Refrigerator has clean lines and is very quiet. My only complaint is that the freezer is smaller than I had anticipated. Even removing the ice maker we don't have room for our basic needs. Other that that, no complaints.

CoolBot Walk-In Cooler Controller for window air conditioner

CoolBot Walk-In Cooler Controller for window air conditionerRobert@ Three Boys Farms gives a good overview on the Coolbot. I use the coolbot in my coolroom to keep grapes around 39 degrees F. before I crush. What I have to offer in terms of a review is a demystification of the product for any potential user that would like to know exactly how it works. To begin, it doesn't 'turbo-charge' your air-conditioner. This is largely hyperbole. There is definitely no magic involved.

The Coolbot consists of three probes, a thermometer, a temperature probe, and a heater probe all leading back into a single well sealed package. Here is how it works. After removing the grill from the AC unit you will locate the thermostatic sensor which is affixed to the cooling fins of the AC unit. This temperature sensor is naturally responsible for cycling the AC unit on and off. You will now take the AC's temperature probe and place it in contact with (secure beside) the Coolbot heater probe. The second probe on the Coolbot is a temperature sensor which is placed in the fins of the AC unit approximately where you removed the AC temp. probe.

The heater probe on the Coolbot is in direct contact with the AC's thermostat. The Coolbot heater probe simply heats up the AC's thermostat thereby causing the AC unit to sense a warmer temperature than what actually exists in the cool room. The second probe of the coolbot monitors the temperature of the AC fins so that the Unit doesn't ice up. Ron has taken an extremely simple concept, one that isn't wholly original and created an excellent, dependable, durable and vastly overpriced product that will do exactly what it warrants. I am very pleased with its performance.

Like Most intelligent farmers necessity and budget are always in play. The need for a commercially available refrigeration unit is part of all farms cool down and storage requirements, yet the availability of affordable

equipment to small farms does not exist, unless it is taken back to the purest form of design and function.

What Ron has done here is recognized that the limits imposed by residential A/C unit manufactures, specifically the

restriction of low temperatures by thermostatic control, can be manipulated. In designing the Cool-Bot he did several things;

1. energy conservation, large commercial units are power hogs,typically three phase 400-600 amps, and they are an antiquated, inefficient method of cooling, specifically taking copious volumes of cold air and moving it into a space that is usually poorly designed and has huge air leaks, the net result is waste, both in terms of energy, and product stored as air mass on leafy greens desiccates and wilts foliage, so unless your stored product is potatoes, you want coiling without excessive moisture robbing air mass. Cool-Bot delivers through your Energy Star unit, cold air without damaging the crop, and saves big money in energy costs, and efficiency.

2. Back up, when your space requires multiple units to achieve the desired level of cooling needed, you simply run more window units, again the often overlooked benefit here is the built in back up. If your commercial unit goes down, your product temps go up and spoil. The repair cost is high, and you still have one unit. With multiple Cool-Bots, you have an emergency back up in place, if a unit went down, the others can maintain temps for that period while you replaced that A/C unit, and since it has not been modified whatsoever, it is under a factory warranty. Now you have continued cooling during the repair or change out, something not offered by commercial refrigeration, with them your down, and your out.

3. Seasonal change. During cooler periods of the year with a multiple unit cooler you have the option of shutting down several of the A/C units for additional energy savings, with the big units, its on or off. So it is time to ask yourself, who brings the best things to life? not just those guys, but us farmers, we feed you, and increase your health with safe local foods, and design and build products that are frugal, and efficient. The highest praise a farmer or designer can receive is from his peers, and I highly recommend Cool-Bot to anyone, for a multitude of purposes. It is the only intelligent choice for efficient energy conscious cooling, and the only choice for 3 Boys Farm, a 365, 24/7 large grower of hydroponic and organic produce. Way to go Ron!

I have had a Coolbot in place about a month now. I am extremely pleased with its performance...It keeps my 6'X 9' walk in cooler at an average temperature of 38 F. Great product and a great savings (about 1/6th the cost) over installing a 2 part commercial refridgeration unit

Thanks Ron...nice unit...keep up the good work.

