Reviews
"My last words to my wife will be, "reduce the number of stars on my water filter review"."
"With this filter installed I had no water at all."
"The price is good and it is supposed to last longer than a regular filter which is what prompted to spend a little extra on this companies model (they have a less expensive regular life filter I was also looking at). I have only had it installed a short time so will see if the change filter light takes longer to come on - even if it doesn't it is still a good value."
"Though the reason we changed the filter (other than the fridge said to) the water pressure in the fridge was noticeably slower and we were just wondering why."
"Was really thinking the ice maker was broken but just as someone suggested it needed a new filter!"
"You will probably have some air pressure that causes cloudy water initially, but that goes away quickly by following this procedure: insert filter, pour water for 8 seconds - pause for 8 seconds, pour again for 8 seconds then wait 8 seconds."
"Exploded in my fridge spraying water everywhere."
"Do not trust to use outside original packaging because it's possibly a return. After that, it produced a steady stream that occasionally stopped for a fraction of a second, and there would also be 4-6 heavy drops after I released the lever."

Reviews
"I previously bought magnetic ones that were narrower which I liked better until the heat made them warp and the magnet separated from the overhang."
"Great solution for keeping the stove area in the kitchen clean! solution to keep the stove and oven area clean."
"The slats seems to mostly protect the area between the stove and the counter (a slight gap at the back where it doesn't lay quite flatly on one of the sides--not sure why the sides fit differently--might be my stove or counters)."
"I purchased these solely based on the positive reviews here on Amazon and I am not disappointed."
"The Capparis Kitchen Silicone Stove Counter Gap Cover is an excellent product. With a great product and excellent customer service, I am totally sold!"
"These are softer and more flexible than the others I've seen before, a factor that I like."
"These are so wonderful--a little longer than our counter, which I can easily trim since they are silicone."
"So far have not seen any warping after cooking with stovetop burners and silicon material sit flat on counter."

GE RPWFE Refrigerator Water Filter
GE SmartWater Refrigerator filter replacement Cartridge. Six-month filter life: For best filtration results, filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or 300 gallons.
Reviews
"So it's not enough that I buy a $2600 refrigerator from GE...they need/want a recurring revenue stream so bad they make me buy their over-priced, proprietary water filter otherwise my fridge glares at me with a red warning message that I cannot get rid of. If GE wants to bully people into buying overpriced water filters that's fine, but when it's time for a new refrigerator they won't be doing it to me."
"Feel like I'm being extorted by GE."
"I am echoing other reviews where the cost of this filter is stupid expensive."
"I have purchased this filter at Lowe's, Home Depot and Amazon, so I know it isn't just a bad batch, but each time, the filter only lasts about 3 months, not the 6 that it advertises."
"Either designation is usable by refrigerator that uses old RPWF but refrigerator that uses RPWFE doesn't use RPWF."
"The filter does not fit my fridge even though the filter currently in the fridge is the same model."
"+1 to all the other anger/ire at GE for their blatant anti-customer approach to these filters."
"The fact that GE sees fit to charge me $50 three times per year for one of their proprietary custom filters after having spent nearly $2,000 for one of their refrigerators tells me that they are OK with corporate rip off and greed."

"My wife and I were getting extremely tired of washing dishes every night. Neither our local Home Depot or Lowes carried anything in the portable variety. More hassle than they are worth… Imagine the headache of rolling a dishwasher out to your sink, hooking it up to a faucet, plugging it in, running the discharge hose into the sink… really??? I went back to search mode and reluctantly bought this SPT getup. The only differences are the additional attachments, wheels on the bottom, counter space on top, cement weight in the rear (to counter balance the weight of dishes on an extended rack), and a power plug. I got rid of all attachments that were unnecessary, placed caster coasters under the wheels, plugged it into a well hidden extension cord and installed lines just like a regular dishwasher. Physics: The discharge pump does not have to fight gravity to make it up to the sink. Pots, pans, ladles, tongs, forks, knives, plates, glasses… stuck on food, dried mac and cheese, greasy pans… ALL CLEAN."
"It had a little trouble with removing peanut butter (because I was sort of terrible about rinsing) and it didn't dry the greatest, but even still I would recommend this to anyone!"
"As an added bonus its on casters so it can roll away when you dont need it and the countertop is great to store your dish gel and rinse aid (I use finish, BTW)."
"So far this has been an awesome dishwasher."
"Just the perfect size dishwasher for our small house."
"It was just as advertised."
"I love this thing!"
"Didn't expect it but, it works like a charm!"

