Summit Compact Refrigerator 24 Inches - FF7B-BISSTB Review

Summit Compact Refrigerator 24 Inches - FF7B-BISSTBYou can easily buy one of these for under-counter mounting and assume that it will not require breathing space around the top.In fact, this refrigerator requires 5 centimeters (slightly over two inches) clearance above the top to allow the rear coil (yes, rear coil) to breathe.This means that there must be a ventilation gap somewhere around the top.If you're putting it under a counter top that has no gap around the top, back, or sides, you may require that gap over the front of the refrigerator (as you've often seen with cheap hotel refrigerators) -- but don't stop now, read on.

There is one possible work-around that you may want to consider.Let's assume that the wall directly behind is not an exterior wall (and is not stuffed with insulation.You can cut a two-inch horizontal slot in the drywall just below the countertop, but above the coil, so that the coil heat can escape into the wall.If you can then vent that wall space between the studs at some equal or higher point, you should be okay.A slot can also be cut to the side and above.The key is that the vent slot must be higher than the coil and the heat must ultimately have a path to rise and escape rather than just building up in the wall.The wider the slot, of course, the better, assuming that the slot leads to vented space.

In summary, my one-star rating has nothing to do with whether this is a good reliable refrigerator.My concern is that this unit costs three times as much as a free-standing model, yet it requires coil ventilation.(I'm sure that Summit would say that this is a commercial model that isn't expected to be trimmed in flush.)I'm hoping that I'll forewarn prospective buyers to plan for ventilation before they buy, not afterward like I did.

Sunpentown ThermoElectric Wine Coolers Review

Sunpentown ThermoElectric Wine CoolersThis is a piece of junk. It can barely keep wine cool in the winter with the heat off. The fan runs all the time no matter what. Furthermore, when the room temperature is a tad bit above 70 degrees, the light starts flashing along with a constant beeping. The only way to stop this, is to unplug it.

The manufacturer offers no suggestion other than saying it's probably the pc. In my mind "pc" is personal computer, not microprocessor which is probably what is controlling the light flashing and beeping. The manufacturer offers no method of getting a unit which is properly working, even though they shipped the original flashing and beeping unit. They consider it yours because you, well, opened their box. This is the kind of treatment that gives a bad name to internet shopping.

KitchenAid : KSCS25FVMS Refrigerator Review

KitchenAid : KSCS25FVMS RefrigeratorAmazon is great. Purchase products all the time from them. However my wife and I purchased a brand new KitchenAid refrigerator from Western Appliance in August 2008. From the moment we got it, we've had problems. First the inside light malfunctioned, then the digital readout. The repairman has been here 4 times to try to repair it and now that all the parts have been replaced still has no idea what's wrong with it. The ice machine quit working on the third service call, and we have no ice.
I have made numerous phone calls to Western Appliance, spoken to Leo, the salesperson, and the manager. They just tell me to call the Repairman.
This Saturday will be the fifth visit by another repairman from a different service. We get the runn around when we ask for a replacement from western Appliance, repair service center and KitchenAid. Even though we purchased an extended warranty. I even called KitchenAid myself and was told that even if we purchased the warranty, it does not cover lemons or replacements.
Their service is atrocious at best, and now that they have made a sale, we are virtually ignored or fobbed off. Worst of it is, the repair company under their contract has no idea what they're doing.
This is the worst service I've ever encountered from an appliance store or manufacture. DO NOT BUY ANY APPLIANCES FROM WESTERN APPLIANCE or KITCHENAID. You will regret it if it should ever malfunction.
It is now Novenber 2008 and I have NO LIGHTS, NO DIGITAL READOUT, AND NO ICE from my brand new KitchenAid refrigerator, and am waiting for a "second Opinion" from another repair co, while being ignored by Western Appliance.
I am so frustrated with all the waiting and phone calls I've had to make, not to mention all the work time I've lost waiting the 4 hours window for the repairmen to show up. I was on hold one hour with the mother company only to be told I had to get a second opinion from another repair co. How long does this have to go on before we can get a functioning refrigerator?
Western Appliance, South Bay Repair and KitchenAid should really look at their practices and know that they are losing many potential and future customers because I will tell any and all who will listen about the shoddy way they treat their customers.
I also intend to notify consumer agencies as well as the Better Business Bureau, because I've had enough of their stall tactics.
