GreenFilter compatible with Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter DA29-00003A DA29-00003B DA29-00003G H

GreenFilter compatible with Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter DA29-00003A DA29-00003B DA29-00003G HAFCU1This product is not a replacement for Samsung DA29-0003G filter. I tried to install it in my refrigerator and it didn't fit. Had to return it.

This filter is a bit thinner and longer than the one I normally buy from Sears, so I had to remove a shelf in order to get it installed. The actual part at the top that twists into the filter holder fits as it needs to and there are no leaks.

This filter was easy to install, fits perfectly and both my husband and I agree that our water tastes better.

I haven't had this filter long enough to make a more refined judgement. It's larger than the OEM version but that wasn't a major issue as I just had to remove a shelf to install it. The locking mechanism is not identical to the OEM's but it did install and "click" into place with no leaks. The fact that the unit had absolutely zero external markings or labels and that no water analysis certificate accompanied the unit does not instill confidence. I did notice it took quite a bit more than the usual number of glasses to purge all of the air. My concern is this is may be some cheap piece of you-know-what made in China with who-knows-what on the inside. For all I know it's adding contaminants to the water what with China being a paragon of environmental virtue. Having said that the water tastes fine but then so does the water from my tap.

Haier WDNS116BBS Water Dispenser with LCD Display

Haier WDNS116BBS Water Dispenser with LCD DisplayIn concept, this is a very nice water dispenser. The electronic features are a nice touch and make it look like an advanced, sophisticated unit. Unforutnately the unit falls short in practical use features.

First and foremost, the dispenser makes your water taste absolutely terrible for quite a while. I followed the rinse out instructions from the manufacturer and ran several extra gallons through the dispenser. I tried letting water sit with a little bit of bleach as well. This helped reduce the bad taste some but didn't eliminate it. Two weeks into using this unit, I can't handle the chemical/rubber taste and I'm going to return it.

Secondly, the dispenser has no anti-spill cap for the water bottle. The dispenser is designed so that the user must completely remove the cap from the water bottle and then dump the water into the completely open reservoir. This results in splashing everywhere and wasted water. On top of this, you can't really remove the water bottle to save the water should you need to clean/store the unit (or if you want to save the rest of your water for another dispenser that doesn't make your water taste like chemicals...). I also don't like that your water is exposed to the air and that the top of your bottle sits in the puddle of water in the reservoir.

Finally, the unit is very large and takes up a good amount of space.

On the plus side, there is a nice drainage cap for cleaning out the unit. The electronics on the unit allow you to adjust the temperature of the hot and cold water separately to taste. The blue LED nightlight is a nice touch as well. The storage cabinet below may be a nice feature for some people, but I found it to be largely useless. If they made the storage compartment refrigerated or large enough to store a spare bottle I would have loved it.

For me the water taste issue made this an unusable water dispenser/cooler. I've read reviews elsewhere saying the same thing so I don't believe this to be an isolated incident. On the other hand, I just received a Primo unit (top loading because of the problems with the bottom load ones) and from cup one there are no water taste issues even without a rinse-out.

The machine itself would have been terrific if it wouldn't have that terrible bidder after taste

I have it for two weeks and the taste in the cold water is still there, (although I think that it's getting better)

Wasted plenty gallons of water trying to solve the problem but so far no major results

Overall this unit is ok. Water taste was a bit funky for the first week or so. Water is not as cold as I would like, but overall so far i would say this unit has been pretty solid(1 Month).

We purchased the unit for our office in Oct 2012. As others have stated, it is very difficult to replace the water tank without spilling water all over. The entire cap must be removed before turning the jug upside down. I'm 6'-1" about 210 lbs and its a struggle.

Also, the cold water is just below room temperature. The hot water has been consistently hot.

Lastly, it is rather loud for an office environment. This unit is near a refrigerator and when the refrigerator turns on you can barely hear it.

I would not recommend this unit.

Want Haier WDNS116BBS Water Dispenser with LCD Display Discount?

First of all, I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased this product. I brought it in BJs only because I really wanted a water cooler and this product was the only model available for sale. I was too lazy to wait and search for any other kind. I brought a water cooler from BJs before and it lasted about 10 years... So because it was BJs I gave it a try.

