Tupperware Fridgesmart, Small Review

Tupperware Fridgesmart, SmallI purchased the small FridgeSmart medium and the small for use in our kitchen.We frequently buy items in bulk and need to wash and keep separate.The small container is perfect for grapes, lemons and other fruit.It is also ideal for oranges and brocolli crowns.This container when set properly will keep your fresh food fresh.It is also easy to clean.The only drawback was that the lid is somewhat difficult to apply.I also wish it had the valve settings like the medium one does.Overall, this container helps me in the kitchen.

BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B95 Home Beer-Tap System Review

BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B95 Home Beer-Tap SystemIf you love draft beer but don't drink enough to need a full keg this is for you!

I like my beer ice cold poured in a SMALL frozen glass .... I dont drink enough to warrant a full size type draft keg machine with all the hassles that come with it (like Co2) this unit is simple: just drop the draughtkeg in and your done. This unit has a thermostat setting that lets you set it to 36 degrees , the other unit will not allow you to lower the setting so this alone makes it worth the extra $20.

With the draughtkeg and beertender you get a nice little fridge who's sole job is to keep that keg ice cold and easy to pour... since it has a bottom drip tray you can pour your draught " english " style by letting the first half second just pour out to clear the foam then quickly put your glass in to get a nice pour with little foam - you cant do that when pulling from the big fridge....

What makes it nice is you can pour as much or more importantly as little as you want... like I said I like a small beer glassthat gives me nice cold gulps of beer then just pour more - no wasted warm beer just nice and cold PLUS its fun to pour ! Lets face it this is a luxury item because you could just keep it in the big fridge and pour from there but thats no fun! Plus the big fridge is not going to maintain that keg at a constant 36 degrees!

The unit itself is pretty small and very light - it uses some induction type cooling so there is no typical fridge motor its a small fan - now this fan will work hard at first to get that keg down to temp but once its done it gets quieter - its loud enough that you should not put it in an area that is normally quiet .. also since it does not use a fridge type motor it will not work outdoors! It uses the ambient air to help cool the unit - anything over 85 degrees and it will not be able to maintain the temp - so indoor use only.

So to sum up - if you like the Heineken draghtkegs you will enjoy this item - is it necessary ? No , but you will get a much more enjoyable feeling when pouring that perfectly chilled draught. I hope Heineken adds more to the draughtkeg line up like they have in Europe... remember it only works with Heineken so if you dont like Heineken then this item will not work for you...

B95 or B90 ? Spend a little more and get the fancy lcd screen and temp control - especially if you like the cold beer because the other unit is preprogrammed at 39 or 40 deg ... but some people like a warmer draught but the price difference is so little you might as well ' go all the way ' ....

Cheers!

FIFO Can Tracker- Food Storage Canned Foods Organizer/Rotater/Dispenser: Kitchen, Cupboard, Pantry- Rotate Up To 54 Cans Review

FIFO Can Tracker- Food Storage Canned Foods Organizer/Rotater/Dispenser: Kitchen, Cupboard, Pantry- Rotate Up To 54 CansJust got two of these and set them up in my cellar.

Set up is quite easy, you just have to snap (force) the spacer pegs into the holes, then twist to secure.I had to use a wrench, as suggested in the instructions, to turn the pegs.

In the sample picture, you can see green cans on the left and right sections, and yellow in the center.The center yellow cans are separated by three shorter pegs.You can choose to put those in, or just use three of the longer pegs instead, which would give you three sections of larger (15 oz) cans.It comes with extra pegs so you can pick.

The cool thing is if your shelf is long enough, you can attach two units together - so you just keep going after you build the first three sections (as shown in the picture) and add the next three on, with a section in between, instead of 3+3=6, you get 3+3+1 (in the middle) = 7.Each unit comes with six extra pegs, three short ones for the smaller section if you want it, and three extra to attach another whole unit to the side of the first.

Each section holds 16 or more cans, I don't know, I don't have that many cans of one type.I ended up putting a [...] case (12 cans) in the top, which means they roll out the bottom, and then putting three or four other cans in the middle.The middle ones don't join the roll toward the bottom until there's about five of the bottom cans left.

The shelves are made of a strong sturdy plastic, and a smart design.

They don't hold the big soup cans (18-19 oz) just the regular 15 oz cans.

BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B90 Home Beer-Tap System Review

BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B90 Home Beer-Tap SystemALas.....it seems I as many of the early adopters are learning the pain of the KRUPS BEERTENDER.

I was very excited for this product and my girlfriend bought one for me for my birthday in APRIL 2008.
THe product is well designed and works well when it works.
Problem is...I only used it 2x...and the unit stopped cooling.

One thing customers of this item should know is that you really aren't supposed to store a Heineken Draught Keg in it for more than a day (they say this in the manual) and that you are supposed to remove the keg and put it in the fridge if you plan on storing it longer.

ISn't that kinda stupid and defeats the purpose of such an expensive unit?? Also...it only uses Mini-Kegs that have their own CO2 pressuration built in like the Heineken Mini-keg.....so expect your choice (if any) to be limited.

Anyhoo, I used 2 Draught Kegs in a 6 week period....and the unit stopped cooling. I contacted KRUPS and received an RMA and had the unit shipped in for repair on 6/23/08. After hearing nothing I followed up on 7/24/08 as to the status of my machine, they apologized and put in a rush order to have a replacement shipped after emailing them 2x and calling.

My latest phone conversation (8/19/08) I was told that they had been backordered on the machine until this past week and should receive my replacement machine in 2 weeks....we'll see.

While I like the machine......the rep said that this being a brand new product for Krups they were experiencing issues in servicing of the unit. I am thinking this machine was not ready to be released and that the cooling unit is very likely to fail in every unit.

I would have to say there might be a better options if you plan to use this type of dispenser regularly.

UPDATE (9/21/08):
Received my warranty replacement unit at the end of AUGUST. To my surprise.......KRUPS did not repair my machine...they sent a completely NEW Unit!! YAY!

So far the unit has worked perfectly and I have used it 1x since i received it. Hopefully they have resolved any issues they were experiencing in manufacturing so I or others won't experience the cooling failure that I did with my 1st unit. So Far So Good.....there are also rumors of more varieties of Draught Keg coming to the US like they have in Europe....that would definitely make the unit a more worthwhile purchase rather than a creature comfort.

LG : LK45C CustomCube Automatic Ice Maker Review

LG : LK45C CustomCube Automatic Ice MakerThe ice maker is very nice. It works and works very well. The included instructions didn't seem to match what my fridge had, but it was close enough that I was able to improvise.

The only gripe is that the sound it makes when the water runs to fill is very loud and drives my wife nuts. We're used to the sound of the dropping cubes, but we've never heard another one make this much racket when filling up. It's not a big deal though, once the tray is full, it doesn't fill anymore until it needs to make more cubes.

Wine Cooler Review

Wine CoolerWe got this refrigerator about 4 months ago and have really enjoyed it.We needed to keep the budget low and this fit the bill.We've had no problems with it, mechanically - it runs great, keeps the wine cool, and has enough room for our needs.When it arrived, the manual described variable temperatures at different levels of the fridge, this is not so!The fridge is all one temperature.Also, we keep it on the lowest setting and this seems good for our white wine.I wouldn't put reds in there and I wouldn't turn it any colder for the whites!

Instead of white, it is a multiple-colored panel of off-whites. The surround around the ice maker/beverage counter has faded to an off-white, the inside to a grayish white, the hinges to a yellowish white and the handle to yellow.

No more American appliances. It's another industry where quality has taken a back seat to cheap. It's no wonder why American made appliances are showing up less and less in the larger appliance stores.

FIFO Mini Can Tracker- Food Storage Canned Foods Organizer/Rotater/Dispenser: Kitchen, Cupboard, Pantry- Rotate Up To 30 Cans Review

FIFO Mini Can Tracker- Food Storage Canned Foods Organizer/Rotater/Dispenser: Kitchen, Cupboard, Pantry- Rotate Up To 30 CansI must disagree with the previous reviewer. I have several of these in my pantry and they do the job quite well. They will take large diameter cans (such as 26 oz. tomato cans), regular size cans (i.e. vegetables) and family size cans (like the tall, 26 oz. Family size soup cans). Their biggest limitation is that they can accept ONLY those 3 can sizes because the can slots can only be created in 3 set widths. For that reason,I use not only this type of can storage, but also the "Cansolidator" also available on Amazon. The cansolidator cannot be used with the large 26 oz. tomato cans, but works beautifully for other cans, including tuna, small mushrooms, small evapo milk, as well as regular vegetable cans, etc. because the cans slot width is almost infinitely adjustable.

