Water Sentinel WSA-1 Replacement Fridge Filter, 3 Pack, Fits Amana Clean 'N Clear Wf40, Wf401

Water Sentinel WSA-1 Replacement Fridge Filter, 3 Pack, Fits Amana Clean 'N Clear Wf40, Wf401
  • Fridge filter to replace Amana Clean 'N Clear

I knew this was a generic, so that didn't bother me. The filters were shipped out quickly and received promptly. The description says these are a match for the Amana 46-9904 filter, which is the one we use in our fridge. However, when we got them, they didn't fit properly and water was spraying everywhere. On the plus side the company gave us no hassle about returning them (except we had to pay shipping back). The company was very responsive and good to work with. So the one star is for the product, not the company.

I purchased these as a replacement for an Amana WF40 filter. This filter WILL fit but it is not easy to install. First of all when you remove the old filter take a look at the top and notice that there are 2 lips that work to hold/tighten the filter into place. Orient the new filters lips in the same way as the old filter when removed. The new filter will require MUCH MORE upward force to catch both lips while installing. Use both hands if you can and force the filter up and turn clockwise simultaneously. If both lips catch, the filter will screw on evenly. If the new filter is going on crooked, STOP, turn it back and try again. It took me 4-5 tries before I could get both lips to catch and get the filter on. I'm a guy with big strong hands and I can see how many folks would not have the patience or the hand strength to install this filter. If you can, it's a great bargain and I will be buying these in the future. I would also note that there is about a 25% reduction in water flow speed with these filters. Not a major issue for me. I flushed the system with 2 gallons before drinking and the taste is now resorted.

These filters are a recent answer to the expense of replacement filters, and they are NOT the answer. My Kenmore takes filter #46-9014, a number clearly marked on the package of the Water Sentinel. And it does not fit. I trued screwing it in for 15 minutes, finally got what I thought was the "sweet spot", and then screwed it in. Upon trying to get water out of the fridge, water sprayed everywhere and did not come out of the spigot. Bad product.

Everyone please note that these are Water Sentinel filters and NOT AMANA as the title suggests. This is very misleading as this is not the Amana brand name replacement as the title implies , but a generic replacement. I did not notice this until I received the product. The picture shows it, but I do not think they should be able to say it in their title and I am going to let Amazon know about this.

Liebherr CS1311: 24" Refrigerator & Freezer

Liebherr CS1311: 24' Refrigerator & FreezerWe got this fridge with our new house that we bought last year. The fridge is 2.7 years old and looks beautiful, both outside and inside. It worked fine and has some nice design features.

So far so good. However, last week it broke (false alarm, temp control issues etc). Liebherr contracts their US service with Adco company in Arizona. They referred me to a local Seattle appliance shop. They diagnosed the main control board as failing & need to replace it. Turns out the part is ~$300 and the warranty is 2 years, i.e. I'm 7 months outside of warranty. Adco/Liebherr refuse to show any flexibility on that even though it's a control board, not a fridge door it shouldn't be failing for years to come.

My local Seattle repair shop orders the part with expedited 3-day air delivery and gets that order confirmed. 7 days later there is no part and the casual statement from Adco that it is not in stock in the US and they have to get it from Germany. No ETA. No apology. No ownership. No solution. Not even the offer to call me back and keep me posted just simply dis-interested. Liebherr: Please make this item more reliable. And please fix your US service network.

Update from January 2013 (moving from 1star to 3stars):

After several unsuccessful repair attempts we ended up replacing the fridge. Liebherr has been good to work with on this. I think my final opinion of this fridge is (still not actually knowing what part broke): It's a beautiful piece of high technology. And all its hightech is geared toward energy efficiency which it does really well. But its level of sophistication might make it hard for the average repair shop to diagnose if any issues arise.

166219 Compatible Big Clear 4.5" x 10" Whole House Water Filter by Kem Flow

166219 Compatible Big Clear 4.5' x 10' Whole House Water Filter by Kem FlowI like this case because it is large, so you don't have to replace the filter as often. The clear case makes it possible to see the status of your filter without opening it. The included wrench makes filter replacement easy, without damaging the case. Highly recommended.

GE MSWF SmartWater Interior Refrigerator Water Filter

GE MSWF SmartWater Interior Refrigerator Water FilterI ordered this product because I assumed that there would be two. The picture shows two so you would think two. They only send one. This is definitely a racket. I read the whole item order form and could not find where it shows that there is two so they got me this time. Bastards

BeerTender VB2158001 T-fal Home Beer-Tap System

BeerTender VB2158001 T-fal Home Beer-Tap System
  • Ready indicator light ensure ideal drinking temperature.
  • Removable stainless steel drip tray.
  • Detachable pouring spout for easy cleaning.
  • Detachable tap handle.
  • Lighted On/Off button

I typically am not even a big Heineken fan, but my wife got this for me, and I figured what the heck. The 5L mini-kegs sell for seventeen bucks at my local grocery store, and you throw one in, let it cool overnight and you are good to go! It's not cheaper than buying 'regular' beer cans/bottles but the novelty, convenience, COLDNESS and a great draft pour are why I usually keep a second (or third) mini-keg in a small refrigerator just in case a party breaks out. The only reason this is not a 5-star review is because you can only get Heineken & Heineken Light currently...I hear Newcastle Brown is in some test markets though, so hopefully that will change soon.

