Samsung : RSG257AARS 24 cu. ft. Counter Depth Side by Side Refrigerator - Real Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This model is newer inside than the larger, non-counter depth model RS275ACRS. I returned that model to get this one and am very glad I did.
1. This model has interior LED lights when you open the refrigerator instead of the hotter old bulbs like the 275.
2. I am somewhat compulsive about temperature control. I have two precision thermometers, one in the fridge and one in the freezer compartment. On the RS275ACRS, the temperatures were nowhere near what the external display was reporting them as. On this model, however, the refrigerator is usually within 0.2 deg F of the reported temperature (at coldest setting of 34F, thermometer reports 34.1 whereas the 275 would be all over the place, never lower than 37 or so). In the freezer, this model is rock solid at -10 F when the external display is -14 F. I consider this excellent, as most freezers can't get this low. The 275 was lucky to get to -7 F with the display at -14 F. And yes, I allowed plenty of calibration time and took multiple readings over weeks. So, in my testing anyway, they have definitely upgraded the innards since the 275.
3. This model has the icemaker on the freezer door, not hogging the upper shelves of the freezer, which I love.
4. It is, obviously, slightly shallower than the RS275ACRS, but the markedly improved performance is well worth it to me.
5. Fridge very quiet.
6. External display slightly improved vs RS275ACRS.

Frigidaire Gallery Series : FGHD2433KF Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the worst consumer product I have ever bought. Worse than any bad dell laptop or any other appliance. The sad thing is, that it does a great job washing dishes and is pretty quiet while doing it. Frigidaire seems to think that their solution to a ventless design is to let steam escape during drying from out the sides and top of the door. Within 6 months, my cabinets and doors were ruined by the constant steam. The finish peeled and cracked. was covered under warranty by maker of cabinets but clearly wasn't their fault. Then a few months later, the thing started blinking and would only sporadically respond to button presses and would only do random things not necessarily what I pressed. Service came out and replaced buttons and circuit board (under warranty). That circuit board started to cause my dishwasher to randomly make crazy noises at random times of day regardless of whether or not the dishwasher was actually run that day. Came out again and said they could not duplicate the problem, I asked them to stay until it did it again, and of course it started doing it again at 2am so they had left. Well, now I can get a new circuit board because it died again. lights blinking, then nothing. oh wait, nothing but then 5 minutes later burning smell and smoke. unplugged unit, thankfully I was home and prevented a bigger fire or explosion. Now it is past warranty and repair is $200 for the same crappy circuit board. if you ever get a chance to look at the circuit board, it resembles the technology of your old atari 2600 but actually costs more, does less and is extremely prone to failure. Over the years, frigidaire has made small changes to the design from an aesthetic point, but not from a functional point, the newer 2010 model still has the same lousy design. do a search on frigidaire circuit board failiure or frigidaire fire or frigidaire cabinet steam and see the many complaints. some have even gone so far as to make their own site dedicated to the problems with dishwasher. i am hoping to get a few more months out of this piece of garbage and find something else on sale. a complete waste of hundreds of dollars. so 1 year, 2 replaced circuit boards, should have been 3, replaced cabinet doors and have had a total of 3 weeks of no dishwasher.

