I switched to this finer filter to protect the drip irrigation system from the sand the well pump brings up. The heavy stuff, which is way less now that the well is 'broken in' spins down to the bottom and the filter catches the fine stuff. It seems to 'drop off' the filter when the pump cycles, so I hardly have to remove and clean the filter. It does start to grow algae after a few months, so that's when I clean it. Great product.
Was the wrong size, so I am returning it. Not really deserving a single star, but there is no option to convey error.
I have a water filter that I thought this would work for made by the same company. I had to make a slight modification but I got it to work eventually.
I thought that this would be a good gift for my brother-in-law's home office. He always likes a cool drink at hand. First of all I didn't particularly care about the condition when it arrived. It definitely didn't look new with a number of fingernail scratches on the top in the handle area although the box it came in seemed unmolested and the packing seemed original. The black finish also looked hazy. This product is also billed as an "office" cooler but the inside caution sheet said that it had to be turned off after a few hours "or damage will occur". Their description here at Amazon says 10 hours but I don't recall seeing that when I ordered this as a Christmas gift. So you have to babysit this thing all day to make sure it doesn't die? Not much of a "office" cooler. It is also a bit noisy with the fan in the back being loud. It uses the same fan as your average computer case so you'd think it would be about as loud as that. But it's louder.
Overall, I wouldn't do this product again for what I intended, keeping drinks cool at the office. Maybe for the car or something but it's really kind of stupid design for that use.
Unbelievable. My wife and I needed something on the same floor as our baby's room. And then after about 3 months of use, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! We had a dinner party and I smelled smoke! It was just about to burst into flames and I caught it. It made some kind of high-pitched buzzing noise and then lit up like a fuse. Good thing it was 6P in the afternoon! Craziness. And the sh-t is made in China, so good luck getting a refund.
They don't make it very clear, but there IS a time limit on this mini fridge. It says in Amazon's listing that you can't run it for more than 10 hours or "damage may occur." It should be made more obvious in the packaging and labeling that you can only use it for short times. I think 10 hours is being generous, since performance seems to slow earlier than that. Works okay for very short times, but that's all.
Although it is exactly the size as advertised, I was a bit surprised at how small it was. I wanted something a bit bigger. However, I am finding I prefer its small stature. It is perfect for use in my office as it fits nearly anywhere and also great for travel, which I do quite frequently. It keeps my son's milk cold enough, which is why I purchased it. I have not yet used the heating feature. Just be careful: the black box on the cord can get hot.
I needed something small to keep a few things chilled while at work. Without wanting to make the trek to the kitchen at the other end of the bldg., I am able to keep this in my cubicle overhead bin. I can fit a couple of soda's, sandwich, yogurt etc. cold. It's very convenient!
Few days back I ordered this product; and it was delivered in 3-4days. The installation was super easy with the given instructions. Planning to order the same in few months again!!
The only reason I am not giving 5/5 is due to missing instructions for turning off "Change Filter" light; I found these instructions on some blog. For MayTag refrigerator, the light can be turned off by holding "Light"+"Lock" pads on the door until the "Change Filter" light blinks (approx 4-5 seconds).
My original filter was a UKF7002 and locked with a click when in place. This is the replacement UKF7003 and while it does fit and seems to have no leaks it does not lock in place when inserted.
This water filter changes easier than the oil filter in your car engine. I was afraid that water would spill as I changed the filter. The old filter counter turned without a drop of water spilled. The new filter went in even easier.
This filer seems to work fine. I think I noticed the water had a bit of different taste, but it could very well have been my imagination.
This filter is a bit smaller than the original Maytag filter and smaller than the Brita filter I ordered through amazon.com last year. These were both 1 year filters and I am a bit disappointed that this is rater for 6 months.
I paid about $25.00 for the Brita a year ago and now see it is $38.00. Is there a water filter shortage I am not aware of?
Anyway, look at the Brita MYRF-100 Refrigerator Replacement Filter filter for a few dollars more and rated to last a year.

