Liebherr 13 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Freestanding Counter Depth Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - CS1311

Liebherr 13 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Freestanding Counter Depth Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - CS1311We have had this fridge for about 4 years and it gets mixed reviews at our house. What is important to understand is that it is designed to have a super-low-energy consumption. It runs at the minimal level required to maintain the set temperature. If you put, for example, leftovers from dinner or a bunch of groceries into the fridge, the warmth of the food will increase the ambient temp and the "warning signal" will start beeping. To avoid the beeping you need to remember to hit the "super-cool" button to tell the fridge (or freezer) to kick into high gear.

The MAJOR problem with this design is that if you forget to hit the "super-cool" button (and you will forget) is that it takes a few HOURS for the ambient temp to rise and the warning beeps to begin. So, if you put leftovers in the fridge at 8:00 at night, the fridge will start beeping at 2:00 in the morning. ARGHHH!! This makes my husband CRAZY. I'm willing to put up with it because I really like the size and simplicity of the overall design and it's basic functionality.

Oh, another problem is the ice maker. The mechanism (housed at the top of the ice bucket) is VERY delicate and breaks easily. Don't get me started on the ice maker.It's a problem. We've had to fix it 3 times in 4 years.

This ranks as one of the worst products we've ever bought.

The finish does not clean, period.We have tried numerous stainless steel cleaners and it just never comes clean.

We contacted the distributor and he told us the finish was only partial, we were expected to finish it with the small 2 oz. bottle they supplied.What the hell is this, ridiculous.

We have owned this fridge for awhile now.The lower freezer keeps going into warning mode and does not maintain a constant temperature.

I know it is only a matter of time, very short hopefully, and it will go.

I, having talked my wife into this fridge have taken many reminders not only by looking at the bad finish but from my wife as well.

The money we spent $3,650 could have bought anyone of the major brands.

Save yourself a lot of grief and look elsewhere.

It is truly hard to believe a product of this low quality can survive the German marketplace, maybe that's why they are selling them here.

Whynter WC-16S SNO 16 Bottle Wine Cooler, Platinum with Lock

Whynter WC-16S SNO 16 Bottle Wine Cooler, Platinum with Lock
  • Adjustable thermostat for storing different wine varietals (52F - 64F)
  • Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display
  • Enhanced Blue Light LCD temperature display feature for precise control
  • Cylinder lock and two keys included
  • Solid state components for long life- the only moving parts are fans to circulate cool air within the wine cooler and dissipate heat outside the unit

After reading the mixed reviews I decided to roll the dice and order this item. I could not find a 16 bottle fridge anywhere close the price.

The packaging was excellent, no signs of damage to the box at all (it came from Dallas to San Antonio).

The setup takes minutes. The handle does not come pre-attached but was easy to install. You can use it without. I don't currently have a use for the keys, but once I have children I think it will come in handy.

I read other reviews about it not being able to store white wine, which is not true, wine needs to be stored around 60F to maintain its life. White wine should be "served" at a lower temp which is differant. I don't think its a big deal stick a bottle of white in the kitchen fridge 30 minutes before I start drinking it.

Only had it a week but so far so good, it is very quiet and maintains the temp it is set too.

One thing to note when placing the cooler is to make sure you have the proper clearances to maintain airflow (2" on the sides and 4" at the back). I suspect this may have been a problem people with burned out fans/motors have had. This is not a "built-in" unit.

I bought this specific wine fridge because it has a lock. In order to be a licensed foster home, all of your alcohol must be locked away. It fits 16 bottles very comfortably inside and always shows the inside temperature in a nice blue digital light. I keep mine at the lowest possible, 51 degrees and it only seems to go up if I open the door. I like that there's room on the bottom of the fridge that can fit 6 bottles of beer laying on their side. If you're buying better beer (not miller/coors/bud) this is actually the right temperature to store it. We're brainwashed into thinking beer has to be ice cold, because crap beer does need to be ice cold in order to mask the skunked flavors. Anyway, the fridge also has an inside light you can turn on to display your wines. You have to put the cheap plastic handle on yourself, but I left it off. The lock is kind of a joke. The key is just a pentagon allen wrench. I think if your kid can uncork a bottle of wine, he/she can probably pick this lock with a screwdriver. Remember to keep it a few inches away from the wall on all sides or it won't get the proper air flow and you'll burn the motor out.

