Black & Decker 1.7 cu. ft. Compact Fridge, Black
  • NuCool; Enhanced Coolant and Compressor-Free Cooling Technology

I originally purchased this refrigerator from Wal-Mart nearly a year ago for college. I got it for under $70 and really liked it a lot. Enough space to store basics including half gallon milk, meat, sodas and sports drinks and other things as well. Unfortunately with in the last few weeks the refrigerator began making popping sounds and now, just a few months after 1 year owning this refrigerator, the unit will no longer cool.

I can't complain as the unit worked great when it was functioning and I purchased an extended warranty and was able to get reimbursed for my failed unit. The important thing to take away is that these fridges are prone to and have an excessive failure rates. If you purchase this refrigerator I would suggest getting an extended warranty, you may very well end up having to make a claim before you think you will.

Its works good if indoors and keeps drinks cool/cold. It requires an ambient room temperature of 80 degrees or less to operate. Some people have reported the unit failing after a short time but its worked good so far.

Bought one of these at Walmart for $80 to use as a beer fridge. As others have experienced, mine worked fine for about a year. I tried to be upset about that, but in that year I likely spent 20 times more on the beer itself than what I paid for the fridge.

I consider that a job well done, Mini Fridge. You gave a year of your life indeed, your very life itself to save and protect my beer. I don't take that sacrifice lightly. Rather, I honor you, Mini Fridge. Godspeed.

Good unit for about six months.. but now it does not keep anything cold. I cleaned the coils to see if that was the problem. It helped some.. but I wouldn't put my yogurt and beer in there.

Vinotemp 28TEDS 28 Bottle Wine Cooler

Vinotemp 28TEDS 28 Bottle Wine Cooler
  • Attractive free-standing wine cooler
  • Sturdy shelf racking
  • Thermoelectric temperature controls
  • Black exterior with stainless steel door
  • Ultra-quiet and energy efficient

Purchased unit in November and have not been able to use it but 3 days. Unit will not turn on, and when plugged in it is making a very high CHIRPING sound. Called VINOTEMP and was informed that It was a model from 2008 and they would not honor warranty. Told I could PURCHASE A NEW BOARD for the unit at a price of over 65.00. After paying 300.00 for the unit I am not going to do that. I would not buy this again and am forwarding this to the BBB. STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNIT AND COMPANY.

The continuous, loud high-pitched whining which can be heard several rooms away was not part of the item description. And it barely hits the selected temperature. I tested it using two different digital thermometers. Not even close. I give it one stars since it actually does hold large bottles. If you can leave it sitting in a cool basement with lots of sound insulation, it's a good buy. Otherwise, skip it. purchased Feb 2012

Unfortunately I have to recommend that you pass on this wine refrigerator. The size was perfect and it looks nice but the first one that I received was dead on arrival. I called Vinotemp and a replacement was arranged and received quickly. Fast forward nine months the replacement has stopped working. Like one of the other reviewers, I have a clicking sound coming from the back and a flashing red light I hope that my repair is as simple as a $2 part from Radio Shack. Vinotemp said that my control board is dead and I can buy and self install a replacement for $70 including shipping. I have a refrigerator in the garage that has been working for 40 years what do they know that Vinotemp doesn't? Everyone at Vinotemp that I have spoken to has been very nice but sadly it seems that they make a sub-par product.

My unit stopped working after a year, producing a clicking sound when plugged in. Thanks to an amazon reviewer for the VT-12TEDS, I learned that the likely trouble-maker was a burnt out capacitor on the board. By opening the back of the wine cooler, I could indeed see that there was a bad capacitor. I replaced this with a 35V 1000uF capacitor from Radio Shack ($1.99), and now the unit works well again!

Very happy with my purchase. Quite and one of the only units I found that is thermoelectric and has a stainless door.

Fits 28 bottles and its already all filled up, with a few extras on the counter. So far so good.

KitchenAid Classic Series KUDC10FXBL Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Black

KitchenAid Classic Series KUDC10FXBL Fully Integrated Dishwasher - BlackPurchased this dishwasher 2 months ago. I am now on the 4th service call and it has not been repaired. KitchenAid just says they are sorry and their local service company will be there to fix. The local service company (A&E Factory Service) has been to fix it 4 times now. Each time, they try to fix and have to order a different part. Then it will be ANOTHER 7 DAYS before they can come back due to scheduling. Very frustrated. DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER!

Dishes get clean but top rack does not roll in and out well. It feels like its going to break every time I push the rack in or out.

For a Kitchenaid, I expected a higher level of quality in this regard.

On the upside, it gets the dishes clean and it's quite.