The Haier Cooler is a very good looking machine. Loved that it would go well in the kitchen. I liked the two sides hot and cold water spouts. I like the saftey latches, and the night light was a very kool feature.

I dont like the fact that I have to take the cap off the water and pour it directly into the hole of the cooler. This can get quite messy, and wasteful. I dont like that the well of water that the jug has to sit in. My water when drinking it does have an unusual taste, no matter how I clean the cooler it doesnt go away. The temperature of the hot water is not consistent. I have to keep pressing the temperature button at times to make sure the water stays heated. It is a disappointment when I go to have tea, that the supposely hot water is cold.

The last straw was when the water cooler started to leak everywhere!!!! wasting a new 5 gallon jug..... Because it was still under the manufacturers warrenty (purchased the unit Dec.22nd) I called Haiers Customer Service... they went through the whole registration of product, then read the instructions on what could be wrong and how to fix it (the leak; didnt mention the other problems of water not staying heated)... after many attempts, they promised to replace the product once they received my receipt, proof purchase, and signed agreement form. It seems they were polite and willing to do the right thing.

Although I am happy they are willing to replace the product, I believe I will look for another brand in the meantime because of the many problems I have had thus far... from the beginning. I will just chuck up the lost of $150. I will let you know if they made good on their promise.

Selected Superc 2.5cf Fridge Black OB By Avanti

Selected Superc 2.5cf Fridge Black OB By Avanti
  • Avanti SHP2501B Freestanding Refrigerator.
  • Total Capacity:2.50 ft³. Cooling Type:Auto-defrost.
  • Number of Doors/Drawers:1.
  • Door Type:Reversible. Sliding Door:No.
  • Design:Freestanding. Input Voltage:110 V AC.

We moved in August and needed a new frige. I decided to buy this model so that I had something immediately on-hand. The idea was to upgrade to my dream frige once we were settled in. This Avanti has been working so well, I'm now holding off until it breaks. Yeah, I have to grocery shop more than once a week now but this baby holds all of our basics and is actually saving us grocery money.

The door alone holds 2 half gallon cartons of milk on the bottom rack and yogurt on the top rack. That leaves a lot of room for cheese, margarine, eggs, meat and leftovers.

The downside:

1) When I first plugged it in, it took at least 24 hours before the temperature was cool enough to stop me from wondering if it was broken.

2)There is no freezer so I have to buy frozen items the day I need them and ice cream and pop sicles are no longer items in our household.

3)I don't know if it's from my kids not shutting the door all the way or an internal malfunction but there is sometimes a small pool of liquid on the bottom shelf. There is a crease/indentation there so the fluid is contained. I can't tell if it's defrosting becuase of my kids or if this is done in self maintenance. It really sets off my OCD though.

The upside:

1) I spent $79 (locally) for this instead of over $1200 for the really fancy appliance that I really wanted.

2)We don't waste as much food.

3)I realized that I bought way too many condiments in the past that just never get used. Why did I buy them?

4)I used to buy quite a bit of frozen veggies. I've switched to 100% fresh, local varieties from the farmer's market. We're healthier as a result.

5)It's quieter than my former frige.

6)It still works so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

Bottom line: This is a good investment at the right price!!

Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls

Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic ControlsEven though there was only one review on this wine cellar when I bought it, I decided to go ahead and take the chance on this gift for my husband. The other reviewer said that it is really noisy and I would have to disagree somewhat. If you're looking for a refrigerator that is perfectly silent, this is not; however, it is not disturbingly loud. It has a fan that kicks in to keep it cool & it's the equivalent of the hum of a desktop computer. It doesn't bother me since it's in the kitchen with other noisy refrigerators, dish washers, etc. This unit is a great size -holds just the right amount of bottles that you'd want to chill, it is a very sleek design (although the one we received was not all silver like the one in the picture, it has a stainless door but black on the sides/back) and compliments our other appliances. It easily holds 8 bottles and the door closes easily even with wine stoppers in the bottles. I would definitely recommend getting this one with the digital controls it's worth having the ease of temp control with the push of a button & always being able to tell how cold it is. It holds temperature beautifully and we've had no problems with it so far. Cheers!

