Single Bottle Wine Cooler - WC10G

• Great for White Wines and Champagne
• Quiet and Energy-Efficient
• Aluminum Container with 3.5 inch Diameter
• DC Power Supply
• Green Power On - LED Light

So far, I have tried two of these units. The first one did not cool at all, and the second one stablizes at a temperature about 10-degrees off from the selected temperature. That is not acceptable for the wine temperature control that I had hoped to have with this device.

Takes 55 minutes to get from room temperature to 48 degrees(according to light on the unit) which is really 58 in this reality matrix. Disappointing!

Green Filter for Kenmore 46-9902 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Cer...

I am pleased with this purchase, ie., the fridge filters. They were as advertised, fit properly and arrived within a reasonable time. We are satisfied with the quality of the water dispensed through these filters. Further use will provide a better idea of performance.

I would purchase from this supplier again.

Sundanzer Solar-Powered Chest Freezer - 5.8 Cubic Ft., 30in.L x 40in.W x 37in.H

• Includes baskets for food organization

Buying a Sundanzer involves some choices. First is the size. If you have the space, get the largest unit. The reason is that the compressor is the same for all of them, and the only thing that changes is how often the compressor cycles. So the largest one will draw the same number of watts; it will simply do so a bit more often (using more watt-hours overall). After deciding on the size, you'll have another difficult choice to make: fridge or freezer. In fact there's absolutely no difference between the two except for the thermostat used. You could, as I did, get both thermostats. Then if you later decide you'd rather have a fridge instead of a freezer (or vice-versa), you can swap them in a fairly easy operation.

My unit is currently set up as a fridge. I keep it packed at the coolest setting in a hot garage. The temperature inside stays just above freezing. To accomplish this, the unit consumes approximately 300 watt-hours per day (drawing around 45 watts while the compressor's active). That means a 250 amp-hour 12-volt deep cycle battery will keep this arrangement going for 10 days (assuming you don't mind draining and possibly damaging the battery; normally you don't want to go below 50% of the battery's capacity).

The scenario I've described is fairly demanding; during an extended power outage you'd probably want to adjust the thermostat to something more reasonable than just above freezing. The actual energy usage depends on many factors, including the ambient temperature around the Sundanzer, the ambient temperature around the batteries, the thermostat setting, what you're trying to cool, etc. But hopefully my example will give you some figures to play with.

With the AC/DC option, the Sundanzer can run off AC or DC (typically a deep cycle battery or battery bank, which you supply and is external to the unit). The Sundanzer will use DC as a backup, automatically switching to your batteries if the AC goes out (or was never used in the first place). It won't charge the batteries so you'll still need a battery charger (or charge controller if you're using solar). Note that even if you plan to run this with a solar panel, you'll still need a battery in the equation; the Danfloss compressor needs in-rush amps that panels can't supply. And of course solar isn't possible at night. Photovoltaics, then, are really about charging the battery--not directly running the unit per se.

Physically, the unit is solid although not exactly industrial. It has the thickest walls (most insulation) of any fridge I've ever seen, which no doubt contributes to its impressive efficiency. Inside, the baskets work well and really help with organizing. Under the hood, those who like tinkering with electromechanical things will find that the Sundanzer is very amenable to that, and it wouldn't be difficult to integrate one into a home automation system. The electronics are simple and overengineered--eschewing delicate boards that can be fried by a simple static shock.

Overall, this is a very bare-bones unit, and the entire Sundanzer line could use a refresh. For example, the single control--a plastic knob for the aforementioned analog thermostat--feels cheap and primitive. A digital thermostat capable of spanning a large range would allow the unit to function as a fridge or freezer. An LED display could tell you what the internal temperature is without having to open the unit. I'd also prefer a hasp or lockable latch to the current plastic lip.

As mentioned in other reviews, another downside is the unusual 24-volt 7-watt incandescent bulb. The bulb base appears to be a type E14 (14mm base) SES (small Edison screw), which is the type Europeans might use as nightlights near their beds. True, it only consumes 7 watts, but that's not so impressive given the meager light output. I've seen LED flashlights that are orders of magnitude brighter at a fraction of the wattage. A premium and expensive power-saving product such as the Sundanzer really ought to use LED technology.

While the Sundanzer is not fancy, it is reliable, and there are few other products like it on the market (Engel and SunFrost being the obvious competition). It's also a very flexible product; you can start off using it just like any other fridge/freezer, running it off standard household AC; no batteries or photovoltaics are needed in this configuration. Later, when you're ready, you can explore the DC option, perhaps as part of a series of ongoing steps to reduce your dependence on the grid. Its ability to handle both 12 and 24 VDC is another testament to its flexibility, and one that you'll particularly appreciate if, like so many, you start off with a 12-volt system and later realize that you've outgrown the wattage restrictions due to the unmanageable amperages involved in delivering those watts.

