U-Line : 1115RB-00 15 Compact Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this model for use in our game room bar in July 2008. Upon delivery the temperature controller failed to work properly and the unit never cooled. The controller went completely blank in just a couple of days. The retailer refused to provide us with a new unit and sent a service technician to our house. The technician found that the wiring harness to the cooling fan had either come loose or been installed incorrectly. After connecting the wiring harness the unit began to cool but we found the digital controller still wasn't working properly. The technician asked us to use it for a couple of days to see if it worked itself out. Several days later, unable to change the temperature at all, we again called the appliance retailer and demanded a new unit. They again refused, sending the technician out again. He said he thought the entire computer was fried and needed to take the unit to his shop for service. We were without the refrigerator for three weeks while all of the electronics were replaced. When it was returned it seemed to work fine. Now, almost one year to the day after it was repaired, the temperature controller has again failed and the digital readout is blank. I expected more from a $1,000 bar refrigerator from U-Line. I would not recommend this unit based on my experience with it. Check out the Marvel or Scotsman refrigerators for roughly the same price.

New Haier America 2.7cf Refrigerator-White Coil Back 2 Liter Bottle Storage Feature-Packed Compact Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My roommate & I bought this fridge used for $50 our first year at college, 4 years ago. Our little fridge served us well, keeping beverages cold & ice cream frozen, during its time being used in college dorms. It then spent over a year in attic storage, while nobody needed it.
Within the last month, our mini-fridge came to the rescue when our big fridge died unexpectedly after just three years of use. Thanks to the durability of this little fridge, our household of four is still able to enjoy the luxury of storing perishable goods!
I would highly recommend this fridge to anyone seeking a compact, energy efficient refrigerator, whether they need it for a dorm room, a single-person household, or in addition to a larger fridge. With proper care (and even with a little abuse now & again), this fridge should survive college years and more.
I would note that on lower (warmer) fridge settings, such as 3 or 4, items in the freezer do tend to melt a bit on top. I've found that the 5 setting seems to be best for keeping such items frozen without freezing everything else. The 7 setting is great if you want to freeze pretty much the whole fridge (though I would not recommend that for long-term meat storage without a thermometer to check the actual temperature).

Danby DCR34W Compact Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i choose this refrigerator for two reasons: 1. instead of the usual 20+ inch footprint, this model was well enough under to fit perfectly in a space where i wanted it, and 2. i had a danby two zone wine cooler that has worked well for over ten years. i'm especially happy with the quality of the danby products as compared to other small refrigerators i've owned. it's quiet and well designed for what it's meant to do. i removed the drip pan, egg tray, and the ice cube tray to make more room. when it comes time to defrost, i'll replace the drip pan. this thing holds at least three cases of soda or beer plus other stuff that can be squeezed in. like most small units, there's no light; but when i reach in i pretty much know what i'll find.

Danby Deluxe Mini Fridge with Freezer (4.3cu.ft.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this from another retailer almost 9 years ago! Since then I've broken the freezer door off, but that's the only thing that has gone wrong. Every year or two you'll need to defrost the freezer, which is a pain. But that's not too bad considering the life of the product. The built-in can dispenser in the door is great and partially why I picked this model.

Haier HNSE05BB 4-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Refrigerator/Freezer, Black/Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this refrigerator for my office. It is to be shared by a group of 5 people, so I wanted one that was a little bigger than the typical compacts. I paid for overnight deliverly as others had suggested. The unit arrived in a box that had been previously opened. I was a bit worried when I removed the item from the box. It had some large dents on the side, but was otherwise ok. Once I plugged it in, I realized there were bigger issues. The motor was very loud and was cycling constantly. It would run for seven minutes and then would be off for four minutes, then on for seven, off for four - yes I actually timed it. Everytime the unit came on it startled me. At first I thought that once the motor broke in, that it would become quiet. That did not happen. After having the unit for 24 hours and spilling a cup of coffee on my desk from my rattled nerves, I called Amazon for a replacement unit.
The new refrigerator arrived the next day. Once again, it arrived in a box that had previously been opened. The replacement had a large dent on the door, but otherwise works great. It is so quiet. I barely notice it when the motor is running. What a difference! I actually check it on occasion to make sure that it is working because I don't notice it at all. I switched doors with the first refrigerator and now I have a unit that has no significant dents and it doesn't interrupt my work environment. The actual refrigerator is nice looking and has a lot of interior space. After the experience with the first one, I am a bit concerned about the reliability, but for now, I am satisfied.

Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)... foregoing the two reviews about shipping damage, I thought I'd try ordering this product for several reasons:
1) The hi-res dealer images of it from Sanyo.com made it look like one sexy fridge
2) The energy rating was good
3) I knew if the product did arrive damaged, Amazon would replace it, or refund my money anyway
4) I have Amazon Prime, so I figured paying $3.99 for overnight shipping would also make the delivery people think this was a special product, since it was going overnight, and not being sent across the country via Ground shipping, and abused in the process.
Well, the product arrived today, and initially, I thought, "This can't be good."
The box was extremely tattered... and the top was ripped open. I also heard rattling as the FedEx man helped me carry it up the stairs. Then he left, without even getting a signature. Oh, and at my front door the FedEx man just dropped the box on the ground in front of me.
I opened the box upstairs, and saw horrible, horrible packaging, as others have mentioned. The box was all beat up, and several of the inch or less thick padding was cracked and damaged.
Luckily, the fridge seemed to make it through intact... no dents, and it worked. The rattling as I carried it was the compressor... I still don't know if this is normal though.
These fridges are indeed shipped on a pallet, you can see that from the shipping sticker from Sanyo to Amazon's Nevada warehouse. Three fridges per pallet. All Amazon does is stick a FedEx/UPS sticker on these boxes, and ship them off. If I didn't get this sent overnight, I can almost guarantee the fridge would've beat beat to hell going ground from Nevada to New York.
As for this part of the item description,
"To keep the refrigerator looking brand new, its stainless-steel door has a clear acrylic coating that eliminates fingerprints and is easy to keep clean."
Well, it won't be happening for me, as the clear acrylic coating came ripped halfway down the upper right corner of the fridge, so I really had no choice but to rip all the rest of it off.
The fridge works, and it DOES look amazingly sexy, but unless you have Prime, or want to pay for expedited shipping, this will almost certainly come damaged until Amazon decides to start packaging these adequately. And really, I don't see why they don't, because it's just a hassle for the end customer, and an expensive dime on their end to pay for return shipping, and then shipping again for a replacement.

With a 3-2/3-cubic-foot interior, this counter-high black refrigerator with a stainless-steel reversible door provides both style and versatility. Canned beverages and 2-liter containers can be stored in the door for easy access, while the unit's stylish black interior offers additional functionality with a vertical can dispenser, clear spill-proof shelves, and a crisper.

Its smooth back design enables placement in most areas, while its durable countertop can be used as a serving station and will hold a 12-ounce liquid spill without overflowing.

Haier 3.9 Cu Ft Fridge W Full Sz Freezer Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To prolong the life on your fridge, you should read what must be done. This fridge has to be unplugged for 24 hours if it is EVER horizontal, probably with the liquids inside for the cooling system. Since the delivery men could have had it horizontal (assume that they did) or if they had it diagonal going up the stairs or whatnot, you should have it unplugged for 24 hours. After that, you have to have it on '4' setting for 24 hours.
Beware that the back can get pretty hot as its meant to take heat out of the fridge.
After that, the fridge seems to be working GREAT. Had it for about a month or so now and it is cold enough to make ice and freeze my ice pack on the '5' setting as well as keep my drinks cold. NOT a disappointment like the so called mini-fridges which are really mini coolers.

Silent Feet - Anti-Vibration Pads for Washing Machines and Dryers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought a used front load "super high effeciency" washing-machine and dryer set made by LG. I have an LG dishwasher and have been very impressed with how quiet and well it works.
When I first used the new washing machine, it was reasonably quiet, except for when spinning. It is up on 14 inch tall pedestals, and when the spin cycle started, it jumped all around. Also it was shaking my whole house, making paintings, even in non-adjacent rooms, rattle on the wall.
My wife was afraid of it and refused to even do laundry. I assumed I was going to have to sell it again, probably at a loss, and buy something else. But, first I convinced my wife to let me try a few things, such as these feet.
I orderred these feet, then while waiting, I also put two 30 pound cat litter buckets on the washing machine, this stopped it jumping around, but it still shook the entire house.
Today these feet arrived, they are really well designed. The box has two pair of feet, a "sliding" pair for the back feet, and a "sticky" pair for the front feet. You put the "sliding" pair under the back feet, so you can then adjust the position before installing the front "sticky" pair. The result is your machine can't slide once setup. This alone is handy. Best of all, they actually successfully damp the vibrations so that my wife didn't even hear the washing machine running spin cycle on the "high" speed when sitting down-stairs, directly under it.
Alas, they are not complete miracle workers. If I remove the two 30 pound cat litter buckets, the washing machine starts bouncing up off the feet still, and thus makes lots of noise. BUT, with the extra 60lbs of weight, and these feet, what was once impossibly loud, is now nearly silent, and my house is once again stable, no bouncing paintings or photos.
HIGHLY recommended.

Anti-walk Silent Feet - Anti-vibration Pads for Washing Machines and Dryers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Anyone who has one of the new front-loading washing machines installed on a second story knows how awful it is. The spin cycle shakes the whole house. Pictures rattle on the walls, the windows actually bow and it honestly sounds like a helicopter hovering over the house (I swear, that's not an exaggeration). It actually caused a shelf of my china hutch to collapse.
But wow! These Silent Feet are abolutely great! The best $80 (2 sets) I have spent in a while. The noise is almost completely gone. Same with the vibration. Still a little of both but dramatically improved.
A little challenging placing them under the back feet. They won't slide under the weight of the machine. Our solution: push the machine back, have one person tip it forward and use a stick to slide the Silent Feet into place.
The installers told me they had never seen a front-loading washer run so silently and still. They actually took the Silent Feet packaging with them to recommend them to customers.