Right out of the box, it plugs right into the outlet and begins cooling. One of the reviews said that it was way too loud, but mine hardly makes any sound at all. In fact, you forget it's there, it's so quiet. Perhaps that person's cellar was faulty, who knows all I know is, this is a great little cellar and keeps the perfect temperature.

I purchased this as a christmas present for my husband. I agree with many of the posts, it is a little noisy, but not anymore than any refrigerator. It did a great job, made two buck chuck even taste good! But after two months, it stopped cooling, other wise I woud have given it a higher rating, BUT even though it was a pain to have it die, Haier was wonderful to work with. I called them and they did some trouble shooting with me and agreed, the unit was dead. They emailed me a form to put our serial tag on and fa it in. We are waiting now for our new unit. So I have to give it an extra star for good customer service.

04-28-2013 I have lowered this to a 1 star and I am still getting run around from the company about return. I doubt I will ever see my unit or money.

Do not buy from this company!!

05-04-2013 I wrote an email via Amazon's contact page. Amazon was amazing. They sent me a new fridge OVERNIGHT and a return label to return the old unit. Amazon solved the issue for me in 2 days. If you look at BBB, you will Haier has an F rating and huge amounts of the same complaint I had, never resolved. Thank you Amazon for caring about your customers!!

Pro: compact, nice look, and the wine is at the correct temperature, ( 55 F) Con: This cooler is way too loud.

If I knew that the interior fan made that much noise I will no purchase it.

Want Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls Discount?

I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this item based on reviews for other, larger wine cellars by this manufacturer, but I'm very happy that I went with this one. I think the larger cellars might have too much volume for the cooler to keep up, so they don't work as well, but this one seems to keep an even temperature throughout. It looks very nice, with a blue LED on the inside that you can leave on or turn off. The digital controls are easy to use and make it trivial to keep your cellar at whatever temperature you prefer. When you open the door you can see the temperature go up a few degrees, but it only takes a few minutes to go back down to the setpoint. The racks are shaped only for a standard bottle size, but you can put unusually shaped bottles, like champagne bottles, on the bottom and they fit just fine. Also, there's enough clearance that you can still close the door with bottles that have been opened and re-corked inside. Other reviewers complained about the cellar being loud, but I can't even hear it over the sound of my air conditioner. I'm also really happy with the size because it can sit on my kitchen counter without being a nuisance.

GE 3.2 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator - Black

GE 3.2 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator - Black
  • 3.2 cubic feet
  • Black cabinet, door, handle
  • Wire Can Dispenser, Can rack in door
  • 3 Adjustable shelves
  • Reversible door

I also bought this at Sam's. Be warned: the picture on the box shows another model, which is built-in/recessed. This model requires approx. 2" clearance on each side and should not be recessed.

The fridge is around 29" in height--just below counter-top in our kitchen. This made it easy to find a space for it.

What I don't like about it is that the rear mechanism is uncovered; also the racks are wire racks (when you put bottles on them, they tend to tip over). The crisper has a cutout in the center which simply reduces space...if it wasn't there, you could fill the crisper with cans quite nicely. Instead, I had to remove it completely. Not a big deal.

If you raise the top shelf to only about 4" height, it can hold wine bottles (etc.) on their sides. This allows one of the racks to be sized for 12 oz. bottles. If you don't do that, you can have all racks hold cans, and it will hold a lot of cans, maybe 75?

The middle setting (roughly a 5.5 on a 1 to 10) dropped the temperature to 32 degrees in about 24 hours. I'm assuming the lady above me was getting frost because she was turning it down too low. Do yourself a favor and find a thermometer to get a good temperature. You definitely don't want it below 32; in addition to potentially frosting over, it will cost you more money to run it.

Don't forget--when you buy a new fridge, let it sit for 24 hours before plugging it in! If you don't, all the oil in the compartment will not have settled and the refrigeration components can be damaged. I'm wondering if that's why so many people had to return their first purchase and exchange it for another (this is a common review at the Sam's website).

