LG WM2655HVA

LG WM2655HVA
  • Steam Cycle
  • Certified Allergiene Cycle
  • Quiet Operation
  • Dimensions (WHD): 27" X 38 11/16" X 29 3/4"

This is my first front loader. This washer gets my clothes clean clean clean! Matter of fact ,since I bought this unit everyone keeps complimenting me on how good my clothes smell! The spin cycle is barely audible, which is a non issue as mine is out in the garage. The end of cycle is a surprising little melody instead of a buzzer. My 8 year old is pretty messy with ketchup and so far, knock on wood, this baby hasn't missed one stain. I am not even sure how it cleans the clothes so well considering the amount of water it uses, but it does an amazing job and they are so fresh too! I feel very grateful to have this set. I have the matchibg steam dryer and it is just as awesome!

I purchased an LG Washer WM2655HVA 4 months from Home Depot. A couple of months after purchasing the Washer we started facing issues with this Washer when it started giving an LE indicator ( indicating heavy load ). Though the load of clothes was average, we kept getting this message results every other day till we called LG Customer Representative who told us to reduce the load. Yesterday I put only 1 bedsheet for washing & we again faced the issue for 2 hrs 50 mins. We had to call LG/Home Depot & the Customer Representative told us that we should contact their Service Technician in our area to look at the issue. When we contact the Technician he immediately told us that the Motor would need to be replaced even without coming to our place to check the issue. It means that this ia a known issue with LG Washers that within few months of its operation we face this issue. I would highly discourage everyone not to buy LG products.

Purchased the unit in July and the damn thing is broken already. The "LG" stands for LICKS GASH. Do not purchase this from HH GREGG or anyone else. RUN FROM THIS UNIT!!!

Fisher & Paykel Izona RX216DT7X2 21.6 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator

Fisher & Paykel Izona RX216DT7X2 21.6 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator
  • 21.6 cu. ft. storage capacity
  • Humidity crisper bin
  • Beverage chiller
  • Vegetable & meat drawers

We purchased this refrigerator from a Menard's 70 miles north of our hometown. At the time we weren't really looking for a refrigerator, but the one we had was very small and not that functional.

We saw this refrigerator on a "special buy" and bought it on the spot! We purchased it for $899!!!

This is a sleek beautiful machine. There is a compartment on the door with its own sliding doors for milk, juice, etc, that has direct airflow from the freezer! It makes those drinks so cold and yummy! There are adjustable glass shelves that make it very easy to keep clean, one small drawer, one large drawer, and one drawer with an angled bottom that sits over the compressor.

On the freezer side, there are several wire shelves but, there are also deep pull out baskets! The baskets are so much easier to use than stacking items up in a freezer full of shelves and having to unpack an entire shelf to get to the back item!

I also want to point out that there are two lights on the fridge side and a the freezer side it lit as well. I have never had a fridge, either top feezer, or side by side that has a lit freezer!!!

There are digital controls, a filter order and filter replace indicator and a door open alarm.

I love this fridge, it's huge, but it looks so nice in our small kitchen!

Frigidaire Ice Maker / Icemaker 5303918277, 218699501, M1

Frigidaire Ice Maker / Icemaker 5303918277, 218699501, M1
  • Works with the following models: Frigidaire KS540NKW1, Frigidaire KS540NKW2, Frigidaire KS860NKW1
  • Frigidaire KS860NKW2, Frigidaire REG433MNW2, Frigidaire RG533NL1, Frigidaire RG533NW1

I bought this icemaker to replace the icemaker that wasn't working in my 2003 side-by-side Frigidaire fridge. It looked the same as the one I had, but it wasn't the same part #, so I took a chance and bought it. IT WORKS GREAT! It took me 2 minutes to remove the old icemaker and install this one (literally). All you have to do is loosen the two screws on the side, lift the icemaker off the screws (brackets on the side) and then unplug the wiring adapter. It really is that simple. This price was a third of what I found elsewhere. If you need a new icemaker...this is one Do It Yourself that you really can do!

Great replacement part at half the cost from Kenmore. It has been working like a champ from the day I installed it. Installation was a breeze since all the connections were supplied with this unit (something you need to ensure comes with your unit not all dealers include the cables).

We've got a 20+ year old refrigerator/freezer and the ice maker has gone kaput. After much research, Frigidaire told me that this was the model I needed; but, after buying it, it was clear the connectors are different. Wasn't sure if it could be wired by an electrician, but going deeper into the Frigidaire ranks of technicians, I was told that the differing power requirements could start a fire, so I, unfortunately, had to return it. Note to others: if you have a really old refrigerator, ask Frigidaire to send you a picture of the connector before you buy so you can see if you have a chance of getting them to match. I wish I had.

