Summit : FFBF285SS 13.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Stainless Steel w/o Ice

Summit : FFBF285SS 13.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Stainless Steel w/o Ice
  • Manufactured to the Highest Quality Available.
  • Design is stylish and innovative. Satisfaction Ensured.
  • Great Gift Idea.

We bought this fridge for our new house that we outfitted with IKEA cabinets. Our new kitchen is fairly small and the size of the fridge was going to make the difference in whether we could fit our kitchen table in there or not. The footprint is much smaller and the fridge is taller than regular fridges but there is not much sacrifice in inside fridge space. We shop for groceries for our family of three 2-3 times a week. This fridge is spacious enough for that purpose. If we only shopped once a week, it probably would be a little too tight. This is a European style fridge of high quality. The finish is nice and durable. It is a simple design with a freezer at the bottom and a fridge above it without special frills like multiple zones or humidity control.

Some points

counterdepth, so does not stick out next to cabinets

fridge is at top which is great since you use that more often than the freezer

w x d x h size is 24x27x75 inches (Summit) vs 28 x 30 1/2 x 67 3/8 inches for a typical 18.1 cuft fridge (excl handles)

capacity is 13.8 cuft vs the typical 15.6-18.1 cuft full size top freezer one door fridge

door fits half gallon milk cartons but not gallon jugs

no icemaker but there is a top tray especially for ice cubes

door handle not reversible

doors close very well. Baby cannot yank open doors

Before we bought it, I got all the specs including interior and exterior dimensions and drawings on the manufacturer's website at which was very helpful in our final decison.

The only thing I do not like about this fridge is the condensation. Condensation drips down from the back wall of the fridge to a little drain which is designed for this purpose. You have to be careful not to put a plastic bag or something in the fridge that touches this wall because then you get water on the shelves. Other than this minor issue, a great fridge and would definitely buy it again.

It fits perfectly between the cabinets and does not jut out. It is tall and slim but has plenty of fridge space. Great design idea: fridge at the top and freezer at the bottom because you use the fridge more. Plus side: efficient, very quiet and integrated wine rack. And pretty

Finally an affordable counterdepth refrigerator for my small kitchen! It looks great and works great. I was worried about the amount of storage space but it is so smartly designed that I find things fit just fine and they are more easily accessible. I love the height of the refrigerator which makes most things eye level. The freezer arrangement helps keep items sorted and I was surprised by how much fits in it. The ice cube drawer accommodates popsicles nicely as well.:)

I would have gave it 5 stars if it came with an appliance (90 degree) plug.

The counter depth is really nice for a galley kitchen.

Gorgeous appliance. A+ for design. F for noise level. Too bad, I have to send it back for that reason.

Two years ago, I bought four refrigerators by AVANTI and within a year, one was already not functioning anymore.

Three months ago, a second one gave up.

The first time, they changed the unit because it was under warranty.

The second time they refused to change it because they said that it was not under warranty anymore.

Now I know why the warranty is only 1 year...because there product is not reliable and I advise any reader to go with another brand if you don't want to be in the same situation.

Lint. It's everywhere but you can't necessarily see it unless it's 4PM on a sunny afternoon and your front window faces west. Shafts of light stream through that window to reveal that lint is everywhere. To use a word I learned in college, lint is ubiquitously everywhere all over the house redundantly covering already linted clothes. EXCEPT now, in the dryer, where a new lint filter has been installed and has effectively removed lint while my clothes dry in what they call the tumbling doom hell of heat and noise. The clothes are happier afterwards but still complain about the process. Anyway, the dryer is years old and yet Maytag still has a filter that fits perfectly and does the job. Dog hair. It's everywhere.......

Samsung RS263TDWP 26 Cu. Ft. White Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy Star

Works well so far since we bought it 1.5 years ago. Two door bins have cracked, costing around $60 dollars. Our past refrigerators did not cost us much, each for more than 10 years of service. Those door bins were sturdy, from Wirlpool and GE.

More frustrating is that we cannot buy the spare parts. One of the door bins is described as "not available from the manufacturer" across the internet, including Sears Parts. Our Sears sales man told us manufacturers were supposed to keep parts available for at least 10 years by law. Go figure.

I do like the fact that the refrigerate side is not nearly as dry as the old fridges, due to the so called twin-cooing, or dual evaporator system.

This review is being written as a warning to consumers considering buying a Samsung refrigerator.

