only a cleaning, and a new filter would rectify the problem. Well, needless to say, it was getting pretty expensive. I tried cleaning the filters, and all types of experimentation to rectify this problem. In all fairness, I called the filter company on two occasions, and explained what was going on, and they sent me five replacement filters, each time at no cost. This year, after buying $120 worth of filters to get me through the winter, and being all out of tricks, I decided to try laying off this additive, and lo and behold, problem solved. No problems, I don't know what is in this additive, but in my case, the filters are being destroyed by it, way before they should be replaced, and now I am getting a minimum of 30 days, out of my filters, which isn't great, but much better than before.

I have had three of these in a short period of time and they all seemed to operate relatively well. Noise level varied among the three, but none were annoying and one was whisper quiet. One of them was able to run more efficiently (short duty cycle) and maintain temperatures below 34 degrees a little easier. They all would keep drinks very cold under ideal conditions. The insulation seems acceptable, but the difference in operation was noticeable between a warm zone and cool zone in the house. The sticker on the glass claims an average yearly operating cost of $54. Here's a grain of salt. The LED light brightness varied between the units. All were acceptable, but one was considerably brighter. It's a good purchase that I HOPE lasts well beyond the warranty period. Product has serious issues related to the condition it will in arrive in, but since that type of helpful information is verboten here, I suggest you patiently use the great return policy to it's fullest extent.

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.

EXCELLENT. Wicks the water up like a camel in the desert. Here's a solution: rinse the whole filter in water first. Then, install the filter into the unit. Make sure that the bottom of the filter is flush and touching the bottom of the humidifier unit. Place the center housing on top. Then install the two side water-bearing units. IMPORTANT: relax a few minutes and let the water drain in and fill the resiviour. You know that gurgling sound. Then, give it a few more minutes for the filter to draw up more water into itself. What I'm saying is this... if you put in a bone dry filter from the box--- and expect it to suck up water--- *with* the unit on at the same time? That's not gonna work. After a few minutes, turn on the unit. Your choice: 1, 2, or 3. You will have comfortable, humidified air in your home. (Also, what I do to neutralize chlorine is use a neutralizer that is formulated for fish tank water. Add it to the tanks in the recommended dosage, and you will notice a HUGE difference. The place used to smell like a swimming pool before implementing this chlorine-reduction strategy.)

I don't like housework. I hate doing laundry. Ok, so I got my little washing machine yesterday and my 3 year old daughter thought it was the cutest thing. She loved that it was just her size. So she insisted that we try it out. She gathered up all her laundry all on her own. She couldn't help much but she loved watching! She did help me rinse the clothes in the bathtub and wring them out. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the experience. It was not only a teaching/bonding experience for my daughter, but we both enjoyed the work. It is so super easy to use. I used 2 heaping regular plastic spoonfuls of homemade laundry soap and the clothes came out spanking clean and smelling fresh! We enjoyed doing the first load so much that we continued to do 3 more immediately. Then my boyfriend got home and I couldn't wait for him to see how it worked so we did another load of his clothes together. It was strangely satisfying to do our laundry in this little hand powered washing machine.

I bought the base unit and have two extra remote sensors (for a total of 3 outdoor sensors). I have just finished setting it up, so I don't know about battery use by the base unit. I do like that the remote sensors have rechargeable batteries, so they won't be using up batteries. The 3 remote sensors agree within 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The base unit agrees with reference indoor thermometers within 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit. However, be patient, allow 20-30 minutes for the readings to stabilize. The sensors have good range - 50 feet in my case. During synchronization mode all sensors were read repeatedly. Once synchronization mode is done, the base only continues to read the last sensor that was read; you can toggle through the sensors with the channel/sync button on the back. I'll update this after I've used these for about 6 months. If there hasn't been an update, everything is fine.

This was ordered as a replacement for a switch that caused the 8-inch element to turn red-hot. The Magic Chef has been used for 30 years. I was not sure this switch would be a satisfactory replacement. It appeared to have the correct number of wiring contacts, and the current it could handle was the higher amount - 8.9 - 11 amperes. The length of the shaft is about an eighth of an inch shorter than my original, and the entire switch was mounted sideways so OFF would be on top, just as it is on all the three other original switches. I used my laser temperature 'gun' to determine that the LO was the lower temperature and the HI was the higher temperature. Other than those two points, the switch is a satisfactory replacement for the 30-plus year-old switch which controls the large eight-inch burner. The indicators on the replacement (Frigidaire) switch - L1, L2, H1, H2 and P - all coincide with the indicators on the original (Magic Chef). If I remember in the future, I'll update on whether this switch lasted any length of time. UPDATE: Middle of August 2017 and the switch is still functioning as it did when it was first installed. This switch rotates easier than the 30-year-old switches do.

If you are a working mom, living in a apartment, with not a lot of help from hubby, with little ones, you need two items: this machine and a portable dishwasher. I recommend to do your best to save $375 to get both or make them must have baby shower items a group can put money together and surprise you with. I live on a 3rd floor walk up and used to own the midea washer, a fully automated washer, purchased after my daughter was born. I wished I bought this machine instead. I am able to wash my queen comforter from home. While a fully automated machine saves me the hassle of babysitting (manually setting timer to empty tub and turning on water to fill tub), the fact that is has 2.5 times the capacity of my old machine and rumbles way less (including being $100 cheaper), makes a world of a difference. I am able to come home after 6pm and have the benefit of doing my laundry from home without having to worry about my neighbor below complaining about noise. I do have a heavy mat from when I had my old machine. This machine is not too heavy and is great for small spaces. Some other reviewers have turkey baster rubber bottom idea to fill the tub. It is a good idea, but I opted to use the water hose from my old machine to fill the machine with water quickly.

The LintEater worked like a charm. I thought I had about 20 feet of dryer duct to clean so I opted not to purchase the extension kit. I figured I'd use it from both sides so the 12 feet that comes with the kit should suffice. I didn't purchase the optional lint bag but found a cheap alternative. I duct taped a garbage bag to the side of the house around the end of the dryer duct but leaving plenty of opening for air to escape from the bag once I turned on the dryer. I then cut a slit in the bag to get the LintEater through. After about 10 minutes of running the LintEater while the dryer was running, I was done. I didn't realize it while I was using it, but the garbage bag was almost half full when I finished. I didn't think that much was going to come out. If I didn't use the bag, then I would have made a huge mess in my yard and the neighbor's yard. I recommend reading the fairly well written manual. There are some tips in there that may not be obvious that will save you from a big headache. I also recommend a dust mask while doing this. I used an 18v cordless drill with a 3/8" chuck.

I purchased it through another website and got a slightly better deal , but the price on Amazon is pretty close. I bought the stainless steel dual tap version of this, which is essentially the same but I like the look better than black. I have to qualify by saying I've only had it for about a 30 days so I can't comment on long term reliability. As for looks, I love the stainless look which is worth the extra $40 over black. Stainless really makes it look classy. The fittings, hoses and connections were all flawless. It came with all the o-rings, most of which were already attached. The fridge setting I have is on the second lowest cold setting and it gets the beer in my keg really cold. It makes a loud clicking and/or popping noise from time to time like my other small fridge but otherwise runs quiet (this noise is the defrosting as I understand it). The fridge is probably pretty standard to other kegerators, but looks nice and the fittings should last a long time. I can fit two 1/6 kegs and a 5lb CO2 tank inside the fridge, with not much room to spare.

Great stove, been using it extensively since we got it 2 weeks ago and are very happy. Boils water very quickly, oven works great and the auto temp probe is a great tool. Warming drawer is great for heating pies. Flat top is easy to clean, with no knobs to clean around. We saved several hundred dollars over purchasing in Home Depot/Lowes/Sears, and the stove was delivered to our door in perfect shape. Very pleased not only with the stove but also with the entire transaction on Amazon. Follow up review after about 1 year of using this stove: Still working great but one thing to watch out for is to not spill an excessive amount of water on the cooktop as there are vents along the front and rear. Inside those vents are circuit boards which do not mix well with water. We did blow one out after a pot boiled a lot of water over the edge and it was covered under warranty. Just something to be aware of. Also, my initial fears that a family member or one of our cats might accidentally push a button and turn a burner on have proved pointless, it would seem very difficult to do at best. Lastly, there are audible beeps when a button is pushed which is also a good thing. We weren't sure of this before purchasing.

I am a student who lives in an apartment without washer/dryer and don't have a car to go to the laundromat. I just did a few loads with the Wonderwash and am satisfied with it. The assembly is easy, the size of the item is both sufficiently small to be used on a kitchen top yet big enough to wash a few days worth of laundry. Make sure you put the Wonderwash on a wet surface so that the suction pad can maintain the item while spinning. Also, do not start cracking it too fast too soon, build up the speed gradually. Personally, I put the detergent first, then fill the Wonderwash half with hot water, add the clothes and give a few spins to pre treat. After 5-10 mins, I start spinning continually for 10 mins. It is not hard to do, when the movement is started you barely feel the weight. Once again, make sure your suction pads will hold it in place. The cap does not leak and the tube provided to drain the water is very efficient. So far, the only real con is that when you are done, the clothes are so wet, you have to hang them above a tub for a few hours before they are fully drained. I'll keep this review updated.

Based on all the reviews listed here - and the price - I chose the Haier HLP21E. Thanks for all the info on the bottom plate and the screws. I only had to purchase a stronger screwdriver to force the screws through the metal. The machine is so quiet I had to keep checking to be sure it was running. The faucet adapter works with the bathroom sink and the hose runs into the bathtub, draped over the drying rack. A great purchase. UPDATE 06/04/2009 - Water started gushing out of the faucet adapter into the sink, but I just had to wiggle the hose to be sure that the first 3-4" below the faucet were absolutely perpendicular. Today I actually washed a queen-size comforter and all is well. Certainly do not recommend anything that large but I was desperate. (I'm on crutches and can't carry anything down to the laundry room.) Everything, even towels and jeans, dries overnight on a rack in the bathtub - just like the one my mother used with her wringer washer in the 1940s!