I didn't really need a freezer. I just wanted to see if sunlight could really be turned into ice. My friend talked me into getting some solar panels from Harbor Freight and I wasn't excited about using them to run lights or radios or some other pedestrian thing. Part of the attraction of solar is that if the power goes out you still have some electricity. We don't lose power very often in central Florida, but we did have a hurricane a few years ago that actually put the grid down for several days, not just several hours. It was then that I realized the most precious thing when you lose the grid is cooling, not heating. Anyone who does camping likely has enough equipment and fuel to cook food for days with what you normally have on hand. The rub is cooling and losing all the food in the fridge. The milk, the eggs. Ice was the first thing that sold out in our grocery stores and it didn't get replenished. Thus, I thought a freezer would be an awesome thing to have in an emergency. You could make your own ice and have lots of frozen food of every variety. Mostly though, I just thought it would be cool beyond belief to run a freezer off solar panels. There aren't many choices out there, so I ordered this Sunzdanzer. 5.8 cubic feet is plenty of room. I have run this thing for a couple of years now, and I am impressed. You can expect temperatures to be stable at about 6 degrees Fahrenheit. That's cold enough to freeze anything but ice cream. I think ice cream prefers to be about 0 degrees, so ice cream in this unit will unfortunately be a little too soft. But everything else is great. Popsicles, Lean Cuisines, steak, fish, bread, frozen vegetables all are frozen hard and stay that way. Plus, this unit is extremely quiet. When it is running, the most you can hear is a faint trickling of water sound. Never a motor sound. The engineering is very impressive. One more caveat about the temperature. My results are based on the freezer being indoors with normal indoor temps. If you have this unit out in the garage with super hot temps (like my garage) I have no idea what the freezer would be capable of, but it would be tougher on the unit. The unit came very well packaged and was delivered by an 18 wheeler tractor trailer from New Mexico. It wasn't very heavy either. The unit runs only off 12 volt or 24 volt, so it is totally engineered for solar which is great. I will offer a couple of nit picks, but don't take them to heart, they are small things really. First, there are three baskets that can lay just inside the top of the unit giving you the ability to compartmentalize a bit. You end up with an arrangement like a box of chocolates -you can remove the top layer of items by removing the baskets and get to the bottom layer of food pretty quickly. What I didn't like was the little handle brackets that hang onto the top ledge of the freezer interior -the brackets slip out of position and collapse making you reset them. That is chronic but just an annoyance. The other is the light bulb inside. It is a 24 v bulb and is rather dim when used with 12 v. And you can't find a 12 v. bulb like this anywhere even the manufacturer doesn't have them. The resulting interior light is enough, but only barely. Overall, though I am very impressed with this freezer and recommend it to you.

LG 27.6 CF FRENCH DOOR REF SS

First of all, the good part: This fridge is a gorgeous piece of kitchenware. The stainless steel looks stunning next to my oak cabinets, and I've gotten quite a few compliments.

However, it's functionality does not live up to its fabulous facade.

So, here are the bad parts:

The water dispenser is separate from and placed above the ice dispenser, so that the drip tray (even if extended) will not catch any excess water sloshed about. It also confuses anyone new to the fridge and you'll end with water all over your floor. We've started keeping water in pitchers when we host parties to prevent this. Still, we inevitably end up having to hand out towels to at least one unfortunate soul.

The ice maker is horrible. The ice cubes stick together constantly, so that you have to bang on it a bit. Plus, we've already had to call and get someone to come out and put in a new ice cube tray when ours got stuck mid-rotation and started making strange grinding noises. Keep in mind, this occurred about 4 weeks after we purchased the fridge. The repairman said it was something about the way the doors close that caused all the problems with the ice cube maker. He said we wouldn't have problems if we didn't open both the doors at once. However, to access the bottom produce drawer, you have to open both doors.

The freezer holds a lot less than our old GE fridge (which was comparably much smaller in size). I'm not quite sure why.

The fridge cools unequally (more so than any other fridge I've ever owned or heard of). I've found that the upper part of the refrigerator actually gets quite warm, and anything placed there will go bad rather quickly. I'm not talking about a bit more warm, but the sort of hot-to-warm temperature that will encourage even preserved foods to sour. If I lower the temperature of the refrigerator to the point where things will keep relatively well on those upper shelves, the vegetables and fruits in the bins at the bottom of the refrigerator freeze.

The energy saver temperatures kept my ice cream melty and made my squash go bad.

The stainless steel looks great, but you can see every fingerprint. It's also horrible to clean. Windex or water will leave streaks. You have to rub them off with a microfiber towel or get a special stainless steel cleaner.

