Frigidaire FFPH45F4LM 4.5 Cu. Ft. Black Counter Depth Top Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star

Frigidaire FFPH45F4LM 4.5 Cu. Ft. Black Counter Depth  Top Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • Adjustable Glass Shelf
  • Clear Crisper Drawer
  • Can Rack
  • Interior Lighting
  • Recessed Handle

Purchased the same made in China, Frigidaire refrigerator several years ago. It functioned well for almost 5 years and then suddenly quit. Contacted Frigidaire customer service and they could not even locate the model we had purchased in their system. Definitely do not feel the cost to benefit ratio was worth it, as we anticipated this unit lasting for at least 7 years if not more. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this product.

Cuisinart DGB-625BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed Metal

Cuisinart DGB-625BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed MetalI had an earlier version of the 10-cup Cuisinart Grind and Brew that lasted more than 3 years. It made an awesome pot of coffee. I read online reviews of this and similar grind and brews from Cuisinart that made me nervous that I wouldn't get as good a product as I had last time. I looked closely at other brands and other versions of grind and brews and decided based on my own experience with the last one I bought, I'd give this model a shot. So far I have not had any problems that other people have mentioned. Yes, there are more parts to take apart, clean and put back together than a regular coffee maker. But the superior taste of the coffee you get from the grind and brew is absolutely worth the extra couple minutes of prep time it takes. Besides, I was used to it from the previous model I owned. So that is not an issue. I read other reviews about the hinge not closing or popping open during the brew cycle, or leaking. I have not had ANY of those issues. NOTE: One reviewer said to read ALL the instructions carefully and follow the directions and that's what I did. Most important thing to remember here is you have to be sure to keep the handle of the gold filter basket facing the front of the coffee maker. Last I saw some reviewers complain of the noise as it grinds the coffee beans. This version of the grind and brew is noticeably more quiet than the last one I had, so no issue there either. All in all, I am VERY glad I purchased this product. I love it!

A very nice, straightforward coffemaker, makes good coffee with pre-ground beans, can be programmed to start when you want. A nice feature is that it can also be programmed to shut down when you want -either right after brewing or up to 2 hours later. A bit on the noisy side, even without the grinder function on. Initial setup is easy. Please note that if you do not close *and latch* the reservoir cover, the machine will beep constantly and not brew until you do. Drove me crazy for about 15 minutes until I noticed that the cover wasn't fully latched. Although it does tell you that in the instruction manual, it's not immediately evident -it's a line in the middle of lengthy instruction under #6 "Close Reservoir Lid", on page 8.

Update on Feb. 1, 2010

It was a learning curve to figure out how many scoops of whole beans to add for a good cup of coffee. A small scoop is included, with instructions to use one scoop per cup. However, the grind on this machine is fairly coarse, so it comes out a bit weaker than I'm used to. Adding a bit more each time took me over the top to "bitter," so it's hard to find a balance. I'm afraid I enjoy pre-ground coffee in this coffeemaker more than whole-bean.

Buy Cuisinart DGB-625BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed Metal Now

Bought this unit for my wife for Christmas 2009. Liked the idea of a combo grinder and coffee maker. $100 at World Market, Houston. Get it cheaper now.

1. Also bought the gold filter basket (no brainer).

2. The unit makes great coffee.

3. The grinder is very loud. Loud enough to wake the household at 5am. I now purchase ground coffee and don't use the grinder in the coffee maker.

4. The filter basket sits in a swing out holder that is spring-loaded. There is a "release" button on the side of the unit. The door tends to pop open at very inopportune times, including while the coffee is brewing. This is an unacceptable glitch in the design. This gets the unit a 3-star rating from me.

I'm in the process of getting a replacement unit from Cuisinart. Even for $50, not worth the mess.