"Just the right side for extra freezer space for my husband and me."
"Does the job and has a temperature control."
"Smaller than I expected when it arrived, but still perfect for what I needed it for."
"Works well."
"It did seem a little larger then the dimensions mentioned in the advertising however, this wasn't any real problem for me as I was easily able to accommodate it. It's easy to close the door within an inch or two of the jamb, but it doesn't really "snap" shut like other appliances do. It is so much easier to use then my new Samsung bottom freezer in which things are always a piled in jumbled mess."
"Perfect size for my small house."
"Great freezer, an upgrade from my smaller 3.8 foot, lots of room and nice compartments for storage of different things."
"The refrigerator arrived undamaged and works well, but the door is mounted crooked."

Best Ice Makers

Opal Nugget Ice Maker
Portability - Compact countertop design plugs into any electrical outlet at home and can come with you to your next camping or tail gaiting extravaganza.
Reviews
"Didn't even get a refill because my ice in my yeti was better than that crap they were selling... 2) I have been walking around randomly saying "Nugget Ice" and smiling... 3) Scared to post on my social media, because I know people will hate me even more for my awesome life. 4) My daughter woke me up this morning and first thing she said was "the ice is full"... A warm glow of happiness washed over my body... 5) I quit drinking beer because it doesn't go with nugget ice."
"I have long been a fan of "chewy ice" or as we called it where I lived in the south "Sonic ice" since only Sonic and hospitals had it. It makes sonic ice. It is not 100% exactly like Sonic's, this is more like pellets, but it has the same mouth feel and chew of Sonic's ice. If you want Sonic ice, this is the only thing sub $1500 that does it. Lastly the smaller ice like this easily outlasts normal cubes and the larger sphere ice by nearly a 2x margin in my "testing" (ie drinking liquor side by side) so far, and that was always how it was in the past with real Sonic ice. It spits out ice pretty quickly as well, with ice coming out within 5-10 minutes and will hold up to 3 lbs in the bin, which also lasts hours before melting. Slow falling white means defrosting whereas faster falling white means making ice, a little confusing. If you are a hard lover of Sonic or "chewy ice" and have the money to spend, this is a wonderful machine and I love the ice it makes!"
"Once cleaned and sterilized it began making ice just fine strongly recommend this product to anyone."
"We've had ours almost a year and it's had to be replaced twice already."
"We love our Opal ice machine!"
"The only issue is the condenser fan is a bit loud when the machine is making ice."
"Had many ice makers."
"We received the icemaker promptly and it appeared to be well packed. Before using it or even plugging it in, when I bean looking at the inside of the icemaker, there were clearly visible lines on the inside from the ice bin drawer sliding in and out."

Enter your model number to make sure this fits. Non-ducted filter - effective non-ducted filtration system removes smoke and odors.
Reviews
"It prevents the steam from escaping all over the kitchen and does a decent job of filtering out odors, however, not as well as a fan that is vented externally but that is to be expected."
"My kitchen is the typical big city teeny kitchen."
"No it doesn’t suck in a lot of air, but it is a ductless vent, so it won’t operate like one that has a duct system."
"Love it!"
"If you do only light cooking this would be nice, but if you cook a lot of different things using a lot of different techniques I would suggest getting a more powerful range hood."
"This is a replacement for the old hood that came with our house."
"Not the most top notch, but for the money this hood works great."
"If I move it to the back burner.... most steam just bounces off the inside of the unit and almost nothing is drawn in by the fan. This fan sucks."

