GE Profile : PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu.ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

GE Profile : PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu.ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless SteelI upgraded from the standard freezer on top and no water dispenser or ice maker and this review is coming from that perspective.

We bought this fridge because of the dimensions that fit our space. We couldn't get the standard 35 3/4 in width fridge. We looked at LG and the thing I like about this fridge is the internal water dispenser. It means that you do not need to lose any interior space. I'm glad I didn't get the LG because the loss of door space would have been a problem.The ice maker is in the freezer (no crushed ice) and works fast. It makes 100 cubes a day.

The interior space seems to be the same actual space as the old fridge but there are many configuration options making better use of the space, possibly. Not sure if it really makes a difference.

The thing I like the most is the fact that I do not need to bend down to see what's in the fridge.

A few other things that I'd like to mention because I have seen them in other reviews:

Noise: More than a fridge without an ice maker not really noticeable.

Energy efficiency: Seems OK.

Stainless steel: Get the stainless steel spray cleaner (not the wipes). Does a great job keeping the prints off.

Ice maker: Cranks out the ice. Once I think the there-is-enough-ice sensor didn't detect that the ice was full. You can turn off the ice maker so no biggie.

Water dispenser: It has an easy to change filter accessible inside the fridge. Water tastes excellent. The first gallon or so had a plastic taste (I also used a plastic water line) but it went away. I hear this is common.

Freezer drawers: There are three. It seems ok. Very different from the old top freezer. I like it but it makes you pack more efficiently so you can slide the drawers. This tends to force you to pay attention to what you have in the freezer rather than just tightly packing it in like in the old days.

Overall I am very happy with the fridge and would recommend it to anyone. I realized that after I bought the fridge that there was a model with an external water dispenser that doesn't take any space away from the interior (ice maker is still in the freezer). Had this been available when I bought it, I may have opted for it. Still I have no regrets.

We just replaced our 16 year old fridge with this GE french door model. Overall it is an adequate replacement but not of the quality I expected. I like the sliding shelves, the easy to see temp controls and the stainless steel finish. My last fridge was also a bottom freezer; an option that I highly recommend. The french doors versus my old single door has more compartments but less space. Eggs no longer have their own door compartment; they now take up space on a shelf. My old single door would close by itself (gravity) but the new french doors take a conscious effort; a particular problem if you have kids. Occasionally, a door is left partially open and sometimes an audible alarm (if you're near)will alert you, but don't count on it. The freezer door takes muscle to open and close. You'd think that for the price they could devise a smoother door. The freezer drawer is deep an appears to have a lot of capacity. This is misleading since there are several sliding drawers (baskets) in the top of the freezer that limit the amount that the main drawer can hold. We removed the middle basket which improved the capacity but reduced the organization. Not a limitor only an inconvenience. There is a water dispenser inside fridge that operates okay when filling a small single glass but difficult to operate for a bigger vessel. The resevoir for the water/ice takes up produce drawer space reducing the amount that they can hold. Bottom line is that it looked great on the showroom floor, but was not as practical when we got it home.

We purchased an entire kitchen of appliances including this Fridge about 3 years ago and it has been nothing but trouble. It came with faulty gaskets that would not seal. Within 3 months the vegatable drawer guides were broken. The door latch at the top snapped off after two years, and now about 3 years later the indicator light panel is non-functional. This fridge was lightly used and never abused. After reading other consumer reviews I see we are not the only family to have these problems. Don't even get me started on the microwave!! Shame on GE for producing inferior disposable applicances to fill our nations landfills. I am disgusted. I will never purchase or recommend a GE product again. GE = FAIL!!!

Want GE Profile : PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu.ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Discount?

Our GE Profile refrigerator has all of the disadvantages I have read in the reviews here and more. Beginning with the day it arrived. The wheels on the frig are so small that given the weight of the thing, it damages floors as it rolls, even empty. They knew that and put down thick padding, but I didn't and when I pulled it out later when it started leaking, it put noticeable "track marks" on our oak (not pine!) floors. So get some padding to roll it on. And make sure every family member knows where the water shutoff to the frig or the house is. You'll need it.