We're aspiring but very budget conscious wine "appreciaters". Been slowly working our way up from 2buck chuck many years ago to Willamette Valley and even some interesting Chilean wines. Our 10 year old wine cooler finally had enough abuse and passed away peacefully a week ago and we decided to replace it with a compact countertop unit that would work with our 850 square foot apartment. We were tempted to get one of those very small "microwave looking" 12 bottle coolers but could not bring ourselves to live with something that tacky looking. Finally decided on a 16 bottle and after lots of indecisiveness went with this Whynter 16bottler.

Happy to report that my lovely wife, who is the picky one, was very pleased with the design and finish of this unit. It cools down fast to the the supposedly ideal 58F and maintains the tempreture well. It's a couple of bucks pricier than some others but I'm not complaining. This is working out great for us and would happily recomend it. BTW, Amazon prime is the best thing ever.

Very pleased with the unit. Had a Cuisinart that kicked the bucket after a year and was noisy to boot. This thing is ultra quiet and is terrific so far. Leave the handle off, it looks a lot better without it.

I've had this for more than a year now and it has done its job almost perfectly.Only negative is bottle size issues but almost all coolers have that problem and I just lay them in a different direction.Unit is not too loud and has kept wines at optimum temperature.

i bought this product assuming it was a ge original part as described and as mentioned in other comments. what arrived was name branded " exact replacement" parts. it does work and looks identical but i feel i was mislead and over paid for an aftermarket part. i already installed the part since i needed it badly. i could have gotten a genuine ge part for cheaper but i thought it was to good to be true so spent the extra money thinking i was getting the original ge part, but i didnt. other people say they got the original heater , but i did not.

Very happy! Saved a lot of $ Ordered this part, installed it last evening; the hardest part of the job was defrosting the ice block in the back of my freezer! Everything is working great. Be careful, it's a little bit sharp!

Heater worked as expected and fixed the refridgerator that was not freezing in the freezer section or cooling in the fridge section. I talked to a tech who told me that the fridge section worked off the freezer section. That is why neither was working. When the defrost heater went bad (burned out/open circuit) and frost was all in the back of the freezer, this was the culprit. And while I was in there I replaced the Thermostat that turns it on and off, because it did not check as expected. I am thinking that if the thermostat did not turn the heater off it could have caused it to burn out and since it didn't cost that much, I just replaced them both! Now every is cool or frozen.

Maytag Maxima EcoConserve Series 27 In. White Gas Front Load Dryer - MGD6000XW

Maytag Maxima EcoConserve Series 27 In. White Gas Front Load Dryer - MGD6000XW
  • Maytag(R) Commercial Technology
  • Advanced Moisture Sensing
  • EcoConserve(R)
  • 7.4 Cu. Ft. SuperSize Capacity Plus
  • Auto refresh Steam Cycle

I was initially drawn to this machine by it's looks, but bought it for ease of use. Samsung and LG consistently get high marks but in everyday use they drive me nuts. For those not familiar with the Asian design aesthetic, it basically goes like this: More buttons + more blinking lights + more beeping noises = more better. Well, in the words of Stan Marsh, "I thought this was America!" It is, Stan, and this one is actually made in America too.

The controls are simple, just go from left to right. Set auto or timed mode, modify the default settings if you want, throw in some bonuses (like delay time), and press play. I did not really need to read the instructions to figure it out, and the silly noises can be turned off. This is also the first dryer I have ever used with an automatic dry mode that actually works. Although the modes are a bit goofy, "more dry" equals dry, I'm not sure how you can be more dry than dry but whatever. "Normal dry" equals barely damp, perfect for ironing, and "damp" equals damp for hang drying. It is really nice that the steamer has an actual water line, not just a tray you fill with water like many others.

