Rally 7285 12V Portable Refrigerator and Warmer

Rally 7285 12V Portable Refrigerator and WarmerWe were going on vacation and were going to be driving for two days. Of course one of the kids was put on antibiotics that had to be refrigerated several days before we were scheduled to leave! I bought this refrigerator and it worked PERFECTLY! Just what we needed to keep his meds cold and safe! We were also able to fit some yogurts and cheese sticks in there too!

The Rally 7285 12V cooler/warmer, bought @ amazon.com, is small enough to fit into my Prius, but does a super job keeping my insulin, my soft-drinks and lunch food cool and safe over a 2500 mile trip. Now I use it to keep grocery items cool in our Texas Summer heat and to bring my insulin home safely. Just great.....

This unit does not cool at all. At the heat setting it appears to work, but at the cold setting it also heats, but not as much as at the heat setting.

The cooling on the unit doesn't even work! When I opened the unit the cable for the cooling plate was disconnected talk about cheap Chinese wiring!

I had the refrigerator for about two weeks before I used it. I used it in the car first with 6 small bottles of water but it didn't get cold it was just barely cool. Then I tried to see if the refrig would work in the house, unfortunately not. That was a disappointment.

I went to Virginia on 8/11-18 and I tried it again in the car and when I put it on cool everthing in the refig was hot when I got to Va. I am very disappointed and wish I could return it for a full refund. I would give another type of car refrig a try. I think there maybe a short either in the electric cord or the refrig itself.

Select WFI-NLCS200 Whirlpool Compatible Refrigerator Water Filter

Select WFI-NLCS200 Whirlpool Compatible Refrigerator Water Filter
  • The Select Replacement Filter fits all refrigerators that use Whirlpool / KitchenAid 8171413 & 8171414 water filters, or Kenmore 46-9002 water filters.
  • Retains the flouride in drinking water. Filters out chlorine, turbidity, sediment, dirt, and rust

This happens to be the model that my refrigerator uses, so it was a no-brainer that I have to buy this filter... the good news is that my refrigerator has been completely reliable and trouble-free, as has been the filter in terms of taking the old one out, putting the new one in, and tasting the goodness of the water coming out.

Swift Green Filters SGF-G1 Refrigerator Water Filter

Swift Green Filters SGF-G1 Refrigerator Water FilterI gave this puppy a shot to replace the OEM GE filter. This turned out to be an OMG filter, as it failed to filter the heavy chlorine dose in the water which the local municipality dumped in after the wind storm 6/29/2012. I overnighted a GE OEM and water is clean as a whistle. The Swift filter might be fine now (i.e. maybe it was just a heavy chlorine dump by WSSC), but I am over it for $5 difference every 6 months. Others seem pleased so it may be just me. I was always suspicious when reading about the faster water flow when compared to GE OEM. It does come out faster with Swift (no pun intended).

I bought this to use in lieu of the MWF GE SmartWater filters that seem to have gone up 35% in price since I bought my refrigerator 6 years ago. Usually I can find a good deal or an annual GE rebate offer to get SmartWater filters, but not in the past few months when I knew my filter would need replacement. This fits perfectly. You have to push it up with a little more force, and then turn it. I didn't soak it underwater for 15 minutes as directed I just spent about 1 minute filling it up with water and set it on the counter, came back about 5 minutes later and topped it off, then came back a couple minutes later and installed it. No problems and no air at all.

Two things on the packaging are questionnable.

1) There is no mention of the filter meeting Standard 53, however the filtration of the items covered under that standard are given (with percentage of filtration) on the side of the box. I feel confident in the product since it does actually list the filtration levels for those items, but it does create doubt. (minus 1/2 star)

2) The box specifically says "Not for sale in California" yet Amazon obviously had no problem selling it to me and at least one other reviewer here is in California. I can't figure out what the issue is there...perhaps there is some California certification that is doesn't meet? I don't know...and don't really care, but it is an interesting fact.

All in all, I find it a good product and will write a follow-up review should I notice any problems. Minus 1-star for lack of documentation overall and lack of Standard 53 actually being noted anywhere on the packaging or documentation with the product.