"I purchased this oven based on descent reviews but read a few that made me nervous. The design of this range looks great and is good quality. I had zero problems but I had a professional installer do the job so... maybe that helped? I have zero issues with the oven racks - again I'm not sure what happened for the other reviewer but they are pretty standard - I suppose if you misalign there could be a problem but that would happen in any oven."
"Absolutely LOVE this oven."
"Of course with the price of a Thermador or similar professional range all I could tell her was, "someday." This Thor Kitchen range does not seem to suffer that same loss of cooking power on LP fuel. Awesome job Thor Kitchen, thanks for finally figuring out that average households...with average income want that chunky professional looking range just like you find in home designer magazines!"

Best Washers & Dryers

Haier HLP21N Pulsator 1-Cubic-Foot Portable Washer
ft. washer has 3 electric controlled water levels and 3 wash cycles for the perfect load every time. 3 water levels and 3 wash cycles; electronic controls with LED indicators.
Reviews
"But, the are large jeans and i didnt put the back wheels on so it was unstable. TIP: put all wheels on the bottom, make sure to tighten the connections and you shouldnt have any issues. I've only had to do an extra spin once for a load of towels and pants just so they would dry faster. I use fabric softener on the rinse cycle so my clothes dont dry stiff."
"If you are like me that your kitchen and bathroom faucets are not available to install the provided attachment, you can tap from the shower head instead. 3/4" male to 1/2" female adapter. Amazon link: http://a.co/8vRAZ2K. I attached some pictures which is pretty self explanatory for the install."
"Our apartment doesn't have the room, or the plumbing for a standard clothes washer, so we were delighted to find this compact little unit that could be rolled out when needed, and put back in the closet and out of the way when it's not. You just screw on a base plate, add the caster wheels, stick on the hose and tap connector, and you're ready to go! It has a plate in the bottom of the tub that twists and spins rather than a centre agitator like many machines, so it is much gentler on clothes. Recently I washed a puffy fuzzy bath mat with a rubber backing and found the machine did a great job. Tide Pods are super in this little machine, but liquid and powder cleaning agents also work well. It moved about an inch, and then beeped at me to open the machine and rebalance the load before continuing its cycle. Before buying this washer I looked at a twin tub portable version from another company. I wanted a machine I could put my clothes into and walk away, knowing it was doing all the washing, rinsing and spinning on its own. GREAT FOR YOUR OWN USE OR AS A GIFT TO A NEWLYWED COUPLE OR NEW MOM OR DAD. I highly recommend this portable washer, as it's good value for the price, and fits into our little apartment with ease. They also make good wedding and baby gifts to those like us who have limited space and/or can't hook up full-size appliances. We bought the Haier HLP140E 2-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Tumble Vented Dryer to go with this washer and love it too!"
"One secret to using this that I learned is to turn off the water after the wash water has all flowed in; that way, if you want to put in fabric softener, but you don't want to hang out over the machine, it will make a beeping sound when it needs more water for the rinse cycle and will not continue until you turn the water back on! Otherwise, you can time about 15 minutes for the wash cycle, keep the water on, and hope you don't get involved in anything more important."

