Electrolux EAFCBF Replacement Air Filter

This is not the original type of filter that came with my refrigerator. Get a piece of charcoal paper and put it in the original box it will work better. I don't know what Electrolux did but this is a rip-off.

I've always previously purchased my filters directly from Electrolux for my refrigerator. After reading some of the reviews on Amazon I was afraid that maybe this particular item was a cheap knock off of the original. When I received the filter and installed it, I found that it was exactly the same as the one in my unit. For half the price of the factory web site, I'll be purchasing this filter in the future.

We have the Electrolux French Door model and the filter as shipped doesn't go into the slot. We have to cut off part of the filter enclosure in order to get it in there. It would probably be just as effective if we threw away the cardboard enclosure and just put the folded up black filter element in the cubbyhole. But the directions imply that shouldn't be necessary.

GE Refrigerator Door Gasket Seal WR24X274

Refrigerator Door Gasket arrived in a very timely manner and works well. Saved me $700 or so on new appliance. Top rated appliance company had advised could not get necessary part to fix my refrigerator door!!

Haier HBCN05FVS 150-Can Beverage Center

• Beverage center for chilling and storing up to 150 12-ounce cans
• 4 full-width adjustable vinyl-coated shelves hold both cans and bottles
• Adjustable thermostat; reversible glass door with recessed handle
• Removable lower bottle rack; automatic defrost; lock and key for optional security
• Measures 21-1/4 by 20-1/2 by 31-3/8 inches

My beverage center arrived quickly and we were quite eager to get it up and running as my husband always takes too much space in the fridge with his bottled water, soda pop and beer. Just as advertised, it holds a lot of stuff!

The honeymoon ended quickly though, when we found that we could not get the temp to go below 49 degrees, which is pretty tepid for any cold beverage and absolutely unacceptable for beer. We tried everything, reread instructions, etc. You can only set it on a dial, there no indication of what the temp actually is...so we bought a thermometer and got the bad news that despite being on the coldest setting possible, we weren't getting below 49-50, which according to the thermometer we bought is actually in the "danger" zone of letting bacteria breed.

So, we call the manufacturer who says that we should have know it is a "cooler" not a fridge and will only keep beverages 20 degrees cooler than the ambient temp in the house. What a crock!!!!!!

So, we're stuck with a piece of equip that barely cools things down.

I suggest anyone interested in purchasing these things, now matter the price, be well informed between the differences of cooler and refrigerator. I have learned an expensive lesson.

This thing broke in 9 months. Never really got drinks cold anyway. More of a "chiller" than refrigerator. Get something else.

Reading all the other reviews of this product......you have to blame the error of the customers and not the product itself.

If you have ever owned a Wine Fridge.....you know it is NOT a refrigerator....that is not its purpose. If the other reviewers wanted a beverage holder that was able to keep food in it or keep beverages below 40degrees....then they should have gotten a REFRIGERATOR...not a wine fridge/chiller.

So knowing that....let us give an honest and realistic review of this item based on what it was actually designed for.

This unit while not the highest frills of wine chillers is attractive with a stainless steel trim on the door and a glass front and a black body. The door is reversible and it has an internal blue LED interior light you can turn on/off depending on your mood. It does not have a Temperature indicator with a simple dial for temperature with MIN to MAX indicators. It is simple and attractive.....and given its price....thats to be expected. I purchased a suction cup thermometer that faces out and mounts to the interior of the glass door for like 2$.

It comes with 4 adjustable racks and the nice bonus of a bottom storage area rack that has not been present in other wine chillers I have purchased. It allows you to stack cans on the bottom on their side so they don't roll out.

My unit is new and I purchased it as it is replacing an old Urbina thermoelectric wine chiller that finally crapped out after 2.5 years (It was dirt cheap so no big whoop). We will see if this unit is the exception.

Lets be honest......these units don't tend to last more than 3 years on average so if you are worried about that a higher end unit may be to your liking....but you will pay a pricey premium for actual fridge-like beverage centers like GE's.....or just invest in a long extended warranty so you can be re-imbursed should it fail within 3 years (this is what I did).