Now if only the 2-pack or 3-pack would ever come in stock so I could get a more significant discount!

It has been about a month since we received and installed our filter. Installation was not difficult. The supplied O-ring is a little thin, manufacturer could improve on this area, other than that the filter is of good quality. Water flow did increase when we installed and had a small amount of water leak until O-ring sealed, maybe 2-3 tablespoons of water.

The water hole needs slight enlargement to fit my GE Profile. I put a scissor inside the hole and turned several round to peel off a tiny layer of plastics. And it worked. It's a less expensive alternative to the GE parts.

I ordered the Swift Green filter for my GE side by side. I installed it. Very easy. Did not leak. The water tastes great. It traps what the GE does and costs less. My order was lost in shipment but I called the supplier and it was taken care of and it and were friendly about it. I would recommend this filter for those who think the GE MWF filter is overpriced.

Swift Green Repl. for Samsung DA29-00003G

Swift Green Repl. for Samsung DA29-00003GThis was a little difficult to install, but I eventually was able to get it installed. The water quality is acceptable, one thing I notice is that the water pressure at the water dispenser in the door is very high, almost as if the filter is not really providing any type of filtering. I could be wrong on this, but sure seems that way.

My second order for these filters.I am very pleased with them.Filters can be very expensive and these are quite adequate and save us money.

Whirlpool 2260502W Water Filter Cap for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 2260502W Water Filter Cap for RefrigeratorWhen the cap to your filter in the refrigerator breaks, it is much cheaper to replace the cap than buy a new filter. No more problems.

Changing our filter has been a frustration ever since our old cap broke only a few months after buying the refrigerator. I finally took the plunge and bought this as a replacement, and it works fine (though I'm very gentle with it hoping not to break it like the first one) but why is a piece of plastic so expensive?

GE GBSC0HBXWW 20.3 Cu. Ft. White Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star

GE GBSC0HBXWW 20.3 Cu. Ft. White Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Energy StarDo not buy this fridge.

The drawers chipped in the first few months so it is impossible to slide them in and out.

The thermostat keeps going on the fritz and freezing my food in the fridge compartment. Luckily I go the 5 yr service contract because the thermostat has been replaced 3 times in 3 years.

A horrible fridge.

AquaFresh WF288 Refrigerator Water Filter

AquaFresh WF288 Refrigerator Water FilterI can't imagine why anyone would pay full retail for manufacturer specific water filters when this "generic" (Aqua Fresh) one does exactly the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

It works, it lasts, it's a good product. This is the 3rd one I've used over the past 2 years as they need to be changed about every 6 months. (The case with all refrigerator water filters.) If I had bought the Maytag version it would have been almost double the cost.

We own a Maytag Plus side-by side refrigerator/freezer and it is becoming hard to find the proper replacement filters at the local dealer (we've been sent home with several wrong filters). I don't remember the original Maytag part number, but this fits our model perfectly and works well. The price is good too.

I bought this filter to replace a much more expensive OEM filter. It arrived just a few days after ordering, and it installed exactly as the OEM part. It is just a little taller than the OEM part, but in my case that is not an issue. It works great. The water it filters tastes the same to me as the OEM filter produced. If there is an issue with longevity I'll post an update.

Okay, at first I wanted to give this filter a 1 star rating because I thought it was horrible. It was leaking water everywhere, not working correctly, there were white particles in my water, and I thought it was a cheap piece of s***. This is most likely the reason many others here may have given this filter a low rating as well.

But after throwing many items in my kitchen in anger, and slamming my fist against the wall, I decided to read the instructions to see if there was something I missed.

*Note to buyers, always read the instructions first before you decide to install a product.*

So after reading through the instructions, I realized there were a few things I missed that I did not do.

1. You are suppose to immerse the filter in a pot of water for 15 minutes before installing (I'm not sure on the exact reason why but I believe it is to get air bubbles out).

2. After installing the filter, you need to go through like 20 cups of water in order for it to work correctly and for it to be crystal clear and drinkable.