This is 5 stars based on the price I paid.

WE bought this fridge from Sams Club about a month ago. It works well at keeping drinks cold. We did specifically did not want a freezer section so that part was perfect. My issue is that it is a manual defrost, I did not even realize that any company still made a fridge that had to be manually defrosted. That is the only dw frustrating to downside so far, but how frustrating to know that I am going to have to take everything out at some point and defrost it then let it rechill before I can restock it. So every few months bcomes a two day process.

I'm loving this little refrigerator. I use it for bottled drinks which saves a lot of space in my full sized fridge. It cools the drinks evenly and has no flaws that I have seen. The only drawback I'd mention is that it's a little bit ugly. It has a lock on it, which would certainly be perfect for dorm room use, but that makes the overall appearance a bit more like a safe and less like a refrigerator. I would just as soon that it not have the area for cans in the door, since I buy all of my drinks in bottles, but it has tons of space elsewhere, so there is no loss created by having that space specially designed for cans. I also keep some cheese in the fridge, and it works beautifully to keep that cool along with the drinks. I recommend it, and I think that the lock would be a valuable feature to many people out there.

  • 4-3/5-cubic-foot compressor-cooled refrigerator/freezer with rotary thermostat

  • 3 adjustable full-width glass shelves; full-width convertible drip/storage tray
  • 3 door shelves fit 2-liter and gallon-size containers; Dispense-a-Can storage space
  • Measures approximately 22-1/4 by 20-1/2 by 32 inches; 1-year limited warranty

I purchased this refrigerator for my office. It is to be shared by a group of 5 people, so I wanted one that was a little bigger than the typical compacts. I paid for overnight deliverly as others had suggested. The unit arrived in a box that had been previously opened. I was a bit worried when I removed the item from the box. It had some large dents on the side, but was otherwise ok. Once I plugged it in, I realized there were bigger issues. The motor was very loud and was cycling constantly. It would run for seven minutes and then would be off for four minutes, then on for seven, off for four yes I actually timed it. Everytime the unit came on it startled me. At first I thought that once the motor broke in, that it would become quiet. That did not happen. After having the unit for 24 hours and spilling a cup of coffee on my desk from my rattled nerves, I called Amazon for a replacement unit.

The new refrigerator arrived the next day. Once again, it arrived in a box that had previously been opened. The replacement had a large dent on the door, but otherwise works great. It is so quiet. I barely notice it when the motor is running. What a difference! I actually check it on occasion to make sure that it is working because I don't notice it at all. I switched doors with the first refrigerator and now I have a unit that has no significant dents and it doesn't interrupt my work environment. The actual refrigerator is nice looking and has a lot of interior space. After the experience with the first one, I am a bit concerned about the reliability, but for now, I am satisfied.

Well I hate to be the one to leave a bad review, but I must. My husband and I bought this fridge and received it 2 wks. ago. Yesterday, my husband noticed that it was not making any noise and realized that the insides of the fridge were no longer cool. The compressor was so hot that it could not be touched. We unplugged it and let it cool down and thought that it would maybe come back to life. No such luck! It's dead.

I have requested to send it back but I no longer can find the packaging slip so that I have the address to send it back to. We will see how returning it goes, but for that kind of $$. I just hope that they take it back and give me a refund.

This was a replacement for one we had in the garage (man den). It's actually better because it has more space to store beverages and it seems to keep them much colder. I'm very happy with this fridge.

The first one came in damaged (most likely during shipping). The box had several holes in it and there were dents in the door, top and side of the unit. I called Amazon the next day and they were great in handling the replacement and the return of the damaged one, they sent the replacement out right away. I think we had it two days. Amazon arranged for UPS to pick the damaged one back up and said that UPS would call me to schedule a pickup.

The only thing negative thing (which really isn't that bad) is that although I was told that UPS would call me to schedule a pick up, they never did. I then received an email from Amazon saying that I only had a few days left to return it or I would be charged again. I immediately contacted them and told them that UPS never called and they handled it again right away. UPS never called to shedule a pick up again. However they did finally leave a pick up tag at my door one day saying that the next day would be their 3rd and final attempt! I didn't even know they did a 1st and 2nd attempt.