This unit unlike my old model has an actual compressor and sealed coolant system which is a luxury at this price range....usually you are getting a thermo-electric cooling system at prices below 200$.

I will update my review in the coming months but so far my unit on MAX is cooling better than expected with an average of 33F below room temp:

(Current Results = Room Temp 75F / Cooler Temp 42F )

* NOTE: Cooler is in a shaded corner away from direct sunlight...and this is also one of the 'newer' models in stores now.

Hopefully this informed and realistic review will help others. This is good unit for the price if you want a beverage chiller. It is similar to units they use at bars and convenience stores on or near the counter. Your beverages will be chilled but they will not be ice cold. Your white wine will be in the perfect temperature range (depending on the temp of your home or room)......which is exactly what this unit was designed for.

The fridge looks great, would be a perfect for beer, and I thought would be perfect for my bar. Only problem is that it is junk. It does not get cold whatsoever. Might as well stick your beer outside at night to get it cooler. Do not buy unless you know how to rig the thermostat.

Having read the reviews about the lowest temperature this gets to, I was skeptical, but decided to buy this one anyway. Mostly because of the price and the fact that it fit almost perfectly in the space where the old one was.

Although this is NOT meant for built in spaces, I had a planned workaround. Anyway, my first tests were with the fridge in the middle of an 80F room with plenty of air circulation and no direct sun. Note that this unit does not have a condenser fan (the fan on the back of most larger refrigerators). Instead, the coils are behind the side panels, so they do get very warm. Anyway, because there is no fan, you should not use it built in.

So how did it do? I used a temperature logging device with my laptop and a power meter. On the maximum setting, it cycles on for 30-45 minutes and then off for about 30 minutes. It uses about 80 watts when on (0 watts when off, unless you have the LED's on so maybe a watt) and the temperature ranged from 35F to 45F with a median temperature of 41 (that's what a can of beer or soda would be at any given time because of its thermal mass).

80 watts seemed like a lot of energy for such a small unit, but since Amazon doesn't provide energy data for these, there's no way to compare.

Just for grins, I tried putting the unit in the cabinets (with 1/2" side clearance, 2" on top and 4" in the back) with no modifications. While it did cool about as well as in the open, it ran almost continuously, turning off only for about 5 minutes every 2 hours. That would be a huge energy hog so what I did was put a ~5" diameter muffin fan in the side of the cabinet such that it drew cool air from an adjacent area (the drawer section) and exhausted it into the area where the fridge is. Since the only openings were towards the front, that gave good circulation all around. I had an old Sears Craftsman power switch that I wasn't using (the kind normally used to turn on an accessory when a tool is turned on) that now turns the fan on whenever it senses the fridge is running. The added fan draws 10 watts, but it keeps the fridge from running constantly so it will save electricity. In fact, it may actually may run less than when it was in the open because of the added air circulation.

I find the unit is quiet (sorry don't have a decibel meter), but it is in the family room where the TV is and is not objectionable. Even when it was out in the open and not in the cabinet, it wasn't too loud.

I wish it was more energy efficient, but considering the price it is a good buy.

UPDATE 8-9-12:

I found that having the blue LED lights on affects the temperature inside. That's because the power supply for the LED is in a section of the housing where the thermostat is. If you have the lights on all the time, they generate a small amount of heat which makes the thermostat think the whole fridge is warmer. Thus it will run longer and get the inside about 5 degrees colder. This could explain why some people say the temperature inside is too warm. If you want to get it colder, try turning ON the blue LEDs!

I lowered my initial rating from 4 to 3 stars because of poor Haier customer service. I needed to get a new plastic plug that covers the hole in the door left from reversing the hinges (it was jammed in so tight and it is soft plastic so it got mashed up when I tried to remove it). The manufacturer basically said too bad, you have to buy a new one! This is for a part that couldn't cost more than a quarter.

KitchenAid 21.9 Cu. Ft. Stainless Stee Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - KBRS22KWMS

We replaced our old side by side with this Stainless KitchenAid single door bottom freezer. I did not want ice maker or water either in the door or inside the fridge. I read tons of reviews and the consistent complaint seems to be that ice makers break and they take up space. Finding a fridge with no ice maker or water was a challenge despite the fact the every sales person I met said they get frequent requests for fridges without ice maker.