Frigidaire Professional Series : FPHC2399KF 36 22.6 cu. ft. Counter-Depth SidebySide Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)EDITED to add comments after 6 months of use:
People continue to curse at the stupid design of the water dispenser, and continue to spill water all over the place. Reducing the star rating from original 3 stars to 2. I would NOT recommend this unit, especially for the asking price. If you can find one on clearance, maybe, but again, there is NOTHING special about this that qualifies it to be priced above $1K imo.
ONE year warranty people...that should tell you something right there.
**********
Replaced a GE fridge with this model:
Due to my space limitations, I narrowed it down to the similar Kitchenaid model (kind of wish I had gone for this), and the Whirlpool at the same level. Bought online sight unseen fwiw.
Honestly, I don't see why the "PROFESSIONAL" designation on this. Nothing about the quality makes me think it's anything other than a very average refrigerator. Cheap, plastic bins just like every other average unit I have seen.
PROS:
- Best thing about this is the good looking AND practical stainless steel finish. It's great really - NO smudging (except on the handles) AND it's magnetic (something rare in SS models).
- "theater" lighting...when you open the doors at night, supposedly it doesn't blind you immediately, but rather gradually, as the lights ramp up
- Has a changeable air filter. I like this...no more arm and hammer boxes taking up space and tipping over. OTOH, another filter to replace.
- External, digital temp controls for both sides. I like the idea of this...but in reality, how often are you going to be changing the temperature? If you have to change it a lot, maybe there is a problem with the thermostat?
- this is a small thing, but I really like that some of the side compartments in the fridge have a non slip surface. Very nice touch. Instead of your jars of jelly sliding around and clanking into each other (except when the door closes, see below), things stay nicely in place.CONS:
- OMG THE DOOR SLAM. This one kills me, and for such a small thing, makes such a big negative impression because it's EVERY time you deal with the fridge. When you close the door, there is NO "cushion" for lack of a better or more technical word. On my very low end GE (and most every fridge out there for that matter), there is a built in governor I guess that slows the speed of the door so it doesn't just slam closed. I think what happens is that the resistance is just greater as you approach the closed position. Whatever that feature is, WP for some reason decided to leave it out on this fridge (maybe none of theirs have this, no idea). It is sooo annoying. We have gotten used to it more or less, and most of the time we carefully and slowly close the door so it doesn't rattle the whole kitchen. But anybody else (who of course is also used to the normal, slower fridge door behavior) closing the fridge door is always startled and usually jumps when the door SLAMS shut with a huge rattle. This is just piss poor design imo, and is a big negative. I am sure we will eventually get used to it, but shouldn't have to.
- another horrible, non standard design implementation re: water dispener. Unless you have an extremely wide cup (think wide coffee mug or even soup bowl/mug, you can't just push your glass into the unit expecting water to hit. Nooooo. Because of the design, any normal rim sized glass will be overshot by the water squirter, so you have to wrap your hand around the glass and then insert, to make up for the space. Never seen another fridge with this problem, and like the door slam issue, because it's so unusual, every time someone not living in our house goes for water, they end up getting it all over them and the floor. That tells you right there it's not just me being picky. I swear they designed the thing and never actually tested it in a real live situation. Inexcusable imo.
Because these two things have relatively easy workarounds, I am not going to go into below average territory. I doubt there is a perfect fridge out there, but I do wish I had gone for the Kitchenaid. I wonder if their engineers made similar mistakes.
3 stars, barely, and that is assuming that this unit will last many years w/o probs.
IMO, look at the Kitchenaid before buying this one.

