Frigidaire FPHN2899L Energy Star 27.8 Cubic Foot French Door Refrigerator with SpaceWise

• FPHN2899LF

We were looking for a full-featured refrigerator, but don't like the water and ice dispensers common at this level. This refrigerator freezer has all the nice amenities glass shelves, digital controls, stainless, ice maker and water filter. But it doesn't have the messy water and ice dispenser.

Vinotemp VT-6TED-WB 6 Bottle Wall-Mounted Thermoelectric Wine Cooler, Black

• Thermoelectric technology
• Easy-to-use touch screen temperature control and digital temperature display
• Temperature range of 45-68-degree fahrenheit
• Efficient thermoelectric technology

I know the kitchen is the most probable place for this unit but I had a better idea. I wanted to be able to have a freezer that was unique for my media room upstairs. I have a 1 and 1/2 story home and the media room plus a bathroom is the only room upstairs. in the bathroom was a door to the attic where I have a 28 can soda and beverage freezer, but what if someone was actually using the bathroom when people wanted something to drink? I'd have to go downstairs into the kitchen, which is not something you want to do in the middle of a nice movie or something. So I installed this unit on one of my walls and it's just great! Aside from the fact that you can store 6 bottles of wine, I also have (from time to time) placed 12 bottles (2 on each shelf) of beer or 12 cans of beer instead! Love this thing and yes it sticks out about 8 inches from the wall but you don't even think about that when it comes to it's effectiveness because even with only 8 inches from the wall the unit seems like it's a part of the wall! Awesome and I'm glad I found it. Here on Amazon.com it costs way less than elsewhere, I'm loving this thing!

Mini Fridge, X-treme Geek USB

• USB Powered Fridge
• Works on All Platforms
• Stores & Chills one 8oz Can of Soda or Juice!

If you spend any time sitting in front of a computer, the idea of USB powered mini fridge probably has some appeal to you, especially if you are far from a regular refrigerator and a plug-in-the-wall Mini Fridge is for some reason not an option for you. No doubt the thirst-suffering keyboard-slave inventors of this little item thought they had an instant winner on their hands, but they were done in by cheap materials and science.

The science problem is worth dwelling upon; the sad truth is that hot plates will ALWAYS work MUCH better than cooling plates for a reason in addition to the fact that hot plates can make use of the waste heat from electrical resistance (either directly or as a byproduct of the Peltier effect) while cooling plates must dissipate it:

convection.

Hotter fluids rise and colder fluids fall, thus a container of any liquid placed upon a hot plate will quickly become uniformly heated while a similar container of liquid placed upon a cooling plate will get as cold as it is ever going to get at the bottom while the upper layers won't cool much at all. That's why the instructions for this item say to use 8 ounce soda pop cans even though the product was obviously originally designed for 12 ounce soda pop cans; doing so removes what will always be the warmest 1/3rd of a 12 ounce soda pop can.

It is no accident in my opinion that later (?) models of this product Portable USB Cooler and Warmer 2-in-1 come with a switch so it can be used as a hot plate as well, which function can at least be presumed to work.

There ARE ways to fight this, but doing so would require spending more on materials. aries2110, one of the top reviewers of this version of the product: Dream Cheeky USB Fridge shows what might have been by installing a stronger fan (for dissipating waste heat) and taping some insulation to the inside, reporting a significant increase in cooling. The less handy can try setting it in front of a desk fan and putting a can insulator upside down on the can. I also noted some additional cooling but nothing approaching "refrigerator cold".

Basically, about all it is good for IMHO is SLOWING the warming up of a previously refrigerated can of soda pop more than just setting it on your desk will. I picked mine up on clearance, and I suggest you do the same,...

if you even want to bother with it.

I too bought this item from another dealer for $100 more in price and am having the same experience. The concept was just what I was looking for, but there is absolutely no quality to the product. My problem started with the upper shelves not fitting properly and the temperature never going as low as I wanted for white wines. I called Haier and they sent out a technican who opened the door, took one look, and told me the insulation was blown out and the unit was not repairable. He then proceeded to tell me of all the problems I would encounter in trying to get a refund. Well, he was right! It's amazing how many faxes and emails can simply get lost at Haier America over a two month period. I am now in my 30 day wait for a refund after refusing an exchange. I will never buy another Haier product . . . a Korean product made in China.

Update Nov 8, 2007: I just received my refund check minus 10% for using the cooler. I called Haier and asked how I could "use" a product that had no insulutation. I now have to wait another 4 6 weeks to receive the balance of my refund. . .