Regarding single door, I decided against French Door (read complaints about them not closing properly), most side by sides had water in door. I looked at higher end brands but this KitchenAid fit the bill and we love the bottom freezer. A family probably would require more capacity but this is perfect for the two of us. I love the door storage which holds a gallon of milk. It is quiet and so far no complaints (3 months in!). We also got a KitchenAid dishwasher with same style handle to match.

Only improvement would be to have a place in door for wine bottles. Also would prefer something closer to counter depth (for aesthetics only). Otherwise love it and it Looks great!

The computer board broke and I was told by the repairman that this model will 95% of the time have this problem after about 6 yrs of use. They don't have a new part available; they have to 'repair' the broken board. It has been 3 weeks and the part has yet to materialize. Am very disappointed that Kitchen Aid is apparently aware of this inherent flaw in the product and hasn't issued a recall, or at least have the part available so it can be fixed quickly.

I have 2 of these, side by side in my kitchen and am told the other one will also fail at some point.

Shame on Kitchen Aid, and word to the wise, don't buy this product!

Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser

• Complete American Sankey Tap System that Holds 1/2, 1/4 & Mini Barrel Kegs
• Adjustable Thermostat
• Chrome Beer Tower & Guardrail, so you won't fall off
• Heavy Duty Worktop & Cabinet
• Decorative Stainless Steel Door with Black Cabinet

It was 'ignaugurated' at a party I hosted, and the 5 gal keg didn't last long! (Of course, it was a good beer...locally brewed Pacific Coast Emerald Ale.)

Be prepared: After it's set up and you've had people over, you're going to be QUITE popular! Expect comments like "I'm going to be over at your place every afternoon." Haier America should realize their best marketing ploy is satisfied customers. I've had it two weeks and Haier may be selling 3 additional units soon.

OK, so what about the product rating, especially in light of all the negative comments provided earlier? Well, here's my take on it:

Set up was fairly simple, if you discount the fact that one part was missing (see below).

Quality seems to be adequate. They use quality parts, e.g., the CO2 regulator and dispensing valve.

It's keeping my second (post party) keg perfectly chilled and pressurized. (Since the first keg only lasted several hours, we can't base much judgement on that.)

It's wonderful to come home to a fresh, draft beer!

Finding a place to refill the CO2 canister can be difficult. Most commercial places will only exchange (take your brand new canister and give you a used, filled canister). I finally found a fire extinguisher service that does refills after making MANY calls.

Does this make it perfect? Hardly.

My experience confirms that Haier America has poor customer service. I purcased the unit a week in advance of a party I was hosting. After getting it home and setting it up, I realized (according to the manual) that it was missing the washer that goes between the CO2 tank and the regulator. I called Haier customer service the following morning and was shocked by how they treated me. The basic tone of their response was "tough luck." I would have to follow their procedures which were: 1) fax or send via US mail my purchase receipt 2) Allow them two business days from their receipt of this to get back to me 3) After doing a 'confirmation' they would send me the washer within two weeks.

I was irate and told them so! I had purchased the unit specifically for my upcoming party and now would not be able to use it! Their reponse: "These are our procedures."

I did two things after this:

1) I located the manufacturer of the CO2 regulator and contacted them about the possibility of getting a washer. They informed me that the regulator was redesigned and did not need a washer. Haier was supposed to include an update with their user manual (they didn't, and customer service obviously wasn't aware of this change).

2) I located information on Haier America and faxed their CEO an scathing letter telling him what I thought about spending $500 for something and not being able to use it at the function I bought it for! Lo and behold, the next day I received a call from their corporate offices saying they would be overnighting me the missing washer. I explained I had learned it wasn't needed, but the woman calling me wasn't taking any chances. She overnighted it to me anyway. Moral of the story: Make your voice heard when you recieve bad service.

Anyway, my 'washerless' set up is now working fine and I'm loving the unit.