So after much frustration and error on my end, I followed the instructions and my filter is now working beautifully. The water tasted great and is crystal clear like a Caribbean spring. This is a great water filter, at a great price, and it works great, just follow the instructions!!

I give it 5*'s baby!

SquareTrade 3-Year Appliance Protection Plan ($75-100)

SquareTrade 3-Year Appliance Protection PlanWe seldom pay for extended warranty services since the premiums seldom justify the costs. This time we decided to go with SureTrade because their fees were relatively low and we knew that this waffle maker would get heavy use. As it turned out, approximately two months before the end of the warranty protection our waffle maker fell apart. We simply went on the SureTrade web site, verified our warranty period, described the problem. I'm pleased to report that within three days we received post paid delivery label, with return instructions. We then shipped the wounded appliance off and received full reimbursement within a week of filling the claim.

In brief, we would highly recommend SureTrade. In fact we were so happy with their service that we've insured our new iPads.

I tell every one about Square Trade. They replaced my tablet with one that was even better then the one I had. It was so simple.

The only problem I ever had was I didn't know I had to call to activate coverage, but they worked it out for me. Am now working on two more I forgot to call in for my Tract Phones. The price can't be beat. The service is wonderful I will never get anything else without it.

I have a daughter that travels all over the world with her camera so when her last camera died, she was out of the country and wanted it replaced by the time she left on her next trip. She chose the camera, I paid for it, and was ready to complete the transaction when I read about the SquareTrade Warranty. As often as my daughter's camera travels, and as many places as they have seen, there was a good chance that this next one I was purchasing would also travel multiple times out of the country and it would be a real blessing if she had some type of a warranty on it. So I paid the extra money and stashed the receipt away in a file and forgot about it. A year and a half later, the daughter and camera are in Taiwan having just come back from Thailand when the camera dies a sad death. I called Squaretrade and walked through their steps until we got to the point where the camera needed to be returned. I explained that it is still in Taiwan and will be for another month but Squaretrade reimbursed the purchase price anyway! As soon as the camera comes home we will ship it in, but in the meantime the daughter can choose a new camera and it will be ready to leave again when she is! Thanks Squaretrade! It was SO worth it to purchase this warranty and I guarantee I will purchase another one for the next camera!

This is the second time we have had a problem with the refrigerator. There were some scheduling mixups and delays, but SquareTrade was very apologetic and helpful. When the technician finally arrived we discovered the appointment had been setup without billing and I was expected to pay. When I called SquareTrade about the situation, they immediately agreed to pay the technician over the phone. I was impressed.

I was introduced to Squaretrade when I purchased a cell phone on E-Bay. I figured if E-Bay referred them then they had to be good.

After seeing the price was considerably lower than my cell phone company, I started checking them out for other items like electronics, appliances, computers, office equipment etc. Anything that could have an extended warranty.

To my surprise, Squaretrade always beat everyone's price. The real test was when I had to use them for a warranty item. They sent me a postage paid shipping label, and they repaired my item. I have also received a full refund on a any item that was not repairable.

There online site is easy to manage. I can always view all my warranties and manage any claim online. Their customer service associates are always stellar.

I no longer pay for the extra warranties offer when I purchase an item. I just send my receipt to Squaretrade and they take care of the rest. I am going on 6 years with them and I plan on using them forever. Thank you Squaretrade!

Frigidaire FFHT10F2LW

Frigidaire FFHT10F2LWI needed a small fridge for a "granny" apartment, and I always try to buy Energy Star. In a rare fit of supporting the local independent mom-and-pop store, I bought one of these in July. It took them over a month to get one from Frigidaire.

When first plugged in, it would run for maybe 15 minutes and then stop for at least that long. Took it over a day to get the fridge section down to 50F. With normal food inside, it won't go below 39F even on the very coldest setting. The off-to-on hysteresis is 10F, so at the coldest setting it cycles between 40F and 50F. The freezer will go to -18F if you turn its knob cold, but the refrigerator averages around 45F. If you take out all the liquids and heavy stuff, the fridge will freeze your lettuce to death before shutting off, while still waiting for about 50F to come back on.