Prior to this (over a 36 year period) we've owned 2 Kenmore fridges which were reliable and durable, and gave us long service. We bought our SAUMSUNG at a Sears scratch and dent outlet. Various manufacturer's refrigerators were available for us to choose from we chose the Samsung based on price, features and design without researching the product since we had to replace our failing fridge quickly. Of course, buying in a hurry is always a gamble, and the house has the odds. We got a good price, but was it a good value? Read on and judge for yourself.

Recently our Samsung RS263TDWP circulating fan started making a noise which sounded like it was coming in contact with something. After investigating online for known issues I was disappointed to find a class action lawsuit dated October 2010 () where the plantiff complaints describe the fan noise as a precurser to complete failure of the circulating fan, heater element and cooling coils.

Specific to SAMSUNG refrigerators: the cooling coils have a heater element designed to de-ice the cooling coils from time to time. When the heater element fails the cooling coil builds up ice. If enough ice builds up it will impede the circulating fan. Once the circulating fan can no longer circulate cool air within the refrigerator the temperature rises and your food spoils.

Some people had problems within weeks, others experienced problems one, two, or three years from date of purchase. I don't recall reading about anyone having the issue greater than 5 years after buying the fridge, so I would expect a life of LESS THAN 5 years for this product. According to the class action lawsuit, the average side-by-side is expected to live ~12 years, bottom freezer models ~17 years.

Despite the recent fan noise our Samsung fridge has been functioning adequately. The ice maker works like new, and cooling is still good, but we are keeping a close watch on it. If, in fact, the circulating fan is hitting an ice build up it won't be long before the inevitable happens and the fan stops moving altogether. As this review is being written the circulating fan just turned on again and the noise coming from the refrigerator is getting louder and deeper.

Based on the class action lawsuit and potential for serious monetary losses I would advise against buying ANY SAMSUNG fridge. You'll spend more on SAMSUNG in the long run and experience frustration along the way.

IF YOU RELY ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR TO COOL LIVE-SAVING MEDICINES DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG.

Pay your money up front for a better product and save yourself the hassle and risk.

I purchased this model because my kitchen designer limited my options for a built-in by assuming I was going with a high-end Viking or Sub-Zero. Not wanted to spend $10K or more, I opted for this GE Profile, which got better reviews that the GE Monogram. I have been very displeased with this purchase. The doors are VERY difficult to open on both the refrigerator and the freezer. GE told me that once the doors had food in them, they would be fine....? They're not fine. Then, after six months of use, both the refrigerator and freezer just stopped working. Finally, for a 42", it's got a very small interior. I understand that counter depth refrigerators have less room, but this is small. I suggest that anyone considering this refrigerator really consider the cost, reliability and size before purchasing this model. It's just not worth the money.

Do yourself a great favor and read the innumerable complaints in the internet about GE refrigerators and other GE appliances before considering buying anything made by GE. I wish I had done it before buying an expensive GE refrigerator.

You will be horrified by the massive number of complaints about malfunctioning GE refrigerators and other GE appliances reported and stunned at the lack of responsibility, concern and contempt displayed by GE.

Two weeks ago the expensive GE refrigerator we purchased a few years ago quit cooling. So far we have had three GE technicians come for service and every time we call GE service, we have to wait another week for a technician to come. The first two technicians stated that there was nothing wrong with the compressor and replaced the same 'problem' board. Additionally, both technicians claimed that the refrigerator was fixed at the end of their service visit. The refrigerator is still not cooling.

Today a third GE technician came (it is always a different person) and this time the compressor was blamed for the problem. Obviously there is a lot of guess work going on here.

This last technician credited the $340 we paid originally, but now the bill has increased to $518 to replace the compressor. Supposedly they have to order the parts and we will be without a refrigerator for another 2 weeks.

Judging by the terrible reports from the countless dissatisfied and frustrated GE consumers, I am bracing myself for a long struggle with this abusive giant.

Ironically, my inexpensive 25 year old Kenmore refrigerator in the garage has never been serviced and is still working like a charm. If getting what you pay for is important to you, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MADE BY GE!!!

We purchased a Monogram 42 inch side by side stainless steel and I love it. I haven't had a problem with it at all. It was custom ordered and we paid big bucks for it. 27 x 42 x 84 inches. With 7 kids always opening and closing it all the time, it always stays cold and still has all I need and then some. I have had other GE fridges, stoves, ovens and Microwaves and haven't had one bit of problems with any of them. We are for sure a GE family and we love them. Sorry you had trouble with yours but don't sour yourself on them all. They make good products.

