10 Cu. Ft. Frost Free Refrigerator

10 Cu. Ft. Frost Free Refrigerator
  • 10 cu. ft. (282 litre) capacity
  • Frost free operation
  • 2 adjustable wire refrigerator shelves
  • CanStor beverage dispenser
  • Reversible door hinge for left or right hand opening

I bought one about 18 months ago. It's just the right size for the apartments in my building.

The problem is that now the interior LED light flashes on and sometimes goes completely out.

I can't find anything in the manual about this problem or how to fix it.

I'm greatly disappointed since i have bought other Danby products before and they have been good purchases.

I ordered a $32 dollar filter but was sent a $21 dollar filter as a substitute was still charged $32. The other amazon reviewers have the $21 dollar filter low marks saying it was prone to developing leaks. Amazon customer service was no help.

Works fine, easy to install. I'm a renter, but still had to replace the filter in the refrigerator myself, so I was glad it was easy enough to order and install.

Haier HCR17B Refrigerator/Freezer, 1.7-Feet Cubic, Black

Haier HCR17B Refrigerator/Freezer, 1.7-Feet Cubic, Black
  • Half-width freezer compartment with ice cube tray
  • Full-width slide-out wire shelf
  • Full-width and half-width door storage shelf
  • 2-liter bottle door storage
  • Recessed door handle

At first I was a little skeptical of the Haier brand due to issues with other units but this one isn't so bad. It gets cold and on the coldest setting I've actually managed to freeze some of the stuff I put in it without putting it in the little freezer compartment and if you want more room just remove the freezer compartment. Good deal for the price.

Update: 7/28/12

Still working like a charm. Had problems closing due to ice buildup on the freezer compartment but has been cleared up and it is working fine. It does not shake hard when running or make unbearable noises and I keep this in my bedroom. I have owned louder fish tank filters. Good deal if you want something to keep snacks and beverages cold. Couldn't fit a small pizza box in it to give you an idea of the size.

It keeps items cold; freezer freezes; it is ultra quiet and efficient; compact and well designed inside and out; what more can one ask? I bought mine for my office and I couldn't be happier.

This item was delivered on May 8, 2013 and broke down sometime between May 25, 2013. I don't know if this is normal or not for this kind of mini fridge.

I purchased this for my mom in July 2012. It died in May 2013. Off to Costco tomorrow to get a small Samsung.

It looks like it's second hand and water leaks out of the fridge. I wish I could return it, but I couldn't because nobody could help me move it to the post office.

Compact Freezer Refrigerator with Lock - Stainless Steel

Compact Freezer Refrigerator with Lock - Stainless Steel
  • Easily converts from 0° compact freezer to a refrigerator
  • Comes complete with lock and two keys; Full range thermostatic temperature control
  • True stainless steel door with black cabinet; Reversible door
  • External Dimensions: 19 3/8 x 18 9/16 x 17 3/4
  • Internal Dimensions: 13.5" H x 14" W x 13" D

The EdgeStar has much to boast of: it is lightweight, easy to carry and move, roomy, attractive, and versatile as both a refrigerator and (marginally) as a freezer. Setup is simple, and the price is excellent. Strongly tainting this appliance however, is a thermostat dial which is either incompetently designed, incompetently calibrated, or both

Before continuing, let's not fail to note the advertised description for this product: "Just turn the thermostat to select the appropriate temperature for your application!"

Falling with equal snugness on the Things That Make You Go Duh list is the instruction manual telling us that "The knob has markings to indicate the relative temperature settings, but in general, turning the knob counter-clockwise corresponds to colder temperatures."

So if we turn the dial one way, it gets colder. Turn it the other way it gets warmer. We can handle that. The markings on the dial bear witness to and confirm this elegant conception of appliance design:

regrigeration------> MIN......OFF.....MAX

freezing-----------> MIN......||......MAX

Interesting then, that in practice there is *no* temperature change in the freezer when dialed to "MIN", or dialed to "MAX". I measure both at a steady 20 degrees.

