Whirlpool 72017 White Touch up Paint

We had tried to cover a stain on our white Whirlpool refrigerator for almost three years with store bought appliance paints. Finally we searched for Whirlpool paint and found it online through Amazon. I don't know why we didn't do that sooner because it is a perfect match! Easy to apply, no odor, and quick drying. Price was right too!!

Touch up paint is touch up paint. No matter how carefully you apply it, it's not going to not look like you touched up an imperfection. Worked fine and looks ok.

I purchased this compact fridge for my daughter's dorm room and she is very happy with it: she says that it is roomy enough for drinks and others and compact enough to fit in a small corner. Great buy!

I purchased this for use in my office. It was light enough so I could carry it from the parking lot to my office (about 50 yards). I purchased a thermometer to ensure the temperature is cold enough for my yogurt and juice. So far the fridge has performed as advertised. Good compact unit!

Whirlpool Part Number 2161284: Thermostat Assembly

The part number on the product did not match that for the advertised part, but it installed ok and it seems to work just fine. Prompt shipping.

It works like a charm. Our refrigerator is an older model, so when we replaced the thermostat we had to adjust the cold setting to a warmer temp as our water kept freezing. But after several adjustments, it seems to be doing well now. Good product for the money.

Kenmore T1RFKB2 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Certified Green, Made in North America 2 P

I ordered these and it wasn't good. The first one was plugged completely and never allowed more than a trickle of water and the second never stopped leaking. I liked the green idea, but never considered that it would be algae on my kitchen floor! The only thing good was the prompt refund when I returned them. Kudos to the supplier on that one.

LG LFX33975ST

• Slim SpacePlus Ice System
• SmartDiagnosis System
• Electronic Temperature Controls
• Dimensions: (WHD): 35 3/4" X 70 1/4" X 36 1/4"

The ice maker leaks which results in freezing a thin piece of ice that clogs the dispenser.

The french doors didnt quite seem to be fitting right either.

Luckily I had a repairman come and fix it, so problem solved.

Its just that when you spend this kind of money you expect the item to work entirely.

One of my friends has the same fridge but has never encountered any issues, so I suppose its just a matter of chance.

eve with the repairs, this is still the best fridge ive ever had.

• Flash Freeze function rapidly cools the unit to -8°F, Warranty: 90 days labor, 1 year parts

• Inside Dimensions: 14.96" h x 11.42"w x 18.50"d, Outside Dimensions: 20.8"h x 24.7"w x 17.7"d

Update 6-2010 it's no longer $474 like it was when I got mine check around or research anything using a "danfoss compressor" and you will have a good list of choices. End of update

At some time we've all bought the $50-$100 "car coolers" for cans which claim they are refrigerators only to find out they at best can lower the temperature a few degrees if you always keep the door closed. The tipoff is in the instructions where it says you should pre-freeze the product before using the cooler! Real refrigeration systems don't need you to prefreeze cans you just want kept cold. Compressor based systems are so powerful they can make ice! The EdgeStar has a "flash freeze" function when you really need to cool down the box in a hurry. During a flash freeze, the compressor draws about 5 amps instead of its normal 3 amps but then returns to normal thermostat settings after the box is chilled so again your battery is protected.

The EdgeStar 43 quart costs $474 because it uses a conventional R134 (green refrigerant) compressor and evaporator just like your home fridge. This equipment is made by Danfoss which is the only manufacturer of 12 VDC compressors (actually 12-24 VDC to be compatible with the marine marketplace). Danfoss compressors are exceptionally reliable and will run for years.

While smaller thermoelectric coolers draw 10A for larger models, these larger boxes only draw about 3A while running the compressor on 12 VDC. Due to their excellent insulation and exceptional cooling ability they don't need to run continuously like the thermoelectric "coolers" usually do. Mine runs about 1/4 of the time on a hot day and 1/12 of the time on a cold day. Calculating amp hours from runtime and amp draw on a hot day you can easily see why the Edgestar doesnt leave you with a dead battery 8 hours later:

Thermoelectric cooler

10A @ 100% time x 8 hr = 80 AH required from battery for 8 hours use

Edgestar Compressor Cooler

3A @ 25% time x 8 hr = 6 AH required from battery for 8 hours use

Given that the typical car battery holds 80 AH in reserve, the thermoelectric cooler will drain it dead in 8 hours without running the engine. The EdgeStar using the compressor cooler is like running your headlights for 20 minutes and leaves you plenty of starting power.

The runtime percentage on the compressor does go up if you want to store frozen goods which you can't even do with thermoelectric coolers. I've made ice with mine without an issue and kept frozen TV dinners overnight in it. I recommend if you are going to use it as a freezer then add a deep cycle battery and/or isolate your deep cycle from your engine battery.