Now to the tale of woe:

Twice now, the solenoid control for the water/ice-maker has started leaking. It is not that the line broke; the cheap little piece of Chinese crap began leaking from its own plastic casing. The frig wet our wood floor, damaging it. It damaged the drywall in the great room and its floor and walls below the frig. On both occasions. Since the leak was slow, and behind the fridge, we did not discover it until a lot of damage was done. Both new replacement parts were identical copies of the old onesno effort to fix the problem even though the repairman says they fail constantly just as ours did.

The thing began to have temperature control problems. Took two visits for the repairman to figure out that the little plastic flapper that controls airflow between frig and freezer had broken. Replaced that. The one that came out I still have to show people. It looks like a 5th grade science project. The housing is styrofoam of the quality that your stereo came in, with a piece of plastic that is operated by a tiny motor. The "axle" on the flapper is barely bigger around than a toothpick, and the repairman admitted, "Oh, those things always break. This new one will break after a while." I wish I could post a picture of it.

Turned out that while the flapper was indeed broken, it still did not fix the problem. Fridge still would not cool properly and the left side was getting so hot you could hardly hold your hand on it. Some sort of computer board swapout was required. Very expensive.

The lever against which you push your glass for ice or water operates a valve for water. Any sticky contents from a glass will be splashed onto the valve and it will become stuck shut. If you are lucky. Ours also stuck open, with water pouring all over the place, though at least we were here to see it. Another repair visit. Even if you use nothing but empty glasses, mildew will form around the dispenser and is a nightmare to clean since it was not designed with smooth surfaces for cleaning.

The ice dispenser is so imprecise that it never gives a predictable amount of ice. You push the lever sequentially: No ice... no ice... no ice... a couple of cubes... then BINGOfull tall glass of ice and ice all over the floor. It all releases in a torrent. T

he water line for the water dispenser used to constantly freeze up, requiring that the temp in the frig be set higher until it thawed. Also, the buttons that switched among water, ice, and crushed ice began to malfunction. We finally got it back to ice and do not dare switching again. We stopped using the water dispenser and now have space taken up by a Brita pitcher.

I have put a water detector under the damn thing, but I did ask the remarkably candid repairman what to expect next. Said he: "Well, you see these water lines for the ice and water? Where they go into the solenoid I just replaced, that's near the compressor. It gets real hot right there because the cooling fan is not adequate. These things are not really made to be built in because not enough air gets to them. So these plastic lines break all the time." When that happens you get another flood. There is no catch pan, water alarm, or shutoff valve. If you are away for the weekend, good luck when you return.

We have friends who have a 1947 refrigerator in their basement that has been running constantly since they bought their house back then. Only repair: a door seal about 10 years ago. That GE puts out the kind of quality they do now is shameful. We're pilots, and are aware that they make aircraft engines. They know how to make reliable stuffif they didn't in aviation, they'd kill people. But with refrigerators, they can keep selling us crap, and letting our insurance companies pay the thousands of dollars in drywall, paint, and floor refinishing. Of course, we policyholders pay in the endin our premiums.

We have paid hundreds of dollars in repairs for this damn thing, and I wish I could just have back one of those old white things which you plugged into the wall, put your stuff in, it got cold, and you forgot about the box for 25 years at least.

Google "GE sucks" and other similar expressions of love you'd expect from irate customers. ("GE sucks" brings up a YouTube video of a Profile frig that pretty much covers it.)

Friends of ours have a Liebherr that people are raving about. German made, with the quality you'd expect from them. You'll pay more money, but deduct the cost of two ruined floors, walls, ceiling, etc. Beneath GE's stainless steel facade is nothing but the cheapest junk they can find. Had we known, we'd have gone with Liebherr.

Finally, ovens. We have two of the same type GE Profile ovens, one here and one at a country property. The touchpads keep going bad, (Google "GE F7 error," and "GE F0 error") and they have a knack for knowing when company is coming. Over $300.00 a pop. According to an independent repairman: "Electronics hate two thingsheat and moisture. GE refuses to build in the protection for their electronics, so they all go bad. The more moist things you cook, the sooner it happens. They make a fortune off selling touchpads over and over."