Easy to install....perfect replacement for our 15 year old ice maker. Just made the connections using the adapter enclosed with the kit-----mounted it onto existing screws inside the freezer----was filling with water within one hour. Thought about troubleshooting parts inside but for bucks and no need to call a plumber, this is a better value!

I LIKE THE FRIGIDARIE ICE MAKER IS GOOD. I WOULD RECOMMED THIS ICE MAKER TO ANYBODY THAT HAS THE SAME ICEMAKER IN THEIR FRIGIRATER.

Amana 25 Cubic Foot French Door Refrigerator, AFD2535FES, Stainless SteelAmana

Amana 25 Cubic Foot French Door Refrigerator, AFD2535FES, Stainless Steel
  • 24.8 Cu. Ft. Total Capacity
  • Rated a "Best Buy" By a Leading Consumer Magazine
  • Temp Assure Freshness Controls
  • EasyFill Internal Filtered Water Dispenser
  • SofSound Quiet Package

We saw the Amana French-door bottom-freezer fridge about a year ago and fell in love with it. As it turns out, we have had a fairly mixed experience with it.

I'll say that there are quite a few things that we like about it. Overall, we like the layout and flexibility of this fridge a lot. All of the shelves are adjustable to allow for customizing the space for what we need. The layout makes the fridge feel bigger than the other 25 CF fridges we've used or looked at. The quality of the ice maker and water filtration is nice. I do find the bottom-freezer a nice feature for our family. The best feature of the French-doors for us is that they don't swing open as wide as conventional doors, which is good for energy usage and for not blocking passage through our tight kitchen. They're also convenient when you have to grab something quick out of the door.

That said, after using it a while, there are a few things that we don't like about this fridge:

1) After a few months of use, it started getting kind of loud. As it turns out, this was the sound of the cooling fan dying. When it finally died, we had no cold air in the fridge compartment. It was still under warranty, but I wasn't happy about replacing the fan after only about 7 months. (It's still occasionally louder than I'd prefer, but most of the time it is OK.)

2) The water filter dispenser is on the inside of the fridge compartment rather than on the outside of the unit. Combined with the fact that its flow is a little on the slow side, it seems to me that a lot of energy is wasted each time I have to leave the door open for 30 seconds to get a glass of water.

3) The top cover of the Chef's Pantry drawer is not the highest quality component. It pops off once every two weeks or so for me (though, in fairness, my wife doesn't report this problem, so it might just be me). It's easy to put back on, but something I don't feel that I should have to worry about with a $1600 fridge.

Overall, we probably would buy the same fridge again. I'd probably pass on the water filtration option until they figure out a way to get access from the outside of the fridge. I'd probably also want to make sure to get the extended warranty.

Buy Amana Now

We have owned this fridge for less than 2 years and it recently broke down. We lost all the contents of the fridge ($100's) and the repair cost us over $200. The problem was the evaporator fan. I read the warrantee and it claimed to cover the evaporator. When I called Amana to get the repair covered they told me that they only cover the evaporator coil, not the fan. The manual and warrantee document did not make this distinction. Even so, this is not an inexpensive fridge and it should go more than 2 years without breaking down. Shame on Amana for not standing behind this product and shame on Amana for hiding behind shades of warrantee language.

I've had this unit for almost exactly two years and am disappointed in its performance. You have to open the French doors to get to the water dispenser. I think this feature wastes energy and creates the potential for problems. I found this review page because I was checking to see if there were recalls on this model. In two years, I have replaced the fan that delivers cool air from the freezer to the refrigerator twice. Stay away from this model.

How did I ever get along without a filtered water dispenser? And an ice maker?

This Amana refrigerator is simply the best. We have owned ours for about a year. In that time, its operation has been flawless. Its size and convenient features make for large capacity storage and easy use.

The pros:

An internal filtered water dispenser, which is hooked up to the house's water supply, provides for fresh cold water at any time (and the filter is easy to change).

An ice maker that works quickly. One day's ice production lasts me almost a week (I don't have kids). An added benefit: the ice maker is hooked up to the filtered water system.

The French doors, which provide lots of storage space. You get the convenience of a side-by-side, but without loosing all that space.

The chef's pantry drawer. A really nice feature. It has its own temperature control, and is normally colder than the rest of the fridge. Great for storing meats, cheeses, and eggs.

Easy-to-adjust temperature controls keep overall temperature consistent, both in the fridge and freezer.

The large capacity freezer, which pulls straight out. We have plenty of room to stock up, and it's convenient on the bottom. The top bin slides out for easy access. The bottom bin pulls out when you open the door.

