Electrolux : EW28BS71IS 27.8 cu. ft. French-Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

Electrolux : EW28BS71IS 27.8 cu. ft. French-Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
  • Up To 9 Lbs. Of Bullet Shaped Ice In 24 Hours
  • Offers Flexibility In Temperature From 28 To 42F
  • PureAdvantage Filtration Systems
  • Dimensions (WHD) 69 1/2" X 35 5/8" X 33" In.

This refrigerator is the best one i ever owned except the ice maker and the refrigerator french doors. I now have the 4th one in my kitchen and it has the same problems the ice maker and the french doors. The ice maker leaks and freezes a flat piece of ice that clogs the dispenser. We have been told the door do not fit good and causes the problem. The doors do not fit good one at the top protrudes out about a quarter inch ( just had the service people out today and installed a new door it protrudes the same as the one they replaced). This makes the 6th service call on this refrigerator since Jan 2011. We learned today that Electrolux does not make this model anymore and has a new model on the way soon i hope.

Samsung DMT400RHS - 24"Dishwasher

Samsung DMT400RHS - 24'Dishwasher
  • Quiet Operatoin
  • Leakage Protection
  • Twister Nozzle to Assure your Dishes are Always Clean

Basically,

Bought this dishwasher brand new from Lowe's. Had Lowe's install it.

We have used it for 2 months now...it has had problems working 3 times so far. Has completely stopped mid-cycle to tell us something is wrong. Nothing seems out of ordinary. Did the basic checks for debris etc. I am not impressed with its cleaning either. It cleans ok.

Update : has not given us any trouble signals since. Adding a splash of chlorine to the washes helps with better cycles and residue. Happier. Changing from 2 to 4 stars...not getting my hopes up.

KRUPS and HEINEKEN B100 BeerTender with Heineken Draught Keg technology,Black

KRUPS and HEINEKEN B100 BeerTender with Heineken Draught Keg technology,Black
  • Maintains beer at the ideal temperature of 37.4 degrees F
  • Engineered to work exclusively with Heineken, Heineken Premium Light and Newcastle Brown Ale
  • Ultra quiet and efficient Peltier cooling system provides constant and consistent cooling of the keg
  • DraughtKeg and Beertender keep beer fresh for 30 days after tapping
  • Unit measures 21-Inch L by 12-Inch W by 18-Inch H; Comes with 5 draught tubes

I purchased this unit on sale at Best Buy for $79.99. I was very skeptical about the quality for the price, but with the big game next weekend I could not resist.

I stopped by BevMo on my way home. This unit ONLY uses Beertender compatible kegs. So far, only Heinekin, Heinekin Light, and New Castle are available for this machine. If you don't like any of those beers, skip it.

Luckily, BevMo had the Heinekin and New Castle minikegs in stock, but it was not cold.

I brought it all home and started to set it up. It was VERY SIMPLE. The directions are all illustrated with written directions a couple pages later.

Things I did not know before set up:

1) It takes special "BeerTender Tubes". I did not know about these until I started setting it up. I looks like you can only use them one time. There were 6 included with purchase. It looks like replacements are available on Amazon for $9 for 6 tubes.

2) You must insert a COLD KEG into the machine. If it is not already the correct temp, you need to chill in the fridge for 10 hours or in the BeerTender for 18 hours before you can use it. There are two small green lights on the top: one to tell you it is on and the other to tell you the beer is cold enough to pour. Luckily, there is a store close by that sells the Heinekin minikegs already chilled, so I ran out and got one so I could try the machine out right away.

So far so good. Everything worked great, the lights came on and it poured beautifully.

I think that this is an excellent addition to my kitchen. It fits perfect on the kitchen counter. Does not take up too much room and it will be a great addition to summer BBQ's.

Although it is a tad annoying, this product is worth buying your honey for father's day or his birthday because I will tell you that the guys just down right love having cold beer on tap, and you can fit this little unit in just about any room. Now that I have figured out where to get the kegs (and to look for when they go on sale), and that you have to make sure to buy tap lines in advance, it is less of a bother than it seemed at first. You need to know that you have to buy special plastic disposable tap lines for every keg (not as green as I would like, although my brother figured out how to reuse them more than once) that are pricey, there is only three beers you can buy to put in it (Heineken and Heineken Light, and New Castle Brown), and if you buy or store the kegs warm it takes a long time to cool down. Once it is cold you are set though, and there is an indicator to show how cold and how full the keg is. I had one horrible experience trying to change the keg, alone where no one could hear me, when for some reason the tap failed and a geyser of beer shot straight up into my face, all over the wall and floor at high velocity. I managed to push the tap partially back into the keg, just enough to divert the geyser so that it soaked my clothes as I dragged the whole unit out into the yard. That was not so great, although the dog found it hysterically funny.

This is a quality piece of equipment that exceeds expectations for a $99 unit. It appears identical to the T-Fal unit but bears the Krupps label. The system uses Peltier cooling which is not as robust as refrigerant but draws far less power. As a result it takes 18 hours to cool a 5 litre container of beer from room temperature. Pre-cooling in your refrigerator obviates this issue. This is not an inexpensive way to drink beer, but it is fun and delivers the appropriate amount of carbonation. Hopefully more beer producers will offer the 5 litre kegs in future.