Want GE PSB42YSXSS Profile 25.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Counter Depth Built-In Side-By-Side Refrigerator Discount?

I second these reviews. The storage on the refrigerator side is very, very small. Also the shelves are hardly adjustable. The milk bin has to be placed in the middle limiting the options of moving the other bins around or buying extra ones. The same goes for the shelves inside the refrigerator. Since milk bin is sort of fixed, the shelves are not really adjustable by much.

Also, the freezes makes weird noises one the door closes.

On a positive, it looks beautiful.

Mini Fridge, X-treme Geek USB

Mini Fridge, X-treme Geek USB
  • USB Powered Fridge
  • Works on All Platforms
  • Stores & Chills one 8oz Can of Soda or Juice!

If you spend any time sitting in front of a computer, the idea of USB powered mini fridge probably has some appeal to you, especially if you are far from a regular refrigerator and a plug-in-the-wall Mini Fridge is for some reason not an option for you. No doubt the thirst-suffering keyboard-slave inventors of this little item thought they had an instant winner on their hands, but they were done in by cheap materials and science.

The science problem is worth dwelling upon; the sad truth is that hot plates will ALWAYS work MUCH better than cooling plates for a reason in addition to the fact that hot plates can make use of the waste heat from electrical resistance (either directly or as a byproduct of the Peltier effect) while cooling plates must dissipate it:

convection.

Hotter fluids rise and colder fluids fall, thus a container of any liquid placed upon a hot plate will quickly become uniformly heated while a similar container of liquid placed upon a cooling plate will get as cold as it is ever going to get at the bottom while the upper layers won't cool much at all. That's why the instructions for this item say to use 8 ounce soda pop cans even though the product was obviously originally designed for 12 ounce soda pop cans; doing so removes what will always be the warmest 1/3rd of a 12 ounce soda pop can.

It is no accident in my opinion that later (?) models of this product Portable USB Cooler and Warmer 2-in-1 come with a switch so it can be used as a hot plate as well, which function can at least be presumed to work.

There ARE ways to fight this, but doing so would require spending more on materials. aries2110, one of the top reviewers of this version of the product: Dream Cheeky USB Fridge shows what might have been by installing a stronger fan (for dissipating waste heat) and taping some insulation to the inside, reporting a significant increase in cooling. The less handy can try setting it in front of a desk fan and putting a can insulator upside down on the can. I also noted some additional cooling but nothing approaching "refrigerator cold".

Basically, about all it is good for IMHO is SLOWING the warming up of a previously refrigerated can of soda pop more than just setting it on your desk will. I picked mine up on clearance, and I suggest you do the same,...

if you even want to bother with it.

We purchased this Frigidaire chest freezer(model #GLFC1526FW) from our favorite local dealer on Sept.26,2011 to replace another freezer we lost in the flood. First I noticed how light weight the lid is. How can that be a proper seal? Frost does build up quickly. A few days ago I noticed the frost build-up was soft. I thought my 13yr. old son left something stick up too high and the lid wasn't shut all the way. Nope! This morning my food was thawing! Called my dealer and they sent a man to check it out. Refrigerant leak. He tried to fix, but says it is still leaking. He says the lady at the store will call me about a replacement. Good thing I have another freezer and everything fit! This freezer isn't even 9 months old yet! Don't they make anything that works or lasts anymore?

KitchenAid Architect Series II KFXS25RYMS 36 25.0 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator

KitchenAid Architect Series II KFXS25RYMS 36 25.0 cu. ft. French Door RefrigeratorI love my Kitchenaid fridge. I use the produce drawer a lot, which saves on energy use because I don't open the doors for the frequent use items like fruits, vegies, yogurt, canned cat food, and probiotic vitamins. Plenty of space in the French door compartment, and the freezer drawer is huge. Never short on ice. I have had this fridge for six months with no issues. I've never noticed excess noise. The person who wrote the bad review must've gotten one with a problem because this fridge is not noisy by nature. Hardware can and does come from the factory flawed now and then it seems like if the buyer wasn't happy he could return it or have it fixed. This is a good looking appliance, too.

I purchased mine at Sears Outlet scratch and dent for $1000.00. Folks, this is the way to buy appliances in my opinion. Mine has a dent in the side that doesn't show because it's recessed. Big deal...a dent at the bottom about 4 inches long hidden away.