I like the way this fridge looks, and like all stainless appliances it shows streaks and finger prints, but it's worth it to me. If you are troubeled by that issue, don't by anything stainless. That isn't LGs fault, it's just a fact of the finish. I like that I can easily place a half sheet pan on any shelf and the fact that there are four separate drawers. All fridges are warmest at the top, so store less perishiable things up there.

It doesn't make huge amounts of ice, and the cubes are really small, but I don't have a large family so it isn't a problem for me. What is a problem is the way the left door closes. It is easy to have the mullion not go into it's channel, leaving the door open about an inch. It's true that it will beep after a minute or so, but if you grabbed your lunch out of the fridge on your way out the door, it will just beep all day and the fridge will be about 50 degrees on your return. Because I have never owned a french door fridge, I don't know if any other manufacturers have this problem. Could be a challenge for all of them.

I wouldn't recommend this fridge if you have children getting in and out of it for the above reason. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy this same model, even with the mullion problem. I just keep my lunch behind the right hand door now.

I have owned this refrigerator for a couple of years now, and it has been wonderful. No trouble at all, keeps food very cold. I like the French Doors, very usable space. The interior is beautiful with the LED lighting. The Linear Compressor is very quiet and has a ten year warranty. Ice output is moderate, but I knew that going in. It is OK for my use. My old refer would freeze my eggs. This one has no problems like that. I can say without reservation that this is the best refrigerator that I have ever owned! I also own an LG Washer and Dryer and they have been working away trouble free for 5 years now. My LG Stove has also been great, some trouble with the capacitive touch control panel, but LG service replaced it with out a problem. For me anyway, I like all the LG appliances that I own and have no regrets about buying any of them. I think people are most likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than if they have a good experience.

If I were only grading the refrigerator and freezer, this would have five stars. We seem to have much better temperature control than we had with our 6-year old side-by-side Kenmore. Our produce and deli meats seem to stay fresh longer. Our milk stays cold but does not freeze. Guess you can tell why we ditched the Kenmore!

HOWEVER, the ice maker is slow and of low capacity. Perhaps four glasses of ice water is all you'll get at one time. If you don't use the ice maker for two or three days, the ice all sticks together and the dispenser won't dispense ice at all very annoying. Then you have to dump the ice container into the sink and start over. The water dispenser is even worse. While I appreciate the idea that this is supposed to make filling a pitcher possible, we get water on the floor all the time even family members that use it frequently. We also have a lot of guests, and when they use the water dispenser, we see a puddle on the floor 100% of the time, until they've used it three or four times.

The ice maker and water dispenser absolutely are completely annoying extremely poor design (water dispenser) and engineering (ice make and dispenser) so much so that this otherwise fine product may not last as long as the Kenmore in our home. One star for the ice maker/dispenser and water dispenser gets no stars at all.

As far as noise goes this unit is very quiet, except that it has a very low frequency, and noticable, hum. Four stars for noise.

Finally while the water filter seems to work really well, the price of the water filter is way out of line approximately $35. The manufacturing cost of this should be under $1 shame on LG for their pricing! One star for the filter price.

I purchased this fridge one month ago. I have had a service person in my home five times and it is still not working properly. My unit will not cool properly, when the tech placed a thermometer in the unit it shows a temp of 45 degrees, eventhough I have lowered the controll to 33 degrees. I spoke with the service company today and was informed that a mother board is being order for my unit. LG told me that they would call me as soon as they had spoken with the technican. I am still waiting on that call. Since having this problem I have research this unit and found alot of bad reviews for the unit and LG. My sister-in-law bought the 31 cubic ft. and had to return it because of problems. One good thing is I did buy the extended warranty from the company where I purchased unit. Save your money and time do not purchase this unit.

Whirlpool 2188661 Crisper Pan for Refrigerator

My crisper drawer broke to pieces after 3 1/2 years. I ordered a replacement and it looks to be the same flimsy plastic. I hate to only give this seller two stars because the seller is in no way at fault. The seller gets five stars the product only two.

This is a replacement for a cripser drawer that the rails broke off of. It fits fine and looks almost exactly the same as the original except for it is missing the white strip across the front-no big to deal to me.

LG : LFX28977ST (LFX28978ST) 26.7 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

• Tall Filtered Water Dispenser
• IcePlus Accelerated Freezing Function
• LoDecibel Quiet Operation
• Dimensions (WHD): 44 1/4" X 68 3/8" X 47 5/8" In.

About a month after I got married last year, our hideous, harvest gold, dilapidated refrigerator graciously went off to be with the Lord. We couldn't really afford a replacement, but I was secretly doing backflips that we could get something nice, spacious and not so hideous. While saving up funds to buy a new fridge and living out of a mini dorm fridge for 3 months, we researched various models. We definitely wanted the stainless steel variety and wanted a bottom drawer freezer... and this LG did not disappoint.