I am very pleasantly surprised by this machine. It replaced a 3 year-old Cuisinart grind-and-brew that just stopped working one morning. I intended to buy one of the expensive burr-grinder models from Capresso when I found this one on clearance at a warehouse club for fifty dollars. I figured for a quarter of the price of the Capresso it was worth a shot if I didn't like it I could always take it back. I am so happy that I tried it!

Compared to my old Cuisinart this one is much, much quieter. Don't get me wrong, it's still loud, but it's more like the sound of a truck driving by while my old one sounded like a jet engine taking off. I attribute the quietness to the much thicker grinding chamber on this model. I think it holds in place better, reducing the vibration noise. Maybe a burr grinder model would be quieter; I don't know. The burr grinders I have used make noise at a lower frequency so they sound different, but not necessarily quieter.

The coffee tastes great! The warming plate / glass carafe keeps the coffee hot enough for my taste. Might not be hot enough for some I don't like my coffee scalding hot. The grounds in the basket get well saturated during the brewing process, so you don't have to use an excessive amount of coffee beans to get a strong pot.

The only drawback is the need to clean the machine after each use. I'm used to it, because my old Cuisinart was the same way, but I can see the attraction of a burr grinder model that you don't have to constantly wash. The cleaning process is easy. Everything pops out easily and cleans up quickly, but there are several parts that have to be washed. The instructions say you can run the parts through the dishwasher, but when I did that with my old Cuisinart the plastic eventually developed a white residue that took a while to scrub off so I'm not going to use the dishwasher with this model.

Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It is inexpensive, relatively quiet, has good programming features, and makes a good pot of coffee. Having a 12-cup capacity is great!

LG 24.9 Cu. Ft. Black French Door Refrigerator - LFX25978SB

LG 24.9 Cu. Ft. Black French Door Refrigerator - LFX25978SB
  • 24.9 cu. ft. Capacity
  • 4 Tempered Glass Shelves
  • 2 Humidity Crispers
  • Slim SpacePlus Ice System
  • Tall Ice/Water Dispensing System

I bought this refrigerator 2 months ago. I had a two door before with freezer on top, a 20 CF. The reasons I purchased this one was its 32-3/4" wide. I had a 36" space but when you have a wall on one side & want a french door unit it most likely won't work. This works as the door opening onto the wall will open 90 deg.

Its not perfect but works. The refrigerator part is very user friendly. You can see things and it is spacious. I like the bottom drawer freezer. Takes a little getting use to. The ice maker has a smaller ice bin as its in the door & does not take up any refrigerator space like some do. There are two of us & it is fine. If you use a lot of ice & several people using it, it may run out. There is a bin in the freezer to hold additional ice. The energy info says it cost $55 a year for electricity. Overall I like it. Just be sure to do your own research.

I bought this Refrigerator over a year ago. It was great for the first month, until I found that the water connections under the fridge were loose and dripping on my brand new hardwood floors. We had the tech out to fix it, he had to order a whole new water manifold. After installation, the water dispenser/ice machine worked for 2 wks, service guy was back out to replace the "brain". It worked for 2 months then water strength started to diminish until there was nothing out of the dispenser nor the ice machine. We have had service guys out 5 times in 1 year to deal with the water dispenser/ice machine. It still doesnt work today and now we are out of warranty and will have to pay. Kitchen Aid refuses to replace the refrigerator. I will never buy another Kitchen Aid Refrigerator. Very disappointed in the quality and service level.

Just bought this refrigerator and as soon as I removed all the packaging tape and plugged it in I have had nothing but problems. The fit and finish is sub par and the water dispenser does not work. The lights inside sometimes works and sometimes dont. The service guy installing the microwave and stove said the light switch is bad and to call service. Im very disappointed. I paid 2,100 at Sargents for this appliance.

Well, the best I can say is that it's the right size.

Other than that, it does not seal, inferior construction, seams are poorly made, magnet does not grip.

I want the hour of my life back I spent installing this, went back to the old gasket, which though leaky, at least seals.

Don't waste time/money.