Despite the elephant in the room of the pricetag, the large size, wide temperature range, and construction quality of the EdgeStar is superior all around compared to the typical thermoelectric cooler on the market. You do get what you pay for. If you plan to have a need for portable refrigeration and/or freezing on the road or on your boat, this won't disappoint you. It's also nice to be able to take it into your hotel room and plug it in while not being on the road. Also where thermoelectric units need to be defrosted every 24 hours these units can run for weeks before having to remove the ice that forms.

At $474 it represents amazon's least expensive solution to a true refrigeration portable unit. There are other more expensive units with larger capacity which are suitable if you have space for them. So long as they use a compressor instead of the thermoelectric system you'll be very happy with the results. Ultimately the price is worth it in its ability to cool/freeze reliably and do so without killing your car battery if you accidentally leave it on all day without running the engine.

Buy 43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar Now

First I bought an 86qt,

bigger & heavier than I had imagined, but it's what I ordered.

There were electrical issues with it,

so I called & emailed the retailer, as they offered several solutions to repair it (myself).

The best I could ever do is to get it to run for 1-2 hours,

before it shut off, and flashed 2 or 3 different codes.

Once it was determined the typical fixes would not repair it,

they refunded my money without issue.

I still needed a fridge, so as soon as I got the money back, I ordered one of their smaller models (the 43qt I am reviewing now).

This was a dud right out of the box.

The fan would spin, but it didn't cool at all.

With the 86qt,

customer service eventually fixed the problem (refund),

so I figured the WORST case scenario for me would be more wasted time with a bad unit.

Nope.

They offered no repair solutions whatsoever this time,

even when I offered to look for loose wires, like the last time (I am an Electrician, so I'm sure I was following their instructions to the letter).

Their offer:

Mail it back to us (@ $100 shipping) for a refund,

or bring it to a repair shop local to me, and I pay labor to fix it.

I offered to bring it to any repair shop they chose, for diagnosis, on their dime,

and they flatly refused.

I was told because I was refunded my money for the first unit (86qt above),

they would be unwilling to pay anything else out for any other bad units I may receive.

(even though that original deal was closed, and this was an entirely new, separate purchase from the first).

After a month of haggling over the DOA refrigerator,

my credit card came in to rescue me.

I'm on Amazon right now to try to (finally) solve my need for a 12v refrigerator/freezer,

and I can honestly tell you, these Chinese units,

and their preferred retailer are not it for me.

Aside from that experience with the seller,

Overall,

I did like the form factor of this refrigerator.

There seems to be a very common issue of wires coming loose in transit,

but it is pretty easy to access the internals.

Product build quality seemed OK (aside from the wire issue).

Plastic handles are not for lifting when full,

and the latches are flimsy,

but the box, lid & hinges seemed to be decently built, and solid.

Had either one of these fridges worked,

they would have been a good deal for the price.

As for the compressor being a Danfoss,

It may be a Danfoss/Secop style compressor,

but it was sourced through a Chinese manufacturer, not Danfoss.

(obvious, with a Chinese manufacturer's name & Chinese characters stamped all over the compressor).

If you decide to give them a try, hopefully you will have better results than me.

Read Best Reviews of 43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar Here

First unit failed in 10 days. Replacement sent to me appeared to be a refurbished unit and had a nice dent in the rear and a noisey whine when running. Edgestar gave me a $50 discount to keep the unit as-is which I reluctanly accepted because I did not want to ship it back again and be without a fridge again. This second unit failed just out of the labor portion of the warrenty and cost me over $100 to ship it back and a flat rate repair of $75. I paid less than $500 for this unit originally and now total cost of $675 invested and without a fridge for about a month each time I had to send it back. When I got the unit back from repair it was improperly packed and now had more dents and many scratches. After conveying my disappoinment to Edgestar management they sent me a brand new unit and paid for shipping the old one back. So far this third unit is workinig okay.

Note this unit is made of thin sheet metal and the paint is scratched very easily. It's suppose to be portable but is very heavy and awkward to handle so getting it in and out of a vehicle is not easy and since it dents and scratches easily don't expect it to look good very long. And note it is suppose to have 6" of clearance on all sides so keep that in mind when you haul it in your vehicle. Good luck!

I purchased a refurbished model at a good price, but when it arrived it didn't work at all. I pulled the cover and noticed that 2 spade connectors had come loose in transit (the connections weren't even soldered). Once plugged in the unit worked perfectly. I used it everyday in my office for drinks and snacks in addition to taking it on the road on vacations and camping trips. We used it in freezer mode on a 21-day trip to Alaska. Ice cream stayed firm all the way there, and 26 lbs of halibut filets stayed frozen solid all the way home.