I bought this at Fry's for $299. At first I was pleased with the product. About 1 month later the fun began. The bottom portion no longer maintained temperature. I called and was surprised when they sent a technician to my house within 2 weeks. The technician said the cooling unit was bad. He ordered the unit and scheduled a follow-up appointment for two weeks from that day. I could elaborate but I will say that the part never came. About 6 weeks later I called Haier, who said it could take up to 90 days to receive the back-ordered part. When 90 days was up, I called Haier again and they initiated an exchange. In short the exchange took another 2 months. I received the replacement unit 6 months after I bought the original unit and 5 months after the original unit ceased functioning. I've had the second unit for a little over 1 month and now it will not maintain temperature. I've been on the phone with Haier for over an hour, trying to get a refund. Please pray for me. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the shelves are too narrow for their slots! Instead of wine bottles sitting on the shelves, the shelves become part of the stack of wine bottles starting on the floor of the unit. When I want to get a bottle out from the middle of the stack I have to disassemble the entire stack. This is a horrible, awful, hideous product. It is now 8 months after my original purchase and I've been through 2 units that each worked for 1 month. I'm afraid this will continue until the warranty expires, at which point I'll purchase a unit from a reputable company.

I bought this wine cooler and it was never right from the start. It had wiring problems, and the parts were not available. After a month of trying to get it fixed, the company shipped 2 replacements to me (over 2 more months), both of which were damaged at the factory. Four months later I still do not have a working wine cooler. I have applied for a refund, which they tell me will take another month. More junk made in China!!

We have had several problems with this wine fridge.

The fans for the upper compartment (white wines) regularly seize when too much ice builds up behind them. Since the fans aren't running, the compartment (and wine) warm up. To get rid of the ice you have to unplug the unit, which causes all of the wines to warm up. Thus some of the wines we've wanted to save have both 1) gotten too warm; and 2) been through several temperature cycles.

The cooling unit for the lower compartment has now completely given up. The fans seem to work but with a temperature set point of 58 deg F it isn't keeping the temperature below room temperature.

Haier's only troubleshooting advice is to make sure the fridge is level and that the door is well-sealed. It is on both counts.

We're now looking for a new wine fridge, and it will not be a Haier!

The filters are much less expensive than ordering from Samsung or where I bought my fridge & they appear to work just as good. The product arrived on time, packaged well and was what I expected. I will order from this seller again.

To the person who gave it 2 Stars because it did not reset the filter. YOU have to do that. You press and hold the filter reset button for about 5 seconds.

• Integrated application
• Fan forced cooling system
• Temperature range 4C - 18C (39F - 64F)
• Tempered glass door with stainless steel frame and handle

This fridge looks great, and it is the right size for under the counter in our kitchen, we bought it to keep all the drinks out of the big fridge.... but man! It drives us crazy constantly turning on and off, literally 10 times a minute. We have tried turning the temp up and keeping it full, but to no avail. It is really noticeable and bothersome in the quiet moments of the morning and evening...just when you want to relax and enjoy your kitchen. It's almost like it's breathing and straining. We are bummed about it.

This is a beautiful bev fridge that looks sleek and modern in our new wetbar. The blue light definitely has the "wow" factor and it does not warm the fridge like a traditional bulb can. The temperature is holding true at 39 degrees (which is the lowest setting since it is really the wine fridge with different shelves). It does exactly as promised and looks amazing doing it.

We had the Silhouette less than a year when it started getting loud and would no longer hold it's temperature. We called for warranty service but because it was a new home and it had been in the home 6 months longer, Danby wouldn't cover it. We had the builder's receipt and the house purchase info but they didn't care. I pulled it out of the cabinet just to check that it perhaps didn't have some simple problem like an air obstruction on the fan. It was extremely hot on the outside. No obstruction found. It did however proudly proclaim the city in China where it was manufactured.

Given the reviews here I can't see putting any money into this. I'll think I will look for another manufacturer.

In the 3 1/2 years I owned this cooler it failed two times. Once, in the first year and a half it needed a compressor replaced and this was done under warranty. At the 3 1/2 year mark, it did it again and this time I got a pro rata payment which ended up being 1/3 of the cost of a new beverage center. Two total failures in this short of time is not impressive and I am left with a small amount of money in which to buy a new unit. Customer Service is not helpful ignoring my request to reconsider their "settlement" based on their warranty. I don't recommend buying this beverage center for the reasons stated as well as the fact that it never cooled very well and runs a circulating motor every 10 seconds. Not a good choice!

Three Evaporators replaced in 2.5 years. Total Junk. Four months prior to the manufacturer warranty expired and it failed. Evaporator replaced. Six months later under a service contract, it failed again. One week after receiving it back, failed again. I'm convinced that the service companies are milking the service contract for low hanging fruit on this product, but aren't actually finding the real leak. Danby all but said, sorry about your luck and were no help. I don't recommend this product or any purchase of a Danby product as a result. This thing has been a total lemon. It's currently unplugged and awaiting yet another repair under the service contract. I plan to replace it with another name brand product.