EdgeStar 80 Can Built-In Beverage Cooler - Black/Stainless Steel

EdgeStar 80 Can Built-In Beverage Cooler - Black/Stainless SteelWe purchased this EdgeStar 80 Cooler in July 2012. Within weeks the temperature inside began creeping upward. We emptied the contents, and unplugged the unit, hoping to "reset" the thermostat. After a day we plugged it back in and it cooled down to 39 degrees. Again after several days the temperature began creeping up. We repeated the process, and noticed that there was ice forming in the back wall of the inside of the cooler. Over the next month we repeated the process, thawing and plugging back in.

We finally called the company today, Oct 24, and were told by the service manager that it only has a 30 days labor warranty. We would have to find our own refrigerator service person, have them look at it, and that person could call and order parts. Edgestar does not have service people they work with or recommend.

I explained that the unit had never worked properly, and he said there was nothing he could do, because the unit was more than 30 days old. He stated that the company was giving us "excellent customer service" by telling us to find our own service person.

The unit is worthless. The company, located in Austin TX is worthless. The service manager would not even direct my call to his superior, stating that I could call back as many times as I wanted, and he was the only person I would be able to talk to.

I had hoped that by buying a product made in the USA, it would be a quality company and service. Do NOT do business with this company.

EdgeStar 80 can beverage cooler has great capacity and runs quietly. It has had some problems in the few weeks we have owned it with maintaining its gasket seal, so temps have risen. We otherwise like it.

I guess the bottom line is that this product simply did not live up to my expectations. I didn't by the least expensive models I found because I was afraid they would not maintain the desired temperature. This unit advertises a selectable range down to 38 degrees. Unfortunately, it has a thermostat that shows the actual temperature, which, in my experience is usually between 40 and 46 degrees, depending on the external temperature. To be clear, this unit is in an interior room in a very well insulated office building, but if the outside temp is over 8i0, the unit isn't going to be under 40.

We purchased this product a couple of months ago. We actually returned a cheaper unit (diff brand) and upgraded to this beverage cooler because it was exactly the size, look, and quality, we were shopping for. Its worth the money. Has a blower built in to keep drinks cold. Plus ventilated holes in shelving for circulation. Looks high-end and has cool LED lighting inside! Would definitely recommend this product.

Summit 2 Sliding Door Beverage Cooler

Summit 2 Sliding Door Beverage CoolerThe Summit beverage center is great for home use and a much better option for beverages than using a full size refrigerator. It takes up less space and holds more beverages than an average "second refrigerator"

I give this appliance a 2 as mechanically it is terrible! No kids "in and out" of it is a commercial grade applicance than can not withstand minimal use! The compressor seized up in less than 3 years, while the part was covered under warranty the repair cost me over $500! 8 months later it has seized again. Customer service at Summit is terrible they are not willing to help defray any of the cost. Repairs will have cost me more than the original purchase price. I would not recomend this appliance!

Do not buy anything from Summit. The merchandise is terrible and they WILL NOT stand behind their products! Avoid the problems I had and buy from another manufacturer!

I would definitely buy from this vendor again in the future.

Bought this filter really cheap on Amazon. The appliance parts places, even the local ones wanted $45 to $55 each. This unit is very very good, even has a center support not shown on pic. The OEM filter lasted only a couple of years, hope this one lasts longer, should.

Photo is not what you receive. What you receive is a newer improved version of it. It now comes with a plastic molding down the center to give the screen more strength as to not bend. Newer version of trap is much improved. Definitely replace your dryer filter trap with this one if it needs replacing. Filter trap is stronger, better screen and fits more snug than the factory one that was initially installed. I recommend this vender.

  • KitchenAid - KBFS25EWMS

The things I really like about this refrigerator which we have had for about three years are:

I really like the freezer on the bottom. I'm in the fridge more than the freezer and don't have to bend down to access the fridge. The freezer has a large (huge) basket with a smaller divided pull-out one on the top. The ice cube maker works fantastically.