Nostalgia Electrics RSM-602 Retro Series Snow Cone Machine

Nostalgia Electrics RSM-602 Retro Series Snow Cone MachineI was worried after reading the reviews after my purchase instead of beforehand, but I was glad I bought this snow cone machine anyway. It's extremely cute, just the right size for the family, easy to clean, and it shaves ice quickly. We've had no problems after several uses.

Someone mentioned warping blades, but that's probably due to overstuffing or something. Just drop in ice cubes and let it go. I tried putting in too much ice and even that didn't stop it from working.

Most other ice shavers require you to freeze cylinders of water, and they make extra-smooth shaved ice, but not enough to handle two kids or more.

I too was skeptical about buying this snow cone maker after reading some of the reviews but I'm glad I chose this one. It works great. It is a little loud but that is the only negative thing I would say. It grinds the ice just right for snow cones. I purchased a back to basics snow cone maker and it shaved the ice too fine (even on coarse). It was almost like snow and most of it melted right after I poured the syrup on it.

I purchased this and it did'nt even last 1 week, I followed the 5 minute instructions, related to use, at first the rotating blades warped, then the door fell off. I attempted to contact NOSTALGIA ELECTRONICS FOR replacement parts, no luck, no email, no response. SO PEOPLE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE. I went and purchased another snowcone machine from Rival, actually I purchased two and both models were great.

Bought it for my daughter's birthday...praciced a few days ahead and made snow cones. Worked alright, but did often get "stuck" on ice pieces...WHen I tried to use it for the party a week later, did not work at all...it would run but would make a grinding noise and not shave the ice at all...needless to say, I had very disappointed children! I have a friend who was at the party and said she had exactly the same thing happen with that machine!

Panasonic NN-SD372S 0.8 cuft 950-Watt Microwave with Inverter Technology, Stainless Steel

Panasonic NN-SD372S 0.8 cuft 950-Watt Microwave with Inverter Technology, Stainless SteelI had a Magic Chef 0.7 cubic ft microwave for 10 years and the turntable gave out.

Same kind of door opening so I'm not concerned about that not holding up.

There are quite a few things to commend the Panasonic.

The size is perfect for me at 0.8 cu ft. It fits all my plates easily, takes up little space and is light in weight. I previously looked at Costco's 1200 watt Panasonic but it was too big and too many watts.

This Panasonic at 950 watts does not blow my circuits yet heats quickly. It is simple to operate.

The highlight for me is how it defrosts. I love the inverter defrost function.

This was the only small model that I found that had the feature. It defrosts beautifully.

(I had given up defrosting anything in the Magic Chef---It always cooked the edges.)

I also like the quick minute button.

I don't know that this machine would be the answer for someone who actually cooks in the microwave......... For me it meets my needs for reheating and defrosting, perfectly....... I save my cooking for the Breville Toaster oven........

P.S. Just wanted to add that the turntable is 11 inches--not the 13 stated in the description.

Bought this product because we had a limited space.

It does all the thing the others do but it weighs

less and takes less space.....add to that the

price and you have a price performer

Ordered one of these a month ago and have been very impressed with the features. Heating and re-heating is very precise and lots of options. After a month, noticed that the unit would stay "buzzing" after re-heating cycle when you remove food from the microwave. This would last for about 30 seconds and then stop. Returned to Amazon and received another unit. Called Panasonic this time and they indicated that this is normal operation as fan is cooling off microwave. Must be related to the "inverter" technology. This is not mentioned anywhere in manual or on Panasonic website. Hope to save others the hassle of returning a fully functional unit. Just need to determine now if we can live with this minor annoyance as it is a nice microwave.

I had my old microwave (a Sharp Carousel) for over 20 years when it finally pooped out. I did a lot of research before I purchased this Microwave from Amazon. I decided on the Panasonic NN-SD372S 0.8 because of the Inverter feature and it's 950 watts and most of all the customer reviews. When I received it I thought it would be too difficult to uses because of all the features it had and just glancing at the directions made my head spin. But I read through the directions again and they seemed to make more sense. I love this microwave. I've only used it with the power levels and minute timer and I also used the popcorn setting. It is very quiet and the five beeps at the end of cooking are not blaring like my last microwave. The only thing I don't like is that every little fingerprint shows up on the stainless steel finish. I still gave it 5 stars though. I haven't used it that long so I hope I don't have any problems down the line.

Want Panasonic NN-SD372S 0.8 cuft 950-Watt Microwave with Inverter Technology, Stainless Steel Discount?

I am glad I purchased the Panasonic NN-SD372S. It's quiet and heats food evenly and quickly even with only 950-Watt. It would be nicer if it has stainless steel all around instead of just the front door.

