Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall I like the fridge- with its LED water dispenser and clear side trays.However, this refrigerator is criminally small, even for a fridge in its size (22 cu. feet).We have to store our sodas and wine bottles outside since only a few will fit in this fridge at the same time.I am constantly scanning the little shelves, since there is not enough storage in the fridge, and I have no choice but to try to jam things in to fit.
Maytag would be wise to spend a few extra pennies and make this a larger fridge until then I would pass on it.

Electrolux : EI23BC56IS 36 22.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless Steel Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I bought this French door, counter depth Electrolux in late April of this year (2010.) I have to say, I am not happy with this refrigerator at all.

First, it is occasionally very noisy and sounds like popcorn is popping inside. I think this is related to the icemaker, which also doesn't dispense very well at all.

Second, the door design on this unit is terrible. There is a moving weatherseal on the right-hand door that keeps it from just naturally closing. You have to exert a fair amount of force to close it. With the icemaker on the left door (and after years of side-by-side units) the right hand door is the natural one to use to access the fridge. Because of the hinged seal strip, it often doesn't quite close. Why they didn't put the seal on the left door is beyond me. It also doesn't indicate that it is ajar and the icemaker actually makes noise like it is working, but it doesn't engage and dispense ice.

Third and finally, it is extremely easy to cause the freezer baskets to jump out of their mounts and jam up.

I would highly not recommend this unit.

(More customer reviews)Water and ice worked for about 2 minutes, since then I have not been able to get any ice or water from the door.Whirlpool sent some parts and admitted it is a common problem because the waterlines freezes, but it still doesn't work. I attempted to defrost it with a hair dryer for 2 hours but that didn't work either. It freezes produce closing the humidifier slots helps some.The touch panel is fussy it doesn't always register your preference.2 repair calls and it is still not fixed this is a high end disaster. This is a new design and Whirlpool has some serious design work to do on this model.

Hamilton Beach 4200 Premium Hot and Cold Water Dispenser Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just did the initial cleaning as specified in the manual. After reading the previous reviews, I'll put a disposable roaster pan under it in case it leaks. The reason I'm writing this review so soon is that I'm already finding this appliance a bit difficult to use. I don't like the design of the 2 small silicone drain stoppers in the bottom of the unit. They have to be removed and replaced twice each for a cleaning (that's a total of eight operations - 2 removals and 2 replacements for hot and the same for cold). Using needle-nose pliers (as specified in the instructions) I had to do a lot of pulling and twisting to get them to come off. They are delicate and it is difficult to tell how badly they are damaged by this. The result of a damaged stopper under 3 gallons of pressure would be a bad leak. They go on easily enough - its only removing them that's a problem. The unit came with two plugs installed plus three extras. I tore one and was afraid to reuse the other two so now the last two are installed. I've contacted Hamilton Beach and asked for replacements in case I need them the next time I have to drain the unit. They really need to redesign the way this model drains. I bought it as a convenience - I wish it were easier to use.

Frigidaire : FFSC2323LS 36 22.6 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Side by Side Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall we are satisfied with the value of this side-by-side fridge, but there are some drawbacks. PROS: great space and solid construction; real stainless steel doors that magnets will stick to; radiused edges on doors make fridge look smaller than it actually is; LED light on water/ice dispenser is lovely. CONS: loud water pump; no way to lock down roller feet, so fridge tends to roll out of place; water/ice dispenser controller has momentary response delay, which means it's far too easy to end up spilling water or ice on the floor; replacement water filters very expensive and there is no way to bypass the filter with a shunt or cap.

Electrolux EI26SS55GS 25.9 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless Steel Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually have the EI26SS65GS which only differs slightly with the touch controls.

The high point of this refrigerator that makes it stand out from the crowd is that it is fully constructed in stainless steel while the others just have stainless steel cladding in the front but not on the sides.

This makes for a handsome refrigerator since this is not a counter depth model so the sides show.

Both freezer and refrigerator interior has ample storage. The interior lights have a nice effect of being initally dim at first and then fully brightens up.

A good point is the vacation mode you can set that saves electricityby not turning on the defrosting cycle when you are away.

My only grievance is the the design of the ice dispenser which delivers the ice (both cubes and crushed) which such force and intensity that the ice is spilled all over the floor and a clean up is always necessary. My 4 year old kid is so afraid to use it.