I love to cook so I try to maintain a fairly extensive pantry. The FIFO and Cansolidator products in combination have solved the problem of the cans that expired 5 years ago only being discovered when they've become a leaky science experiment somewhere in the back of the cupboard. With these organizers it's easy to see how much of each product you have as well as being assured that when you select a can, you're getting the oldest can.

One piece of advice about the FIFO storage: Decide which cans you want to use and pre-assemble the whole thing, then put it on your shelf. Adding additional pieces to it once it's already in place can certainly be done, but it's much more awkward than pre-assembling.

Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - BlackWe've had this fridge for a little over two years, and I've just made my second repair call.The first time (about 3 months ago), the freezer was working fine, but the fridge was warm.The tech said a controller board malfunctioned causing the duct from the freezer (the only part of the unit that gets chilled) to ice over, preventing cold air from entering the upper compartment (the fridge).Now, the compressor/fan only runs when the door is opened, and the fridge compartment is gradually warming up.We paid >$2000 for it, and would NOT buy this (maybe even ANY Amana product) again!

LG : LFC25770SB Refrigerator Review

LG : LFC25770SB RefrigeratorI purchased this fridge from another retailer in Aug 2007. I loved it and was so pleased with it until the ice maker kept breaking, and then it leaked, and then we realized the freezer wasn't keeping the desired temperature- freezing. I tried the manufacturers suggestions but it didn't seem to help. After a couple months of denial and a 20 degree freezer (it's supposed to be 0), I called an authorized service technician who took the freezer apart and told me that i had a "sealed system leak". Probably the worst repair possible because even though the major parts are still under warranty the labor to repair my 2 year old, highly rated, Consumer Reports recommended, expensive but beautiful would cost $700 to repair. And considering the comments I've seen on other websites, the repair probably won't last. Do yourself a favor and pick something else because LG won't stand behind their products and a class action suit may be in the offing.

GE GSL22JFXLB Energy Star 22.0 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator (Clean Steel) Review

GE GSL22JFXLB Energy Star 22.0 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side RefrigeratorI've always wanted a side by side, and finally saved up enough to purchase this one. I was told it was a good refrigerator, well made and all that. It did work for about 10 months before it started blitzing. Lucky for me it was before the warranty ended, not so lucky for me & 4 to 5 visits from the store repairman I believe my problems still have not been resolved. The weird thing is, my model number is GSH22JSXSA, yet its the same side by side using the model number GSH22JSXSS. No repair person can figure out why my model number ends in SA instead of SS, and yes my side by side is stainless steel so that's not it. One repair guy said he believes it is just a newer model as an explaination for this diversion, however plug the model in and nothing, absolutely nothing comes up as that model number. Ok, on to the problems. My s/s started freezing up every thing inside, and melt occured along the front of the door and along the sides which would of course freeze over. I had frozen drips hanging from the shelves and snow covered foods so thick you had to melt it off by running under warm water to know what was in those packages. The first repairman said the situation inside was our fault and occured due to leaving the door open. However, that was not the case, but he over-rode any thing I had to say to the contrary; was rude and very disrespectful. I work or probably would have noticed something that was happening with the s/s sooner. One day during the weekend I happened to open up the freezer section and actually felt heat. Now that was odd. I noticed moisture along the walls of the freezer section as every thing was melting and no evaporation of this moisture occured. The freezer section was really hot towards the top above the ice bin, melting the icecubes causing the half ice and water to coagulate around the auger. The defroster/heater wasn't turning off in a timely manner and melting everything. Weirder yet, after this thaw or what I called intermittent freezer hot flashes, the freezer would go to the opposite extreme of too cold refreezing all the foods stored there even at a setting of 1. Guess what, the door wasn't left opened and hey GE I discovered it wasn't our fault. On several occasions I smelled a burning scent and when I opened the freezer during an especially strong smell of something burning, the heat was more intense from within and the light bulb inside blew up. Not just burn out, it exploded and shards of tiny pieces of glass were on my food in the freezer and my feet on the floor. I still don't know why this happened, other than what the repair person said that the heaterwasn't working right and stays on too long.Heat rises and ice melts. He didn't seem concerned that this might be a safety issue, the defroster running too long doesn't explain the burning scent and why the light bulb disintegrated. Not to mention what could have happened if I had young children under foot. Mother board replaced, thermostat & sensor replaced, heater replaced, ice cube maker replaced. Once these things were fixed, well sort of, after months of ice cubes melting to the auger so ice didn't dispense I was advised after the last fix that the cubes should dispense just fine. Well the ice cubes still aren't being dispensed. I noticed after the last fix last Friday, ice cubes are not melting, staying separate, and so far no intense heat aka hot flashes. I can't say the freezer is running optimally, not yet... its still running colder than it should even at a setting of 1 "but" I haven't noticed burning smells recently, no snow is covering my foods, there are no frozen drips hanging from the shelves or icecycles along the sides and front. Its only been 3 days so all I can say is we will see. But I have to admit, I'm a bit afraid of this appliance, whether it will possibly heat up again and maybe cause a fire, I worry that the light bulb will explode again, I wonder if it will ever work like it should, & I'm hoping I didn't waste the money I spent to buy it. I had a choice, and picked this GE model out of many other brands. All my appliances are GE and all have been quality. GE, what happened with this s/s, what's going on?