My 3-year extended warranty expired about a month ago, and now it won't cool below 50 degrees. I gave it 3-stars because of the 3 years it lasted, but I'll be upgrading to an ARB, Waeco, or Engel before my next camping trip.

I received my new 43qt fridge and was very excited. I have an 86 quart model that I love.

This new 43qt is defective. After 30 seconds, I get an HH on the temperature display. Looking it up on the web, it states that the room temperature is over 104 degrees. The room temperature is 79. I have nothing around this fridge for 1 to 3 feet in every direction. I have my 86 quart across the room in this same room and it is having no problems.

Instead of paying almost $100 to ship this (very) heavy fridge back, I sent an e-mail to customer support via their website. I received a confirmation e-mail stating that someone would contact me within 2 business days.

Almost a week later, I hadn't heard from them so I tried calling them via the customer service number on their web site. There was no answer!!

The next day, I tried their customer service number again. No one answered but after several rings, I got a voice mail system that told me to leave my information and that someone would contact me. I did so. That was a few days ago and I've still not heard anything from anyone.

So, if you get one that works, you are in good shape, but if there is something wrong with it, you may find your yourself out of some money.

I'll update this feedback if/when I finally hear from someone. Until then, I would recommend looking for something different.

UPDATE:

20110903 I finally heard from someone. They told me that I would have to ship the unit back to them. I insisted they pay the shipping back (as it was going to cost me another almost $100). They agreed to e-mail me a FedEx label. After a few days, I received an e-mail but it wasn't a FedEx label. It was just a copy of an invoice stating their Return policy. I gave them a few days then e-mailed them again. No response. After another week had passed, I e-mailed them yet again letting them know I was preparing to turn this over to an attorney. (I am in my mid-40's. I have never felt the need to sue anyone, so you can see how angry I was.). Within a few hours I received a reply back stating that a FedEx return label would be forthcoming within 24 hours. I received the label almost immediately after I received the e-mail stating they would send it within one day. They let me know that I had to send the fridge back quickly or the label would be void and that I would not be able to return the unit at all. I took it down to FedEx and shipped it the following morning.

I received a brand-new fridge within a week after sending the defective one back. (I received it about 3 days ago.) I have tested the new fridge and it works very well.

I am happy with my new fridge so I raised my rating for them from 1 star to 4 stars. If it hadn't have been for the poor, slow customer service, I believe they would be a 5 star company.

Despite the quality product, I am leery about ordering from this company ever again. I believe if you get a good unit, you will be happy. But, if there is anything wrong with it, you will be very disappointed with the (almost non-existant) customer service.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have a pleasant experience and enjoy your fridge.

LG LT120F Fresh Air Filter

This is the second filter I've used in my LG fridge; replacing them is as easy as spinning the cover so it pops off (with filter attached), then pulling out the old filter, putting in the new filter, and reattaching the cover+filter with a spin and push in the opposite direction.

We have a lot of different foods in the fridge, and have not noticed any problematic smell. Additionally, the filter was about 30% darker than a new one after six months' use, so it's definitely trapping particulates too! Keep your air and water filters fresh, cover/enclose perishable foods and leftovers, and throw away food before it spoils, and your LG fridge will smell neutral for its entire existence--until one of your kids spills something down the back!

Bottom line: This is an OEM filter that fits any LG fridge that uses the LT120F filter perfectly.

We've been using it for the last month and it didn't seem to make any difference in removing the smells in the fridge, a little disappointing.

Koolatron - Koolatron Voyager Cooler

Before retiring I drove a tractor trailer cross country for over 20 years, and used a Koolatron chest cooler nearly all that time. When on the road it would be on 24/7 sometimes for weeks at a time, with very few problems. Koolarton has been around for a long time and makes a great cooler. This cooler is a Canadian product, and still made in Canada to my knowledge. These things work great if you use them properly. Unless you are willing to wait a long time for things to cool down, you must cool items down before putting them in the cooler The colder the better). Also if you cool the inside of the cooler first, that would help even more. That's where a AC/DC converter would come in handy to cool the frig in your house before you place it in your vehicle. This type cooler is extremely slow at cooling down warm items, but great at keeping cold items cold.