Great product! Takes a while to get cold but so worth it in the end. Also just to clarify, there is no LCD on this model. Just a light indicator that it is 1) on and 2) at the right temperature.

I was given this item as a Christmas gift and really enjoyed it for awhile, about 15 months to be exact. I switched out the keg and it stopped cooling. I pulled the keg out and turned it off for a few hours. I turned the unit on and not only did it not cool, but it cycled a few times then shut down completely. I called Krups and was told I was out of warranty. I didn't think too much of it until my brother, who was given the same gift, had the same problem a few weeks later. Then, my father's did the same thing shortly after that. All of us called Krups with no assistance. 3 units failing the same way is no longer coincidenceit's a defect. If you really want a Beertender, I would highly recommend staying away from Krups.

Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Closer Kit 4318165

Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Closer Kit 4318165After 6 months of service the new parts completely wore out. The original parts lasted for several years. I can only assume that an inferior material was used.

I got this fridge door cam kit to repair a nasty click that had developed on my fridge door upon opening and closing it.

I simply replaced all the original plastic parts with these ones, tightened all the bolts well, and greased all the plastic parts that make contact with each other.

The fridge door is as good as new!

Our Refrigerator Door keep popping open after closing it. We also noticed the door had dropped about 1/4 of a inch. We looked at answers online and this is what they suggested. Our old Door Closers were totally wearn out they didn't have any bumps on them. We thought we were going to need a new fridge but this saved us a lot of money. It is working like new now.

Viking Professional VCFF136DSS 36 19.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator - Stainless S

Viking Professional VCFF136DSS 36 19.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator - Stainless SteelI bought this appliance for its great looks and perceived reputation. I came home from vacation to discover that the fridge froze bottles on the right side, one of which exploded! Then the water line is just drip-dripping. Not a great start! The shelves are flimsy and poorly designed and you have to open BOTH side doors to open the produce drawer. A major design flaw.

Its very quiet, and sleek, and so far everything is at least WORKING....with the exception of the freezing issue and the water line.

WOuld I buy this product again? NOPE! NEVER!

LG LFX31935ST

LG LFX31935STI've owned the LG LFX31935 for a little more than six months, and overall it has been great. It has a cavernous interior with very flexible storage options. It does a great job of keeping food cold/frozen, and it's very quiet. The material and workmanship is top notch, and it looks great. There are two things worth commenting on in more detail: the wine chiller and the ice maker.

WINE CHILLER

This unique feature is a big plus, and honestly a big selling point for my wife and I. We don't have a wine fridge, and it's nice to be able to chill a bottle of red before drinking it. This "blast chiller", as it's called, works well it chills a bottle of wine from room temperature to ~62F in 8 minutes. You just pop open the blast chiller door, slide the bottle in cork first and rest it in cradle, close the chiller and the fridge and then press the button on the front panel. Most of the time, the thing just starts to work the cradle gently swirls the bottle while the cold air is circulated through the chiller's chamber (it's a bit noisy while running, somewhere between a dishwasher and a stand mixer). Sometimes, however, the chiller refuses to start and affirms its obstinance with a red light next to the start button. According to the manual, this can happen when the fridge is not down to temp, which kind of makes sense. But the behavior seems more random than that it has done this a half dozen times at least, sometimes when I'm pretty sure nobody has been in the fridge for hours. In fact, it seems to happen whenever have guests over and are trying to show off our #$%*&@ wine chiller! Otherwise, though it's a very slick feature and one we use all the time (though it would NOT be a good idea to use on a bottle that should otherwise be decanted due to sediment).

ICE MAKER

The ice maker on this unit is completely contained in the left-hand door. This leaves the main compartment wide open and unobstructed by the ice maker, which is great. The ice maker itself if rather small, as is the bin it's capacity is probably less than half that of my old side-by-side Kenmore 25 cu ft with the ice maker in the freezer. But the real problem is the dispenser. When you push a glass against the dispenser plate, an electric motor lowers a trap door in the dispenser chute and then the dispenser mechanism starts pushing ice down the chute. It works great until one of two inevitable things happen: ice cubes jam up in the chute (the jam can be freed by poking a finger up the ice chute effective, but somehow feels wrong), or ice delivery stops because the ice in the bin is frozen together (which requires opening the left door of the fridge, opening the ice maker door, and breaking up the frozen ice mass in the bin or discarding it altogether). This is not an occasional problem, it happens almost always the first time it is used in the day.

I've had the factory-authorized service company out several times. The last time, they replaced the entire ice maker assembly (and the control panel as well, for some reason). No joy. This problem is not going away until some aspect of the current system is redesigned: either the ice chute is not wide enough, the chute door doesn't open far enough, the ice cubes are the wrong shape, the ice doesn't stay cold enough, or maybe even a combination of several things.

In all, I'd say the positives significantly outweigh the negatives, but on a fridge that costs three times what my previous one did, I guess I expected more. I'm still hoping that LG will take an interest in the ice maker problem and provide a field upgrade, but I'm not holding my breath.