I have to say that Amazon's Customer Service has really been great!

When it arrived, the box was open and torn. As soon as we opened the box the rest of the way, the top of the fridge was very obviously dented in, we're talkin a good inch and a half dented. But since it's for our bar area we decided to keep it. It has a lot of space and gets cool quickly, but does make a bit of noise. I probably wouldn't buy from this company again though. For it to be that damaged when it arrived doesn't bode well for durability.

Whynter BWR-18SD 18 Bottle Built-In Wine Refrigerator

Whynter BWR-18SD 18 Bottle Built-In Wine Refrigerator
  • Capacity: 19 standard 750ml wine bottles
  • Tempered double pane gray-smoked glass for enhanced UV protection
  • Digital LED temperature control with temperature range from 40ºF - 65ºF
  • Powerful fan-circulated compressor cooling ensures even temperature distribution
  • Security lock and key

I received the fridge yesterday and it was in good condition, and when I turned it turned on it dropped the temperature inside from 76 to 54 in about 15-20 minutes. It appears to be made of quality construction and since its a fridge and not a cooler Im expecting it to last a long time. The one issue is that when the coolant cycles there is a noise that can be heard outside the kitchen. Im not sure if thats what I can always expect but Im going to see how to correct that.

I picked the Whynter because I found a site that reviewed wine fridges () and the Whynter had good reviews.

I purchased this item about four months ago and I still love it. I was looking for a narrow wine fridge that that I could install into the center island in my kitchen. I did not have much space so this 12" wide model was perfect. I still cant believe it holds as much as it does. I purchased this on my Prime Membership and had it shipped overnight for $4 (I have no idea how Amazon makes any money when they will ship a big item for $4) Anyway, I have noticed that at times the fridge does make some noise but it is nothing that will ever bother you. This fridge does drop the temperature of bottles very quickly. I am very happy with this fridge, I would highly reccomend it.

This is the best one you can get for the kitchen, fits perfectly as if it was always there.

Samsung RF323TEDBSR 31.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Samsung RF323TEDBSR 31.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • Ice Master Produces Up To 12 Lbs. Of Ice
  • Twin Cooling Plus System
  • High-Efficiency LED Lighting
  • Dimensions (WHD): 35 6/8" X 70" X 37 6/8"

A bit of history... We purchased the Kenmore Elite 31 cu.ft. version last December (2011) from Sears. After dealing with multiple failures and constant service calls (all on the ice machine), we finally traded it in for this one. We basically had three choices for a large capacity French door fridge the Kenmore Elite, the LG and the Samsung. After nearly a year of dealing with constant service calls and erratic ice, I wasn't willing to give that ice machine set-up another try. So we went with the Samsung. (The LG has the same mechanisms as the Kenmore).

The Good:

I have to say I was a little disappointed at first. I like the open shelf space that the in-door ice machine affords. I also like the three layers of drawers in the freezer. That all changed once I loaded up the new Samsung. The extra space in the door of the Samsung turned out to be WAY more than I anticipated. The Kenmore and LG have the slim shelving on the ice machine side. That seems like it would be enough, but let me tell you, it's not. Those shelves are so slim, that hardly any condiments fit in them. And you can only fit one row. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you are rifling through a full refrigerator looking for a small but too-round-to-fit-in-the-door jar of jelly that has made its way to the back of the bottom shelf because you don't use it that often. Having all of my myriad of condiments, jellies, dressings and miscellaneous jars of whatever that those side shelves are meant for, is worth the less than open feel of the interior of the fridge. And although the interior seems smaller because of the ice machine, the Samsung is actually one cubic foot larger than the LG and the Kenmore that doesn't seem like a lot, but my full Kenmore Elite was noticeably less full when I transferred everything to the Samsung. That additional one cubic foot along with the extra side shelf space made a HUGE difference.

The other big plus is that you can open the right side drawer on the Samsung even if the left door is closed. You couldn't do that with the Kenmore. To open the drawer on the right side, you had to open BOTH fridge doors. Who's bright design idea was that?