The drawer slides open and closed easily with just one hand and tends to hold quite a bit of weight with the stuff we cram in there. The side door is generously spaced to accommodate 2 liter bottles, salad dressing or just about anything else. Our frozen stuff stays frozen and the cold stuff stays cold.

My criticisms are few, but I do have some:

Frost/ice accumulates on the left side of the drawer occasionally, so sometimes some drops off on the floor.

The left door swings closed on its own you can easily prop open the right door to load in something big and heavy, but the left door will not stay open for you.

The shelf adjustment is not very elegant you have to take the shelves out and stick them back in at a higher tier. Some competing models had a hand crank which was easier to use.

The top of the vegetable compartments is covered with 1 giant piece of glass. It is hard to get out and very awkward to clean in a sink if something spills. This would have made a lot more sense if it were segmented into 2 or 3 sections for easier handling.

While I know it's par for the course with stainless appliances, it's very irritating to not be able to use magnets to hold something important on the front of the fridge. It's steel, not aluminum. It makes no sense. One day, I'd like it if some manufacturer would come out w/ a stainless model that was upgraded to use magnets!

The ice-maker is a tad tiny, so it gets jammed with ice frequently, causing us to take the basket out and fiddle w/ the ice to get it to move down the chute.

The digital panel for selecting crushed or cubed ice is too complex... you have to press buttons a few times to get it to 'take' this could have been executed better.

The lighting is the best I've ever seen in a fridge no harsh bulb in your face very easily-distributed light throughout. So far, it's one of the nicest refrigerators I've ever owned.

When we remodeled our kitchen in 2006 we had the following criteria for our new refrigerator: counter depth, water dispenser in the door and ice maker (not necessarily in the door)

After many hours of research, both online and at different stores we selected an LG French door model with freezer on the bottom.

After it was installed we noticed that the temperature showed over 90 degrees, whereas the room was about 72 degrees. Also the water dispenser flowed very slowly. According to the manual you were supposed to pull out the unit and vacuum the back. Since the unit had just been installed we called support and they referred us to the authorized tech who came out to check it. He then told us that the fridge is designed to be free-standing in the room, not "pushed" in the space between the cabinets. And then the temperature gauge would function correctly. Note the unit is NOT built-in. The water trickle from the dispenser was working as designed.

About one year later, yes, right as the warranty had expired in 2007, a small, thumbnail sized plastic tab broke off the bottom wide draweralmost $300.00 in parts and labor to replace.

In September 2009, the plastic frame that holds the bottom glass shelf (over the two half size drawers) broke in the front left corner and it is now held together with duct tape. Two weeks later another tiny plastic part that holds the lid to the left most drawer.

When it comes to the general construction and design of the drawers it is substandard and LG should be ashamed of themselves. The half drawers are designed for fruits and veggies, but if you put anything heavier than lettuce in them, they fall off the convoluted rails and you need an engineering degree to put them back in. In 2010, one of the veggie drawers completely broke into parts.

Support and customer service assures us that we are the only ones ever complaining about this. Replacing plastic parts is `standard maintenance'. It seems the design of metal rails and bars in combination with tiny plastic tabs and attachments is a very bad combination

If you put bottles weighing too much in the doors they do not close properly and you have to give them an extra forceful push. LG service and support has not provided any service, just excuses.

Not 5 years after purchase, we are looking for the replacement, while the 20 year old GE in the garage is still whole.On a scale of 1-10 we put LG at about a minus 5never fully functioning, insufficient materials design, and poor service satisfaction.

ps. We are a couple in our 60s, not a wild group with teenagers running around.

We've had our fridge for over two years now and still love it! Its huge. We had zero problems with ours. I dont know what the other reviewer was thinking but if you mistreat your stuff it breaks. Ive had no problems with my doors closing with large/heavy bottles in them. This is because my fridge in level like the book tells you to. Water squirts out just fine. I'd say if it alows down your filter is old and needs to be changed. I'd say the water comes out harder than most.

The only bad thing, and its not that bad, is th ice maker. It doesnt hold a ton of ice. So, If your having a party you need to go get a bag.

We bought this fridge and only a few weeks after using it, the water dispenser was all scratched up and the ink that says "water" started coming off. Not what we expected after spending good money on a fridge. LG said it was cosmetic and wouldn't cover under warranty, when clearly not excluded by written warranty. Customer service was horrible.

Stated that if they sent me what I ordered it would still be wrong so refunded me money and that is the only reason I gave one star. The seller gave me link to order filter I needed and guess what? It is the exact same one I ordered the in the first place. NO THANKS NOT AGAIN.