A trick I learned when in my truck was to bungee my cooler on the passenger seat and direct my AC vent at the fan side of it, that would keep it super cold inside even on one of those 100+ degree days they get around Phoenix AZ. CAUTION:::Everything will start to freeze in there doing this if you don't watch it and open the door regularly. On a hot day with the sun shining on the cooler its a good idea to keep it covered " Newspaper works " to keep the sun off of it. Note::: Keep everything away from the fan, air needs to circulate in that aria. Also don't pack the food to tight in the cooler, air needs to circulate there also.

I have never had an occasion to used it to heat or keep food hot. But I guess if you wanted to transport hot food to Grandma's or a friends house this would work quite well since it does get quite worm in there. Caution !!! Make sure you know what cycle " Hot or Cold " you are on before you start on a road trip. I personally know it is very easy to have it set on heat when you thought it was on cold if you don't double check it.

This P-27 cooler is a medium sized cooler and has a 29 quart capacity, probably the best all around size for the average family. Two liter bottles and milk containers will stand up inside of it. They also come much larger such as the Coolatron P-95 cooler, with a 45 quart capacity. They even come larger than that, if you have a super large family like on some of those TV shows. Of course they come smaller also, I have one that is mentioned at the end of my review.

If traveling a AC/DC Converter is a must if you need to keep things cold in a motel, or for any extended stop that has a 110 Volt wall outlet. Using the converter with your travel frig at home for extra cold drink storage for company might come in handy also. The Black & Decker CV6B / Vector VEC004 / Travel Mate / Rubbermaid / 6.0 Amp AC/DC Converter will do the job nicely.

I would not let the cooler run with your engine off for much more than a couple of hours, " Enough time to stop for a long lunch or dinner while you are traveling but not to much longer " unless you are ready to have your car jump started. I don't know precisely how long your battery would last, that would depend on the condition and size of it. I do know I have left mine on for over 2 hours in my car with no problems whatsoever.

If used for very long periods of time, dust will accumulate around the fan aria and cut down on it's efficiency. Just remove the fan cover every 6 month's or so and clean out the dust if needed.

I still have a Koolatron chest cooler,that I use for longer trips. But I also have a smaller Black & Decker TC212B Travel Cooler & Warmer which also works well. I use this for day or weekend trips, when I don't have to take to much with me. Check out my review on it for more tip's. Before you leave how about a thumb's up for this review; lots of good advice for you. Thanx

I purchased this cooler for my truck driver spouse in July 2010. Over the years, I have purchased numerous coolers for him and almost none of them last past a year. Warning signs of impending breakdown comes at about six months. So, when I was informed that, yet again, another cooler purchase was in order, I decided to do a bit of research to find a cooler that provides cooling along with durability; which, ended in me buying this item.

According to my spouse this is his best cooler so far.

His likes:

Most important: It keeps food good and cold.

Quiet.

Even when warm to the touch on the outside, inside is beautifully chilled.

His dislikes (though, not enough to strongly condemn)

Power cord falls out easily. This requires frequent checks.

Latch to lock cooler is easily knocked off when closing cooler. However, it is not difficult to reattach.

So, there you have it. I'll update this review on occasion to let everyone know the status of this product.

Update: July 2012-My spouse has been using this cooler for two years now. There's been no issues and it keeps chugging along keeping his food and drink items cold. I would highly recommend this product for anyone that is looking for a reliable cooler that is up for some heavy use.

I bought this cooler for our road trip to Myrtle Beach. I worked out well. I have a baby so I needed to bring lots of snacks, milk and juice for him. I was also able to bring grown up snacks as well. The cooler held everything nice and I still had tons of room for much more. If you have the space it's nice to keep in the car to keep food in when your out and about all day. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Read Best Reviews of Koolatron - Koolatron Voyager Cooler Here

Owned this cooler for just over a year, yes I did use it a lot as a truck driver. Fans have died making cooler / heater non operational and a possible fire hazard... when fans quit working the heat side of the exchanger got extremely hot to the point of way to hot to touch. If I had been away from the cooler for a significant amount of time it may have gotten to the plastic melting / fire stage.

As far as operation when it was working, 1-2 items close to cold air output would be nice and cold, rest of items in cooler are cool not cold. Also very ambient temperature dependent... EG: If you leave it on in winter < 40 Degrees your items will most likely freeze... in summer 3-4 hours to cool down a couple of items.

For Truck drivers the trick is to place the cooler where an A/C vent can blow on the cooler, works really great then.

Overall, cooler worked fine for my needs of cool drinks on the road, the short life span for the price however is a huge disappointment.

Want Koolatron - Koolatron Voyager Cooler Discount?

It does a good job keeping cold things cold. Slow to cool warm things, as expected. Koolatron's 3 amp rating is inaccurate for my P-27, which overloaded a 4 amp regulated power supply but is happy on a 5.5 amp regulated supply.
