Summit BI605BFF

Summit BI605BFF
  • Manufactured to the Highest Quality Available.
  • Design is stylish and innovative. Satisfaction Ensured.
  • Great Gift Idea.

I bought the white version of this refrigerator, and was very disappointed. It's overpriced, the auto-defrost is not fully automatic, and the refrigerator portion of my unit froze water at the lowest setting. Worst of all, manufacturer Summit / Felix Storch did not honor its one-year warranty, nor refund my money, despite having picked up the unit. It's been 7 months and counting... I recommend either buying a cheap compact refrigerator, or suck it up and buy a normal unit that is frost-free.

My first impression after removing the unit from the carton was "Wow!" I can't believe I paid nearly $900 for this! I'll have to wait to evaluate the performance but the assembly (Mexico) and exterior are sub-standard for a $900 refrigerator. The door is not aligned well with the cabinet. The rails on the door shelves are cheap, flimsy plastic. Three screws on the rear that hold a metal cover plate were stripped due to being over-driven and had to be replaced. The tape that held the door for shipping left a white sticky residue on the cabinet that had to be cleaned with paint thinner. SUMMIT sure gets a lot of money for a fairly average compact refrigerator.

We bought this same refrigerator about five years ago. Since then we have had repeated problems with it. The doors had to be replaced once. The ice maker was replaced four times, one time when it started breaking up and mixing shards of plastic with the ice. We could have been killed.

This last time the ice maker flooded the kitchen within two hours. We called GE for repairs and the repairman came several days later. He installed a new ice maker and said everthing was fine. He turned on the water and said "All set to go." When we checked a few hours later, there was no ice, the kitchen was flooding, and sheets of water were coming down from the ceiling in our rec room. The GE repairman never turned the valve of the water line on completely, so it leaked far far worse than it ever had before. Knowing to turn water valves completely should be Repair 101. I called GE back at 3:15; the operator said she would e-mail an immediate request to the repair people in our area. A taped message contacted us some five days later. By that time we had bought a new, very different brand.

I can understand a product having problems. But when the factory authorized repairmen make the problems far, far worse, that manufacturer should be put out of business.

Our washing machine did not want to complete a normal cycle. I guess after 10 years, the gears or cogs wear out on these parts. The new part was easy to replace. Done in 20 mins. The washer works fine now.

GE JP328WKWW 30" White Electric Coil Cooktop

GE JP328WKWW 30' White Electric Coil Cooktop
  • Removable One-Piece Drip Bowls
  • Upfront Controls

I love this cooktop because I don't have to clean the burnt marks like on ceramic top stove. But it has three faults. 1. Entire top area becomes super hot (can not touch with fingers). 2. On indicaor light is dim so it does not alert the stove is on. 3. Heating coil temperature is lower than my ceramic cook top so it takes longer to heat up. But in spite of these draw backs it rates higher than the ceramic cook top that needed constant scrubbing to keep clean.

Whirlpool WRF560SEYM 19.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Whirlpool WRF560SEYM 19.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy StarI waited a month for this refrigerator in stainless steel to be made at the factory. At 6 weeks I placed my first service call. A valve underneath was faulty and flooded my new custom wood floor. The second service call came shortly after that with a new problem. The freezer drain froze and once again leaked all over the kitchen. The repairman took the door off, the ice maker out, to defrost the inch of ice on the walls. He also had to modify a grommet on the back side due to the factory flaw. It's 100-105 degrees in Kansas and I'm at the QT buying bags of ice with a new defective refrigerator in my kitchen. Now I have a Whirlpool claim for the floor damage. I also had to take off 4 days of work to wait for the repairman. Whirlpool's response is sorry, we repair, not replace. This refrigerator is not ready to be in the consumer's home. Don't buy it. A big disappointment at a big cost.

Do not buy. This Refrigerator is a big disappointment. 1) The electronics on the door is nearly useless. The temperature is measured by a display of "snowflakes". I had to place a thermometer inside to know what the temp. is. 2) The water dispenses WARM water (50 degrees), its colder from the faucet for most people. You wouldn't know this until after you purchased the product. 3) The electronics is difficult to set, and without an extra thermometer, you simply wouldn't know the temp.

Its not often that when comparing new technology with old, and you find the old is a clear standout. On the positive side, it looks nice and there is a small water filter inside that has easy access. I gave up a working refrigerator with cold water as well as crushed ice or cubes through the door. Fearing my old refrigerator was nearing its useful life, I bought this sorry ice box.