This is easily the best performing dryer I have ever used. The first time I turned it on it blew decades of old dryer lint out of my 30' long exhaust vent, and it blows out so much steam you could build a sauna around it. This thing dries quickly, usually in 40 mins. And evenly, even fitted sheets are no match. It is also very quiet. The only noise that can be heard is the burner lighting, and that is when standing right next to it.

One final note is a weird warning on page one of the installation manual: "Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire." Now we all know garage floors are no more explosive than regular floors and I am not going to build a stand for it that is 18 inches taller than my washer, but since this little gem is not mentioned in any of the sales info I thought I'd pass it along.

If you are buying this as a set like I did, the features of the washer and dryer to not really match up. The 6000 dryer DOES have a steam cycle and interior light, if you also want that on your washer you will need to step up to the 7000. Also, unlike the washer this dryer DOES NOT come with all of the required connectors. It only comes with the water line, you will need a gas line and exhaust vent. Please don't use a cheap-o flexible vent tube, they reduce efficiency and can create a fire hazard.

LG LT500P-3 Vertical Refrigerator Water Filter, 3 Pack

LG LT500P-3 Vertical Refrigerator Water Filter, 3 Pack
  • Delivers clean, clear water that looks and tastes great
  • Uses revolutionized technology for water filtration, most of the impurities that water has are filtered away
  • Designed to provide up to 6-months of life or 500-gallons
  • Does not remove minerals which may be beneficial to health such as fluoride
  • The materials used in making LG water filters by 3M Purification Inc are top quality materials ensuring that the products last longer

I purchased this 3-pack of water filters and I'm definitely impressed.Perhaps it's the fact that I still had the original water filter from when I purchased my fridge back in October 2010, and the water and ice had a funky bitter taste to it.The funky taste is now gone, and my water and ice have a crisp, clean taste to them.

These new filters cleared that up since new charcoal is always a lot better than old charcoal.

One thing to note is that these filters are not built by LG itself, by by a company authorized/contracted by LG to make these filters, if that matters to you.

While these filters aren't cheap (around $30 a piece), I ultimately decided to go this route rather than have to deal with some other shady vendors on Amazon, specifically a company that sold Swift Green filters for a low price that absolutely did not match the product description that they had on their Amazon webpage (they stated 900 gallons per filter, but it was only 300 gallons per filter).I returned those filters and went with these.

So be aware of the other products out there the marketing for these filters state 6-months or 500 gallons, and that's exactly what's on the box you receive.

These are the genuine LG water filters that you'd buy at the local retail stores but much cheaper.I picked up one of these 6 months ago for $50+tax so buying this 3-pack was basically half-price.The genuine LG water filter does a great job water tastes great, no funky tastes.To me, the water even tastes better than the water I used to buy at the local water mart.

I've been using these filters now for over a year, and they are an excellent low cost replacement filter. The filter was easy to install and works with my refrigerator's change filter indicator light. The outer shell is thinner than higher cost filters, as a cost-savings measure. So you have to be a little careful not to force the filter when you replace it or you might damage it. But you shouldn't force the filter, period, no matter what you buy. I'm very pleased with this purchase and when it comes time to buy more, I will buy more of these.

Having read a few comments on seller who ship Kenmore filter instead, I was quite concern.Although it may work the same, to me WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is important when I buy stuff on-line.

Well, I can tell you that I get what I was looking for.The shipment arrive on the second day.I did compare it side by side to the one that came with my LG fridge, exactly matched.I replace it and run water though as suggested. The water come out clear, clean, odorless and taste good.I have two units to spare, hence I will be a happy customer for at least a good 18 months (this is my first replacement after I get my fridge for almost 2 yrs).