7.5 CF Two Door Apartment Size Refrigerator

7.5 CF Two Door Apartment Size RefrigeratorPurchased this fridge as it was one of the smaller "full-size" fridges I could find for a studio apartment. After thirteen months it died. Called Avanti and not only were they unwilling to do anything in terms of making it right, but they couldn't even give me the name of a repair outfit in NYC. Based on my experience I won't ever purchase another Avanti product.

PS: Just had another Avanti fridge die that I had purchased for another apartment four years ago. Four years is certainly better than 13 months but it's still fairly pathetic. A fridge used to last 15 years no problem...

I bought this Avanti model in February 2012. The fourth service rep. just left. First, water leaked into the veg. bin (two service calls to fix that), next, the frost free freezer started frosting up (service call number 3 needed new gasket), then the next day the fridge part stopped working.

Service rep number 4 has justed installed a new gasket and informed me that (1) I shouldn't open my freezer for four hours (I can live with that.) and (2) all I need to do is unplug the entire unit for 24 hours to restart the fridge. He could not tell what I could do with the $100. plus worth of food in my freezer while the fridge was unplugged. Calls to Avanti were useless. Their best offer was a new gasket, and a request to speak with a supervisor left me speaking with an answering machine. No response after 3 weeks. The last service rep advised me to invest in an extended warranty. What does that tell you? This product is garbage and the people who stand behind it basically don't. I can't say enough bad things about this product. Buyer beware.

Maytag MFF2055YEM 19.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Maytag MFF2055YEM 19.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • 2 Shelves
  • 6 Door Bins
  • Temperature Controlled Pantry
  • Humidity Crispers
  • Water Filter

Yes it is quiet. But the reliability is poor.

Maytag products feature parts that fail faster than light bulbs. You won't have to change the light bulbs inside this fridge because the switches will fail first, or else the circuit boards. Expect to pay for this refrigerator a second time in repair bills. Maytag does not provide any service information so that you can swap out something simple like a door switch. Onsite repairs by service techs will cost you hundreds of dollars for $25 parts. I'm an electrical engineer and all I need is a service manual and I could fix this machine myself. Maytag won't provide me with any support. Their attitude is to screw you and make it as painful as possible.

I will never buy a Maytag product again. Don't make the mistake I made. Choose a competing product with good reviews.

If you have tight space restrictions, this is your refrigerator. I also didn't want door dispensers, but still an automatic ice maker, and this fit the bill. So far very nice and quiet. A huge improvement from the builder model we spent 15 years praying would die!

Vinotemp VT-16TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 16-Bottle Wine Chiller, Black and Stainless

Vinotemp VT-16TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 16-Bottle Wine Chiller, Black and Stainless
  • Freestanding digital wine chiller keeps up to 16 bottles properly chilled
  • Thermo-electric cooling system protects wine from unnecessary vibration
  • Ultra-quiet operation; does not use ozone-depleting chemicals
  • Energy-efficient dual-paned glass door; 3 pull-out shelves included
  • Measures 20-3/4 by 17-1/8 by 20-1/8 inches; 1-year limited warranty

I guess I was lucky compared to others, I got 18 months out of it. The temp display went out and I had the ticking noise that other reviews mentioned. It could not handle a warmer room (couldn't keep the temp I had set it at) but simply moving elsewhere solved the problem. I'm glad I got it on clearance and only spent $50, but I don't recommend it at any other price. I wonder if ANY of the smaller free standing units last, at least one that is affordable. Seems like most reviews complain they only last 6-18 months.

Bought this Vinotemp wine fridge because of low price. Promply died 4 months after warranty expired. Read other reviews please. Also Thermo-Electric cooling is not like real fridge. If your house is 75-80 degrees in summer this thing will almost blow up trying to get to 65-70 even though it is set on 55. Do not buy this fridge or any one like it.

My father, brother, and I all purchased this item at the same time and each and every one of ours broke down within a month of each other (around the 1 year mark). Each unit stopped cooling and/or the control board stopped and the digital temperature would not display. When it did work, the temperature fluctuated so much and was so inconsistent. I would not recommend purchasing this product unless you plan on putting it by the curbside about a year after wasting your money on it. It's quite evident that this is a poor manufacturer after seeing other reviews with the same issues.