First off I will say that I have always wanted one of these but have always cringed at the price tag, now that the price tags have dropped on virtually all the Beertender models I feel this machine is a worthwhile investment. Besides the price drop another noteworthy update to this device is the fact that now other, non Heineken beers are available to be used with these machines, A VERY BIG PLUS. Go to any good beer store and you'll see differing kegs around, they just need to be 5L or lower & pressurized. I've heard here in MI there's even a couple smaller breweries with mini kegs becoming available (BELLS OBERON!). My next point is this, even with the price drop, stick with this unit. It does the same job as the more expensive Krupps models at a quarter the cost. Hey I admit the digital readout, clock and symbols on the Krupps models make the whole unit look more techy and futuristic but in the end they all cool to the same proper level and all dispense brew at its best. I'm not even a big Heineken fan, I always found it to be sort of skunky, but my bud had one of these and when I tried it I was hooked. There's just no substitute for that true Draught taste. Also if you store your keg in the fridge before you drop it in your Beertender it'll be at optimum temp in a couple hours, not overnight. It's one of the greatest new at home bar devices. Many will swear allegiance to the "kegerator" with its added CO2, gauges and tubes but they're just too big and bulky for me & my bar. This thing is perfect for me, drop in keg, attach tube and drink, SWEET! Don't get lazy and not look for deals on these too, I found one locally new, at a chain store for $55, yeah that's right, for that price you can't go wrong.

Amendment 2/10/10: The Bells style kegs, and other kegs that use the "gravity" style spout (stand keg up and open spout at bottom) do not work with these units, MAJOR BUMMER. As previously stated the kegs have to be 5 Liters or less and be pressurized. Although that brands kegs are not compatible, now there are more choices to choose from than just Heinie, although I've found not everywhere sells them.

The novelty of having "draft beer" on my counter has been a nice edition. As some of the other reviewers have said, I am not a Heineken fan (though I am aiming to try Newcastle next) but this system made the experience much more enjoyable. My theory, and I am not alone on this, is that the bottled version is way over carbonated and this system seems to have the right balance.

My biggest complaint is the lack of availability of accessories and beers. In order to extend beyond 6 rounds (which is typically less than a 12 pack of bottles each) I have to order tubes in packs of 6 at $9.45 per pack plus shipping. When you tack that cost on to the mini-keg cost (around $18-$20) your per beer cost has gone up to almost a bar price (ok, maybe at happy hour).

Will I continue to use it? Probably, the "fresh" beer is too enticing.

At the least Heineken should create a larger pack of these things so I don't have to keep adding up my shipping charges.

I got this unit for father's day and really loved it. You can put a warm kegg and it will cool overnight or just set an already cold kegg and be ready to go.

Mine lasted about 14 months and broke, same problem as all other users, it just quit working. I received an extended one time warranty from T-Fal, which was fine, but the company repairing the unit took 3 1/2 months to fix it, absolutely terrible!

After the unit came back it worked for another 12 months and broke again.

Honestly it would be a best seller and a must have if it wasn't for the reliability issues. From what I read it doesn't matter if you have a T-Fal, like in my case, or Krups, both have the same issue and many unsatisfied customers, and the product isn't cheap.

Heineken as such a famous and powerful company should step up to the plate and take the necessary actions to push those manufacturers to make a better product that continuously works, like any refrigerator. Am I asking too much?

Save 7% Off

While I would never advocate disobeying the manufacturers recommendations, I bridled at the cost of replacing the tube with each keg. If you look closely at the attachment to the keg itself, the tube is held in place by three locking portions of the rim. Directly above each, is an open slot. If you put a small screwdriver into the slot and gently pry outward, the lock is released and the tube can easily be removed. There is no way to rinse out the tube, but this has not proven necessary. I have reused the tubes many times.

Danby DCR326BSL 3.1-Cu.Ft. Dual Door Compact Fridge with Freezer, Black/Stainless

Danby DCR326BSL 3.1-Cu.Ft. Dual Door Compact Fridge with Freezer, Black/Stainless
  • 3.1 cu. ft. (88 litres) capacity Refrigerator
  • Independent freezer section; manual defrost
  • Energy star compliant
  • Clear Vegetable Crisper and Cover
  • Tall bottle storage

I use my Danby as my only fridge in a single-person household replacing an old large inefficient full sized fridge/freezer.

My Danby is able to maintain the proper below 40 degrees in the fridge and below 0 degrees in the freezer as mandated by the USDA (US Dept of Agriculture) for safe refrigeration. I am monitoring these temperatures with different thermometers in the fridge and freezer.

The attractive features are properly described in the product description.

This Great Fridge is definitely the Little Fridge that could ...and is doing a job of a Big Fridge in a smaller package.

Bought this one to replace my old Emerson 2-Door Compact Refrigerator (dead after 4 years). The refrigerator section is much colder than the Emerson. When I set the thermostat at 5 (total is 6), the milk I put in the door storage will has some ice in it. The temp of Emerson compact refrigerator is not stable. This one is better, and also quieter. Really love this refrigerator. But the packaging box of Danby is not strong. So make sure the refrigerator is not damaged when you receive the item.

I had purchased a Haier through Amazon and it was noisey then stopped working before 3 months were up. Amazon took it back no problem. So I started looking for another one and found this one. It is whisper quite, medium energy use and have had no problems. I would recommend it.

I had this fridge all through college and it was pretty good. The fridge itself looks really nice and stylish with the stainless steel. I loved having the separate real freezer, which none of the college dorm fridges had. I did run into a problem, where after about a year, the fridge portion started cooling very unevenly. My milk in the door would spoil too quick while items in the back would freeze solid. It worked out okay, but I had to learn where to place certain items in the fridge for best temperature.

I've had this refrigerator about three months and it works fine. However, when moving it, I apparently lifted it by the top and broke a plastic part that connects the top to the unit. Warranty doesn't cover plastic parts after 30 days. They gave me phone number to order replacement parts but I gave up after being on hold for one hour.

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.