I really like having the water dispenser on the inside wall of the fridge. The refrigerator maintains its sleek look but I still have access to filtered water.

I really like there is a shelf that pulls out making it easy to reach things stuffed towards the back.

I like that I can adjust the other shelves height.

I like the larger drawer below the two crisper drawers. We keep cheeses and lunch meats in it. Again, very accessible.

I like the big roomy size of the door shelves. They accommodate a full gallon jug of milk.

I like the stainless steel look but it does require maintenance because fingerprints are forever appearing on the front.

Buy KitchenAid 24.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - KBFS25EWMS Now

I purchased this refrigerator less than 4 years ago. For the second time in less than four years the central crisper support must be replaced. This is a plastic part that supports the two cripsers. It is held in place with a small plastic tab at the back, so when the drawers are extended this small plastic tab supports the weight of the crisper. And it breaks off. I was told by customer service that you "can not fill the crispers too full or put too much weight in them" (BUT no definition of the maxium load). I have never had this problem before with a refrigerator; this part is poorly designed for its use. I learned from "customer support" that there is a 30 day return policy and a 90 day warranty on the part. They will not replace the defective part; you must pay for it. If you try to replace the part under the 90 day warranty, you must have a technician come to verify that the part was properly installed (!). AND you must pay for this inspection of the $30 part (apparently this cost varies by area so they have no idea what this would cost you). I have to say this is the worst customer service I have encountered for a poorly designed part.

I bought this refrigerator five months ago and it is already leaking on the floor. I think KitchenAid has sold me a piece of junk, and they can't get service people here till the end of the week.

Save 11% Off

I didn't purchase this through Amazon, but I own this model now for a year an a half. The crisper drawers are junk. They do not have rollers and they scrape plastic drawer on plastic track and there is a dusty coating of shredded plastic on the sides of the drawers. The long drawer cover is always getting stuck. It was replaced under warranty the first year. This week the pin snapped off and the whole bracket needs to be replaced. Last week the freezer was leaking water on the floor. The drainage hose was clogged. I needed to remove all the freezer food, pack it up and defrost the rear of the freezer with a hair dryer. It seems to have worked. It is no longer under full warranty so a service call for an estimate is $90. If they find the repair is a covered expense, I still pay the 90, they pay parts and labor. If it isn't covered I pay it all. The drawers and plastic parts are no longer covered. It isn't even 2 years old and it is falling apart little by little. Do not buy, keep looking.

Every previous refrigerator I owned lasted between 10 and 20 years. This unit is a cheap piece of junk, with a good looking exterior.

AM Conservation Group, Inc. 971130-I Simply Conserve Refrigerator Coil Cleaning Brush

AM Conservation Group, Inc. 971130-I Simply Conserve Refrigerator Coil Cleaning BrushTHIS brush does the job. IT fits into the tight areas of the bottom of my GE fridge, , I hold a vac nozzle narrow piece as far in the bottom as I can and get the brush moving to dislodge the lint and dust stuck on the bottom of the fridge. My fridge has the coil way way in the back one side on a slant, so using the brush as is, long and straightway won't work. But..the solution it's a soft enough, yet strong enough steel core, that I can bend the brush for about a 45 degree angle or more or less as needed to rub the coils side to side with the brush horizontal the slanted coils, it works! The brush is long enough to get to the back bottom with about a 5-6inch 45 degree bend, and it's narrow enough yet with enough bristles to dislodge the build up. And I do think the fridge is running less, any build up on the coil is a big insulating blanket, that stops heat transfer from the coil. So keep it clean, I could never get the lint off with just the taper nozzle of the vac, it needs the brush to dislodge it. A round vac attachment brush is way too big to fit under the fridge, or through the narrow opening in the front bottom of the fridge. The brush does what it should.

used this for both refrigerator coils and dryer vent. Was able to get far back between the coils. Also it great for the dryer vent to get two feet in for cleaning.