Works (and has worked) perfectly on our kitchen counter we receive many compliments on the unit and have purchased it for others as wedding gifts. I definitely recommend this unit it's a great way to simplify wine storage in the kitchen w/out complication.

I was given mine as a gift. The fan was a bit loud and ran constantly so I unplugged it until I would need the wine chilled. When I did finally plug it in, we later found the glass cracked leaving a mosiac pattern throughout the entire window. Within a few months, the unit stopped working altogether. For the high price being charged, it's just not worth it. I would say it's worth maybe $60 at most given the short life span.

Kitchen Aid Architect II 24 In. Stainless Steel Built-In Double Drawer Refrigerator - KDDC24CVS

Kitchen Aid Architect II 24 In. Stainless Steel Built-In Double Drawer Refrigerator - KDDC24CVSWe just purchased this refrigerator/freezer. The design seems very nice and practical, nothing bad to say about that. However, the unit is extremely loud. I am twenty five feet away from the refrigerator as I type this review and I can hear the cooling fan clear as a bell. We had a technician check it out and he said that is just the way it is and there was nothing he could do about it. If you do decide to buy this unit, may I suggest you also purchase a good set of ear plugs.

I agree with the other reviewer that this unit is very loud. The inside layout is nice, and it works well, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had known it was this loud.

we've had our unit for over three years and it performs great. the top refrig is handy at the wet bar for drinks and the freezer keeps the ice within reach, too. looks good and everyone complements us on the unit.

Bad design, : We've owned this refrigerator for slightly over three years. In that time, the control board in the top shelf failed twice ( part costs $510), and the wiring to the top drawer (part costs $110) has failed four times. The movement of the top drawer when you open and close it bends it back and forth so it eventually breaks. Two weeks ago the wiring broke again, and then over the weekend the fridge and freezer failed completely (compressor won't run).

Bad customer service: I think Whirlpool should make a fridge that doesn't break, or that at least the repair parts should be cheap (250 feet of the wire used in the $110 top drawer wiring costs $100 online). I called Whirlpool to complain and I was told by the person on the phone that the fridge was "made by humans" and it is so complicated with all the onboard electronics that I should "expect the fridge to break" this frequently, so it was my fault that I didn't buy the extended warranty coverage ($519).

We are going to replace this with another fridge from a different manufacturer.

WF282 Replacement Water Filter

WF282 Replacement Water FilterIt fits into my GE refrigerator and seems to work well. Much cheaper than GE brand. Google it and you will find similar filtration claims for both this one and the GE brand.

Read the directions when you replace it and it won't clog. Directions say to fill with tap water and then insert into refrigerator. Next run 1 2 gallons of water through filter to completely fill it.

This is a filter is a fake! While the description claims it fits my model refrigerator it does not. The threads are completely different so it will not even screw in.

I purchased this filter from a discount filter store on-line. It worked fine for about two weeks and then clogged. I was about to call for repairs on the refrigerator, but instead I replaced it with the genuine GE product and so far no troubles with the GE filter.

Bought three filters to save money. 1 of 3 didn't work. Water went into the filter, but nothing came out. The other two filters fit and worked fine. Bought this to save money. It turns out I didn't save anything. I should have bought GSWF 3 packs.

Take your chances with after market items. Hope it's not Made In China. Oops I just looked at the box and it's Made In China. Great! Now I hope I didn't get poisoned by chemicals.

These water filters are the least expensive filters I have been able to find for my GE refigerator.

It is important to run water from the water dispenser after installing these filters. This will not only ensure that you have properly seated the filter during the installation, but will also clean the excess carbon particles from the water line.

If you don't fully seat the filter no water will flow to your ice maker or water dispenser. (note: it is hard to tighten these filters, but just be persistent) I know this from experience and got lucky because no water was flowing since I had neglected to flush the line after the installation. When I flushed the line after fully seating the filter, it produced black water from the water dispenser until fully flushed. After running a couple glasses from the dispenser everything was running crystal clear. I am very happy that I didn't end up with black ice cubes, because of my original error in not flushing the line after the install.

Bottom line: Excellent replacement for the much more pricey GE original water filters.