Crisper drawers that really keep things crisp.

Four adjustable spill-saver shelves made of easy-to-clean tempered glass.

Five adjustable door bins that have lots of room. They have rubber bottoms that come out for easy cleaning.

The lonely, and only, little con:

The location of the on/off arm for the ice maker is a little inconvenient. It's on the left side in the back of the freezer. The premise is that when the ice bin is full, the arm will rise and snap to the off position. If I ever let the fridge make that much ice, it would last me a year. I find myself snapping it on/off manually, and it's a little awkward to reach.

Overall, this refrigerator is superior to any I have owned in the past. For me, it was like going from the smallest compact car to a large SUV (but it's still an energy saver!). Highly recommended.

We've had this refrigerator for just over 1-1/2 years. It has broken down once (right after the warranty expired) same issue as others had (the fan). Is is noisy. The freezer handle has broken off completely once, and has popped off again since being repaired. The interior drawer cover is worthless. The stainless steel is of poor quality and is easily dented (even dropping an ice cube on the top of the freezer drawer is enough to create a dent. One of the worst appliance decisions I've ever made.

Haier Kegerator HBF05EABB-2 Dual Faucet Keg Beer Cooler Tap

Haier Kegerator HBF05EABB-2 Dual Faucet Keg Beer Cooler Tap
  • Includes 2 American "D" System Sankey Lever Handle Couplers
  • Includes: Commercial Grade Gauge Co2 Regulator with Co2 Splitter & 5lb CO2 Tank (empty)
  • Holds: 1/2 barrels / Full Size Kegs (15.5gal), 1/4 barrels / Ponies (7.75gal)
  • Black Exterior (black door), Rounded corners door style
  • Heavy duty casters for mobility

First, I'd like to address the comment "hope you like warm beer". Not sure what they're talking about. I have my thermostat set about 1 inch colder than "normal" on the dial. The fridge has two 1/6 kegs of Victory beer, both are ice cold. Initially I had it set much colder but the temperature readings were showing I was close to freezing. Ideally beer should be between 33F 38F.

Foaming

I initially had foaming issues. There are two ways I know how to fix this:

1) Get longer lines $10

2) Get a flow control tap $50

Personally, I opted for the lines. Buy something high quality. I went with 10' of BevLex 200 3/16 for each line from a local homebrew store. You can also purchase it online. Start with 10' and trim until it pours the way you want it to. You want the beer to "fall" out of the tap. The top of the tower pulls off. Under that there is a piece of Styrofoam. From there you can remove the taps/line. Call the Beverage Factory if you need any help, they're happy to do so.

If you're worried about the beer sitting in the line, don't. 10' of 3/16 line holds about 1.5 ounces of beer, which is basically nothing -I measured it. The beer is well carbonated and tastes amazing.

PSI/Regulator Carbonation levels

Your best bet on PSI/Regulator settings is to contact the brewery that makes the beer. They can give you the target PSI they serve there's at. Then, you can use this chart [google for Solubility-of-carbon-dioxide-in-beer] to find out what you should be setting your regulator to. Most beers will fall between 2.40 2.57. It's important to know what the temperature of your beer. co2 has different pressures at different temperatures. **TIP** place a glass of water in the fridge over night and temp that. It will give you a more accurate temperature than a free standing thermometer. Example: your beer is 36F, you want a target PSI of 2.40. Your regulator would need to be set somewhere between 9 10.

Overall, I'm very happy with this kegerator. Happy pouring!

It's a good first kegerator for the money. I homebrew and I've used this kegerator for ales, IPAs, stouts, belgian dubbles, and lagers. I use the 5 gallon homebrew kegs, so I can't comment on the commercial couplers. If you like higher carbonated beer, you may want to get a flow control tap since this kegerator comes with standard taps. (I've had foaming issues with anything over 8psi. Then again, if you're having foaming issue, you can use longer line from what I hear) I did run into an issue with one of the taps sticking, but that's semi-normal for these cheaper taps. As far as temps go, it keeps the beer cold enough for me. I've even had a beer line freeze at one point.

Honestly, looking back, I wish I would have just bought a mini fridge. That's all this thing is in the end... a mini fridge with a two inch how drilled in the top so you can screw on the draft tower.

If I were going to do this again I'd say just buy a good mini fridge and drill, baby, drill.

I bought this kegerator for my boyfriend for Christmas and it's exceeded both our expectations. The kegerator is sleek and stylish and fits in great in our living room. We're now the place where all of our friends want to gono more hanging out at local bars paying for overpriced beer when we can experience this at home! We got the D system coupler for Fat Tire and an S coupler for New Castle and Stella. The only bummer is we can't have two import kegs in there at the same time but that's not a big deal. Overall, we're really happy with our new "toy" and I'm really happy with the service provided thus far with Beverage Factory! A+++!!!

