Dryer Vent Vacuum Cleaner Attachment

Dryer Vent Vacuum Cleaner AttachmentThis product is not terrible, but I am not sure if it is the best dryer vent cleaning system out there. I was reluctant to get a vent "brush" because I couldn't imagine how a long-handle brush could get all the way down the vent and pick up excess lint...I was pretty sure that a brush would miss areas. The most attractive feature about this product is that you can attach it to your vacuum hose and literally suck out all the lint and other dirt/dust/crumbs/hair/tissue/etc. that could not be caught in the lint trap. My dryer's lint trap is located on the top of my dryer...it is a small flip open top and you basically pull out the long, rectangular lint trap.

The product is basically as shown in the photo...although I imagine it is easier to clean a dryer like the one depicted in the photo. One third of the attachment is a hard plastic tube that fits over your vacuum hose attachment, and the rest is a soft plastic (bendable) hose that actually does reach all the way down my dryer's lint vent. I have also found that this vent vac hose can be used to vacuum other areas of the house that the traditional vacuum hose attachment cannot get to. Examples: under the refrigerator and other various appliances, a/c vents, in small crevasses or under furniture pieces that are close to the ground. The concept of this tool is great, but there is one problem.

When shipped by the distributor (item does not come from Amazon), they packaged it so badly that by the time I opened it up, the hose was very bent...to the point where it created two large creases on the soft plastic hose. I left it out in the sun for a while to soften up so I could re-shape it, but the creases still remained. While this isn't a huge problem, when using the vent vac hose, it has a tendency to close itself off at these creases...thus, airflow is stopped. I had to pull it out of the vent several times to re-shape it but it would continue to do so. After a while, I decided to put my hand down the dryer vent as far as possible to hold the plastic hose at the point where it would pinch itself off...and that did seem to help. It was pretty annoying, however.

All in all, a great concept and I suppose that if it is packaged/shipped with more care, the problem with the hose closing itself off would not happen. The price is right, however, and I was still able to get plenty of lint out that probably had been stuck in the dryer vent for years...so it did do the job, it was just a trying process at times.

I ordered and used this product. I couldn't even use it once because the hose part of the product kept collapsing on itself, disallowing air to go through it. It did NOT work. Even using my fingers to hold the hose open, it barely created enough suction to clean my dryer. Do NOT order this product.

Product did not work successfully as advertized. When connected to a vacuum cleaner, the product collapsed inwards from the machines vacuum, blocking off all flow of the vacuum.

I can't imagine that this worked for a single person. While it fit nicely over my vacuum tube, the curved hose was made of drainage hose, not vacuum hose, because it was not corrugated, it simply closes in on itself and has no possibility of working. This product sucks, and not in a good way. I'm returning it. Don't buy it.

Due to the length of the hose, it has to be folded up for shipping and arrives with kinks in it. The kinked areas close up and cut off the suction from the vacuum so the lint cannot be sucked up through the hose. The lint just got stuck in the end of the hose and wouldn't go up the hose into the vacuum.

166 Bottle Wine Refrigerator with Stainless Steel Framed Door

166 Bottle Wine Refrigerator with Stainless Steel Framed Door
  • Manufactured to the Highest Quality Available.
  • Design is stylish and innovative. Satisfaction Ensured.
  • Great Gift Idea.

Nice cooler. Good price point. I like the controls and the even temperature regulation. The light and door lock are great small "details" that are quite useful. Door hinge is reversible and setup was a breeze.

My biggest issue is the drawer spacing...barely deep enough to accommodate the slightly thicker bottles that seem to dominate the market these days. To access the back of the drawer, the bottles in the front of the drawer get scraped right across the label. If the front row of bottles is turned sideways to keep the label from peeling off, they can't be read. What a nuisance! Needs about 1 more inch of drawer spacing to jump to an excellent rating.

Cooler was delivered to curbside, despite paying $300 for alleged "white glove delivery." Cooler was delivered defective. Plugged in and allowed appropriate time to cool down, however after 12 hours we discovered that the temperature controls did not work. Can not adjust temperature down. Only the UP button works. Called Amazon and were told to contact vendor. Vendor first told us to return in orginal packing with a Fed Ex label. Cooler weighs 275 pounds and was delivered by truck freight! Then they told us to get it fixed under warranty or accept a refurbished cooler if it could not be fixed. Totally UNACCEPTABLE to ask us to repair or exchange a brand new cooler for reburbished when we paid for a new product. Vendor does not accept responsiblity for their product. Product in general cheap construction. One stainless steel side panel dented and sharp spur on handle. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR OR THIS PRODUCT. WE ARE VERY SORRY WE DID.