I just spent hours and hours searching on this site and on others trying to figure out which filter replacement to get for my kenmore 800DEvenheat w/automoisture sensing that i purchased in 2009! I ended up calling the manufacturer and ordered one! :( I had numerous #'s I retreived from my dryer but nothing on Amazon matched those numbers! Needless to say this is the EXACT filter I needed for my dryer but I didn't know that until I got the 'hidden' converted cryptic # from the manufacturer, no ones fault I guess :) Of course it was wayyyy more expensive at almost $50! this is crazy! I should return it but after all the hassle but the rep was extremely nice, I'll just keep it but at least NOW i have the parts number and the model number should i need other parts on this dryer! Live and learn!! :-) BTW... the part # for this from the manufacturer is #W10120998. The model # on this particular dryer is #110.69822800. I hope my trial and errors will help others!

Used this unit to monitor and control a humidifier in a refrigerator sized cigar humidor. This unit appears to work ok, but I don't have a reference so I can't tell how accurate it is. I assumed it was more accurate than the cheapo humidor hygrometer, so I set the hygrometer to this sensor output. It's straight differential control, so on when humidity too low, off when humidity too high. You get set point and a hysteresis parameters. Bare bones control, but it tracks and seems to work. I ran into an issue with the sensor when it first arrived. I wired up the unit to power and thought I'l test it. I had the sensor in open air ( in my garage ) and it read 60%... I set the setpoint to 70 and I wanted to see the relay kick off, so I breathed on the sensor. The first time, I barely registered anything, so I was a bit more energetic on the second breath. After the second breath, the display read 70-81-92-OL and remained displaying OL for an hour or more. Then it slowly, and I mean one percent per 10 minutes slowly, returned to 60% over the course of the next several hours. It didn't appear to suffer any permanent damage, but It certainly didn't like my humid breath.

got it from third attempt, the first time got it without lift gate and the driver asked me to pick it up with forklift, was kind of making fun of me on his phone when i said it's impossible to pick it up with a forklift, it's a tall heavy tower, it would fall and break in peaces, the driver bragged that he would be able to do it with his awesome forklift skills i said no, the second time they delivered, we opened it and it was broken in peaces, glass shattered and a hole from a fork of a forklift in a side, the third time it got delivered it was fine, was happy for a month or so, now all of the sudden some mornings when i come the temperature is way up and all the inventory melted and i have to trush everything, happened several times already including today, tried to figure out the settings, looking in the instructions and online, nothing, it's just not holding the temperature, like just crashes sometimes, very disappointed, the thing is expensive and not working :( lesson learned, buy form companies that actually make and sell or reputable wholesalers not dropshippers.

I saw a lot of complaints that the adjustment insterts won't fit - i had the same problem until noticing that one end of each insert is veeery slightly beveled to be inserted. you can barely notice this but unless you insert that end into the knob, it won't slide in. in fact even inserting the correct end it is still a bit difficult and you have to work it around and push pretty hard - but they do fit. also as mentioned these are apparently not "universal" because all the inserts are for the same size half moon post - they fit my stove perfectly but apparently from comments there are other size posts on other stoves. oh yeah and people had complained that the sticker showing off position doesn't stick - the sticker has a backing - also not readily apparent - you need to peel off the backing to expose the sticky side and then it will stick all in all, not a very intuitive product - but once you figure it out, it worked great for me -- and at an unbeatable price

Having employed only electric coil burner or LP gas-stove methods of cooking previously, this highly-efficient heating unit was initially a bit strange and required several attempts before I began to 'like it'. The selection of wattage and/or temperature is a new experience and I am still learning what intensity is appropriate for the heating various liquids or cooking foods I have chosen to prepare. The timer is a great aspect but very challenging to achieve the desired number of minutes, especially if less than the preset 30 minute allotment. The digital read-out is excellent, revealing in intervals, the watts being consumed or the temp selected and the number of minutes (and/or hours) remaining. The automatic shut-off is a beneficial feature while the flashing digital code and subtle beeping sound signals the presence of non-compatible cookware; this can be very helpful. The reason I chose a four-star rating is mostly due to my lack of experience with induction cooking, limited cookware usage (no Calphalon stainless steel, for example) or and complications when using the timer; the instruction booklet states how simple it is to set but I am still bewildered when I want to select anything less than the pre-set 30 minutes. Perhaps it's because I am nearly 70 years of age and numerous devices in this digital age can be a tad confusing and difficult to assimilate thus the 'old dog; new tricks' heading. BTW, the included covered stainless pot is basically a joke. Talk about cheap!

I bought this straight from the manufacturer. It's a beautiful appliance, looks great in our kitchen. Had it professionally installed and I use it with the ventless kit that was available. Motor started making a weird noise within a month of installation. Contacted the manufacturer and was put in touch with one of their technicians which was challenging at best. They decided to ship me a new motor. Just the motor, which I had to install myself. Came with no instructions. I was very surprised they sent this to me. I thought they'd send me whole new hood. I had to figure out how to wire it myself. Wasn't fun and received no follow up from the company. Now it runs fine but I must say it's almost useless. Doesn't get the job done at all. I'm not sure it's because its ventless or if it's just weak. Smoke from food stands in the kitchen setting off the smoke alarm. Basically is useless. Wouldn't recommend this hood.

Bought both an Electrolux French Door Wave touch Fridge and this oven. Make no mistakes - "Electrolux" is no better and probably worse than Frigidaire - Same Parent company. These products are horrific. You will get to know the service man personally as they will be here 4-6X per year to repair this junk. I had the fridge replaced 3 times from the Electrolux Company - and now it is part of a class action lawsuit. This Lemon range has burners that won't light until it click 15 times then ignites a fireball, has racks that are supposed to slide out but stop working after a year and get stuck and break, has stainless steel that will scratch like crazy if you happen to rub a crumb across is with a paper towel (I am not joking here). I can't use the self cleaning feature because the high heat bakes the control panel. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY ELECTROLUX. You would be amazed how horribly designed these units are.

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.

Our Kenmore front load washer stopped working. It gave us an error code "F DL". The book said to replace the door lock switch. I ordered one and today I put it in. It was a very easy install - Unplug the machine, accept help from a three year old and a six year old (child labor optional),remove the spring strap from around the front seal, remove three screws holding the switch assembly in place, unplug three wire harnesses on the switch assembly, and replace the switch assemble. It only took about five or ten minutes. After it was all back together it still didn't work. Then I noticed the latch (the part that is attached to the door) was loose and could slide left and right. I messed with it for a bit, centered it, tightened the screws holding it in place, shut the door and wonder of wonders the machine worked! The original switch wasn't the problem at all! Try this before you order a part just to be safe. Oh, and don't worry about the part; I'm keeping it. I figure it was my own mistake for not looking the machine over better in the first place and there's no reason to return the part, making the seller eat their labor and have to restock it, just because I goofed.

This is the current version of the original motor. Whirlpool has changed the design to make it less expensive to manufacture and lighter weight but it works perfectly well. Some reviewers here mention that their original motor was much heavier; indeed the one I replaced had more aluminum in the frame but frankly as an engineer I can tell you that it was unnecesary. My old motor was struggling to get the drum rolling under medium to large laundry loads, it would growl and time-out before it could get it moving and was starting to smell burnt. The new motor works perfectly under even the heaviest loads. Definetly worth the purchase and relatively simple labor to install it. Since I taking the dryer apart anyhow I once and for all replaced the belt, drum rollers and idler pulley which totals only for the $15 kit (Whirlpool 4392065RC 29-Inch Dryer Repair Kit) + $55 for the motor. It should last a few more years.

The GE PHP900 Induction Cooktop was installed without problems and has been in use for about 10 days. The response is very quick and perhaps has better control than a gas cooktop. I have put together a YouTube video describing the process of the removing the old cooktop and installing the new one. See https://youtu.be/UgC0pJ62Uuo Some people have noted than the cooking burners are difficult to see on the cooktop and indeed this is true. I have remedy for this. I purchased a kit of "Color Coding Labels", get the small ones about 1/4" in diameter. Yellow goes well with the black background. I placed a color code label on the sides and bottom area of each burner and about 3/4" away from the burner. Don't clean the cooktop surface with water or you will wash the dots away. Use the cleaning stuff that comes with the cooktop. Here is a video on how to use the color coding labels to make the burner outlines more visible. See https://youtu.be/jEr13xLfPIo

I am frustrated that i could not give an negative number. Within owning our Samsung refrigerator for just under a year 4 of the door shelves broke. We contacted Samsung and discussed that there was a significant problem with the plastic they used for these shelves. We asked for the replacement of 4 shelves and they sent 2. Less than 2 month since we replaced these shelves they have again broken. we find we are about 1 month over the 1 year warranty and they will do nothing to help. Just kept saying you are out of warranty. I believe if you register a problem during warranty and know that it is because of defective parts and they send defective replacement parts they have not really honored their warranty, their customer or stood by their product. our family has been a long time purchaser of Samsung products but after dealing with them about this issue and their total lack of customer commitment i will never do business with or by another Samsung product. Oh and but the way the ice maker broke as well.