I bought this refrigerator in April of 2011 for a new home we purchased. The refrigerator and freezer section seems to be ok, but the ice maker was less than stellar from the beginning. At 6 months the ice maker started to make strange grinding noises and was very loud. It stopped working altogether and I called for service. Fridigaire was less than cooperative in supplying me with a service person in my area and were generally rude. The ice maker started to work again after I shut if off, cleaned out the ice tray, and let it defrost for a while. It worked at varying levels until June 2012 when it gave up all together. Fridigaire is owned by Electrolux. There is currently a class action lawsuit against Electrolux for a defective ice maker of similar design and using common parts. I am currently working on expanding this class action lawsuit to include the FGHB2844LF4 FRIDIGAIRE. I will update this review when I have more information. Meanwhile, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT OR ONE SIMILAR.
We've had this model since October 2010 and in that time we've had 4 service calls on it, each one resulting in multiple trips by a technician. Every technician complained what a poor design this ice maker is--"you can't make ice in a refrigerator." Either it stopped making ice or it froze up so bad it took days to thaw out. The 3rd call was placed 9 days after the one year warranty expired, so Frigidaire denied the replacement. I complained enough and they did extend the warranty for another year at least. This last call is going on 2 months since it stopped working. In that time the technician has been out 6 times and it's still not fixed. The Techline is telling him to replace the control board--again! This makes the 4th one. I've contacted the store where I bought it to see if they can intervene on our behalf. Frigidaire customer service has not been helpful. It's really too bad because I love the fridge otherwise. It's great having the large shelves and drawers. This was our first ice/water dispenser so we're really disappointed. It's really turned me off to Frigidaire.
This model looks nice and has good space however the ice maker in this unit is horrible. It worked fine for about 1 year then shot craps. We had 7-8 repair visits and after throwing part after part at it we are having to replace the unit (luckily under an extended warranty). The different techs that came out said it was a new design and is very complicated with many moving parts. The design was discontinued by Fridgidaire after this one model year.
I will not buy Fridgidaire ever again nor would I recommend it to anyone. They should have "taken this on the chin" and issued a recall on this unit. Since they chose to bury their heads in the sand I will never knowingly spend another penny on anything Fridgidaire.
I did not buy this refrigerator from Amazon, but I want to reiterate some of the other reviews here. I've had the same issue with the ice maker. I bought this refrigerator in September 2011. First, in January I think, it started leaking water through the ice and water dispenser on the door. I now have to keep a sponge under the opening so water isn't all over the place. Second, it stopped making ice. It appears that the leaking is causing the water to pool at the bottom of the ice holder. This causes the thingamajig not to turn, and it stops making ice.
I called Frigidaire customer service. They gave the names of two companies that service their appliances. The first one told me they "don't do warranty work" and hung up on me. The second one sent someone who said I needed a part that he didn't have... still waiting to hear back from him weeks later.
I also bought a Frigidaire washer and dryer when I bought this appliance. I'm having issues with those too. If I had it to do over again, they wouldn't get a dime of my money...

I'm not sure if we were lucky or they worked on issues mentioned. We've had our fridge since May 2012. It was a scratch/dent model but the dent was in the back.
About six month ago we had a hole in the water hose in back but it was so small we never noticed. We called and had a service person out within the week. I don't think this was a manufacture defect but possibly related to the storage issue at the store.
Just recently our filter finally said we should order a new one.
For the price ($1300-discounted) this was perfect for us.
I ordered this shelf because the new Maytag fridge we just purchased didn't have enough of them. It is just like the shelves that came with the fridge. Looks the same and fits perfectly. Now installed, you can't tell the difference between this one and the originals.
I have searched for a replacement shelf for my Whirlpool Refrigerator and all I could find was very costly. This was a great buy and the description allowed me to order without worrying it would not work.
I didn't bother with the door handle. It looked like it would come off too easily. But it opens just fine by grabbing the top. Where I have this, it actually works better to not have the handle.
While it was getting to temperature the fans were noisy, but it is now quiet. I actually had to read the instructions for how to set the temperature so it's not quite as intuitive as I like, but heh, I guess 3 minutes to absorb up from down is not too bad.
I love having wine at the perfect temperature. No more too cold white or too warm red. I buy wines to consume, not to preserve, so this works just right for me. I was happy to find a wine cooler just the right size for the space I wanted it in.
The back of the unit makes some of the spaces shorter. I have smaller desert bottles in those spaces. You just have to experiment with what fits where. Too bad champagne bottles don't fit, but I knew that going in.
I highly recommend this cooler for the casual consumer of wine.
I had been looking for a wine fridge for awhile. I had two specific requirements, it had to have dual temperature zones and fit at least a case of wine. This one was perfect. I have had it for two months now and it has held its temperature perfectly. It's really quiet and fits pretty much any size bottle, except magnums. The only complaint I have is the digital numbers on the front illuminate my living room when all the lights are off. I would defintley recommend this fridge, especially for a first one.
I love my new wine cooler. It is quiet, attractive and chills my wine perfectly. The size is perfect for my limited space needs. Thanks for the prompt delivery.
Unfortunately this is only an average Wine Cooler. The main reason is how quickly it changes fan speed. If it was more gradual it would be less noticable and not as annoying. As it is the change is drastic and each time it happens you will take notice.
Only recommended if you are going to keep it in a room which no one uses on a day to day basis.
It also cannot accomodate all my wines in the "correct" position and I have to put them on a diagonal taking 3 places instead of one.

Not the quietest fridge but I don't have it where it bothers me. The only thing that would be better is if the duel zones were switched as the top is the section that gets the coldest so I can only put 6 whites in which I drink more of then the red. (Oh well, I have to fill it more often!) But that wasn't noted in the write-up of the product. The tall white 'Riesling' bottles also don't fit!
Fits perfectly and is the exact same as the one that came with our refrigerator. We have Whirlpool Gold model GI5FSAXVY01. It was a better price than I had found on external sites that I looked at.
I broke the original part on my fridge and bought this as a replacement. It was a perfect match and fit right into place.
I switched to this finer filter to protect the drip irrigation system from the sand the well pump brings up. The heavy stuff, which is way less now that the well is 'broken in' spins down to the bottom and the filter catches the fine stuff. It seems to 'drop off' the filter when the pump cycles, so I hardly have to remove and clean the filter. It does start to grow algae after a few months, so that's when I clean it. Great product.