It also makes a wide repertory of amazing noises, loud enough to be heard all over the house. Sometimes it is a "boink-boink-boink" sound from the compressor or the gas bubbling. Way louder than the normal soft boiling sound refrigeration sometimes makes. Other times it is a loud buzz from the air circulation fan you can tell because it stops when you open the fridge door. And sometimes it is normally quiet, but totally unpredictable.

The local repair guy keeps replacing fans and sensors, and the behavior changes a bit each time, but there doesn't seem to be a real fix. I'd love to hear from anyone else who has one of these, working well or not! Frigidaire, if you're listening, I'm not very hopeful about hauling this back to the store on my dime and waiting another month to see if a replacement would be any better. I'm thinking serious design flaw...

---

Almost to the end of the warranty, and no solution yet. Every relevant part has been replaced. Still have to choose, dairy or salad. I can't imagine how anyone signed off on this design! Plus it makes noises uncannily like someone unclicking your door lock in the middle of the night...

Danby DCR88WDD Energy Star 3.2 Cu. Ft. Designer Counter-High Compact Refrigerator - White

  • Manual push button defrost
  • 1 full shelf and 1 half shelf for maximum storage versatility tall bottle storage and CanStor beverage dispensing system
  • Smooth-back design for flush fit against walls

Bought this as a replacement for a Frigidaire that's thermostat wouldn't work (and Frigidaire wouldn't do anything about it even tho it was a very common problem). Really like this Danby much better. Able to put quart of milk IN refrig instead of just in the door like old one. Very happy with this product!

A perfect addition to our tack room. Plenty of internal storage and handy can dispensers. The dispenser allows you to select any can, I have a different brand mini fridge in my workshop which requires you select the bottom can in a stack of eight, this dispenser allows you to select your drink, any drink. A full width freezer compartment is not typical, and was a welcome find on this fridge.

Transport of mini fridges is always going to be difficult, because they do not have substantial packaging. I ordered this one using prime next day to minimize the time in transit. It had minor dings which is fine for a tack room. You may consider buying one locally if you want this to arrive blemish free. The packing of this and all other mini fridges is not designed for carrier transpiration. You will have some damage, even if that damage is a small ding on the back.

It keeps the contents nice and cold, even when set on the middle area of the thermostat.

The energy star rating is a plus.

I would buy again.

Very good fridge. It has plenty of space for the typical dorm room and the drink rack in the door is nice. Freezer section makes ice fine but won't keep ice cream frozen. I have it located under my bed in college and noise is not a problem, it has never woken me up despite being 3 feet from my head.

The door did come with a slight dent in the door but this has not affected functionality at all, I'm not sure whether Amazon or the shipping company was responsible for this but it isn't a big deal.

The refrigerator arrived in quite cheap packaging. When I opened it, I found many large dents on all sides of it. It seemed to be alright for the price, except I didn't like the door arrangement. Too many places for cans and not enough for anything else. I can't say anything about how it worked, as I never turned it on. Amazon was great about returning it. They picked it up and credited my credit card right away. Great company, but they should check the shipping boxes to make sure they are strong enough.

We receive the first one with a big notch in the door but Amazon change it only 3 day after this one came and work like all other product made by Danby. ( we have tho other fridge and freezer from Danby) Very good product .

Whirlpool 2188655 Snack Pan for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 2188655 Snack Pan for RefrigeratorI was a bit worried about how to replace the broken drawer for our fridge. My only complaint is that the part is fairly expensive for a fairly simple piece of plastic. Be sure to save the "trim" from your exisitng drawer if it is still usable, as that would add another expense to the order.

Fit my frig fine, seemed slightly different tint but not noticeable once in the frig. Doesn't come with the white strip on the edge but just popped it off my old one and it went on easily.

GE PHS925STSS Profile 30" Stainless Steel Electric Slide-In Induction Range - Convection

GE PHS925STSS Profile 30' Stainless Steel Electric Slide-In Induction Range - ConvectionAfter much research, and driving far and wide to locate one up close and personal to look at, hands down this was the range for us.