This is an easy to use humidity and temperature reader. It comes with easy to understand instructions, a nice case and a battery. I have three floors on my house. I also have a furnace and central air conditioning unit that includes a humidifier that I use during the winter. Because my house is old and the air ducts in it were created when central air conditioning was in its infancy temperature and humidity levels vary from room to room. I plan to make some improvements to my house and this device will give me an idea of what can be improved when it comes to my air conditioning and heating. This is easy to use. When it is turned on the first numbers that appear are the relative humidity and the temperature. This changed room to room for me with a bigger difference going from my basement to the top floor of my house. There is a min/max button which shows the minimum and maximum humidity level recorded. There is a hold button so the display won't change if you need to record the information. There is also a button that shows the dew point and wet bulb but I have not used either of them. This is easy to use. This comes with a nice case. It also comes with a battery. It works well.

this makes ice and water taste like a horrible mix of plastic and rubber, and that was after several days of emptying and scrubbing the whole thing out to get residue out of it. EDIT i decided to try to get this machine working correctly. i completely drained it, including through the water dispenser, and then wiped it down with very diluted soap and water, and then thoroughly wiped it out. then i i cycled through about a gallon of vinegar, followed by 2 gallons of water that i dumped the ice out to get the vinegar completely rinsed. there is now no plastic taste, the ice is great! the water is clear and tastes like water is supposed to taste. i think there was an oily residue that was inside the water reservoir when i got it. while i did wipe it out and made a few cycles of ice to "clean" it, it could have been my error in not thoroughly cleaning it before trying the ice and water. i gladly give 5 stars, and if this machine lasts a year or two i will be pleased to buy it again. Edited again 5/30/17: machine no longer makes ice.

I was a little worried by the haters of this machine, but I took a chance and am soooo glad I did. this is a ice making beast! the only knock I have on it is the small ice tray. it fills up in 24 hours. I bought some plastic Ice bags on Amazon as well and just bag it up every day until I have enough for my own ice age! (or throw a party) Commercial machines cost a ton of $$$. this little guy @ $279 seems like a bargain. Oh, BTW, it seems pretty quiet as well. although I did install it in my garage so that isn't really an issue. also, because I read these little machines crap out fairly quickly, I did go ahead and buy the 3 year protection they offered. the extra cost seems like a good investment for piece of mind. I did notice a little frost build up after a week or so of stocking up on ice. no biggie. but something to keep an eye on. so far....I love it!

Well, yes, this is the quietest dishwasher we have ever owned. The way they apparently got it so quiet is by eliminating the noisy operations that lead to clean dishes. Many of the dishes in a load will come out clean but many in random and every changing pockets will not -- regardless of load density or method of stacking. The rack configurations are weird and do not match any of our normal dishes. As a result about 10% of our mugs and plates have now got chips at the rims from bumping together. Oh and did I mention that the dishes are not dry at the end of the cycle? The dishwasher is like a dysfunctional member of the household who has forced us all to change our behavior to enable it. We pre wash dishes to the point where it is hardly useful to put them in the dishwasher at all. We don't even think of putting certain shapes and sizes of dishes in and instead wash them by hand. At the end of the cycle we leave the door open for 15 minutes to let the plates dry. It is infuriating, especially considering how much we paid for the darn thing. Although it is only 3 years old we are getting ready to junk it and get something else.

I bought this kegerator for my husband as a Father's Day present after reading many reviews on many different kegerators. I decided to go with this one since it had the most reviews with more good than bad. It was shipped and arrived extremely fast and surprisingly my husband got it running even quicker. After reading all the reviews I though it would take him awhile to get it going, but he got it up and running in a couple hours. He is the "handyman" type though, and can pretty much put anything together. He actually read all the instructions and watched the you tube instructional video. He said he had to make a few minor tweaks. We didn't end up using the 2.5 lb co2 tank, instead a friend have us his extra 20lb tank which fits in there with a pony keg. So far so good. The beer is pouring good and cold. Its extremely quiet also, I have to check sometimes to make sure its still running because its so quiet. Overall I think this is one of the best appliance purchases I've made.

Not long enough life for what I paid. Still broke down and fell apart. Tried all the stuff, washing in vinegar etc. Worked good for a few months of non-continual use. I used it for a week straight then it would sit for a few days. I'd wash it and start again use it for a couple of day and it would sit. Did this for about two months. Then washed and it was starting to come apart where the layers were glued together. I stored it for the next 9-10 months. Got it out again and it wouldn't wick at all. Soaked it in vinegar for a few hours and worked for a day or two. Then stopped wicking and was really falling apart the inside 3 layers just laid over. It was stretchy and would not stay in the humidifier well. I gave up and found a new vaporizer without a filter. One weird note, it got a bunch of little clear beady things built up in it. Don't know what that was about.

This Weather Station is great if you want to have multiple sensor readings from multiple locations, as well as on a freezer unit! We live on top of a mountain and the sun is intense so it is interesting to watch the temperature drastically change across the house (inside & out) as the day progresses. The sensors have remained connected, the farthest probably 35-40 yards outside. The color change for outdoor temps is a nice feature, but I am 50/50 on importance beyond looking at a drab green display. At some point I will memorize the color codes and maybe then it will be more interesting for quick updates. I read a review where someone was able to get another manufacturer's sensors connected which is why I chose this unit since I have a few older RadioShack sensors with multiple channels and work on the same frequency. Alas I haven't been able to get them to communicate. I have yet to contact the manufacturer and will report back if they are able to help getting these connected. 4 stars because the unit is mulch-functioned, yet feels a but cheaply constructed for the price. Plus, I don't like the fact that the color option only works on AC since I prefer to mount with batteries.

What a nice little temp/Hum sensor. Code is very easy, and it uses just 1 pin for both internal sensors. The only issue I had preventing 5 stars was the readings are just a little bit off, leaving the only way to adjust is an offset in your code. Although not a big issue, but it leaves open how consistent the reading will be over time. If I notice it floating, I will update the post. For those needing the code used, it can be found all over the net. I just pulled it off the net from somewhere. But in a nutshell - you need the following in your code. #include <dht.h> // For HHT11 dht DHT; #define DHT11_PIN 7 int chk = 0; // * DHT11 read setup void setup() { } // your setup code void loop() { int chk = DHT.read11(DHT11_PIN); int Tmp = ( DHT.temperature * 1.8 ) + 32; // convert to Degrees F int Hum = DHT.humidity; // So Tmp is your temperature and Hum is humidity } If you want to print to the serial port, there are plenty of examples on that code to add. Same to print to LCD Good Luck

We've had our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude (model GI7FVCXWB) refrigerator for three months. We purchased it in February of 2010. We give this refrigerator a five star rating. This refrigerator is everything we wanted. We love that we no longer need measuring cups for adding water to a recipe. The door shelves are wide enough for gallon bottles. Both the refrigerator and freezer are huge. We had a second freezer because the top freezer on our previous refrigerator was so small. I have unplugged the second freezer because it is no longer needed. The ability of the ice maker to dispense cubes or crushed ice is great. Although I've seen some complaints regarding the noise level of the ice maker, it is no louder than any other refrigerator ice maker. The noise level does not draw your attention to it nor does it drown out conversations or cause any other distress. My only complaint is with the Owner's Manual. The refrigerator has a door ajar alarm. Unfortunately, the Owner's Manual does not provide good instructions for turning the alarm on. Once, I figure out how to set the door ajar alarm, we will have no concerns with our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude.

We used this brand new oven in our brand new house only twice before it broke down. The control panel became untouchably hot and certain electronics stopped working. Our service call was initiated on Dec. 17, 2013. The local repair company ordered a whole new control panel. None in stock in North America but the part was supposedly being shipped from Italy. Or was it? When nothing had been fixed by mid January, we were told delays were due to holiday closures in December. No one could really say where the part was although they said it had been shipped. Another month came and went but at long last (mid February now), the repair company finally received the panel and installed it. Our troubles did not end there, however. The oven cooks things now but the fan won't stop, even HOURS after cooking is complete. We have to switch off the breaker to stop the fan. It is now March 2, 2014 and we still can't use our oven. Bertazzoni and their products are horrible!

I initially was apprehensive about working on a gas oven myself. If it was electric I wouldnt have worried as much. But when the repair guy wanted 70 bucks to just look at the thing let along fix, I did some research and found a few super easy to follow youtube videos on how to do it. It is REALLY easy. A few tips: -dont bother with the connector. Its highly unlikely it will be the right connector. Grab a 5 dollar wire stripper from Home depot. Snip the connector off. Then strip the two wires about 3/8 inch. Do the same for the one in the oven. Do not worry about taking the back off and stuff ...just snipe the one in the oven. Then strip those two. Then swap out the ignitors using the included ceramic wire nuts. Worked like a charm. -do not over twist the ceramic wirenuts. The threads inside aren't metal and are ceramic too so you can chip and break the threads if you do. Just twist enough to make it snug.

I was a bit concerned at first, considering people's comments about leakage and non-fitting. However, I haven't encountered any of that. At first the tabs didn't look proper, until I figured out I had the thing upside down. Flipped it over, and everything looked right. Snapped in the face place, pushed it into the slot, and it works. Yes, the fit isn't "like a glove", but to be honest I encountered the same level of gaps with Frigidaire filters. As someone mentioned, you will need to run water through it to clear out the filter sediments (same as with any filter), so no big there. So for anyone considering this product, a few tips; Save the original to compare with this so you can verify the tabs are lined up properly Flush water through the unit before drinking. You'll get a lot of black sediment and "filter farts" After all that, for a product at roughly half the cost, I'm very happy about it.