Guaranteed to disappoint.

Overall this fridge looks great and has performed well (I've had it about a month). I do have some complaints though. If you are constrained to 30 inches, I think it's a great contender, but if not, look for something else.

On the plus side, you get benefits of a French Door fridge in a 30 inch space, including

eye-level refrigerator compartment

better energy efficiency due to the door configuration

through the door water dispenser

more attractive styling (in my opinion)

In addition, it has good, modern fridge features like LED lighting, a shelf with a sliding part that can be moved away to accommodate taller items from the shelf below, an air filter that controls odors (no more baking soda!), moisture control (basically a heater which evaporates condensation on the door seal), humidity-controlled drawers, and some other things. Nothing unique or outstanding, but I'm glad it has them.

However, there are a number of things I'm not thrilled about:

Fridge space. I still can't get as much stuff in this unit as in my old top-freezer model, despite that they are both approximately the same advertised cubic feet. I'm sure this is partially because I have not yet figured out the optimal way to utilize the space, but there is also a significant gap between the front of the main shelves, and the door compartments (when closed). In my opinion, the shelves should be an inch or two longer so you could this space.

Freezer space. Same deal here there is nearly a 4 inch gap between the top of the sliding upper freezer shelf, and the the top of the freezer, creating a full cubic foot of difficult-to-use space. If you have a single tall item, you can put it there, but you can't pile multiple things all the way up, because the shelf's back does not come up that high so things will fall off, requiring you to squat down and retrieve them before you can close the freezer. Also, the ice-maker bucket is stupidly large given the size of this fridge. It's literally twice as big as it needs to be about 20% of the total freezer space. I'd much prefer to have half as much ice and 10% more space for food.

Water temperature. The water tubing that leads from the cool water in the reservoir to the dispenser is outside the fridge on the back, So the water in the tubing warms up to room temp as it sits there. Thus the first cup of water is warm to cool-ish depending on the size of your cup, and then the second cup is then colder. Whirlpool suggests discarding the first cup of water. Not only is this very wasteful, but it also take a long time since water already comes out relatively slowly from fridge dispensers (due to the 1/4" piping). Better to use some of that excessive ice in the freezer to cool down the first cup!

no butter compartment

the lighting strip has a bulge in the front, which blocks access to stuff in the center of the top shelf, making them hard to reach.

That said, these faults are all things I can live with and I do not regret the purchase. More than anything I wish I had more than 30 inches of width in my kitchen so I had more fridge choices!

PUR W10186668 Whirlpool Quarter Turn Refrigerator Water Filter

PUR W10186668 Whirlpool Quarter Turn Refrigerator Water FilterThis is advertised as a "Whirlpool" 1/4 turn filter but it fits all 1/4 turn filters including Kenmore side-by-side models. I have been paying $30+ for Kenmore's 9010 filter and this filter is an exact replacement.

Is a less expensive replacement for whirlpool filter #4396510 and appears to filter the same contaminants.

Original Whirlpool filter label claims: NSF/ANSI Certified against standard 42 for Chlorine taste & odor; particulate reduction class 1; certified against ANSI standard 53 for Lead, Mercury, Benzene, p-Dichlor., Toxaphene 2, Asbestos, Cysts, Turbidity, & Altrazine.

PUR replacement filter label claims: tested and certified against standard #42 and #53. Carton specifically mentions Chlorine taste/odor, Lead, Sediment, p-Dichlor., Benzene.

I'm always a little afraid to order substitute brands, but the price and the picture of the Pur Filter product gave me a little more confidence to give it a try. It took a little long to get delivered than I expected, but once here it fit my Kitchenaid Side-By-Side Refrigerator perfectly and was easy to install. Would recommend this replacement product to others.

I went out on a limb, trying to see if this would replace 5231JA2006A. It didn't. Hopefully this answers your question.LG 5231JA2006A Water Filter

Want PUR W10186668 Whirlpool Quarter Turn Refrigerator Water Filter Discount?

Unlike the review below that states "Fits all Quarter turn refridgerators", this filter DOES NOT FIT LG Refridgerators quarter turn. The filter is too short and the connection head is too big.

Luckily Amazon was awesome enough to refund me, and I am stuck buying the expensive manufacture brand.

The pur filter is great in price and researched function though....