With some playing, one discovers that colder temperatures are achieved, erratically, within the petite 1.5 millimeter space between the two vertical lines separating "Min" and "Max".

Moving counter clockwise per instructions along the dial after the arrow marked "Freezer", the temperatures I normally get are, in order:

20 (when dialed to "Min")

15 (when dialed to the left vertical line)

4 or 12 degrees (when between the two vertical lines)

10 (when dialed to the right vertical line)

20 (when dialed to "Max).

Perhaps the advertised 0 degree capability is buried someplace within the 1.5 mm space between the two vertical lines, but after several days of moving the dial minutely to the left or right, I'm unable to find it.

Additionally, after reaching the coldest discernable temperature of 4 degrees once, it took me 2 days to find it again while continuing my hunt for the elusive advertised 0 degrees.

This is especially frustrating since it takes about half a day or more for a temperature change to be reached within the freezer after moving the thermostat dial -and when you move it, you don't know for certain if you're making it colder or warmer.

Which is to say, this isn't a particular fast appliance: The manual recommends not introducing frozen food to the freezer until it's been turned to the coldest setting (wherever that is) for at least 2 hours after turning it on. That seems wildly optimistic to me. In practice, it takes roughly 5 hours to freeze undersized 1" ice cubes from power-up using the tray bundled with this freezer.

To its credit, the EchoStar is fine as a refrigerator, and fine as a freezer as long as you aren't picky about hitting the the normally recommended 0 degrees for frozen foods.

But sorry, it should not require several days to find the coldest temperature on a device by nudging a dial back and forth within a space of a milimeter. And oddly enough, even without the instruction booklet telling me to do so, I fully expect "Max" to be colder than "Min", and not be actually located at some microscopicly ambiguous point between the two.

"Just turn the thermostat to select the appropriate temperature for your application!"

Yeah. Duh.

I was concerned when I ordered this product based on other feedback. I let the freezer sit for a couple hours after unpacking. I turned it on and set to max freeze and placed an icecube tray inside. It took 75 minutes for the water to freeze. We took it camping with us and after unplugging camper it took six hours for the ice cubes to melt.

Good points-

1) Small enough to carry up the stairs without help

2) Quieter than expected

3) Unlike a chest freezer, this one lets you have easy access to the contents

4) Low cost for electricity

Bad points

1) This is not for you if you're looking for something big enough to store a deer or other large item. For me, it's just the right size.

Just got this little beauty around 5:00pm today and plugged it in shortly after with freezer temp set to max and putting in a new Freezer thermometer. I read the post about defective temp control, but saw that others had 'no problem' so I played dumb and just cranked it up. Just as well, as it is now 7:30pm and I heard the freezer pump go off. I looked in the door and the thermometer was at rock bottom minus 20 degrees. Wow am I happy. My main refrigerator freezer is set well enough to keep frozen foods at 0 degrees and that's what I want this little model to do also. I turned the thermostatic control back a quarter turn to rest it between max and min on the freezer side. I'm thinking that it will now level out at zero.

How it works was my first concern, so now that that is settled I can only also add what others have said: It looks great!

It looks beautifully made and I won't be surprised to have this unit for many years to come. I got it to hold frozen foods I take out of my main refrigerator while I am thawing out my main refrigerator. I'll bet I start cheating now and start using this little gem to horde my favorite Ice Creams or stock up on meats or who knows what. A very good purchase at a very good price. I would highly recommend to a friend.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which one of the compact Freezers to buy..... none of the review sections were convincing. I went with the Edgestar because of the option of being a freezer OR a refrigerator.