Reviews
"The range providers superb control over the flame height in all of the burners. Overall, this range's ability to deliver a consistent distribution and height of flame along with the oven's consistency with how it cooks food on particular settings makes it one of the most delightful ranges I've ever had the pleasure of cooking on."
"Update 7/26/16: Ran it's first self clean cycle (we rarely use the oven itself), and the display won't turn on. It's not really practical to clean burned on food with oil, and sometimes you just have to get out a green scrubby and some barkeepers friend. The only issue I've had with it is the front right burner can sometimes be finicky to light, but it doesn't bother me enough to get it fixed. In my past career, I was a professional chef in elite restaurants, so I have certain expectations with ranges. After much research, and flat out refusal to buy a Wolf, I settled on this for dimension and BTU reasons. I let the grill portion heat up for at least 15 minutes on high and some meat barely sizzled when I applied it. I worry about scratching in the future as I wipe down ranges immediately after use, and that could add to some wear. I might just be excited because I'm back to gas after almost a year of electric coil, but I would even consider replacing my Wolf with it if it came down to that."
"The only cons: the stainless is hard to clean, the grills are super heavy, and the range has black sides (which only show a little bit when installed)."
"Have been using this range at least once a day for the last 3+ months and we are completely pleased!"
"Easy to clean, simple input interface, and looks nice."
"I am enjoying it very much."
"Love my stove!"
"The first set of knobs were breaking away from the metal heavy weight where the screws attach, then next set crack in the center where the knobs slide onto the gas valve controls. Once the knobs crack, it's virtually impossible to control the gas as the metal insert spins around inside. Keep a pair of pliers handy to turn off the gas once all of your knobs crack and you want to cook or turn off your gas."

"They only say how to mount the dryer to the wall (I guess that's an option), but they don't explain how the vent is supposed to work. It's a bit pricier than I would've liked, leading to the minus 1-star, but it's a good product that has met my needs and I'm glad I made the splurge."
"Clothes do take longer to dry being its half the power of a standard 220v dryer. But a longer dry time sure beats going to a laundromat or my building's gross laundry facility down in a dungeness setting in the basement. This dryer is perfect if you live in an apartment with no special venting or electric. I prefer this washer over any other portable washer because it replicates the old school agitator found in the middle of the washer which moves and thoroughly washes the clothes. Being Pandas controls are on the bottom which is perfect if mount on a wall or have a stand. But i dont have dryer stand kind of money so i improvised. Go to ikea and purchase the "Lack" side table it costs $9.99 and raises the dryer off the floor enough to comfortably get clothes out dryer and reach controls with out crawling on the floor."
"It takes a long time but i love my dryer it makes my house smell so good."
"I searched for quite a few dryers similar to this and they are at least 150 dollars more than this one, the Avaya dryer is very similar to this dryer and many of the reviews stated there was a loud screeching noise when they used their dryer, I have not had this problem with the Panda dryer when it is loaded properly, if you overload it, you will get a high pitched noise. The only downside to this review is i havent received my electric bill yet to determine how much this will cost me, but other reviews for the Avaya dryer said it didnt raise it too much, so we will see."