LG : LFX23961ST 22.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

LG : LFX23961ST 22.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel1/3/2010:Got this fridge yesterday from Sears except in White.Looks real nice and so far is quieter than my older one.Had a water leak in the door of this fridge on day one but after easily moving the hose coil in the chiller it stopped.The quick-connect water lines don't like to be bent so that was the issue there.The unit cooled down fast and I was able to stock the fridge in an hour after the doors were kept shut.It was hard not opening them to keep looking inside.:)I'm not concerned about the energy consumption.I wanted a small french door fridge with water and ice in the door and this (and the Kenmore version) were the only models that met the specifications.

1/11/2010 Update:I really love this fridge!It is so bright inside. The ice maker keeps up with me filling up my 40oz water bottle with ice every day plus other general use from other people at home.As a bunch of people say as well though on these style fridges, when cubes is selected some crushing action still happens but for the most part whole cubes come out.If you were really fussy about needing just cubes this may be a downfall however it seems to be a problem on all french door fridges with ice in the door.You just have to weigh your options / needs.I use mostly crushed ice when I'm at home and cubes in my water bottle so a little crushed ice with my cubes isn't a problem.Compared to my old fridge/freezer (standard freezer on top model) this fridge/freezer has a lot more room inside however door storage is less because the icemaker takes up the door space.Not a big deal though as I'd rather have more main compartment storage.I'm really happy with the purchase.

1/19/2010 Update:No more complaints here.Love the fridge and all it's features.Freezer on the bottom is great!Lots of room.

Amana : ABL2222FES 22.1 Cu. Ft. Easy Reach Plus Refrigerator Review

Amana : ABL2222FES 22.1 Cu. Ft. Easy Reach Plus RefrigeratorOur old Amana refrigerator was twelve years old and starting loosing the ability to keep food cold in the food part of the unit.After tracing the problem down to a basic design flaw, I was not sure I wanted to purchase Amana again, however, it seems most refrigerators are made by one or two makers.Thus, I went on a quest for the best looking unit for the money.

Amana has changed some of the layout for food placement, but basically this one has ample room for all the things that you want to put into a refer. It even has an extra wide door rack that will hold one gallon milk jugs with ease.This model did not have an ice maker, or a covered storage space for eggs.It does have temp controls at the top at the front for both freezer and food areas. There is also a covered storage area for butter, and a special drawer for meats and cheeses.The shelves are glass, sturdy, and adjustable.There is also ample lighting in both the freezer part and the food part of the unit.

Easy Reach is a brand name by Amana given to those units with the freezer component on the bottom.Some open like a door and this one like a drawer.The freezer does NOT have and ice maker, or even ice cube trays. The drawer is easy to use and will hold lots of frozen goods.I have not filled it yet, so I cannot say how well it keeps large quantities frozen.

To see this unit in action, watch "two and a half men" , and when they shoot a kitchen scene, the refer is this model. I discovered this after I made my purchase.Just shows that no one pays attention until you research.

For under $[...] delivered and installed, and taking away my old, and a $[...] energy rebate, the Amana ABL2222FES is a good buy.Carpetguru