This was to replace the 'same' unit I originally bought at Lowe's. The unit when it arrived was half the weight of the sturdy ABS plastic of the original model. When I inspected the unit it had no instructions other that the minimal ones on the flimsy box. When I opened the top (lint trap door) to examine the float (which is made of an even lighter cheaper plastic, unlike the original which was made of the same durable ABS), the hinges promptly snapped. This is a terrible, cheap, poorly made knock-off of the original high quality, well designed orignal. Don't waste your money here, find the original, should be more like 5 pounds, not 2 pounds. <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Super-Efficient-Dryer-Vent-Saves-You-up-to-10-on-Energy-Costs/dp/B000BOB1FI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Super-Efficient Dryer Vent Saves You up to 10% on Energy Costs</a>

I purchased this little spin dryer for my motorhome. I knew that the clothes would not actually "dry" while spinning, however, I didn't realize that the clothes would be so nearly dry. It won't hold my husband's huge jeans, but it will spin with anything else I put into it--underwear, blouses, shirts, slacks, swimsuits, etc. I haven't dried more than one or two articles at a time so it only takes one to one and a half minutes for each "load." I also like the hook on the back of the unit to hold the electrical cord and the way the drain hose tucks underneath when I'm ready to put it away. I also own the little Wonder Washer and together these two units keep my clothes clean while we are on the road. Both items are gentle on the clothes. I don't have to lug a huge basket of clothes to the laundromat all the time, so I am saving time and money. I wash and spin dry our clothes in the evening and put them on hangers; the next morning I put the dry clothes into the closet and I'm ready to enjoy another day of traveling or sight-seeing.

I was looking for the replacement filter for the refrigerator I bought 6 months ago and could not find the "00020A" I contacted Samsung customer service via chat and they told me I needed to order from their parts distributor and that I would need to call during regular weekly hours. I persisted by asking what model is compatible and was eventually told this was the compatible filter for my Samsung RF263TEABC French Door Refrigerator. Their website did not list this as the replacement for my model and I was told the website must not have been updated. No big deal. So they confirmed this is the replacement and I got it here, much cheaper and faster. + Tastes Great + Easy Direct Replacement + Month Stickers to Place on New Filter as a Reminder (I put it on the knob) - Reduced water pressure quite a bit. The original pushed water out with much more force. _Bottom Line_ Yes, I would recommend this and I would also recommend contacting Samsung support if there are any questions regarding compatibility. This filter works great, the water tastes good, but the pressure is reduced (at least in my experience). 4 Stars for the drop in pressure.

For the money I think it is OK. I removed a Kobe, we had some problems turning the Kobe on and had no response to help, e-mails. So I bought a Proline. this Proline is half the cost. The Kobe is thicker gauge. The Kobe has nicer lines and better edges. And a lot quieter. But I am compairing it to a item at twice the cost. this may not be fair Cons I had to make a hole saw hole on the right side because that is where my plug is. they could have made a knockout on both sides! The finish is ok but not a good as Kobe Very very loud, com paired to Kobe very thin rivets stickup so it does not sit tight at the top. Pros Was 1" higher and 1" less deep. I liked this Love the buttons in the front where you can see them. we were cooking some Salmon tonight and I turned up the fan, The wife turned it down because it was to loud So if you only had $400. to spend. this is great. My Kobe started to give trouble after 10 years. I think it just needed a new control board, but Kobe would not answer me.

Dew point display was the feature that made me buy this product. It has worked well, has a long battery life, and is accurate. The dew point shows how much humidity I can safely add in the winter without condensation forming on the windows. It also indicates the efficiency of the air conditioner in the summer. "Delta T" (the change in temperature, the temperature of the intake air minus the temperature of the chilled air) shows how much heat the air conditioner is removing. Since the a/c also removes moisture, the dew point tends to be the same as the evaporator plates, which is the temperature of the chilled air. (Unless you live in a dry climate.) So, just noting the difference between the ambient air and dew point indicates the efficiency. It is amazing how much more efficient the a/c is in the morning, when the outside temperature is in the 70s versus how little chilling happens in the afternoon in the 90s. I quit running the a/c in the mid afternoon, and save a few buck on the electricity. It is a fine product. Spread the word about the dew point!

Second time replacing. Very poor design. After reading a post about fixing the issue, I looked for what might have been the real issue. I too noticed on the back the auger screw/rod was protruding too far back causing a deep indention on the back plastic. After looking at other video about replacing the dust cap I noticed it should not protrude too far back. Maybe that needs to be replaced too. Although I didn't order that part and followed the recommendation on another reviewer. I didn't quite understand their instruction but did what I thought was mentioned. I drilled a small 1/16 hole to the dust cap and found the smallest screw I had and screwed it in so that the auger rod could not screw further back than needed. Only time will tell if th is was the real reason for cup to constantly be cracking. *if you had difficulty removing the top part where the tabs had to be pushed in, look at the screw auger rod. * used for a ge cafe side by side.

I have owned and used this washer and matching dryer for 10 years without a problem. I found the mold problem to be very manageable by just wiping down the gasket after each use and of course leaving the door open. I have read that newer versions of this have one or more tubes connected to the main door gasket, I guess to help minimize the mold problem but haven't really verified this. My washer just recently started to shake and smoke and after investigating on the internet determined that the probable cause was a broken spider bracket that is used to stabilize the drum when it is rotating. There is a great U-tube video that clearly shows how to replace it. Sooooo I decided to buy the new spider and replace it myself rather than buy a new washer. After disassembling the unit I was shocked to see how destroyed the spider bracket was. It appears to be made of cast aluminum without any protective coating and corroded beyond belief. Of course then it was broken in several places. The replacement spider bracket that I received is of the same faulty design and so I spray painted it as others had suggested. I still do not have the washer repaired as I had to order some new mounting bolts and am waiting for their delivery. I THINK THAT LG NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS DESIGN PROBLEM AND PROVIDE SOME COMPENSATION FOR ALL CURRENT OWNERS!

Even if I had read the bad reviews, I might have bought this since the bad reviews weren't so bad -- but our experience is BAD. Our whole water system is now broken. I've had this fridge for 7 years, used multiple GE brand filters and never had a problem. With so many good reviews, I bought this one, but also a GE one as a backup. HUGE MISTAKE. When I put it in, it made that horrible, grinding, rattling noise another reviewer described -- and I haven't gotten water out of it since. I immediately put in the new GE filter, and even tried the old GI filter. Nothing. I contacted the company and their claim is that the problem is with my water line. It worked fine before this filter. I'll be getting my money back but now my water/ice system is completely broken and I'm buying water at the store and making ice. ABSOLUTE CRAP. CRIMINAL MISREPRESENTATION. Update: posting a picture. Two hours today working on this, and found the problem. The grinding noise I heard was the filter grinding down the plastic piece that has to be engaged for the water to flow. Replacing this part will cost me $197 at GE, and that's if I do the labor. Save yourself some money and don't buy this filter!!!

Fairly quiet, reasonable to install, and looks great with lots of compliments. I would buy this again. I put this in my kitchen that had a vent and wiring, but had never actually had a range hood installed. I liked that I was able to bridge the gap between black appliances and stainless steel appliances with this model. (still converting some of the appliances) My kitchen is not huge so I wanted a range hood that would not dominate the area and block the view. I have 10 foot ceilings and I was able to hang this 34 inches above the range top which to me was perfect so that you can be on the other side and not have to duck to look at people at the dinner table when entertaining..... or bump my noggin while flippin' hot cakes and burning bacon. I did substitute the 4 frame to ceiling lag screws with bolt head hardware, else I used all the stuff that came with the unit. The LED lights are very bluish and not very bright so I will try to find something that will fix that like some 5050smd pods or whatever. the clock is only 24hr time format but I could totally have done with not having a clock on it at all. I must have 4 clocks in the kitchen when you add it all up ?

We moved to a house and had to adjust to 30" and I thought this was the answer. It isn't ! Don't buy this piece of junk! If you have a skillet or stockpot on the center burner (which is the only one that works decent) the rest are useless. Sorry but 30" is still 30". If that were all I wouldn't write this review over a year after purchase. The grates are too high from the burners. The heat destroys any plastic handles and you need to use an oven mitt with steel. It is an inefficient use of the heat and downright dangerous. I can't explain how bad it is in words. To add insult to injuries, the genius that designed the heavy duty stainless steel knobs wants you to buy lots of them at $30 each. They are attached with extremely cheap plastic mounts that break with the slightest pressure. The pics attached are from the 2 I currently have broken. They literally snapped off when I turn off the burner. I'm not "review guy" but is like to slap whoever green-lighted this stovetop at GE.

I went with this filter because the price was attractive, but soon learned I got what I paid for. Soon after installing and purging air as normal, I noticed water collecting on the freezer drawer below. I considered it a freak accident, wiped up the water, and went about my business. The next day, I noticed another puddle. I made sure the filter was seated correctly and was not cracked or had damage to it. All seemed fine. I wiped up the mess. Later that day, the water was back. I pulled the filter out, turned it upside down, and noticed how easily the water drained from it. This was in comparison to all the other filters I've put in it in the past which didn't leak at all without force. Needless to say I threw the filter away and went and bought a new one made by GE that has been working fine ever since. If I was sent a damaged filter, there was no way to tell. So I'm going to have to say this filter is crap and recommend you don't get suckered in by the price.

My dryer's required part was WE25m40 which only difference from this kit is a flat hole ion square bracket. The hole is to fix thin spring like tentioner but this kit (WE25X205) successfully replaced the WE25m40. Shape and size of each parts fits exactly with my dryer although I had to find an extra volt to fix tentioner after I stripped the volt by applying too much force. Local appliance repair person normally charges $40 for parts and $100~150 for labor to replace this part because this drum bearing is in the very back area of the dryer and entire drum need to be removed in order to replace this bearing kit. It took 40minutes for me to do entire job. Actually 10 minutes to view a repair guide on youtube ([...] and 30 minutes of actual work time. What I spent were $20 (including $7 for overnight shipping with amazon prime), 40minutes, and a bit of sweat by doing some weight lifting (kidding). Overall, I am satisfied with this kit.