Reviews
"I mostly use the Heavy Duty/Perm Press cycle on Normal and my wash is clean and done in a half hour. There are three timer positions within that cycle which effect how long the wash agitation lasts...Heavy, Normal, Light. On Heavy the wash agitation is around 15 minutes. Using that as a reference the complete cycle time (start to finish) on Heavy is around 37 minutes, Normal is around 31 minutes, Light is around 28 minutes....your times may vary depending on your water pressure and height of tub fill."
"Even when I rented, I had an the old-style agitator washing machine I dragged from apartment to apartment so when I went to buy a new one, I was a little bit unsure because the new HE styles always came with groans and complaints that clothes were never clean and that the machines felt cheap. He said he would be GLAD to sell me the new machine I had selected, but he just wanted to *show* me the Speed Queen. Being in a laundromat gave it a weird connotation, but honestly -- those machines are in absolutely CONSTANT use and this company is able to create a machine that can deal with it, and furthermore, make it their specialty since residential sales are clearly not their strength. I could not find a single place on the international interwebs that said they were a "bad buy". Most of the reviews on the newest designs the big guys were making were negative. That their electronic components were unreliable and often rendered the machine useless when they failed prematurely. It's going to cost you *more* than an entry level HE machine, which is enough to scare most people off. It looks like something you could buy on Craigslist for $50, why should you spend [enter list price here] on it? My friends and coworkers still whine about their HE machines giving out, breaking down, requiring replacement every 5 years. Their white socks look like they ditched shoes for a day and wandered a swamp. I've only had this machine for 6 months, but I know I won't be replacing it in 5 years. My appliance dealer, though, gave me *in writing* that everything is covered for 10 years... except the transmission. Yeah, this washing machine smells like America's heartland... because that's where it came from. I'm giving this Speed Queen a FIVE STAR review because it's unafraid to be unoriginal. It has ONE JOB, cleaning your clothes, your sheets, your curtains, your small areas rugs like it's 1990... and it actually freaking does it right the first time."
"SPEEDQUEEN 432. PROS: HOT' WATER: straight out of the tap and is not diluted by cold water as many new machines today. QUICK 'CYCLE: A Heavy duty hot water cycle is just 30 minutes. ADD' WATER 'FEATURE : Becaue the government has placed water restrictions on all washers the water does not go all the way up to the top. Water will not automatically let out after seven minutes as most new machines do. COMMERCIAL MACHINE: heavy duty commercial quality washer, same as the laundromats use. NO 'COMPUTER: No lid lock, no computer to malfunction, simple rotary dial. CLEAN 'CLOTHES: Gets clothes really clean, and if you have grass or dirt it washes right out of the machine unlike some new machines. It has no computer, no lid lock, no automatic release of water if you try to soak the clothes in the manner prescribed by SpeedQueen. No 2 -3 hour wash cycle with the hot water as in the new style machines. Regular hot water cycle is still only 30 minutes!! 'the Speed Queen is only machine on the market where you can still get hot water out of your tap without it being diluted with cold due to the new government regulations). Many machines get great reviews in Consumers Reports but then the actual reviewers out in the real world say the machines fail due to computer errors, or spins holes into their clothes, or in spite of all precautions their clothes smell like mold. There are many real world reviews that say the water temperature for a hot water wash was really 60 degrees in the winter. If you have allergies and need a hot water cycle then do lots of research and get a certifed NSF'allergen cycle. People sticking a thermometer in the water are getting 60 degrees for a hot water wash. Computer errors abound this year in the land of washers. At this point there are too many problems with the washers this year so I went with the Speed Queen as it has no computer, a hot wash in just 30 minutes and my clothes will not smell like mold. I still LOVE this machine."

Reviews
"My wife and I were getting extremely tired of washing dishes every night. Neither our local Home Depot or Lowes carried anything in the portable variety. More hassle than they are worth… Imagine the headache of rolling a dishwasher out to your sink, hooking it up to a faucet, plugging it in, running the discharge hose into the sink… really??? I went back to search mode and reluctantly bought this SPT getup. The only differences are the additional attachments, wheels on the bottom, counter space on top, cement weight in the rear (to counter balance the weight of dishes on an extended rack), and a power plug. I got rid of all attachments that were unnecessary, placed caster coasters under the wheels, plugged it into a well hidden extension cord and installed lines just like a regular dishwasher. Physics: The discharge pump does not have to fight gravity to make it up to the sink. Pots, pans, ladles, tongs, forks, knives, plates, glasses… stuck on food, dried mac and cheese, greasy pans… ALL CLEAN."
"It had a little trouble with removing peanut butter (because I was sort of terrible about rinsing) and it didn't dry the greatest, but even still I would recommend this to anyone!"
"As an added bonus its on casters so it can roll away when you dont need it and the countertop is great to store your dish gel and rinse aid (I use finish, BTW)."
"Unpacking it was a little difficult, being that I'm a single woman who has back problems, but I got it done eventually once my brother and a friend got it up my basement steps into the kitchen. I have a built in space for it under my counter and after the one that was there finally went, this was the only portable dishwasher I could find that would fit in the same space. It preformed very well on first use and I had no problems with it at all. The faucet adapter I had for my other dishwasher fit this one perfectly, and I bought it here on Amazon back in 2014."
"Only draw back is it does not dry the dishes so have to dry them or allow them to air dry."
"This is the best dishwasher ever used guess the dishes very clean."
"Love love love this dishwasher, she is my new best friend, works absolutely fabulous!!"