It does come double boxed, mine had no marks on it. Cut the straps, take out the foam corners remove the first box. Then LIFT the second box right off the unit (it has not fixed bottom) it couldn't easier. I then put the thermostat on max and 45 minutes later my new analog Taylor refrigerator/freezer non-calibrated thermometer said -15 degrees. It never got colder on THAT thermometer (rightly or wrongly). For the reviews where some of these units never worked....... it crossed my mind, before I noted the bottom of the box design, to tip the box over and get the unit out that way until I remember being told years and years ago(rightly or wrongly) that if the compressor/gas goes "upside down" it is then ruined....... So maybe that is why some of these units aren't working out of the box?

So far so very good.

Whirlpool WDF750SAYB Gold 24" Black Full Console Dishwasher - Energy Star

Whirlpool WDF750SAYB Gold 24' Black Full Console Dishwasher - Energy StarI am a fan of this dishwasher, I've had it for about two months now. It's quiet, has a sensor cycle, and apparently it's very energy efficient. What's great about the dishwasher is that it cleans very well when I use the sensor cycle. What's not so great?

The lower rack is not very versatile for different dish configurations. The top rack is much more flexible and can load a variety of dishes/bowls/cups. The lower rack seems reserved for large dishes and does not allow many different configurations.

Aside from that, and it's not really that big a deal this washer has been great and cleans exceptionally well. It's a good buy for the price (I got it for $500 at Sears). Even for six I think it would be a good deal.

Frigidaire FFTR1513LW 15 Cu. Ft. White Top Freezer RefrigeratorFrigidaire FFTR

Frigidaire FFTR1513LW 15 Cu. Ft. White Top Freezer Refrigerator
  • 15 cu. ft. top freezer refrigerator
  • Two Store-More humidity-controlled crisper drawers
  • One Store-More gallon door shelf
  • 2 wire sliding shelves
  • 2 full-width fixed door racks and 1 half-width fixed door rack

Within two weeks after the warranty expired this refrigerator broke down. The light would still go on when you opened the door but the cooling would not work no matter what setting you set it at. Now I have to have an expensive repair done. I should have known better. I've had Frigidair refrigerators in the past and they have all broken down. Save yourself the trouble and pick ANYTHING but a Frigidaire.

Buy Frigidaire FFTR Now

This is the smallest full size refrigerator available, at 14.8 cu ft. I bought one to replace my 21 year old 12 cu ft Frigidaire, this being the only model that would fit under my built-in cabinets. I thought it would be a little quieter, and well as larger. But no! The manual specifically says, "Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator ... the compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound." I rate that hum as about an A below middle C, right in our normal voice range, therefore making it extremely hard to hear the TV when the compressor is running. My old Frigidaire had a low pitched hum which altho loud, did not interfere with hearing the TV. Now who is going to buy a very small refrigerator? Certainly not a well-to-do person in a large house, where the kitchen is separated from the living room by a dining room, halls, etc. No, generally a small refrigerator is going into a small house. My kitchen, dining, and living space are all in one 11.5x23 foot room, and my Danish recliner is exactly 3 feet from the refrigerator. Every time the compressor comes on, I have to turn up the TV, and when it turns off, I return to normal volume. This is disgracefully bad planning on the part of Frigidaire. Which would you rather have a larger and noisier refrigerator, or a smaller and quieter one?

On top of this, once the delivery men install the refrigerator, one naturally looks at the literature and wants to send in the warranty card, which requires the serial number. My old refrigerator had the serial number conveniently inside the refrigerator on the right hand wall. This new refrigerator has the serial number on the back, so now it must be pulled out away from the wall to read the number. (The literature does not contain the serial number.)

You will also note that every photo of Frigidaires on the internet is so washed out that you can't see them. A company that has so little concern for the real needs of its customers does not deserve to remain in business.

NFL Atlanta Falcons Counter Top Refrigerator

NFL Atlanta Falcons Counter Top RefrigeratorBut I'm disappointed that the refrigerator was nothing more than a plain white counter top refrigerator with nothing more than a sticker on it. If you buy this, make sure to get at least one self adhesive furniture pad... you'll need it to level out the front left leg. Come on, for this price, I could have bought half of a full-sized stainless steel model.