I bought a Waste King model 8000 to replace the 15 year old InSinkErator in this house. Unfortunately the only discharge tube supplied with the Waste King was a 90 degree bend. To use it as-is I would have had to create a much longer series of pipes that included 360 degrees of turns to mate up with the original drain system. So I bought this InSinkErator flexible discharge tube. I was very skeptical that it would work because right through the packaging I could see that the metal bracket would not fit over the plastic flange. Furthermore the packaging clearly states that this product is for certain InSinkErator models. Then I read about softening the plastic in hot water and forcing the metal bracket over the softened plastic. That worked just fine. You don't need to heat the plastic up much. 30 seconds in very hot water should do it. Put the metal part on first. Now which way does the black neoprene gasket fit? Clearly there is an internal groove that fits over the white plastic flange, but there are two ways to install it. Notice that one side of the black plastic has a thin lip but the other side lacks that. Install the black plastic such that the thin lip faces the corrugated part of the tube. It will serve to center the metal part properly with respect to the black neoprene.

Paired with the Wonder Washer, it does the job. I no longer use the laundry room in the apartment building. I couldn't be happier about saving over $350.00 (in quarters) a year. I wash all my clothes, (except heavy towels and sheets) in the Wonder Washer, spin dry and then hang them on racks and hangers to dry. I am 61, live alone and have arthritis in my hand, neck and shoulders. The spin dryer is fabulous, eliminating the excess water in the clothes. I still work full time as a florist, so my clothes do get dirty. I love being able to wash a few things at a time. I will not go back to using dark, dirty, expensive laundry rooms. Granted, it may take a little longer, than using washers and dryers, but it is so worth it, not to use dirty public washers and dryers, that are "out of order" half the time. If anything were to happen to my little spin dryer, from Laundry Alternatives, I would not hesitate a moment to buy another one. I am so pleased about not having to carry and drag laundry outside, and down dangerous brick steps. Nor do I have to get up super early on my day off, to try and beat the other tenants to the laundry room. It is a cleaner, less expensive, and less stressful option for doing laundry.

I really liked this combination probe. I have several thermometers and one other humidity probe, but having both together in a sturdy package is very nice. I've been using this probe in my basement to make sure the humidity stays in a good level to reduce the chance of mold. Most people said the humidity reading was instantaneous, but I found I had to wait a couple of minutes for it to stabilize. I probably was in a couple of percentage points quickly, but I like to be exact. The temperature measurement was very quick though, stabilized in a couple of seconds. I really like that the temperature probe is able to be put down into ductwork so I can measure the AC temperature in the duct and not wait until it mixes with the room air. The unit appears very sturdy and well made, there is a carrying case included to keep it from getting banged up. I would recommend adding this to your test arsenal if you have a need for measuring humidity and temperature.

I love this darling little machine and the darling little dryer I bought with it. The hose without the extra attachments that came with it connected to my tub, which is fitted with a hand-held shower head. So try that first, before adding the extra parts that come with it. I went to the hardware store to get a hose-splitter so I can keep both connected at all times. I just turn the knob to direct water to the washing machine or the shower head, whichever Im using. Make sure to keep the outlet hose raised as you see how Ive hooked it up in the picture. The hook came with it. If you leave it on the floor of the tub, it could create a vaccuum effect and drain water while the washing machine is filling, which tricks it into continuosly adding water. Easy solution, just raise the hose up, so you don't accidentally create suction. It works beautifully. I really love the 3 different water levels to chose from. You can literally wash only your delicates and under garments separate from other clothes without feeling guilty for wasting water. The spin cycle doesnt make much noise at all. I positioned the machine so that its not touching anything else, and is sitting squarely on a bath mat. This keeps it stable and sturdy so that I don't hear the spin cycle. If I shut my bathroom door, I hardly hear the machine at all, but can still hear the beep when its done.

Wife is happy. I am happy. I used the motor only to fix trouble codes and slow draining. Motor twist locks off of strainer assembly. i recommend using plumbers grease on o-ring to perform this. It will allow the motor to be replaced without turning the washer over to remove the mounting screws associated with the mount. Unit was significantly cheaper than the Sears parts website. make sure motor part number on old unit matches this one exactly. installing this myself saves over $100 in labor and took all of 30 minutes. 1. Unplug washer 2. Remove cover at bottom of washer 3. Open strainer and drain and remove debris. 4. Unplug the wiring harness from the old motor. Carefully place it off to side. 5. Untwist old motor and remove. Clean the strainer surface with a foam swab or clean towel. 6. lubricate new motor and install motor with slight pressure and twisting motion. 7. plug in wiring harness into new motor. 8. plug in washer and run test rinse cycle. (check for leaks and error codes) 9. install bottom cover

We selected Electrolux appliances when we built our new home. Soon after moving in we noticed that the wall oven had circular scratches on the porcelain bottom liner. We notified our builder and they in turn got in contact with the dealer they purchased the oven from. After several visits from the dealer's service department, we were notified that they will not be fixing the oven. I contacted Electrolux directly with the hope that they will address this manufacturing issue. Unfortunately, I was told that since I did not contact them within 60 days, it was not covered in their warranty. The customer service rep was rude and short. I explained that the Electrolux dealer was notified of the problem within 60 days even though we did not contact Electrolux ourselves. Just yesterday, our Electrolux dishwasher (EW24ID80QS) stopped working. It is constantly making a sucking noise as if it is trying to clear water but there is no water in the dishwasher to empty. I shut off the power to the dishwasher to reset it but it keeps making the suction noise as soon as the power is turned on. None of the buttons on the panel seems to work. I am dreading the call to Electrolux customer support. Wish me luck.

We were looking for a modern double oven to replace our 20 year old unit and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. In looking for reviews on this GE oven, I found only a couple, mostly favorable. We also looked at similar ovens from Whirlpool and Maytag, both of which had many more reviews. What stood out with the other brands were complaints about how noisy they were. One person described the noise like an airplane taxiing in their kitchen! I didn't even know these new ovens had fans, as they are not convection, and our old oven had no moving parts whatsoever. Nervous about this noise issue, I ordered the GE since none of the five reviewers even mentioned noise. Well, I'm here to tell you, this oven is QUIET. Yes, like all these modern ovens, it has a cooling fan that continues to run even when the oven is turned off, but it is a very faint, soft noise, not a bother at all. I was relieved!

This unit is nicely styled to be as unobtrusive as possible so you could use it anywhere in your house and it's rounded edges are nice if you have kids running around. It was easy to install although a bit heavy to move upstairs where we needed to use it. This really helped with a room that we just can't seem to keep cool without the rest of the house being freezing cold. It would be great if you enclosed a porch or patio and needed to cool a space that has no duct work. It is easy to install and simple to operate. As long as you have a window and an electrical outlet near where you want to use it, you are all set. ADDITIONAL INFO (8/31): Last night our air conditioning broke down and upstairs was like a toaster (Florida in August). We slept downstairs but my daughter was happy to have the air conditioner in her room. In the middle of the night, upstairs was so cool I could sleep in our room comfortably too. We were so glad to have this unit!

We have been using this cook top for about 7 months now, and I absolutely love it! We had a 25 year old electric range before this so it was like going from a junker to a porche! The unit is incredibly responsive, I can go from a hard boil to a gentle simmer in a matter of seconds, with our old unit I would have to change burners to do this! It is incredibly fast, just a few short minutes to boil water for pasta. It is very easy to clean, most often I only use water but maybe once a week I use the cook top cleaner. I have read some complaints about the noise and I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. When simmering or cooking on a lower temperature I don't even notice the sound. When using a larger pot/higher temperature is makes a gentle humming sound. Most of my cookware works with this (Le Crueset, cast iron), the few pieces that I did need I picked up at Ikea which were very inexpensive and have worked wonderfully. I highly recommend this product and would definitely purchase again!

Had an issue where our dishwasher was not draining. After checking many possibilities turns out this check valve had deteriorated/failed, with the round part becoming detached and blocking the drain hose. Once we removed the broken parts and replaced with this part, dishwasher now functioning perfectly. So the part as ordered worked exactly as intended -- but I gotta say, what a ridiculously engineered part -- our dishwasher is only 5 years old, and looking at the construction of this part we believe it's only a matter of time before it will fail again. Guarantee 90% of owners would likely have encountered this problem, assumed a pump failure, and simply gone out and purchased a new dishwasher. This wimpy part causes what seems like a significant issue when it fails, and it's clear it will only continue to fail. Also - for a part that probably takes 5 cents to produce, the cost for this small piece of rubber seems incredibly excessive - but such is the parts business.

The plastic handle slips off. It is not usable. Not white either, is is ivory...which wouldn't bother me if it worked. The first one I got was the cheaper one (cost approx 12.75 before shipping. It was the one that arrived broken. Tried to find item at a local appliance parts store but the clerk seemed very uncertain that what they would fit b/c they did not have the exact number. So I decided to try amazon again, got one with a company with better reviews -- Whirlpool Dryer Lint Screen Filter 8557882, Sold by Appliance Care Store This one works perfectly! And it is white, not ivory. When it came, it was not folded up like the first one. Looks to be a better quality than the first one I got too. It was slightly more expensive than the first but worth it. So second one is 5 stars but first is 1 star. Wish they had these products listed as different items b/c they are not exactly the same.