As the other reviewers have stated, the dispenser freezes in the back and does not thaw, nor does the temperature of the dispenser work correctly, mine runs warm even at the highest setting. Although customer service will document your call in Ottawa, their corporate office in New York will not return my call. The three repair numbers customer service gave me did no good as I was also told by one repair person that Haier does not reimburse the repairs and as a result they will not come out to my home. Customer service told me twice that they have recommended to the corporate office to replace my unit, but of the five to six calls I have placed over the past two months, I have not received any calls that any progress or action will be taken. I have been trying to get my dispenser serviced since September.

Overall, as far as the product goes, I have to say I'm quite happy with the beer dispenser. No problems with the temperature adjustment (but then, I'm not trying to keep my beer at 34 degrees), it pours nicely, the components seem to be high quality aside from the plastic hose clamps for the CO2 line, but those were easy to replace with metal ones at the hardware store.

However, I have to agree with the other reviewers, Haier's customer service is...challenging. My wife bought me the dispenser for Christmas (that's true love). She had it delivered to a neighbor's house so I wouldn't suspect anything. On December 26, I went to retrieve the box and set it up in my basement. Upon opening the unit, I discovered that a significant number of parts were missing LIKE THE ENTIRE CO2 SYSTEM, TAP, AND KEG CONNECTION. Basically I had a $600 mini-fridge. You'd think someone in shipping might notice that the box was 25 pound light, but, whatever.

I called Haier, and they were fairly helpful at first. They told me I should fax a list of the missing parts along with my proof of purchase, which I did. They then told me it would be a couple days to "validate" my claim, a couple days to process the order, and then two weeks for the parts to arrive. I called back every few days to see how things were going, and it was easy to get a real person on the phone each time, but these people weren't able to offer much information.

Apparently, Haier's parts warehouse is located on the dark side of the moon, because it was impossible for customer service to tell me when or how the parts would be shipping. No way to get a tracking number, no way to know if the parts were in stock, nothing. So, I waited patiently for three weeks. When the parts didn't show up, I called back and, surprise, they couldn't tell me what happened. I talked to a supervisor at Haier, and she told me the same thing. She started to resubmit the order, but several parts were now showing up as backordered on her screen, with no ETA available.

At this point, I was done with Haier. I called Amazon and explained my situation, and I said I wanted to get an exchange or a refund. At first, I was told to "contact the manufacturer." When I explained that I'd been doing that for the past month with no luck, they agreed to exchange it, no problem. They also said I wasn't the only one this happened to. Within two days, a replacement was on its way, and I had a tracking number. Thank you, Amazon.

So, I didn't have tap beer for Christmas, or New Year's, or my birthday, but I've got it for the Super Bowl, and it's good.

The place I get my kegs from gave me the right washer so I have not had any problems on that side whatsoever.

This was an impulse buy for me. Sure I did some research then one Saturday I was having a party and went and picked this up at the local Brandsmart. Beer would come out cold, not as cold as I'd like but not too warm. One thing I learned right away, you have to let the keg sit overnight before tapping inside the cooler. I'm new to this, so I did not know the pitfalls of tapping a warm keg. I came on here and read some of the reviews. It was not until about a month later that the temperature issue became a problem. I hesitated but took a previous poster's advice and now the beer is as cold as I like. I recommenc going for a half to 3/4 turn on the screw as opposed to a full one. You dont want the thing to run so much that it burns out. I would find it odd how the cooler would cycle on for about 5 minutes then off for 20. Now its on for 20-30 and off for the same. Nonetheless, my Michelob Light has never tasted better. I have not had to deal with Haier directly and from the looks of it, I hope I wont have to. This unit is a good value. Once you get past the temperature issue, you cant ask for a better deal. Both the tap and faucet are good quality as well as he Co2 tank. I recommend you get a better regulator with the "mickey mouse ears". One to tell you the pressure and the other how much gas is left in the tank. .

Yes I recommend this.

DON'T BUY ONE!!! the worst customer service! they lie to you and tell you everything is going to be fixed. no response back even after about 10 phone calls over 1 month. Doesn't keep beer cold enough. the electrical plug in to the compressor shorted out and would not work, got the run around from haier customer service,(sounded good, don't believe it.)called the new york coporate office got sorry that's the warranty and will have to pay for the service tech. very dissatisfied with the QUOTE " BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ADVERTISE!" I hope everone boycots haier products.