This is a great purchase! Not only do my wines stay a consistent 54 degress but it looks very classy and cool. You do need to maneuver some of the larger bottles but they usually fit if you pull the shelf out all the way or put the big ones (champagne, etc) on the top or bottom shelf. All in all, I am VERY happy with this fabulous wine fridge.

My fridge made it through its first summer without a hitch. It doesnt seem to draw to much energy since my electric bills didnt seem to increase but a couple dollars. My wine is kept at the perfect drinking temp. Oh, and it is in my garage which can get a bit warm in the summer.

It came exactly as described. I goofed on installation and snapped a small tab off. My mistake. but it is holding up great.

I ordered this item for my Kenmore Dishwasher the top Rack had broken after 8 Years of use and I wanted to fix it. A quick search helped me to discover the correct part number and some price comparison helped me to prove that Amazon had the best price. 4 Stars because the part was about 5 days late but that can't be helped sometimes and you can't complain with free shipping.The vendor was really good any time I contacted them. I bought two because the other one was just as old and by the time the parts arrived I needed both. The part was installed in seconds and the dishwasher is back in business.

****Update****

4-9-2013

About 6 months later the parts are failing. The blue clips seem to be inferior as compaired to the original equipment. The blue plastic is bending under the weight of an average top shelf load of dishes. I wrote the vendor and I was told that there was no warranty replacements because it was too long ago that I had ordered the part however they would be happy to sell me another set. Instead I took the wheels off of the new parts and repaired the original parts with the wheels from the new parts. I hope the wheels last longer than the adjusting clip.

Whirlpool Part Number 2161284: Thermostat Assembly

Whirlpool Part Number 2161284: Thermostat AssemblyThe 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.

Used on older model, thermostat settings are different, but using a refrigerator thermometer it is possible to accurately set this assembly to a desired setting.

Maytag UKF7003AXX PuriClean Interior Refrigerator Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 1-Pack (Discontinued

Maytag UKF7003AXX PuriClean Interior Refrigerator Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 1-PackTo reset CHANGE FILTER light: Press and hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3 seconds). The control is now reset for 12 months or another 416 gallons. [whichever comes first]. Note: the 7003 filter is rated at 6 months replacement because it filters more substances than the 7002. The pricing is the same. I have no problem with this over the past several years. If you buy from maytagfilters.com it will cost more ($35.95 if you buy 3) than the home center pricing ($34.95 for 1), but the AMAZON price is the best around.

After changing the filter, you must reset the Filter Change Indicator Light by simultaneously pressing and holding the "light" and "lock" buttons until the filter lamp begins blinking. Release pads and the lamp turns off. Indicator is now reset.

Good product, not the best price I've found though

Maytag "change filter" lights are not automatic you have to manually reset the light. So long as the filter fits into the filter well, doesn't leak, and water flows to the dispenser it is working. You can download missing owners manuals from

These great filters. So much easier then the bad old

days when the filters was behind the refridge., and

was in line and was a mess to change.

The problems that the one of the previous users

was reporting can be avoided by checking the manual

for your fridge for reseting the warning light. It's easy,

once you know how to do it.

And even if you never get the little red light to go out

the filters come with date stickers so you can be reminded

when it's time to change the filter. Add to that the ease

of installation and the effect filtering and you get a product

that functions very well.

I purchased a new home in august that came with a fridge that used one of these filters. I noticed when I would get water from the fridge water dispensers it would always taste metallic. Then one day the change filter light came on so I bought one of these filters and now the water from the fridge tastes great. These things really do work! They are easy to install as well.

27 Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler

27 Bottle Compressor Wine Cooler
  • Compressor cooling system
  • Interior LED lighting
  • Stores 27 bottles of wine
  • Insulated glass doors
  • Electronic thermostat

Purchased this cooler after reading many favorable reviews over others that trashed the thermoelectric units as being inferior. Well this unit was almost DOA, it worked for 24 hrs then died with over $2000 worth of library wine in it. It was getting warmer when I pulled the wine out as it was above room temp while being set for 53 degrees F. Will look for another brand and hopefully better product reliability.