We recently purchased this fridge to store beer, wine and water as these items were taking up too much room in our kitchen fridge. We got an awesome lightning deal and only paid about $150. We took Ken Dugal's advise (see review from February 28, 2017) and adjusted the thermostat screw behind the cover on the back before plugging in the fridge. Our drinks are now very cold at 36 degrees and that is with the temperature knob set in the middle. It was down below freezing before we adjusted the temperature knob. We put a thermometer in the fridge overnight before we put in any drinks. That way we could adjust without freezing anything. We also purchased a small table to put the fridge on so that it is easier to get drinks out of the bottom. They must have changed the spacing of rungs on the racks, because you no longer need mats to put on the shelves so that the bottles/cans don't tilt. We love the fridge thus far. It is perfect for what we wanted!

I installed the drain replacement and time will tell if it allows the defrosted ice to flow to the evaporator tray. The old flume was frozen in the tray and part of the tray that hold the old and new part broke. The new part installed just like it was shown in the instructions, easy if you have good access to the rear of the Refrig. You still need to clear the ice behind the metal backing of the Refirg as well as clear the drain hole of the ice. If you don't then you will still have water flowing out of the freezer when it is defrosting. There are video on the web" You Tube" on taking the freezer door off and removing racks and panels to get to the drain, drain tray and coils to melt the ice. You may want to consider outside help for the defrosting. After studying the videos it took me about 2.5 hrs to do it all. Good Luck You Do It Yourselfers.

I'd give it negative stars if I could. This DW came brand new with the house we purchased 1.5 yrs ago. We have city water, and eventually bought a $5000 water purification system that feeds into all water in the house - and STILL this dishwasher can't do the job! I literally hand wash dishes before putting them into the DW and they sometimes come out dirtier. I've tried Jetdry, no Jetdry, more/less detergent, expensive/cheap detergent, varying degrees of food on dishes...no luck. It's been like this since we got the house and before and after installing the purification system. Another infuriating thing that happens is that the top basket's track comes off of the plastic wheels attached to the wall. This requires you to have to clear both top/bottom baskets out of the DW, get waist deep in the DW with a flathead screwdriver to fight to remove some stubborn cap off the back end of the track so you can feed it back onto the wheels, and then with brute force, cap the back end of the track once it's on the wheels (Oh, I know this probably doesn't make sense unless you've had the misfortune). Don't be fooled by this DW's stainless steel looks. The top basket has always been loose, everything is of cheap quality and there are clearly way too many design flaws as evidenced by my complaints and others.

Been having this dryer with matching washer for the last 3 years now and it's great. I prefer to wash small loads of clothes every day to every other day so it's definitely had some use. Very large and drys huge loads with a large assortment of different settings. Has no problem fitting my huge king size feather filled comforter that I had was too large for my last washer and dryer and had to be taken to the cleaners. The quick dry works exactly as it should and it's what I mostly use since I do loads nearly everyday. The Quick dry setting has no issues drying a pair of jean, along with a couple pairs of shirts, socks, and underwear all in under 15 minutes. The steam setting is probably my favorite and perfect when you need to quickly remove some wrinkles without ironing, and it also has a "Pet Bedding" setting as well which I use to wash both of our pet's beds. It comes with a large plastic insert tray that goes inside the dryer in the very center allowing allowing you to dry shoes or other heavy, or delicate items items without them tumbling all around inside the drum. I can fit up to three pairs of size 12 shoes on the plastic tray without any problems. Just wishing I would have purchased the bottom stands now when I bought the washer and dryer. It seems impossible to find just the stands now.

Amazon's part selector where you enter your model number (in my case a Maytag MSD2651HEB) and then it tells you if this will fit your fridge told me NO... this part is not for my fridge. WRONG. Glad I read the reviews, if you've got a dual-door Maytag that's around 10 years old this model works perfectly. The only thing I needed to do to get it to fit the fill tube properly is cut a small piece of plastic that looks like it should be perforated for removal but isn't. I used a razor blade to remove it, an exacto knife or scissors will work just as well. The piece looks like it was designed to be removed but wasn't perforated at the factory and had to be cut out to fit my fill tube. Everything else is self-explanatory to install (you will need to keep your old wiring harness). Installed it, turned my freezer down as cold as possible (temporarily to get it going) and I had new ice within a couple of hours. Turned my freezer back to my normal level and haven't had a problem since. GREAT alternative to spending 2 or 3 times as much for a stock part.

1 Year later and this thing is still awesome, it just produced two beers that were cold enough to make me write a review! We were looking at a $900 GE and decided to try our luck with this at 468 last year. If you read good reviews youll pick up a few tips, heres what i did, first cut out the sides of the cabinets you are sliding it in-between, even a 2'1' hole helps a ton. Mine is a triple drawer base cabinet on one side and a big sink main base cabinet on the other so i cut out big rectangular holes. Next, don't over fill or leave empty, don't cram 50 warm drinks in and crank it to max cool either, once it gets cool your good, mine stays at 37 degrees dead set unless i leave the door open a bit long or add a lot of room temp drinks then maybe 38-39 tops. We have water bottles at the very bottom then a box of Capri suns and then 6-8 beers, which unfortunately don't stand up well on the wire racks other than that we love it!!!!!!!

Full disclosure I bought my range from another retailer when it went on sale but I wanted to review since there are so few. The range looks awesome, and the five burners on the 36 in are perfect for cooking for a crowd and canning fitting my large pots perfectly. The large oven is nice to have. The drawbacks: I had to have an electrician upgrade my outlet and a plumber install a new gas line to accommodate the specs on the range, we were renovating at the time so not a huge deal, but unexpected. The issues I have had was the delivery expected me to come and get the stove at the end of my driveway and bring it to the house myself, for such an expensive item they could do better here. Also the service from Eurochef who is responsible for the warranty work in the US has been terrible, I mean really really poor. My oven started acting up a few weeks after instal, fan running but no heat. They send out a tech that I had to wait over a week for, and he had never worked on Verona before. It ultimately took 3 service calls and multiple calls to Eurochef to resolve. In the end I like the product but knowing what I know about how bad the warranty service is, I would spend your money elsewhere.

I first looked at this machine because it was touted as energy-saving. No heating element. Uses the heat from your hot water. Not food disposer. Just a filter that you have to clean. Well, let me tell you...I'll pay the extra $50 a year in energy savings to get a dishwasher that WASHES DISHES! Yes, the unit is extremely quiet, good looking, and energy effecient. But it doesn't do what it intended to do. Clean your dishes! I've tried every combo of detergent and rinse agent, and my dishes are still filmed. Within the same load, some are spotless and some are filthy. It make no sense. And then there is the stench! Everyone else has mentioned it, and it's true. After 2 days of non-use, this thing start to really stink. Bosch had great intentions with this unit, but in reality, it doesn't work. Just find something else.

Like someone else said, the filters came FOLDED in a small envelop. For this price, they could have at least put them in a regular sized envelop. Shipping was one day late but I don't necessarily fault the seller for that. The product is as described but I really feel ripped off. I mean, come on, twenty something dollars for 4 of these and on odd-shaped filter? I bought them because I had no choice. I couldn't find them anywhere else but I will try making my own out of felt next time. For this price, there should have been a box full of them (at least 10 to 15) and they are paper thin, as one other reviewer pointed out, and weigh next to nothing, so that sure saves the seller on shipping costs. So, my main complaint is not with the product, per se, but with the cost of the product. I can't see how throwing in a few more filters would hurt the seller (cost-wise) and would make for happier customers. On a side note, I have found that using a lint brush, after each setting, really prolongs that life of these things. However, using the lint brushes gets expensive too.

This item arrived well packaged. No install instructions are necessary, FIRST.. manualy trip the circuit breaker to your dishwasher, thn simply open up the front panel of the dishwasher using a phillips screwdriver, and remove the old control panel. Install the new one, and hook up the connectors (plugs are already installed) and re-energize the circuit breaker and turn the unit on. My original touch-button panel was likely OVER-pressed (someone in the family thinks that if pressing the button lightly is good...then pressing it repeatedly and HARD must be better)...and damaged the switch membranes. At least that was my HOPE. I took a chance and ordered this after the "reboot" instructions from the original dishwasher installation manual no longer worked. (Read your manual. It has you press "heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, normal wash to re-set the computer." IF that doesn't work...then this panel may work for you. It did for me. HAPPY! VERY VERY HAPPY.

This combo fit my whirlpool dryer, leq9508pw1, perfectly. I looked up the replacement model numbers on the whirlpool website before ordering. My dryer was turning, but producing no heat. I do not routinely do handy work around the house, but I either had to attempt to fix this myself or wait over a week for a repairman. Prior to ordering the item I watched a YouTube video to gage the difficulty of the project, and it really seemed pretty easy. I had the dryer back taken off and the old heating element out within 10 minutes. I ran into a bit of dificulty putting the thermometer and heating element together. I would have liked to see the thermometer installed in the heater element since they were sold together. It took me a few minutes to put the two together and I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers. After that step, it was another 10 minutes to put everything back together and close the back of the dryer. All in all, the project only took about 30 minutes. I was happy to fix my dryer for under $25 since a repairman would have charged over $100. I will update my review if I find any problems with the product.

I got this kegerator in December 2011 and I've been happy with how cold it keeps the beer. However, there are a lot of problems with this kegerator: 1. Really poor quality casters. This isn't a huge deal but because they have a ridge down the center and no give, they left lines in our floor when rolled. 2. Moderately loud burbling noise when on. Kind of annoying, but not a dealbreaker. 3. The compressor has steadily gotten louder and louder and is now *extremely* annoying. This is the reason for the 1-star review. About 4 months after we started using this kegerator, the compressor started to get a lot more noticeable when it clicks on. This is in an adjacent room from our living room, so it was a little annoying. Now it's really loud. You can hear it throughout the first floor of our house. Unless you're keeping this thing in a garage or basement, this unit is probably too loud. I'm looking into spending more money on a higher quality kegerator now.