It is beautifully made, very sleek and modern, and works like a dream. All fans on it (convection and component cooling) are whisper quiet. The control board is located on the front (unlike the free-standing model) and is very intuitive to use. It is definitely what I call "granny friendly," i.e. even those from the non-digital age will be able to use it easily.

The oven is very spacious and at high altitude only took 13 minutes to heat from cold to 425 degrees. I especially love the sliding rack and will be replacing the other two standard racks with those. Even at 425 degrees, the front of the oven door remained cool to the touch, suggesting that this stove is very well insulated. The first batch of cookies in it came out beautifully and the timing was +/1 minute from my usual recipe so I call that spot on.

The first time I used the stovetop, I put pan down, turned the heat to 5 and dropped in a pat of butter which began to melt *instantly* and I do mean instantly. Water boils in no time, and clean-up is a breeze.

The pans I am using are: Cuisinart FCT-10 French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set and they work fantastically with this stove.

I could not be more thrilled, and will update this review as time goes on.

I purchased my GE PHS9252STSS 30" slide in Induction Range from Pacific Sales after reading Consumer Reports, Gardenweb forums and other reviews.

I installed it and wired a 4 ft x 4 prong wire so that it could easily fit behind the range (match the colors, black to black, white to white, green to green and pink to red). Also installed the anti-tip bracket to the floor tile.

I went out and purchased a new 13 piece 18/10 Stainless Steel cookware set from Costco for around $180. The induction burners are great, they heat up very quickly. You can boil water in like 90seconds. Very precise and quick heat control, when you turn it down, within seconds, you can see heat change. Since the new cookware is magnetic, once you lift the pan, the burner will turn off after 20 seconds or so (initially it will blink). This way you can never leave them on accidentally as long as no pan remains on top.

Clean up is a snap with Cerama Bryte glass cooktop cleaner once a week, otherwise mild soap and water is enough.

The oven does take time to heat up, if you set it for 325C, temperature starts at 100C, changes 1 degree every 10 seconds or so, so expect to wait 8-10minutes. Then it can maintain the temperature easily. It has an electronic beeping sound when your timer is complete or your bake temperature is reached. I wish it was a little louder. Otherwise the oven works great.

You have to run the self clean cycle the first time for over 3 hours as there is a strange odor from the oven when you use it each time.

I have had the range for a week and both the wife and I love it. The switch from electric to induction was the right move. I did purchase a 5 year extended warranty as the technology is new and did not want to take any chances.

Highly recommended, paid around $2200 for my range.

I purchased this range with the advantum 120 microwave oven. So far both items are wonderful. I enjoy using my stove top for the heat accuracy and speed. It heats rapidly with steel or iron pots and pans. You can use aluminum if you use a heat transfer disc. The oven is typical for this product and works well.

After looking at numerous reviews; including those at Amazon. I concur fully with the reviewer-" Meet Jane JetsonLove this Range" This George Jetson Loves it Too!

Made in USA; flexiblity of gas; energy efficent; oven retains heat.

My recommendation to all-take time to read the manual.

I agree the oven takes longer to eat up; but with convection on we got great homemade chocolate chip cookies and bread.Good looking range.

Yes we had to buy new cookware. All Clad D5 (non-stick and regular and made in USA); Swiss Diamond. But well worth it.

After 3 months still very happy.

Lock out control helps to clean control area; Al clad pots allow smaller diameter pot on 11 inch element; yes oven slow to heat up; but once it heats up it retains the heat in the range.

Used the probe-the way to roast! Followed directions and the chicken came out moist and done. No more worries about how long to cook; use the probe and the internal temperature you selected. Would like the probe cord longer but not critical.

It even survived an overflow in the oven. What a mess; had to use diluted de-greaser then activate the self-cleaning.