Danze D404214 Opulence Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet with Spray, Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In reference to the Danze D404214SS Opulence Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet. It looked great so i bought it. Fresh out of the box and installed it had two problems, and eventually as i found out it had four problems.
1. Even when you turn the faucet off it continued to run slightly, unless you really force the handle up. I MEAN REALLY FORCE IT, and it has to be perfectly centered. I MEAN REALLY PERFECTLY! Even so, eventually it will start to run again.
2. Even with the aerator screwed on tight water leaks around and out of the top of the end cap.
The plumber - who is a master plumber chuckled and said...junk. I guess he thought that would make me feel better. I actually called Danze and the rather terse and inconvenienced person (from somewhere far, far to the east of here) said he would send me a "cartridge."
I guess he assumed that I installed faucets for a living. I asked what is a cartidge?, whereupon he said, 'it goes inside". WOW, the clouds parted and sunlight bathed my higher chakras. It was all clear to me.
STERLING CUSTOMER SERVICE DON'T YOU THINK!!
I finally received the cartridge and yes it did correct the leak. A friend of mine has the same faucet and noticed that on his faucet you pull the handle out (away from the stem} to turn it on, while on mine you push it towards the stem. It turns out that not only was the cartridge defective, it was installed upside down! We then corrected the problem...I was quickly becoming a faucet expert!!
Finally the top part of the faucet, the part that revolves, was always very loose. I thought that was the way it was supposed to be, until my friend asked, "why is this so loose". Using a pliers we had to tighten the top screw cap, which in order to keep the faucet correctly tightened required lots of force. enough to mar the finish (yes we did wrap a cloth around it first).
It is regrettable that so many products I have purchased over the past few years are so poorly manufactured. This Danze piece is the last in a long line of Items I now refer to as a POC (pronounced "POCK") which is an acronym for Piece Of Crap. It turns out that POCs are most often MICs (Made In China). Actually I have found as a rule all MICs are POCs, but not all POCs are MICs
Don't let the charm and good looks fool you. I will never order a Danze product again. So there it is...FOUR things wrong with a faucet. i can understand four things wrong with a car, four things wrong with the Space Shuttle, but sheesh...a faucet. If your the type that looks for good looks alone, buy it. If on the other hand you seek a deeper relationship, like a faucet that works...avoid this item. The product sucks and so does customer service.
Addendum - I called Danze again to order a new aerator as it continued to leak. I received it and it leaked just the same. I installed some silicone tape around the thread and that helped.
I am beginning to think I was sold a used product...shame on 3rd party Danny K for selling it to me. I will consider carefully next time when ordering from third party vendors through Amazon.

KOHLER K-16109-4A-CP Revival Kitchen Sink Faucet, Polished Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the worst faucet ever made. My husband is a kitchen and bath designer/installer and he has nothing but problems with this faucet. We bought this faucet for our house 9 years ago before we knew just how bad it was. The handles are constantly turning becuase of the bad design that does not allow tightening of the control valves to the sink. When I turn the water on, the hole spout shakes like it is going to shoot out of the sink. We have ordered numerous parts to amend these issues with no success. I DO NOT recommend this faucet.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the third faucet we bought when we did our kitchen remodel! We tried being thrifty the first time, went too big the second and finally got it right on the third try. We wanted a pull out faucet, but it had to be high enough to easily rinse out large and tall items without pulling it out every time. This one does it all. Pricey? Not for what you are getting. The quality is high. I know it will last for years and years. The look? I fell in love with it at first sight. We did an Art Nouveau kitchen and this faucet with its floral-like lines fits right in. I know if they had the technology to build one like this in the early 1900's they would have done it just like this!

KOHLER K-690-BRZ Vinnata Kitchen Sink Faucet, Oil-Rubbed Bronze Review

(More customer reviews)We installed this faucet on our kitchen sink, replacing our broken three-year-old Moen. It is larger than we thought it would be, but we love the design and functionality. Its movements are fluid and it is well-designed from a practicality standpoint. You can turn it on and off while maintaining the temperature setting, which is very helpful when rinsing or washing items. We look forward to the years of service that we usually get with Kohler products. The hand-held sprayer is awesome, and the hose is longer and beefier than most.

Grohe 32 298 SD0 Ladylux3 Main Sink Dual Spray Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, RealSteel Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this faucet because it looked stylish and came with the well respected Grohe name.
The stainless steel finish on the product is quite nice and the plastic pull-handle matches perfectly (almost no faucets I know of have metal pull-handles).
Installation was surprisingly easy. It required only a wrench or two to tighten water couplings and the included tool to tighten the base to the counter top.
The faucet has an impressive look and it definitely "upgraded" the appearance of our kitchen sink.
There are negatives. And given the number of other stylish faucets out there, the negatives cause me to give this faucet a 2 star rating.
First for the negatives, the spring-loaded pull handle hose is very difficult to pull out of the faucet base and actually use. Likewise, it does not feed smoothly back into the handle. I ended up removing the confounded spring and installing a large metal clamp weight onto the hose. This helped a great deal.
Second, the pull handle doesn't easily slide the last inch back into the base but instead has to be pushed into the base.
Third, the "spray" function on the pull handle is not a locking spray function. So long as you hold down the plastic button, the water will come out in a spray pattern. But as soon as you let go of the button, it goes back to a normal aerated stream. I much prefer pull handles with a locking spray such as the one on my old Hamat.
Fourth, because the sink head sprays water at a direct perpendicular to the sink base, water splatters up very high and all over the counter and faucet base itself. My old Hamat had about a 15 degree angle and thus the water splatter was able to stay contained within the sink. This means the base of my faucet is always covered with water spots unless I wipe it down after every use.
Fifth, the location of the faucet lever on the right side of the product is not nearly as convenient as the less stylish placement on top of a faucet. You can only easily reach it with your right hand and if the faucet is pointed to the right, it impedes your access to the handle.
In this case, style wins over function and we're keeping this faucet. But I think there are better choices in this price range.

