Emerson MW8991SB 0.9Cu.Ft. 900 Watt Touch-Control Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've enjoyed having this little microwave and it's been a fast heater upper. I do have a few issues with the product I wanted to bring to everyone attention, tho. It's painted inside with a cream colored paint that started coming off under the glass plate after a year of use. Maybe it's because my hubby likes to heat his sunflower seeds in the microwave and the plate gets very hot. I'm not sure. Next, just this past week the oven filled up with small, white, lightning bolts and scared me really good. I had to reach and push the release button to open the door not knowing if I would be knocked backwards or risk a fire. In all I believe the microwave gets to hot for the material quality it is made of. Just becareful with this little fellow and treat it with kid gloves. I hope my review helps someone.

GE Profile : JES2251SJ 2.2 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave with Child Lockout and Extra Large Capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very disappointed at the poor reliability of this unit. Ours is less than a year old and has failed--now, when attempting to cook, the unit shuts off before the end of the programmed time. Even though the light comes on and the turntable turns, the unit does not heat food. Like others, I purchased this unit based on the recommendation in Consumer Reports; this recommendation didn't pan out. I tried to schedule warranty service and GE is making us wait a week to schedule and their frustrating telephone system does not provide information on where I can take it for service for faster turnaround (and didn't put me in touch with a live representative).
When the microwave oven worked, it worked fine. We replaced a Sharp unit with this one; though this unit has the advantage of a larger capacity, its controls are less intuitive.
Based on poor reliability and poor service, we're certainly not going to buy another GE microwave. We've had good success with GE refrigerators in the past; this is very disappointing. A quick search on the web now reveals that GE microwave ovens are not reliable--many others appear to have similar problems with the magnetrons.
Perhaps this is one reason why GE is looking to sell its appliance business...

Haier HLP23E Electronic 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot Touch Pulsator Top-Loading Portable Washing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in a one-bedroom unit in a massive apartment building with 6 laundry machines in the basement. I did not buy this unit from Amazon but rather from a Chinese electronics dealer in my area. Haier is very popular in China and the machine came highly recommended by the dealer.
The dealer delivered it to me, set it up and away we went. I have had this unit for about a month and here are my comments:
1) The unit is quieter than a traditional laundry machine.
2) I have had no problems with balancing the machine or with water intake. It fills quickly so long as there is high water pressure. The machine balances itself by stopping and starting until the clothes are balanced.
3) The high water level can accommodate a lot of clothes. I do about 3 loads a week: shirts/undies, pants, and towels.
4)It uses a lot less soap than traditional washers (about half I would say)
5)The regular wash runs for about 45 mins which I found excessive. The quickwash runs for about 22 minutes and I find that my clothes are perfectly clean. I only use the regular wash for very soiled items.
6) My unit came with casters so I had no problem. You may also buy casters at the hardware store... the casters are fairly standard.
7) Hooking it up to the sink did require a trip to the hardware store but it was easy to find the adapter as I brought the intake hose with me.

