Haier MWM0701TB Compact 2/3-Cubic-Foot 700-Watt Microwave Oven, Black Review

Average Reviews:

This is overall a mediocre microwave. I read the reviews that warned of the problems described below but went ahead with the purchase because of the size and price. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but it's really only for tiny studio apartments like mine. If you have space, I'd recommend going with a larger microwave.
Pros: Very small so it fits great in my tiny studio apartment. Buttons and door work fine. Good kitchen timer.
Cons: Very low power so microwave times are longer than normal. At times heats items unevenly (top will be cooked while bottom will be frozen). Internal tray rotates, but microwave is so small that normal sized plates or square plates will bump into the walls and stop the rotation.

Samsung RF4287HARS 28 cu. ft. 4-Door French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

So far the fridge works well, has tons of capacity, flexible shelving systems.
This unit is a tad shorter than others in this size class. It needs only 68.5" of clearance for the portion of the unit behind the hinges. There is a plastic cord holder/dust cover on the back left top of the ice box. This was a cover for a recessed area that looks like where the water connects to the ice maker. I had to remove it to fit under the 68.5" face frame I had. This leaves about 1/4" top clearance at the face frame of the upper cabinet (of course 2" above top when you get past the face frame). I did cover the recessed area with packing tape to keep dust out.
The touch screen is a little finicky about where you touch. To switch ice types or turn ice off, you actually don't touch the screen rather the top curved area of the ice/water portal - not very clear in manual, luckily there one one obscure picture that showed the correct spot.
The middle "flex" drawer looks very promising.
Will update this over time.
Update: 06/17/10
I did see a better picture about turning ice off - better that my initial review. Ice maker has a somewhat different and slightly louder "ice drop" sound. The ice making frequency could be faster, but only time will tell if it keeps up with summer demand. I did have to tweak the alignment of the upper doors - could not be simpler!!!

Sanyo 3.6 Cubic Foot Refrigerator Review

This refrigerator is great - if you want to keep soda cold. The items in the door are barely chilled, not cold....the freezer either doesn't freeze at all OR freezes so well that everything on the top shelf freezes too...all without touching the temperature dial. On the positive - it's a nice size.

Whirlpool ED5KVEXVB 25.3 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator Review

We purchased this refrigerator several months ago and have been very disappointed. It is poorly constructed and noisy. The shelves and drawers are very inferior quality and easily broken. There are not enough shelves and they are poorly arranged so we actually have less storage than we did with our old 25' refrigerator. This purchase was a bad mistake.

good little refrigerator holds a couple of lunches. don't rely on it for ice making the freezer door doesn't close and the condensation from the freezer leaks water on to a driptray that fills quickly.
It's also a little hard to move given the size and weight there are no handles and the coolant pipe on the back of the fridge stick out quite a bit be careful it could be broken easily.

I'd purchased an Avanti before. The crisper cooler cover broke, it's really not that sturdy at all. Called customer service and waited a half hour before someone informed me that there were no replacement parts for that model, and oh, by the way, yeah, sorry. I will never order from this company again, anything.

Haier HBCN05FVS 150-Can Beverage Center Review

Haier HBCN05FVS 150-Can Beverage Center
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My beverage center arrived quickly and we were quite eager to get it up and running as my husband always takes too much space in the fridge with his bottled water, soda pop and beer. Just as advertised, it holds a lot of stuff!
The honeymoon ended quickly though, when we found that we could not get the temp to go below 49 degrees, which is pretty tepid for any cold beverage and absolutely unacceptable for beer. We tried everything, reread instructions, etc. You can only set it on a dial, there no indication of what the temp actually is...so we bought a thermometer and got the bad news that despite being on the coldest setting possible, we weren't getting below 49-50, which according to the thermometer we bought is actually in the "danger" zone of letting bacteria breed.
So, we call the manufacturer who says that we should have know it is a "cooler" not a fridge and will only keep beverages 20 degrees cooler than the ambient temp in the house. What a crock!!!!!!
So, we're stuck with a piece of equip that barely cools things down.
I suggest anyone interested in purchasing these things, now matter the price, be well informed between the differences of cooler and refrigerator. I have learned an expensive lesson.