What an embarrassment insofar as American productivity is concerned. And way too typical. Bosch dishwasher? Great so far10 years in. Everything they said it would do, and quiet as a mouse.

LG AIR CLEANER FILTER Assembly OEM Original Part: ADQ73214402

LG AIR CLEANER FILTER Assembly OEM Original Part: ADQ73214402Identical product to original "Kenmore Elite Replacement CleanFlow Air Filter" sold by Sears as "SearsItem# 04609918000 | Model# 9918" for $25.00 + tax and S&H.

Works great inside Kenmore Elite Model #72053 refrigerator.

Great bargain!

Showed up on time and was easy to replace. The old one looked the same as the new one in every way. I replaced it because the door system said it was time. The next week we had the LG repairman out on another issue (to replace the tracks on the flimsy upper drawer in the freezer) and he told me that the air filter may never need replaced, and the water filter should last twice as long as the unit would let you think. At the price charged for these filters..........

Filter arrived today and it's identical to the one that came from Sears with the Kenmore Elite refrigerator. We replaced the orginial after the recommended 6 months but it really could wait for 1 year in our fridge. It's basically just a charcoal filter that absorbs the odors. (We're not big fish eaters) The packing left a little to be desired. It was just the filter thrown in a large box. No plastic wrap or even a packing slip. Just the filter.... odd way to ship but it arrived and was just what I needed.

The filter was thrown in a box without any packaging. It was not even put in a plastic bag. There was no way of telling if it was new or if someone found it lying around.

Received the item quickly and efficiently. It was the correct model. Packaging was a little odd but got the job done (it was shipped inside mailer envelope with no invoice and no instructions).

Dinged one star because of price.

My only complaint is about the cost, especially since this filter is *supposed* to be replaced every 6 months. The price ($14.62) seems excessive, but this was the going rate no matter where I tried to get it from, including LG (I've noticed the price has gone up a little since I purchased). It is just a little plastic frame with some thin mesh and I presume some activated charcoal inside. Why does it cost SO much?!! Since we never have any dairy, meat or fish in our fridge, it probably does not need to be replaced so often.

Vinotemp VT-WINEDISP2 2 Bottle Wine Dispenser, Black

Vinotemp VT-WINEDISP2 2 Bottle Wine Dispenser, BlackFor various reasons I attempted to setup 2 of these side by side (one for whites, one for reds). The first two showed up quickly (thanks Amazon Prime!) and neither functioned. One was smashed beyond recognition (door sheered off its hinges, top crushed, side panel metal bent and curled over at the top). The shipping and product boxes were fine so it must've been packed that way. Thanks Amazon returns.

The second unit turned on and refrigerated but didn't dispense. The manual only says, "Change the gas cylinder and if that doesn't work, inspect the solenoid." I changed the gas canister and that didn't work, and I didn't feel like prying the unit apart to find a solenoid and 'inspect it somehow.' Vinotemp customer service never returned my calls. When I did finally get through to someone they seemed baffled by the problem, took my name and phone number, and after a couple days, they haven't called me back. Now using Amazon Prime again to return and replace the item.

The first replacement unit did work just fine. Chilled AND dispensed. Easy to use and setup and maintain. The compressor and fan do make a fair amount of noise so you may not want this in an area where you expect some quiet. I'll update if the 2nd replacement unit doesn't work, at which point both will go back in favor of lower tech and cheaper alternatives.

*** update

The second unit arrived and functioned just fine. Both have been happily humming along for a little over a month. They are a bit loud when the compressor is running, and the front lights keep a room pretty well lit when dark, but the wines are lasting 1-2 weeks and I love the convenience. Worthwhile...if you get broken units just keep returning them until you get working ones. Fingers crossed these will last a good long time.

I bought the Vinotemp in October 2012 thinking it would be a nice addition to my bar set up and a convenient, allbeit expensive, way to preserve a nice bottle of wine for more than a few days.