Mixed Review Features:

The doors are SO easy to open. With the Kenmore, there were times I had to really pull to get them open. And sometimes the kids couldn't even get them open which can be a blessing or a curse. Now my six year old is easily able to get herself another glass of milk... unfortunately, so is my two year old J

The only noticeable difference with the doors is how they close. The Kenmore was difficult to open, but easy to close. That meant a LOT of unintentionally slammed doors. The Samsung has a sort of catch before the door closes. Basically it just means that you have to want to close the door. It definitely won't be closing on its own. Again, that could be a good point or a bad depending on your preference. Also, the left door is configured in a way that it doesn't stay open on its own. If you can open it and hold it open for a minute, it will stay. But if you just push it all the way open, it WILL close on you. I spoke to a technician and that's how it is nothing can be changed. It's only a big deal with I'm loading up the weekly groceries. I move a bar stool over to hold it open and it works fine. Small inconvenience.

The ice dispenser (the few times is actually worked) on the Kenmore was fine, but I really am not a fan of push one button, get some ice, push another button, get the water. The Samsung has two separate "paddles" one for ice, one for water. Very convenient especially for the kids. Not very convenient is the location of the water dispensing tube. I've already soaked the kitchen floor three times. It is very close to the front. I actually find myself holding the glass forward and pushing the water paddle with my finger. Not very convenient. It works fine for large glasses or pitchers, but not standard glasses, and definitely not sippy cups or smaller glasses. Speaking of pitchers this one is big enough to fit our Zero Water pitcher and the water container for our coffee maker. The Kenmore, while tall, was just barely too short to fill either all the way.

Another nifty feature is that the ice maker will push extra ice down into the bottom freezer into an ice bin. This is a good and bad. It's good because the upper ice bin is small. If you have a large group of people who all use ice, you will probably run out. However, this fridge will automatically fill an ice bin in the top drawer of the freezer. That bad news is that it takes away from some space in your freezer. Even if there is a way to turn this function off (I haven't looked into it yet), there is a chute to contend with. If you put food too far back on that side of the top drawer in the freezer, it will prevent it from closing.

The ONE thing I don't like:

Only having two layers of drawers in the bottom freezer. The bottom section is DEEP. There really is no way to organize such a deep drawer with the irregularly shaped frozen food products. At least no way to organize it and keep it that way while actually using it. I find myself constantly reorganizing or digging for things.

Overall:

Even though it was a pain, I'm so glad we had to exchange our Kenmore. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Samsung. Having had both, I would HIGHLY recommend the Samsung over the Kenmore and probably the LG since it is configured basically the same way. If you are looking for a large capacity French door with a bottom freezer THIS is your fridge!

Other Notes:

I purchased this from Sears and I cannot emphasize how happy I am with Sears Service. I had the Blue Crew out 6 times over the span of 11 months. During those 6 visits, I only saw two different technicians, both of whom were very knowledgeable and patient and willing to do anything to help get my ice machine to work. One of the techs even went out of his way to take some of the parts outside to assemble them because it would be noisy and my two-year old was taking a nap! Talk about Customer Service!! When I finally threw in the towel on the Kenmore, it was a very quick and easy process to return the old fridge and get a new one. The Customer Service Rep was extremely nice and apologetic and made the return process completely hassle-free!

I have done a few months research before buying this model and have had it for over a month now. I would buy it again.

CDI's earlier review is absolutely spot on (please read it), I do not want to repeat but will add a couple of points.

Design it is a sleek looking, clean design. We went back and forth between this and the LG and thought this one wins. It is personal of course. For example the water/ice dispenser cavity edges do not protrude out or overlap with the stainless steel face think of a under-mount sink in your kitchen vs regular one. Display is cleanly organized and the blue lights are cool.

Noise it is a fair bit quieter than the old side by side Whirlpool it replaced. Consumers report has the fridge in their top choice category overall and rates noise to be Very Good. Very few have Excellent in that category. Noise level probably depends on the specific setup. My fridge is in a cavity and that muffles the noise for sure. If one of the sides is exposed, noise will be more noticeable. Perhaps going into a quiet store and giving it a listen can help.Not a concern for me though.