Anyway, on to the good stuff. The produce drawer is great. The shelving on the left side of the door is wasteful. It's one of those things where you look at it sideways and use your imagination...I use it to stash sticks of butter. The frig is roomy. The water filter replacement is handy and easy to do. Never seems to run out of ice. The freezer is deep and holds a lot of items.

I've not had the experience with the noise but it does sound like a fax machine whenever it fills the ice trays. It's humorous actually...the frig sounds like a fax is coming through at any moment. That's only a couple of seconds so it's no big deal.

For $1000 at the Sears Outlet center I am more than satisfied.

Love this fridge. It hold alot of food and we have not had the problems with the noise. All refriderators make some kind of noise and this one is no loader than any other. We love the way it tells you have many ounces of water you are using. All of these new refriderators have smaller ice makers than in the past but this one keeps up pretty good. If you are going to have a party, buy some bags of ice but we have a family of four and we do not have a problem with how fast this makes ice. Overall, it looks great and works great. The whirlpool refridge is very similiar but just not as fancy on the inside but this kitchenaid has a much longer warrenty on the compressor than the whirlpool.

I have had this refridgerator for six weeks. Two sound modules have gone out.(The alarm for the door).

The front has rust streaks on the bottom drawer and both upper doors.

Kitchen aid denies any responsiblility for the rust as " cosmetics are only covered for the first 30 days."

What a disappointment this is, a huge waste of money.

As far as "stainless" goesgood quality stainless steel will not hold a magnet. Magnets do stick.

This is a poor excuse for a refridgerator for a lot of money.

Not buying this brand again. I bought a different (older) Vinotemp 32 bottle fridge. It broke after one year (one side didn't work). Really had to get it fixed, customer service atrocious, and if you've ever had to hire an electrician that will fix a wine fridge, you know that it's not worth it (expensive and very very time consuming).

To top it off, they are pricey. In this price, go for a Maytag or other better known brand. Or spend less and get a Haier. Can't be any worse.

The temps do not adjust as the manual states, white wine only gets to slightly below room temp.; I wound up calling customer service at vinotemp only to be told to leave a voicemail for someone to call me back, I left several messages, no one called me back; I finally had to insist to speak with someone and when i did get a person, they read off an entirely different manual than the one that came with the cooler and was ready to argue with me than assist me.

Want Vinotemp VT-TC32SB 32-Bottle Wine Cooler with Digital Display Discount?

First, this is the same model as VT-32 wine fridge just different shelves.

I did a lot of research when looking for a wine fridge. I needed a specific width to fit in my kitchen, and wanted to stay within a reasonable budget. Well, now I wish I trusted the reviews about this model who warn you that it is super loud. My dishwasher is quieter than this monster! When it turns on I can hear it from my bedroom on another floor!

In addition, the temperature fluctuates a lot (+/5 degrees from what you set it on), which I don't care about much since I don't store expensive wines. But if you do this is something to consider.

We wanted to get rid of our old ugly trash compactor. This unit fits perfectly in the space of a trash compactor. The only thing we had to do was remove the feet, then it slid right in.

It looks fantastic! I hope it doesn't burn out in 18 months like I have read about some of the other vino temp products.

It runs a lot. I'm hoping it doesn't run our electric bill up. It only goes down to 45 degrees. That may be as cold as one is supposed to drink wine, but we would really like it a little cooler.

Wine gets hot really fast in Texas.

The best thing about this unit is the way it looks. Matches our Samsung appliances perfectly with stainless steel front and blue lights.

Whirlpool Part Number 8171398A: DEODORIZER

Whirlpool Part Number 8171398A: DEODORIZERFor years I have been looking for a product that will help eliminate odors in the refrigerator and freezer. I was skeptic at first but then I heard about charcoal being used in refrigerators and decided to give it a try. Great product!

We recently bought a house and after moving in noticed an odor in the refrigerator that kept coming back no matter how thoroughly we cleaned it out. I bought one of these for the refrigerator and one for the freezer about a month ago and so far so clean.

What I received was not the refrigerator deodorizer as pictured, which I had purchased before and been happy with. What I received was two cardboard boxes with holes in them. I could have gone to my local grocery store and bought Arm & Hammer baking soda and punched some holes in the box and gotten the same result. Can't believe they charged me $12.60 each for them! Before I left negative feedback, I contacted the seller with my complaint but never received any response. Very poor service on a VERY bad product. Maybe someone from Amazon will read this and contact me---I hope so as this has left a very negative impression on me.