I have owned GE appliances for all of my adult life. Prior to moving to Florida, we did a whole-house remodel in CA and used all GE Profile appliances including an induction cook-top and two convection ovens. It was wonderful. We didn't want to begin another remodel so we decided to purchase this slide-in model. The cook-top works like a dream but the convention oven is anything but. The oven has a temp fluctuation of +/- 25 degrees. That can be a 50 degree range. And GE's idea of convection cooking has nothing to do with true convection. The fan only runs until the oven reaches the set temp! Now I thought something was broken - but NO - the GE repairman assured me that everything was operating as designed. It's a crock - and to call this induction is FALSE ADVERTISING!!! We will never by anything with a GE brand on it again. BUYER BEWARE.

Got this for a long term RV trip. I am amazed by what this unit can do. It has been able to handle a couple of huge bath towels without a hickup. I would get cramps trying to wring out a small amount of clothing and when I would hang the hand wrung items on a line they would start dripping after a few minutes. Not with this spinner! Just a few minutes and the clothes come out almost dry. Never any drips on the line after using this. I like the simplicity of this unit. Stuff, close lid it starts, open lid it stops, remove almost dry stuff. I don't even worry about doing any wringing before I put the wet things in the spin dryer. I have a system when I have to do more than one load of laundry. Do my first batch, throw it in the dryer, collect some of the water from the dryer to add to my second wash. (hate to waste soap, and water!) Do my second wash, dump my wash water, put the dried laundry into my first rinse water while I dry my second batch of washed items. Then repeat the rinse process. Just for curiosity I ran laundry in the Nina out of a HE washer and found I could reduce the drying time for my HE dryer!

I'm running my first load now, it started right up, no issues with the band coming off during transit and it's heating up just fine. It's considerably quiet too! My cat looked at it for a couple of minutes and just walked right by it not scared at all and he hates loud noises. I am giving this four out of five stars because the back panel does not sit completely flat and it comes right up to the edge and I can assure you it is VERY SHARP! I was trying to move it into place and my hand slipped and the edge of the back panel sliced right down the edge of my thumb through my fingernail and skin (gross I know, but hopefully this will make sure you're careful if you grab around the back of the unit) and left me with metal splinters in my hand. Unfortunately because it's larger than I had anticipated, I am going to have to move it again... When I do, I will be padding the edges of the back panel and using straps since my petite arms don't quite wrap around the unit all the way.

Are you a DIYer? Are you handy? Are you somewhat familiar with PEX? If so, you can do your own plumbing projects. PEX is easy to use and pretty forgiving of mistakes. The key here is using Sharkbite items with your PEX. I recently installed a new laundry area in our downstairs. I checked on having the work done and it was going ot be almost $1000 for the running of the new water lines, installing a washer box, drain, etc. I read up on the requirements to meet code and ordered this washer box along with the other parts I needed. This washer box is very well built and sturdy. It is highly flexible, allowing you to install it either from a top water feed or bottom water feed. You simply have to reverse the location of the valves. It has three separate knockouts for drains. The knockouts punch out easily and with little effort. The connections are push in connectors which are very easy to use, simply cut your PEX, debur, make sure your cut is straight and insert into the valve. If you mess up, no worries, just press the ring around the valve and pull the PEX out. I cannot recommend this any higher for a great looking laundry job.

This dryer is okay. The size is perfect. It came without any dents or scratches like some of the reviews mentioned. The only issue I have with this dryer so far is that it takes a LONG time. I find that the portable washer load size is not compatible to the dryer. I ended up hang drying half of my load and using the dryer for the other half. Also, I recommend ventilating this dryer. The whole room was like a sauna while it was running. It has to run on the high heat setting, the other settings are not efficient. If you are using a portable washer, spinning the clothes for the maximum time and then using the dryer helps cut a bit of the time! Overall, not a bad purchase. Update: 4/26/18-This dryer has completely stopped working. Not sure what is going on with it. Update 6/10/18-The replacement dryer stopped working this evening. There is a possibility that it overheats. I tried it again 30 minutes later and it started working again. Its weird. Im wondering if Im doing something wrong...

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

I bought this machine years ago and I just wanted to take a minute to tell everyone - THIS MACHINE SUCKS! I hate my washing machine. It is all moldy, mildewy, and stinky. I have to buy extra products that claim to clean it, but nothing works anyway. Sometimes the smell will seem reduced, but then my daughter will do a load and forget to leave the door open and we're back to square 1. The machine normally has the door open which is right in the way of the exit from the house to the garage, so the door is always banging around and hitting things. That is the only way to keep the stink to a lower level -- but even with that the smell never goes away. The other day it was making a weird noise and I actually felt happy that the machine might be breaking so that I could replace it. It was so expensive that I didn't want to replace it earlier and I contacted LG and couldn't get a refund. Guess it's time to bite the bullet and trash this thing. I wouldn't even offer to give it away for $0 on Craigslist. No one should be saddled with this terrible washing machine. I will never buy another LG appliance. There is no way that their engineers didn't know that they were selling a faulty, defective, terrible product.

Bought this because the bellow on my Whirlpool Front Load washer Model# WFW9050XW00 started to mold and tear. Anyway this is the 3rd bellow that I have had on my washer however this is the first that I purchased and installed independently. First of all $70 for a rubber ring is sad, however it was either this or a new washer (which will be soon, because I HATE front load washers). Anyway, installation was fairly easy because there are a bunch of youtube videos out there that tell you what screws to locate and remove to take apart the front panels of the washer. I found that the most difficult part was the outer retaining ring that is held together with a spring, you definitely need some channel locks or pliers to expand the spring enough to go around the outer lip around the barrel opening. As far as the product, it is of good quality and fit so thumbs up for that, boo on the price.

My washer broke again. We only do 47 loads of laundry a dayhow could our dryer possibly break down? After diagnosing the problem, the dreaded coils were at faultagain. Locally, these buggers are expen$ive. Last time I purchased them, I remortgaged the house and bought the lifetime replacement coils from our appliance repair store only to have them go out of business a month later. Im thinking the appliance repair center finalized their purchase of a small Bermuda Island with just the money I forked over to them for coils. When I purchased the lifetime coilsthat must have been the closing cost that they needed. These coils were a direct fit for our Whirlpool dryer. Fit and installation was a breeze and we were again able to wash & dry the 73 different daily outfit changes for our kids. It has been almost a year now and the appliance is still going strong. What a relief. Great quality here and it is passing the rigorous torture test in our home. That should say enough for anyone to jump in and buy a set. I really cannot say enough good things and the price is terrific to boot. All in all, give these a try! FYI: Our Whirlpool gas dryer is a model # WGD5840SW

As the title says, it works as advertised. It's a direct replacement for the bad bearing. This can be done with one man, but a second set of hands to help hold the carriage bolt on the outside of the drum is helpful. 15-30 minute job if you're handy with tools at all. Make sure you have the tools necessary on hand to speed up the process. Watched a video (link provided by another reviewer) prior to starting and didn't have any issues. Tools needed: 1) Phillips screw driver 2) 22mm extra thin walled deep socket (7/8" socket will work fine, that's what we used) 3) 5mm Allen wrench All in all extremely satisfied. Our Fisher Paykel washer/dryer combo is right at six years old, but it sees a LOT of duty (I do laundry at least once a day, not including sheets, etc.) If I have to replace the bearing every 5-7 years I can live with that as we absolutely love the top load dryer.

This thing is a life saver and is absolutely huge. Which I love! Im able to do almost a full load of laundry with each run I do. The pump is phenomenal and the agitator is extremely powerful. There are a few things I don't like which is why I can only do 4 stars. The first thing is the lint trap is completely useless. I take it out every load, and I might fine 1 hair in there every now and then. The power chord is too short. If the out let isn't close to the floor youll need an extension chord at least for my bathroom set up. The top where the knobs are gets water in it for some reason. Not a big deal but I fear for mold one day?? The water inlet hose is completely useless, it does do the job, but the time it takes to actually fill the tub is beyond too long. I just use a bucket. The last and final thing is the drain hose. I drain the water into the toilet so I don't risk a drain clog in my sink or tub. The hose just isn't long enough if you need it to reach the other side of your washer, thankfully a $6 extender worked wonders. All in all this thing is a beauty. I do not regret my purchase at all

We brought this to replace a five-year-old high-end Frigidaire unit with front-loading washer. The Frigidaire had developed bearing problems in the washer drum (common to this model) and made a horrendous racket in spin cycle. Frigidaire doesn't supply the bearings alone; one has to replace the entire drum assembly for around $500 including installation labor. Additionally, the Frigidaire had very small capacity, especially in the washer. The new GE unit overcomes both these problems; and in addition is very quiet while operating...much more so that our previous unit even before the bearing problems. A few other reviews of this product complained about kit damaging clothes, but we haven't had this problem. In fact, the only deficiency we've identified is that it lacks a buzzer or other signal that the dryer is finished. If it had one we'd give it a maximum rating. Installation was very straightforward and took only about 45 minutes. We love it!

Looked at a number of cooktops. We decided to go Bosch all the way, and also got Bosch wall oven and dishwasher too. This is the best 30" cooktop out there. All the other 5 burner designs we looked at are useless because, yes you technically get 5 burners, but they're all so small and crammed together you'd be better with just the standard 4 burner. The Bosch 5 burner is the only one that's really thought-though the layout.. The main centre burner is really hot. The grates are heavy and substantial looking. They'll get good and greasy over time and never be cleaned :). And the knobs are metal not plastic so the whole thing looks high-end. (sidenote: A salesperson tried to sell us a Dacor cooktop that was far more expensive, but fortunately i looked at the reviews and thought to stay away from Dacor. A friend bought a Dacor stovetop and the igniter stopped working in months.).