Wine Enthusiast EuroCave SoWine Home Wine Bar

• Preserve wine for 10 days
• Chill unopened wine
• Holds 2 bottles
• No stoppers, pumps or gases required
• Silent Cooling Technology

I carefully researched the product prior to purchase and was concerned about some of the negative reviews that I read. However, the ability to store AND preserve a couple of open bottles was all too tempting to pass up! I was well aware about the "condensation" issues many reviewers complained about. I was NOT prepared for problems a mere 5 months after purchasing the system.

It started with the power cord and charger malfunctioning. There is no means by which to contact Eurocave directly. There is no phone number on their web site. I was not able to get assisstance through the vendor I bought the product from since they are not a distributor. I ended up calling the Wineenthusiast for help. They were wonderful and fixed the issued by selling me a new charger and power cord.

Now the indicator light on the control panel is flashing red continually and the oxygen vacuum extraction system no longer works. The Wineenthusiast has no solution except for buying another one to replace mine. Another $400 some dollars for a potentially malfunctioning system??? I am still in shock that there is no recourse to address the problem. I DO NOT recommend this product, nor the vendor as they have non-existent customer service.

I bought this item for my husband for Christmas 2008. It works great and extends the life of wine enabling you to have a glass of white or red or preserve two reds. The "malfunctioning" of the air seal mentioned is not really a malfunction if you push one of the tops down. It will continue to try to suck the air out of a bottle that's not there. Also, you need to remove the foil at the top of the bottle so it can seal properly. I'm surprised that one customer had a hard time with Wine Enthusiast. I had some questions for them regarding this unit and they were very helpful. Very satisfied with this product.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas and loved it for 10 days until it malfunctioned. Thus far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to reach Wine Enthusiast. I have been left on hold indefinitely and no one has responded to my e-mail. Customer support has been more disappointing than the actual wine bar itself. Still stuck with a broken expensive product.

Bottom line Don't buy this!

You can imagine my excitement the day I opened my EuroCave SoWine wine preserver. I could now safely store open bottles of both red and white wine in an attractive, boastful mechanical marvel. The gift was for Christmas 2009 and showed a manufacturing date of 9/2008. Coming from a small wine shop, I guess that they did not sell a lot of these.

I plugged the unit in per the instructions, and immediately I heard a loud clattering noise and the indicator lights began flashing in error. I understand how products sometimes are defective, especially when they are imported from faraway locations as France.

It went back to the wine shop in January 2010. Of course they did not have a replacement on hand, but ordered one for me. The new one arrived in March 2010, again with a manufacturing date of 9/2008. They must have made a lot of these back then.

It worked great! My white wines were chilled to perfection, the reds kept at room temperature. Three months later the indicator lights started flashing in error again, the vacuum pump refused to turn off and the chiller stopped working.

I went back to the wine shop in June 2010 for another replacement. This time it took 4 months for the new one to arrive. As I unpacked it, I noticed the manufacturing date again 9/2008!! This one seemed to do the trick, but only lasted 3 months. The left hand indicator light stays on the white wine setting, the left on the red wine setting. They both flashed and could not be changed. It didn't matter as the cooler and warmer didn't work anyway. The pump continued to run and the sound of the machine was annoying.

When I returned to the wine shop, they were out of business. I tried contacting the manufacturer in France without success. There are no service centers in the United States. The Wine Enthusiast company (The name appearing on the box) are only retailers and offered me a discount on a new one.

I unplugged this piece of crap and now store red wine in it as it does keep it at room temperature so does my kitchen counter for that matter.

My advice: If you are thinking about buying this, you would be better purchasing a $334.78 bottle of fine wine, knowing in advance that you will be pissing your money away the next morning.

This product is great until it stops working. Mine has been repaired twice and still does not work properly. It is evidently a very delicate product that does not stand heavy use. Better buy a regular wine fridge and a manual pump..