Blanco : 513-412 Precis Super Single Bowl, Anthracite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm hard on kitchen sinks - there's no doubt about it. If it's stainless, I'll have it scratched and ugly-looking in no time. If it's porcelon over cast iron, my sink will be dull and scratched. Thus, when it was time to remodel our kitchen after 19 years in this house, I began looking for something more durable than these other two alternatives.
I was intrigued by Blanco's silgranit product, but wanted to do some personal testing. I obtained some sample pieces from a local kitchen and bath showroom; then I brought them home for testing. I hammered one piece, and then tried driving a nail into the product - no damage. I scraped a stainless steel knife across the sample and then tried gouging it - no damage. I attempted to scorch it, using a disposible lighter, then I placed on an electric stove burner that had just been turned off - no damage. I was close to being firmly convinced and, after talking with several granite fabricators who installed these sinks, decided to purchase one.
In talking with the saleswoman with whom I have dealt in the past, I learned several things. Because this sink is deeper than standard double sinks, the drain trap must be lowered. If you cannot do so, this sink is not for you. You should get a compact garbage disposal, otherwise the unit may not fit under your sink. Even though some models of Blanco sinks can be top-mounted as well as undermounted, you may run into problems. The extra thickness added to that of the countertop will not allow you tighten your faucet enough for proper functioning. Thus, while I liked the Blanco sink with the off-center drain, I decided against chancing the problems previously mentioned. Further, drilling out the holes for your fixtures may cause cracks in the sink which would likely not be covered by the warranty.
I purchased the metallic gray sink; it is a dark color which should not become stained by coffee and other foods. When I was visiting various kitchen supply retailers, several had "metallic gray" samples that were lighter - the color of nickle. However, the sample I obtained from Blanco was a much darker color. When the sales woman called Blanco, no one could explain why there was a significant color variation. However, she was told the dark charcoal color is what is currently available.
I chose to purchase my sink locally; our retailers are willing to come close to internet prices. The deciding factor was that the retailer would deal with any issues relating to shipping damage - if it occurred - and would save me time and frustration.
I love this sink. It is deep, easy to care for, and difficult to damage. No more ugly scratched, stained, or dull sink finishes for me!

Blanco : 511-712 Diamond Single Bowl, Anthracite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally got my sink installed about two weeks ago, and I love it. I'm not much of a "sink" person - I don't really notice sinks, never kept my stainless one clean, etc. But, this sink really looks great. I got it to go with my biscotti cabinets and soap stone countertops. It is very deep (my other sink was only ~7" deep) and big - it holds a lot. But, measure very carefully and make sure you check with your plumber and counter installer - this sink was actually too long (back to front) for my standard 24" cabinet. They made it fit, but I only have about 3" in the back for my faucet, and usually you want to have at least 4". Also, you need to be aware of whether a backsplash or window sill will be in the way of your faucet. Another option is to put your faucet off center - to the right or left. If you bump out your sink, you will also have no worries.

Frigidaire F30WR01EC 30-Inch Under-Cabinet Range Hood, Ductless, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent for the price. The only downside would be that the fan on has two speeds and the light only has one setting. My old fan had three setings for the light and fan speed. Other than that, the stainless steel matches my fridge and dishwasher, it looks great!! Compared to other prices, it's excellent!!