Do not buy from Maytag. We bought our top of the line 5000 series in 2008. We have had the sud/ f35 error twice. We use HE detergent only and the correct amount. The first time the repair required a new sensor, $400 with parts and labor. The new sensor lasted 3 years and now we have the same error again. Repair came out to diagnose the problem. They said we needed another new sensor, the same part. Technician said that it's a very common problem with Maytag. They ordered the part and when they came back to install it, the new technician said that it wasn't the sensor but rather the entire control board that needs to be replaced. One glitch he said that they don't make the control boards anymore! Another $145 for the service call. Luckily he agreed to take the $200 new sensor back and not charge me. I have a top load machine at another home that lasted over 20 years with not one issue. Maytag customer service is no help at all...I'm sure they get many angry and disappointed customers calling everyday.

We've owned this dishwasher for one year. Four repair calls so far . . . one of those repairs was an installation error, so that's forgivable. But the other three were for leaks that caused the instrument panel to flash, with all lights blinking. The "all lights blinking" error is so common for this Electrolux dishwasher (just check the Internet) that, ta-da, it's part of the lore of the model. If you buy one, beware--you will likely undergo the same issue. Luckily we bought the extended four-year warranty or we'd be up a leaky dishwasher creek without a paddle. So every few months, it happens again, we call the repair service, they come and fix it, it works a few more months, ad nauseum. Whatever is up with this model, Electrolux needs to do better or they will face a class-action lawsuit. We paid $1000 for this defective dishwasher. Sadly, when the machine is working, I love it--it cleans effectively, it's whisper quiet, it's an EnergySaver, and it has a ton of features. C'mon, Electrolux--all that engineering you put into designing the thing and you neglect to make it leak-resistant? For shame.

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.

Never, ever purchase this product or you will have the months of aggravation that I have experienced... I had a wonderful Maytag stackable which was perfect... had it for 15 years without an issue and then moved. I was unlucky enough to move into a home with the Frigidaire, brand new. Lint and dust cover the opening of the machine after every cycle. The lint goes into the open area under the door (WTF???? an open area above the lint trap when door is closed--are you kidding?) and I literally have to clean around the door, INTO the door and around the opening and into the lint trap before I even get the clothes out or lint will go all over clothing. This isn't the worst of it... clothes take hours to dry... What a piece of dog doo.... I will take the hit and buy another Maytag. Did they even beta test this dud... probably not and I'm sure the "engineers" have never done a load in their life to let this lemon come to market. insult to injury, I have to give one star....

I received and used this little guy last night. Came in perfect condition, does have that slight odor another reviewer mentioned. But not too bad. Use much less soap so we'll save some money there as well. Washed a full set of sheets which came out pretty much dry. I'd say after 15min of hang drying, they were completely dry and ready to put back on the bed. I bought the hose attachments, but honestly, if you have a shower arm, you can just save the money and use that to fill the washing tank. That's what I ended up doing. You do have to walk back and forth a few times, as the entire process takes exactly 15min of wash time and 5min of spin time, but I'd much rather do it in the comforts of my own home then spend a day at the Laundromat. Also, I live in a walk-up apartment in NYC, so this saves me a lot of hassle. I do recommend a little lint trap, mine is still 'en route' so I will review that once I receive it. Thanks Giantex for making our lives A LOT easier!

This thing is GREAT! I have about a 24 foot dryer exhaust pipe running between floors in my house. I bought this and 12 ft of extension. I carefully read some of the reviews and made sure I slowly inserted the fiberglass poles, after insuring they were tight and wrapped with duct tape. You do NOT want to reverse direction of your drill when using this. I can not imagine having to retrieve a pole that has disconnected and is inside the pipe. The only problem I had was starting from outside the house and running the dryer so it would blow lint out as I went. I found since mine was so clogged I actually created a damn of lint near the dryer inside the vent. This was where the vent pipe took a turn up. However, after determining the cause I went into the house and used the supplied cutter attachment and slowly proceeded towards the outside of the house. I could feel the clog and soon the cutter had made its way thru the blockage. Using a leaf blower I inserted it into the vent from the interior and two softball size lint balls blew out. System cleared!!! All is good. Just be sure to take your time and do not reverse your drill.

I bought it to use the remote sensor in my cigar humidor so I wouldn't have to lift the lid every day to check the humidity. The readings were never even in the same ballpark as reality. I compared it against my calibrated digital hygrometer in the humidor. It swung wildly up and down, but at its best it was at least 20% off on humidity and 10 degrees in temperature. Usually it was more like 30 - 40% off. I had figured that if it wasn't accurate enough for the humidor, I could at least use as an indoor/outdoor thermometer as it is intended. However, it is so inaccurate that's its useless even for that. Even the "indoor" part is usually pretty far off. Unfortunately, I kept it too long (3 months) to return it, hoping it would eventually settle down, but it never got any better. I hate to be wasteful, but since it serves no function other then taking up physical space, it is going in the garbage. Do NOT waste your money.

As the title states, the fan in this range hood is much, much better than the fan we had in the fan/microwave combo. We did a lot of searching and research and the fan motors with the combo units are not as powerful. So we had really hoped for a great fan when we installed range hood only unit. While it is better than before, I still find I have to run it for a long time or in combination with opening the kitchen window (brrr, in the winter!) to get odors out of the kitchen. The plus side is the fan is also much quieter than expected. When we have it turn on half power, it can easily pull a paper towel up to it. And the noise level between half power and full is negligible. It also looks very nice. We don't have the configuration in the kitchen for a really big fan or a modern curved look. This looks really nice above our stainless gas stove/oven. While I would buy this again, I only wish it had a little more power.

Women always say men don't listen. But, I did. And apparently this time it didn't go over well with my wife. You see, our silverware basket was basically wore out. When closing the dishwasher, the door on the basket would flip open. This annoyed my wife like nothing else. So, I decided that instead of giving it an easy "man fix"... grab a few bread bag ties and semi-permanently close the door on the basket... I'd order her a new one for Christmas. As she opened it up this past Christmas morning, the look on her face was priceless. I thought, "she LOVES it, you listened to her and she's going to be SO thankful". My thoughts were wrong. What was a look of joy quickly turned to disgust and hearing her say "you REALLY got me a silverware basket?" made my heart sink. So a lesson to all guys. NEVER, ever listen to the lady in your life again. If she's asking for a new silverware basket, get her a cat. If she wants a new set of dishes, get her an all inclusive trip to Mexico. Alway think opposite of what she really wants. I did receive a text while at work a few days after Christmas from my wife saying "well, the door on the basket stays shut now!". It works fantastic. I give the product 5 stars.

I rarely enter comments in these message boards but I wanted to say this worked for me too. I felt a little uneasy about buying the rods - what if it didn't work. I'd be out $50.00 or have to go thru the hassle of returning them to the vendor. But I really didn't want to pay a repairman $200.00. So I took a chance and I must say it worked better than I expected. The washer seems to be quieter now than it ever did. It was somewhat of a pain to get the lid up and to prop it up (I tied it up). Getting the rods out actually is easier with two people. My wife pulled them out while I pushed the drum out of the way. When putting the new ones in I pulled up on the rods to get then in place while she pushed the drum. We couldn't even figure out how we got them out but they did come out pretty easily. All in all it was great saving some money and getting a good result too!

I was VERY skeptical of this product after reading several reviews alleging this was somehow a counterfeit product. Long story short, this product is just as advertised and works perfectly. A few reviews I read mentioned that OEM filters are made in Korea, compared to this "counterfeit" which is made in Mexico. When I opened the box, the first thing I did was check to see where it was made. This product is indeed made in Mexico, so I was highly disappointed at first and fully expected to have to send this back. But I took out my OEM filter to replace with this one, and to my surprise, the original product in my refrigerator was also made in Mexico. After seeing this, I decided to give it a try. I listened very closely for any "strange noises" coming from the fridge that other reviewers said occurred when using this filter. Nothing. There were no strange sounds, no lack of water pressure, absolutely nothing happened, and there was no change to my fridge after installing with this Amazon product. My only guess is that people are not choosing the correct part number for their refrigerator. Samsung doesn't make it super easy to find the exact model numbers of their units, so maybe this is the cause of the bad reviews. If you match your model number with this filter, you will have no problems with this product. Highly recommended, especially for the low price compared to local retail stores.

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.

This was a perfect fit for my InSinkErator Disposal Model No. 555SS! I cut off the old baffle, slid this one in and voila! Done! Not more than a 5 minute installation. When my old baffle finally disintegrated after 13 years of use, I was dismayed when told (by the less informed) that I would have to replace the entire disposal (which had nothing wrong with it) just to get a new baffle. I was beyond relieved to discover this product, shocked at the no-risk price and overjoyed at how well it's doing the job! This product works with more than just InSinkErator's "Badger" disposal as noted in the description. Listed on the label are also the following models: 444, 555SS, 777SS, 60S, 80S, 100SS, Pro 333, Pro SS, Pro 77, and Evergrind Accessory.

This is a big waste of money. When the package arrived it was shrink wrapped. As soon as I took the shrink wrap off, the items fell all over the floor because there was hardly anything left of the box. I took all the items out and put them together only to find that the plug was European so I needed to purchase an adaptor to use it in the United States. I went to Walmart and spent another $11,00 for the adaptor. I proceeded to put it together only to find that the hole in the bag was too high so that the blower could not sit level on the floor. It looked like it needed a piece if hose, but it didn't come with one. The hole in the bag was also too large to keep the plastic end of the blower in the bag tightly. I turned the blower on and it hardly blew out any air. I turned it off, then back on, and the knob fell off. I couldn't get it back on because it broke. I could have made a better clothes dryer by using a hamper and a blow dryer which is pretty much what this is, but doesn't work as well!