It weights much less than my old and noisy Kenmore microwave.

The best feature for me is the knob for adjusting weight and time, very convenient.

Frigidaire 240350702 Crisper Pan Cover for Refrigerator

Frigidaire 240350702 Crisper Pan Cover for RefrigeratorThis product was exactly what I needed to replace my broken one. It was shipped fast and it was well protected.

Crisper frame is plastic, it would have been better if it had been re-inforced in some manner. It works fine as long as you do not put a small turkey on that shelf.

Haier RF-2800-13 Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack

Haier RF-2800-13 Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-PackIt is very hard to find this type of water filter and very expensive on other online stores(they also are sold online only), I am very happy with the purchase,the haierRF-2800 is the only compatible water filter for my refrigerator; Amazon has the best price and the shipping free!

This filter works...... but I have to change it every 2-3 months when my refrigerator's warning light comes on. And I am the only user at home. I cannot imagine the cost to replace this filter per year for a household of 3-4. The price needs to come down a bit. I cannot afford this filter so I have to install under-sink filtration system with filter that last 12 months; and still pay far less to replace.

Whirlpool 2321799 Defrost Bimetal for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 2321799 Defrost Bimetal for RefrigeratorI have a cheap second refrigerator in my garage; it's branded "Costco by Whirlpool" and built in 1999 in Mexico.

Recently the refrigerator compartment wasn't cooling... spoiled milk was the first clue. This was in spite of the fact that the freezer compartment was fine.

I knew that if the compressor was bad it probably wouldn't be worth repairing this old fridge BUT it probably was OK since the freezer was working. Given the age of the refrigerator I was reluctant to call out a repairman when the meter is at $75-100 when they first show up. So I Googled "Whirlpool refrigerator not cooling" to see if I could get any hint as to whether or not it was liable to be a big problem.

MUCH to my surprise I found a lot of really useful information including several very helpful UTube tutorials. These videos provided trouble-shooting tips and detailed disassembly instructions.... once I opened up the freezer compartment (not at all difficult) it was clear from the hidden ice buildup that the defrost cycle wasn't working and that the ice was blocking cold air from the refrigerator compartment. Several of these videos pointed to the automatic defrost system as the likely culprit and specifically to this defrost thermostat. One even showed a test procedure to verify whether the defrost thermostat was faulty (involves a multi-meter and a glass of ice water, but a AA battery and a flashlight bulb would have worked). Sure enough it looked bad (and failed the test) so I went to the local supply houses to find one. They had generics in stock but those lack the clip on feature. The delay for the clip-on part was 4 four days and the cost was $35.... I could have gotten it just as fast and much cheaper through Amazon. The only "skill" required was stripping the wires and applying wire nuts and electricians' tape (see UTube for detailed how-to).

While I was in there I noticed the fan motor was wobbly and somewhat sticky and thus seemed likely to fail soon. This fan was $65 from my local suppliers so I ordered this guyWhirlpool Part Number 2197381: Evaporator Fan Motor from Amazon for about half that. It was easy to install with my newly-found expertise at removing the freezer parts and fit perfectly... probably a 15-minute chore to replace and it works without wobbling and is very smooth turning. Everything good except my worrying... why worry? The vendor delivered the part to UPS within 24 hours of my order but the UPS tracking system said it was going to take 16 DAYS to get here.... from CA to WA!! I kept checking and the UPSs system kept reporting 16 days. It actually showed up in 5 days (three working days) which is normal UPS Ground from California, so it was all about faulty UPS reporting, not any actual service problem, but if you were waiting for it to repair our main refrigerator, it could cause some stress.

This solves the "freezer cold, fridge warm" problem most of the time. It's a cheap part and a pain to get to so why couldn't whirlpool make it better. After the hairdryer method of manually defrosting (keep towels nearby), my old one seems to be working but who knows for how long.

As a replacement part, Whirlpool has done nothing to make this part more installable. Be prepared for a difficult install.

A bear to install in a side-by-side, but the product works. Replaced a working unit as part of a troubleshooting measure, but did not "screw up" normal operation. Just make sure you seal your wire-nut connections!

Whirlpool 68233-2 Defrost Timer for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 68233-2 Defrost Timer for RefrigeratorUsed on RTW22A Maytag. Connections are reversed from OEM part. Just roll the new timer over like you are going to install it backwards and plug the connections on. You might have to pull on the wiring a bit when you roll the switch over to install it correctly. You can tell how to plug this in by the spacing of the connectors and if you are lucky, by the corresponding letters for each connection. Other than the above difference in connector orientation this part works perfect.