I'll update this again in a few months.

Overall very happy with this product.Replaced a more expensive Sears (Kenmore) brand filter.Fit perfectly.Instructions are a little sparse but then again there's not much to this.Both this brand and the Kenmore brand recommend purging a few gallons of water through the system before use.With the Kenmore filters I don't recall too much debris in the first batch of water.With the Supco filter the first gallon was very cloudy grey.I believe this is loose charcoal from the filter.Either way, the water cleared up very quickly and quality now seems great.Satisfied customer.

Frigidaire PureSource WFCB Water Filter

Frigidaire PureSource WFCB Water Filter
  • Fits most Frigidaire refrigerators made before 2001
  • Replaces Frigidaire part numbers 5303917752, RF-200, RC200, RC-200, RC-101 and Sears Kenmore 46-9906
  • Should be replaced every 6 months

We did not receive the product advertised.

The advertisement states you will receive a "Frigidaire PureSourcePlus Ice & Water Filter (WFCB, 46-9906)". The product did not come in a Frigidaire PureSourcePlus package...just plastic wrap. I installed the filter and the water came out jet black. I ordered two of them so I tried the second filter, and the water was jet black again. This has never happened with Frigidaire filter.

I checked the invoice and it said they are Frigidair WFCB/RC-200 "Compatible" Replacement Regrigeragor Water Filters. If the company is selling a "compatible" filter, and not the manufacturer's filter why does the Amazon site describes and has a picture of the Frigidaire filter?

I e-mailed the company and they replied "Thank you for your order and email. From your description your new filters need to be flushed."

I ended up spending a lot more money and bought a Frigidaire filter but the water now does not taste the same.

This has been my worst online purchase experiences with Amazon.

In addition, while we did not request a refund the company subsequently wrote back and stated that they would credit our account since we were not happy with the purchase.While the company's customer service department was prompt and responsive, the Amazon website description should reflect the item being purchased in order to avoid confusion.

This is not a Frigidaire filter.I asked waterfilteronline and amazon to stop selling this item as a Frigidaire filter.Not only does the picture show a Frigidaire box but the description of the filter states Frigidaire.The filter I ordered did not come in a box nor did it have any certification stamp.These filters will fit in your refrigerator, if you are willing to risk your families health on an unknown manufacturer.In Waterfiltersonline's response, they claim that they have sold thousands of these without any problems.Waterfiltersonline did promptly refund my money but have not stopped selling off brand filters as the real deal and have not removed the picture of the filter that they do not ship.

Item is not a Frigidaire brand filter, as was advertised.At least the receipt acknowledges that it's a "compatible" replacement.It wouldn't be so bad if they had been honest about it.I probably would have bought it anyway.But I resent being deceived.

When you buy this item, make sure you are buying directly from Amazon and not another seller.The filter actually sold by Amazon is the genuine Frigidaire filter and comes in it's proper box.The other sellers are selling knock off filters that may or may not work.

If it says it's being sold by someone other than Amazon, look under the More Buying Choices and select the one from Amazon.com.Amazon will usually choose the cheapest seller for you by default, but in this case, that is NOT what you want.The bad reviews on this item are from people who ended up with knock off filters from non-Amazon sellers.

The advertising and picture are misleading. This is NOT an OEM Frigidaire WFCB as pictured. It is an after-market filter. No idea as to the quality, as there are no ratings on the package. The water quality is important to me or why would I be buying a filter at all. Also, as another customer stated, the water initially comes out black. May just be carbon residue? but I have never seen another filter do that.

In fairness, the seller issued a full refund with no hassle, but the purchase was a complete waste of my time due to Amazon allowing this to be advertised in this manner.

Even worse, after bringing this to an Amazon rep's attention several months ago, they have done NOTHING to change the seller's listing.

Amazon please GET WITH IT, listen to your customer feedback and either correct or REMOVE this item!!!