I'm sure based on all reviews and research we will love this range, purchased from a local applicance provider.I uncrated the appliance, installed a new pigtail and, as a cheap and probably unnecessary extra bit of caution, a new 40 amp breaker to replace the existing 38 year old model. Drum-roll, please ... and flip the breaker: the screen returns an "FA17" code. After a week a very competent GE service tech was able to be scheduled and quickly diagnosed the need for a new "generator control board." It will be a week until this arrives and a couple more days until the GE tech will be able to install. Presumably we will be ready to roll then with the new SS-ware purchased for the occasion. I am disappointed by the delay (it was also a month on order before delivery). I was also surprised that no one in the blogosphere had encountered "FA17." One of the "how much would you pay for help" websites indicated that FA17 meant "time to buy a new range." Not helpful, though GE has stepped up nicely. We will update this review in a couple of weeks, but offer a translation for FA17 if anyone else encounters this message.

Danby DWC620PL-SC 6 Bottle Wine Cooler - Platinum

Danby DWC620PL-SC 6 Bottle Wine Cooler - Platinum
  • Maitre'D 6-bottle capacity countertop wine cooler with clear glass door and interior light
  • Features energy efficient semi-conductor cooling technology - Does not use refrigerants
  • Silent operation and no vibration to disturb the wine
  • Digital LED thermostat can be set from 39.2F -71.6F (4C-22C)
  • 3 sculpted chrome wire shelves cradles the wine

I bought this unit for my friend for her birthday and then my husband surprised me with one for Christmas.

LOVE IT! We keep it stocked with Pinot Noir at a perfect 55 degrees. We have not experienced any malfunction of the unit and our friends is working perfectly as well.

The blue interior light (with on/off switch) is very sexy and gives it a sleek look. Contrary to the look in the picture, the casing is actually a silver tone-not white. The size is perfect, and it fits very nicely on our counter above our liquor cabinet.

Super quiet too, you can barely hear it running when it cycles on.

Best Christmas present ever!

UPDATE here we are 01/01/2013 and it's still going strong. LOVE IT! (and yes, our friend's cooler is running perfectly too).

Ok, I should not have posted that update. 2 weeks later the thing crapped out. I had simply turned the interior light on (which I almost never do) and the next day I noticed the temperature was reading 65 degrees nearly 10 degrees warmer than it should have been. The next day it was up to 70.

Needless to say we just unplugged it and have not tried starting it up again, but I am looking for replacements now...

BOO!

I have owned this wine cooler for about 4 months and after only

1 month I had to return it for a replacement because it would no

longer cool it just stayed at room temp. After another month of

having my replacement it also won't cool any more. It is very

quite when running but after about 1 month they don't cool at all.

It's hard to keep you wine lasting long when your cooler is at 75 degrees

fahrenheit.

Although this wine cooler is attractive-looking and compact, it is very unreliable. I've had mine for only a few months before it started acting up. Every time I pressed the temperature gauge downward to make it cooler, the worthless piece of metal only got warmer instead! That's insane.

Avoid this product.

My Matre'D wine cooler went bad just after four (FOUR!!!!) months. The worst part is that the manufacturer (Canadian based) refused to fix it, replace it or even discuss the issue. If you are looking to buy a wine cooler, Matre'D brand is not it. Its a Trabant (or UGO) of wine coolers.

In the small cooler department, this is the best. But, it is not without issues. I bought this model because it was the only one that claimed the ability to get down to the very low temperture that I like for my white wines. What they did not tell me is that it can only get to that temperture if you also run a "cold house". If you keep your house down below 65F you get to the low temperture advertised. It is also sort of loud in a small space. However, having said all this, I would most likely still buy the productd again.

GE WR72X239 Left Crisper Drawer Glide for Refrigerator

GE WR72X239 Left Crisper Drawer Glide for RefrigeratorI had to drill a hole into the panel of the refrigerator. It didn't bother me that much since I have the tools and the skills to do this. What if I didn't?

Just another part required to keep an 8 year old GE refrigerator working properly. The previous door glide wore out and cracked (as so many other parts have done on this GE refrigerator model GSS22KGMDWW). I've spent more on repairs than the cost of refrigerator at this point so I thought, just one more replacement part until I can replace this piece of junk. The drawer glide itself is fine and should hold up under normal use for awhile; I'm just not sure if the refregerator will last much longer.

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.