Reviews
"After reading the reviews on it I went ahead and purchased the extended warranty and we'll see how that works out after the manufacturer's one year warranty runs out. Being as the ice is hollow it doesn't last as long as a regular ice cube, but it's working out fine for us."
"Change the water reservoir if not all of the water is used for ice within a week and there you have it."
"To keep it clean I just keep dumping the extra ice daily and refilling with tap water. Tap water should have enough chlorine to keep it clean inside."
"My husband loves this ice maker."
"Convenient, quiet and love it as we hate the icemaker in our refrigerator....and love the fact we can select various sizes....."
"This is a great little ice maker."
"This ice machine rocks!!"
"Now the camping trips in the summer it may not make as much as needed due to the temperature. You have to place in freezer to make bags and while camping once the basket filled we just but it in the ice chest."

Reviews
"As this happened, the wine cooler could only achieve/maintain about 10 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature, in contrast to the 17-18 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature it could achieve when new. When fixing it, I used the following components: a) Fan - I replaced the original 90 mm fan with a 140 mm fan that pushes 60 CFM and draws 0.14A, which is about the same amp draw as the original fan. The fan runs at top speed (1000 rpm) during cooling and cannot be heard - much quieter than the original fan. It has been two years since I fixed it; the wine cooler now achieves and hold about 20 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient temperature. If I set the cooler to 50F, then the Peltier and fan cycle on & off. I've attached three photos to this review showing what the modified back of the fixed cooler looks like, the difference between ambient and interior temperature, and the difference between the heat-sink temperature and the interior temperature."
"Avanti makes very good products, nonetheless - when I plugged it in, I was unable to change any of the parameters (temp, wine type) on the display. Finally figured that out; as you open bottles and reseal with your vacu-vin or what have you, it doesn't make sense to lay them back down, they're not going to "breathe" through those seals so, stand 'em up and they'll be ready when you are for your next glass! July 12, 2016 Update - As I passed the cooler today, I noticed that the temperature displayed was 58 degrees (set on 55,) no fans running and no action from the buttons."
"Had the LED been green or red, it would have been better, but I will still give it five stars because the controls require unlocking before use, making it hard for my toddler to set the temperature."
"My wife and I received this item as a wedding gift and, although we are generally satisfied with some aspects of the cooler (appearance, capacity and size, and convenience) the unit itself does not maintain a stable temperature on its own (a "must have" for delicate wines and the reason we wanted a wine fridge in the first place)."

Reviews
"I don't collect the best craft beers in the northeast, I drink them. Next day, I was saddened to notice my delicious beers weren't as cold as I would prefer. Out of nothing more than laziness, and maybe the inconvenience, I opted not to send this fridge back. We'll anyhow, there is a small Phillips head screw that adjusts the tension on the release of the thermostat."
"The other two shelves we arranged to allow for one shelf of bottles and one more shelf for cans. Our setup can hold 30 bottles (but more like 25 comfortably) on the bottle shelf, 15 cans on the top shelf, 30 cans (but more like 25 comfortably) on the other can shelf, and on the bottom shelf, since it is about half-size, can fit about 18 Bud Light Lime cans total. Per some of the other very helpful reviews and customer photos on Amazon I did purchase a couple of add-on products for about $30 total: --> This end table, so that my tall husband didn't have to squat all the way to the floor for something on the bottom shelf: DHP Parsons Modern End Table, Black Wood Grain. --> These flexible chopping mats so that the cans & bottles don't "tip" on the grill. The battery pack in this product happens to fit perfectly in a unusable notch area on the bottom/second shelving area, if the door opens on the left (since that is where the notch in the shelf is) Rtgs Micro LED 20 Super Bright Cold White Color Lights Battery Operated on 7.5 Ft Long Silver Color Ultra Thin String Wire [NEWEST VERSION] + 100% RTGS Products Satisfaction Guarantee. So ultimately, it would be fantastic if this fridge utilized glass shelves or smaller grates, and had LED door lighting, but the mods were cheap and easy enough to do on our own."
"Then I reversed the screw and went out for lunch, when I got back it was reading 30 degrees, so over shot a bit."
