Haier WDNSC145 Convertible Freestanding Full-Size/Tabletop Water Dispenser Review

Haier WDNSC145 Convertible Freestanding Full-Size/Tabletop Water DispenserThis is my first Haier product.I've had this for a couple weeks and it has been working great.When you first turn the cold water switch on, it takes about 10-15 mins to get cold, but if you leave it on it's cold all the time.Same with the hot water, it takes about 5 minutes or so to heat up.

One problem i've noticed (minus the one star) is that when you have both hot and cold water switches on, both the hot water and cold water compete for ready access.This is not a big deal, so I usually just leave one switch on a time (usually cold since it gets the majority usage).

As far as heating and cooling quality, when it's hot, it's SUPER hot.When it gets cold, it's cold enough to condensate your glass, but not ice cold - still refreshing!

UPDATE:Here's something else I wanted to add.Unlike other water coolers, this one does not run constantly cold or hot. If you have the cold switch on, it will keep recooling the water in cycles (you'll see the cold water light go on every 20-30 mins or after use).Same with hot water.If you have the switch on, it will reheat the water in cycles (every 20-30 mins or after use).Another minor annoyance (-.5 stars), but again, it's tolerable.

Updated rating:3.5 out of 5 stars

Product Description:
Keep clean, refreshing drinking water readily available throughout the day with this two-piece freestanding water dispenser, which converts from a full-size to a tabletop unit by simply removing the base. The unit provides red and blue spout handles that make it easy to quickly differentiate between hot and cold water temperatures, and a child-safety feature on the hot-water faucet keeps little hands safe from burns (a tab must be pushed while simultaneously pushing the handle down to dispense hot water). The water dispenser's hot-water option allows for everything from tea, hot cocoa, instant soup, and noodles--great for a work break or quick lunch. Enjoy cool drinking water on its own, or add it to flavored drink mixes for instant lemonade or other favorites on a warm summer day. Other details include a compressor cooling system, an LED power-indicator light for the hot and cold water, a low-water safety device, a bottom storage compartment with a removable shelf, side handles, a dust cover, and a removable drip tray for quick cleanup. Designed for use with a 2-, 3-, or 5-gallon water bottle, the UL-approved water dispenser measures 15-5/8 by 13-1/4 by 36-3/4 inches.

GE/Kenmore SmartWater Filter Adapter (GWFADAPTER) Review

GE/Kenmore SmartWater Filter AdapterConsumers BEWARE! The GE Smartwater GWF filter is not a replacement for the old 'Culligan' FXRC metal filter. Despite the available adapter, the new Smartwater GWF filter was designed for a newer 'high-pressure' system installed in GE refrigerators manufactured after 2001. On the older models using normal water pressure [mine is a GE Performance Profile] these filters do not work. They will seem fine at first, only to run to a trickle in less than a month. I burned through several of these at @ $40.00 each until I discovered the problem.

With millions of wasted filters and dollars at stake, GE refuses to acknowledge the problem.I was told to find a technician at my expense. GE refused to replace the filters with a properly designed compatible model.

Product Description:
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan filter (FXRC, FXRT, MXRC or HXRT), WR97X10006, or Kenmore part number 46-9905 for the first time, you will need to purchase this adapter in addition to the GWF filter. The adapter attaches to the top of the GWF filter prior to installation. The next time you replace the filter, the adapter will stay connected to the refrigerator, so you won't need to buy another one. NOTE: The Water by Culligan filter shown in the picture is for reference only (it is not included with the adapter).

Brita Refrigerator Replacement Filters for GE Review

Brita Refrigerator Replacement Filters for GEI decided to replace the original filter on my GE refrigerator after about 10 months when the "change filter" light came on. I went to the local hardware store and found a replacement for $49 plus tax. It seemed expensive, so I decided to check Amazon instead and found these along with the OEM GE filters.
I was reluctant to try a filter other than the GE just to save a few bucks, but if they are identical, why waste money? Besides, Brita is probably better known than GE for filters. Anyway, the filter looks, fits and works just like the original. I have noticed no difference in water flow or noise. The water tastes clean and looks clear.
One note - as per the instructions you should pre-fill the filter at the tap before installation and then run about 10 glasses of water through the new filter before use to stabilize the flow.
As for the vendor - Fridge Filters, I found that you cannot track their packages online as you can with most things purchased from Amazon, but the filter arrived in Florida 4 days after my order was placed. I gave the product and the vendor 5 stars, not that I get particularly excited about a water filter, but there were no negatives to take a star away.