A piece of advice. Both LG and Samsung have stainless steel covered ice and water dispenser plates/buttons. If you push the plates a few times with a glass or ceramic cup, plates will scratch. I bought tablet screen protector, cut two pieces shaped like the plates and it worked very well.

The only thing that could be improved is freezer layout. As pointed out before, bottom drawer is deep and could have been split in two levels, i.e. have three levels in the freezer as opposed to two. It would not be fair if I deducted a star for that as there are so many other things done right on this fridge, hence my rating.

This replace a 5 year old GE. Have had this model for 6 months. The interior set up is the best we could find, it is quiet, and flexible and works well for a family with 3 boys. It has only 1 flaw that keeps us from giving 5 stars. The Icemaker doesn't perform as we would expect for a high $$ fridge.

I love this huge fridge I don't even know where to put stuff there is so much room. It is much quieter than the whirlpool I had. Crushed ice and cold filtered water for every one, no more can you get me water? all day. The lighting is awesome and all the different thing to do with shelving just awesome. Samsung just keeps making my house awesome, TV, BlueRay,Tab, Cell and now Fridge Samsung you rock now make then all talk to one another.

Update 2months later love even more this is why. My 2 year old found out where everyones water comes from and as independent as she is gave it a try. Yep! unsupervised and unfazed by the gallons of water on the floor. The water dispenser is non age discriminatory however there is a fix just hold the lock button and presto kid proof. Our friends have all had this problem we are told (after the fact of course ) but they don't own Samsung with the lock button.

The unit is big. Lots of storage space. I thought two ice makers was overkill, but I use both daily. The water seems to flow faster than our old unit. Inside the refrigerator the shelves adaptability are comparable to most units in this price range. I like the French door design with the freezer on the bottom. Finding items in the freezer is relatively easy with two drawers. What I don't like: it is on the noisy side. The door ice maker is slow to start. The freezer door pulls out farther than one would think, but you have to pull hard for the last bit. Lastly, the freezer door does not always shut all the way. I feel the pros out way the cons and would buy the unit again. I got it on sale at lowes with a five year warranty for around 2500. I hardly ever get the warranties but i feel the quality of appliances have degraded over the years to the point that necessitates getting one. Unfortunately, I have had to use my warranties on most of my new appliances. When this one fails I will move everything to my 30 year old refrigerator in the basement like I did with the last one

WF282 Replacement Water Filter

WF282 Replacement Water FilterIt fits into my GE refrigerator and seems to work well. Much cheaper than GE brand. Google it and you will find similar filtration claims for both this one and the GE brand.

Read the directions when you replace it and it won't clog. Directions say to fill with tap water and then insert into refrigerator. Next run 1 2 gallons of water through filter to completely fill it.

This is a filter is a fake! While the description claims it fits my model refrigerator it does not. The threads are completely different so it will not even screw in.

I purchased this filter from a discount filter store on-line. It worked fine for about two weeks and then clogged. I was about to call for repairs on the refrigerator, but instead I replaced it with the genuine GE product and so far no troubles with the GE filter.

Bought three filters to save money. 1 of 3 didn't work. Water went into the filter, but nothing came out. The other two filters fit and worked fine. Bought this to save money. It turns out I didn't save anything. I should have bought GSWF 3 packs.

Take your chances with after market items. Hope it's not Made In China. Oops I just looked at the box and it's Made In China. Great! Now I hope I didn't get poisoned by chemicals.

These water filters are the least expensive filters I have been able to find for my GE refigerator.

It is important to run water from the water dispenser after installing these filters. This will not only ensure that you have properly seated the filter during the installation, but will also clean the excess carbon particles from the water line.

If you don't fully seat the filter no water will flow to your ice maker or water dispenser. (note: it is hard to tighten these filters, but just be persistent) I know this from experience and got lucky because no water was flowing since I had neglected to flush the line after the installation. When I flushed the line after fully seating the filter, it produced black water from the water dispenser until fully flushed. After running a couple glasses from the dispenser everything was running crystal clear. I am very happy that I didn't end up with black ice cubes, because of my original error in not flushing the line after the install.

Bottom line: Excellent replacement for the much more pricey GE original water filters.