Ideal for small apartments or homes with limited space, this portable washing machine connects to a sink in just five easy steps with the included quick-connect sink adapter. The appliance features a 1-1/2-cubic-foot tub that can accommodate loads both large and small, plus an electronic control panel with an LED display for simple operation. Choose from four wash cycles (soak, wash, rinse, or spin); four water-level settings (very low, low, medium, or high), depending on the size of the load; and six cycle programs (standard, heavy, gentle, quick wash, wash, or spin). It also provides a power "on/off" button, a "start/pause" button for starting or pausing the wash cycle, function indicator lights, a beep to signal the end of the cycle, and automatic shut-off after about 10 minutes. Leveling legs make it possible to stabilize the unit even if it sits on uneven ground, and its see-through top lid allows for checking in on the wash cycle at a glance. To ensure safety, the unit will not operate with the lid open. Accessories include a power-cord clip, a water inlet hose, a drain-hose outlet plug, a gooseneck drain hook, a drain hose clamp, a lint filter, and a water filter--both filters can be removed for cleaning as needed. Fully assembled, the CSA-approved washing machine measures 19-11/16 by 21-1/8 by 34-23/32 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Magic Chef 3.6 Cu Ft Refrigerator Stainless MCBR360S Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The refrigerator keeps a steady temperature of 35 degrees with the dial on a setting of 5. 7 is the max setting, and 1 is the minimum. The refrigerator increases temp by about 6-8 degrees if you open the door for a minute and add more products. But if you open the door just to take out a drink, the temperature stays steady.
I give this refrigerator a 3 because of the noise level. The first one i bought was so noisy that i had to bring it back. It made a buzzing sound, probably due to a loose screw or something mechanically wrong with the compressor. I got a new one, same exact model, and that annoying buzzing sound is gone, but you can definitely hear the compressor when it's on. It turns on for about 2 minutes, then shuts off for about 5 minutes. It repeats this cycle.
The noise doesn't bother me, but that's because i keep the refrigerator in a place where it doesn't need to be super quiet. This product does the job and even though i give it only 3 stars, i do recommend it. It fits quite a bit of food and drinks. A half-gallon carton of milk fits nicely in the bottom compartment. I keep this at work, and 4 employees can store their lunches in there, as well as drinks and some extras too.

Waterwise 8800 Water Distiller Purifier (Water Wise) Distill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this distiller for a couple of years now and make 2-3 gallons of water PER DAY for my family. It is EXCELLENT. (Make sure and read my tip below if you do buy one).
To comment on the previous reviewer's statement that there's no point in distilling water and then keeping it in a plastic container -- the water doesn't stay in the container for any significant length of time to contaminate it. If there is a concern, the water can be easily poured into a glass jug and stored that way. With water this pure, I've found we drink more than ever and feel great about the health advantages and cost savings. The pitcher holds a gallon and that amount is easily used by most people within a day, given the amount we drink and cook with (i.e. water added in cooking to make oatmeal, rice, etc.).
The main reason we purchased this unit to begin with was that we moved into a home that has a water softener unit which automatically deposits salt and chemicals into the main water system. I watered houseplants with that water and within a week the plants died!! We simply didn't want to drink that water, but we like our water softener for other reasons (no hard water deposits) and didn't want to remove it.
The cost to produce the water in this distiller has not made any significant difference in our electricity bill, and we've found it to be cheaper and much more convenient than purchasing bottled water (who even knows what impurities bottled water contains!).
One TIP that I would recommend which allows the water to distill a lot faster: FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE HOTTEST POSSIBLE TAP WATER INSTEAD OF COLD WATER. It will cut down on the time it takes to make a gallon, as the unit won't have to work as long to bring the kettle to the boiling temperature required. This unit is easy to us -just fill the kettle with hot water and press a button.
I've found the Waterwise company to be very helpful with my questions, etc. over the phone. I would highly recommend this product. I can't imagine a glass of any other kind of water now!

GE : GSHL5KGXLS 25.4 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator - Clean Steel Look Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this refrigerator several months ago when the one in our new Coop broke down. We did not shop around, but my husband and I both felt that "you really can't go wrong with GE" as we have purchased GE refrigerators and stoves before when we upgraded other properties we owned. Boy were we wrong. As soon as the refrigeator arrived we noticed that the quality was poor. Where do I begin???? there is an awkward seam down the back of the fridge that is not even centered and looks as though someone glued two pieces together. The clean steel scratches easily and if you look at at the top of the refrigerator you will note that the steel was applied as a sheet that covers only the front of the door and does not extend all the way to the edges (poor workmanship). The water/ice dispenser sticks some times. The glass inside the refrigerator is terrible quality and scratches easily. The same goes for the door compartments. Really, the quality is so bad that it makes me angry to think that we paid $1,750 total including taxes and delivery. I would have gladly paid more for a quality product. Again, we have owned other GE refrigerators that did not have these problems.