The items are NOT manufactured by Whirlpool but by a different company. The package is flimsy cardboard, not plastic as pictured and as previously sold. The listing says it lasts for a year but the package says replace after six months. I have written to Amazon complaining about these misrepresentations. Good luck if you still want to buy this.

My wife and I purchased this item last year when the fridge started giving off a strange smell. We had emptied it and cleaned it with vinegar, soap, comet, nothing would get rid of the smell which I guess had securely fastened itself in the vents. We bought these as a last resort and they did the trick (Although I think the cleanings got rid of the original source of the smell so you might want to do that as well). We put them in the freezer and fridge and in 24 hours there was not a hint of stink.

4.5 X 20 Whole House Water Filter - Transparent with Cartridge and Mounting Bracket PWFHT4520BT - 1

4.5 X 20 Whole House Water Filter - Transparent with Cartridge and Mounting Bracket PWFHT4520BT - 1 Inch NPT - by Kem FlowI knocked off a star due to the misinformation. The inlet and outlet are 1". I suppose that it is true that I could attach adapters to make it 3/4" or 1.5", but I could attach adapters that would make it 8" as well. The listing makes you think that it has a 1.5" inlet & outlet and then you can dial it down. That's a significant detail, due to the amount of flow that you might want and the circumstances of your use.

I'm planning on using it as a mechanical aquarium filter with a 0.35 micron pleated and cleanable cartridge.

Having struggled with rusty well water for almost 20 years, we finally did the filter thing at the suggestion of my son. What a difference this has made! I no longer have that rusty color in my plumbing fixtures, I actually feel like cleaning again and I don't have to use the heavy chemicals anymore. Love the large size, we have a large family and so far the filter has been doing its job. One month into this and still no rusty water!

Timely shipping. Large clear, thick plastic housing, Should make a great whole house sediment pre-filter. I just have to mod a light blocking box, aluminum foil or something to keep the sunlight off of it as the plastic is specifically vulnerable to UV and algae...

I put this in and installed an Aquios JUMBO Filter that softens/conditions and has a carbon filter. I LOVE being able to see in. See my picture.

  • Swift Green Replacement for Whirlpool 8171414

We just received our first (and last) purchase of the Swift SGF-W41 replacement filter today. After following the install instructions precisely, including the 15 minute minimum water pre-soak and then flushed the filter with 2-3 gallons of water. After reading the product description prior to purchasing, I was really looking forward to trying this filter which replaces my more expensive Whirlpool/KitchenAid 8171414.

I'm very disappointed that the water tasted exactly the same as it does coming out of our unfiltered faucet tap water. There was absolutely no noticeable reduction in the Chlorine smell or taste. I had my other family members sample the water and all of us could not tell the difference between our unfiltered tap water and water that had passed through the SGF-W41 filter.

We were really hoping that the quality of water would be at least equal to the Whirlpool/KitchenAid 8171414 which we usually use, unfortunately it is not. In fact our six month old Whirlpool/KitchenAid 8171414 filter still does a much better job at removing the chlorine odor and taste from our water than this brand new Swift SGF-W41.

I was really hoping to be able to write a positive review for this product, but as already mentioned based on our experience I can not. I guess we'll have to pay the extra $$ to purchase another Whirlpool/KitchenAid 8171414.

*** UPDATE: The seller (Global Shop Stop) referred me to the manufacturer (Swift Green Filters). I emailed the manufacturer and also spoke with one of their customer service reps. They sent me a replacement SGF-W41 since he believed that the carbon block probably cracked during shipment. I'm happy to report that the replacement filter works fine. He also informed me that some of their earlier manufactured SGF-41's had carbon blocks that didn't entirely fill the plastic housing, thus allowing the tap water to bypass the carbon block filter. I also found out that the carbon made out of carbonized cocounut shells can be more brittle than traditional carbon blocks used in the original Whirlpool/KitchenAid 8171414 filters. Since the carbon blocks made of cocunut shells are more brittle, I would strongly recommend that the seller packages them with some cushioning material in a second outer box. They shipped mine just in it's original packaging wrapped only in a USPS shipping envelope. They should double box these with padding or at a minimum use a padded mailer to help avoid cracking the carbon block during shipment. ***

We live in a area with flouride in the city water. Just wish that someone had come up with a refrigerator filter that will filter out the deadly flouride.