Want Haier Kegerator HBF05EABB-2 Dual Faucet Keg Beer Cooler Tap Discount?

I would not recommend Haier kegerator, unless you like warm beer. I set it to it's coldest setting let it run for a day and the coldest it got was to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. As you know there's nothing better than warm beer. The really bad part of this is my wife ask me what I wanted for xmas, and I said I wanted a Danby kegerator it came highly recommended by a good friend. When she called "Beverage Factory" they said that Danby has a problem getting cold enough to get the beer to it's coldest optimal temperature. That they highly recommended Haier, but if you read between the lines what there really saying is that they get there most optimal profits selling haier. I also don't recommend the beverage factory. They never ask what kind of beer that you like to drink and that different beers have different types of couplers. So they just send off the standard American coupler. This doesn't work for Imported beers. Just bad all the way around, not to mention I probably lost a keg of Bass. The beer Gods are going to be very, very upset. "Don't buy from Beverage Factory" Try not to buy China Cr@p buy something thats made in the U.S. you can't go wrong. Good luck everybody and the next rounds on me!

Swift Green Filters SGF-F1 Refrigerator Water Filter

Swift Green Filters SGF-F1 Refrigerator Water FilterIt's a little difficult to review this product. I was hesistant to purchase this because I've been so use to getting the actual Frigidaire Pure Source filters. However, the original filters are so expensive for no reason. Plus, when I compare the specs on Pure Source vs Swift Green, the Swift Green reduces more particulates. And not to mention it's much cheaper. So I took a risk and purchased a 3 pack. But, I'm so use to drinking bottled water that anything outside of that tastes weird. But I must say the water comes out clear and tastes ok. My ice cubes are no longer frosty and doesn't have a bad smell.

There are a number of external factors in the success of a filter cartridge-you can't just compare them on the numbers or assume that this filter work the same in my fridge as it does in yours. You have the the quality of water going into it, the volume of water going through it, the length of time the water sits in plastic and or copper tubing before and after filtering, how long the filter has been in use (as a proportion of it's total useful life). That last is a big one, because it depends entirely on operating environment. A manufacturer's recommendation to replace after a specific amount of time (e.g. 6 months) simply MUST be arbitrary and bear no relationship to performance in your specific circumstances. So, reading the comments here I was of two minds but then decided that (a) my own circumstances are pretty much optimal, and (b) the price difference was such that I wasn't risking much. The filter bore all this out and I will come back and give it the fifth star if it lasts as long as it should.

We replaced our old refrigerator filter with this product and immediately 'tasted' the difference. The were very disappointed that the water tasted so bad. We gave it a chance thinking it might improve but it did not. We wound up replacing it with our former, trusty, brand and the water tastes delicious again.

GE GDSS0KCXSS 20.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star

GE GDSS0KCXSS 20.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA

I bought a stainless steel GE bottom freezer refrigerator five years ago when I renovated my kitchen. It looked so nice and shiny and it worked fine until last year. Then the top section up and died.

I got on the GE website and scheduled a service appointment. The repairman finally came at 5:30 p.m. after I was home waiting for him all day long, but he did come on the day he said he would.

He inspected the fridge, told me the thermostat regulator for the top section had gone kaput, and installed a new one. I asked him how long that part was guaranteed for and he said five years.

I almost hit the roof. My previous fridge had been a top-freezer GE which lasted 17 years and was still in good working order when I tossed it. For $1300, I told the repairman, I expect everything in that fridge to last 100 years minimum and not a day less.

Anyway, the fridge worked fine again until last week, when I noticed it wasn't cold enough. Back to the GE website to make another service appointment. This time they sent the same guy but at least he came early.

He opened the fridge, and voila! The fan had up and died.

He replaced the fan, put everything back together nicely, and handed me a bill for $246.15. Labor: $194.99. Tax: $17.49. Fan: $2.98. I shelled out over two hundred bucks to replace a piece of plastic that cost $2.98.

GE, you've been warned. If anything else in that fridge conks out before 2025, I'm tossing the whole thing out and buying a Kitchen-Aid.

Judy Lind

UPDATE 8/15/11:

Holy-freaking-moly, would you believe this thing has conked out AGAIN?! For the THIRD TIME in SEVEN YEARS?!

Forget the repairman. Forget GE altogether. I'll be hanged if I'm shelling out another $250 to fix this dog. I will never, ever buy another GE product in this life or the next one. Kitchen-Aid, here I come.