My initial observations upon unwrapping the package:

1) My unit has been opened and possibly used before. In fact, the nitrogen cartridge was already installed and probably half full, though I don't know for sure as replacing it was one of the trouble-shooting techniques I describe below.

2) Looks nice. Probably too large to fit under most cabinets, but if you've got some space, it certainly adds some sophistication to an unsophisticated wine display

3) Plug it in, turn it on, set the temp...mine works. Woo hoo!

I diligently cleaned out the hoses in the contraption, particularly since, as noted above, the unit had probably been used before. This entailed using the already-installed nitrogen cartridge to pump warm water from empty wine bottles through the dispenser system. The system hooked up to the bottle nicely and the water flowed through with no problems.

I was especially excited about the machine because it would give me the flexibility to compare two different vintages of Twomey I'd saved for this occassion without having to worry about 3/4 of each bottle going to waste. I opened up the 2007 Merlot and 2008 Merlot and poured a glass of each before attaching the 2 bottles to the machine. I enjoyed the wine in the glasses I initially poured, but when I went back for a few more ounces of each, this time dispensed from the machine, I noticed a distinctly different bouquet and flavor the wines that were full and sweet and alive out of the bottle seemed empty and fruitless and lifeless out of the machine.

I've tried troubleshooting, but have observed that, in my experiments, the only variable that causes good wines to become lifeless and fruitless is the fact that it's dipensed from the machine. Some of the things I've tried with different bottles to mitigate this effect include:

1) Letting the wine breathe longer before attaching it to the machine.

2) Changing out the nitrogen cartridge

3) Changing the temperature setting

4) Cleaning the system diligently -again

5) Running the wine out of the machine through a Vinturi into my glass

So, conclusion (A) is that my machine is easy to use and looks nice, but is severly detrimental to the quality of the wine.

The next disappointing conclusion I've drawn, conclusion (B), is that this machine does not preserve wine any longer than the cheap wine preserver vacuum pump kits. This unit is advertised to preserve wine up to 45 days, although maybe all of the advertisements have gotten it wrong and left the '-' that should be between the '4' and the '5' out. I've found that, if used properly, many of the

Whirlpool GI0FSAXVY Gold 19.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator - Ener

Whirlpool GI0FSAXVY Gold 19.8 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator - Energy StarPro:

The interior design is good. Holds pop cans and is very versitile for arranging the shelves how you want them. Good size.

Cons:

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! WHIRLPOOL HAS VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

The front right door dos not close properly due to an engineering flaw. Could be easily fixed but whirlpool does not care. They told me quote "That is just the way it is, live with it." Can you imagine! This is after 3 videos of the issue and a dozen phone calls to prove the problem.

Let me explain briefly.

The wing or flap that opens and closes on the left side door, holds the door open 1+ inches if not pressed firmly shut when closing. The inside door sensor reads as if it is shut and the alarm for the open door does not go off and the refrigerator stays open and gets warm inside about once a week if the last person to use does not check closely to make sure the doors are pressed firmly shut. This is BAD! Milk, meat, etc.. Now has half life. It stays open and just touching every day. Nobodies family is going to be taught to always firmly press the refrigerator doors to make sure they are closed tightly. Let's be realistic.

Anyway,

Do not buy this poorly engineered wreck. And do not buy Whirlpool brand because of their HORRIBLE Customer service.

TRUTH!!!!!

MLB Boston Red Sox Counter Top Refrigerator

MLB Boston Red Sox Counter Top RefrigeratorThis is a regular refrigerator with three thin vinyl stickers pasted on the sides and front. When it came, the stickers had air bubbles on one side and the front. Tried to smooth them out but they just came back again. When taking a closer look the Applica's did not even fit right. They are to long for the fridge so the bottom of the glue side pick up dirt. I would not recommend this item. Go to Wal-Mart for half the price you will get a better one.

The refrigerator was delivered pretty quickly. I got it and opened it up. The back of the frig was dented.. The Red Sox logo/design was a big sticker that was pealing off. I shipped other right back.