The delivery men do not install the water dispenser hose so I had to do it myself and it was somewhat of an effort threading it properly. I mis-threaded the first hose and had to buy an aftermarket replacement at $7. It seems that the original hose is hard to find item.

For the $2,500 we paid for it, we expected that the Ice dispenser flaw would have been discoverd and remedied before production.

FYI: unit made in Mexico.

Electrolux : EW23BC71IS 36 22.6 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French-Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have been on a journey to find a great, stylish and functional counter depth refrigerator. We are replacing a perfectly fine Kitchen Aid side by side that we put in a second home. First, we chose a Samsung side by side, but were not satisfied with it's refrigerator temperature. We set it at 34, but it never seemed cold enough. Milk was never "ice cold" as we were accustomed to. We started monitoring the temperatures, and it was typically around 38-43 degrees. Samsung was unable to remedy this issue, even after sending out a new replacement. Then we chose a GE Profile model, but it was a similar scenario, with wide temperature swings between the setting of 34, and 44 degrees, so a return of the GE was in order after service was unable to remedy it's large temperature swings.

Now, onto the Electrolux. This was a favorite from the start when we were shopping, but we were scared off by some reviews. We decided to go for it anyway, and are pleased with that decision, so far. However, the first one delivered did not cool at all. A service tech was dispatched immediately, and he found that there was a broken line from the compressor, due to damage in shipping, no fault of the unit, and all the refrigerant had escaped. The dealer brought the GE back until another Electrolux could be ordered and delivered.

Upon recieving the second Electrolux, it is performing nicely. Internal temperature is as stated on the Wave Touch Panel at 34 and -4 degrees for the freezer (which, by the way, you can set to show the refrigerator and freezer temps at all times). The units appearance is of good quality, being stainless steel on all sides, sturdy handles, and a modern appearance with Wave Touch Controls, which are easy to use. The doors are simple to align or adjust if needed.

The interior of this unit is 22.6 cu/ft, so as counter depth goes, it is decent. With edgeless glass shelves, ball bearing glides on all drawers, a large temperature controlled drawer with digital programmed settings, 2 good sized slide out bins, and exceptionaly well done LED lighting, this unit's interior is impressive.

We especially like the temperature controlled drawer, which can be adjusted from 28 to 40+ degrees. The drawer is large enough for party platters, and can keep fresh meats at near freezing, or beer can be kept at a very nice 28 degrees, or wines at a favorite selected temperature. The ice maker does take up a fair amount of space, but for ice and water in the door, it is a worth while sacrifice.

The icemaker has had some negative reviews, but so far ours is fine. The cubes are rounded, with a divit. I'm not sure why this is considered "Drink Friendly", but they are nice. One issue is that the cubes seem to come out with some vengence. However, by simply putting your glass or ice bucket close to the dispensing chute...problem solved. We have seen no melted ice puddles in the catch basin. Water dispensing is simple, and functional. We have only had this unit for a few days, so I can't comment on ice production quantity, but it is supposed to be better than most, per Electrolux specifications.

The freezer has 2 deep slide out bins, and 1 shallow one, with dividers and smooth ball bearing slides. One of our wire dividers does not stay in place, but that is no big issue at all. Space is good, and well utilized. Lighting in the freezer is excellent.

If I listen closely, I can hear the unit running, but sound is not obtrusive or noticably louder than any of the other units we have had recently. I would say it is quiet.

Pros: Operates at accurate temperatures set, huge slide out temperature controlled drawer, Exceptionally well done LED lighting and appearance, Wave Touch Controlls, functional use of space. Looks and feels high quality. We finally have really cold milk again.

Cons: High end of price scale, Ice maker takes up some refrigerator space, and some door storage.

Samsung : RFG297AAWP 29 cu. ft. French-Door Refrigerator - White Pearl Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the refrigerator for a month now and it's been nothing but fantastic.There's so many fine touches to this refrigerator you really feel that samsung put a lot into their engineering/design of this fridge.First of all the fridge is huge.I really didn't pay much attention to the bottom freezer design until my girlfriend pointed out the convenience of having the refrigerator section on top.I can't go back to have a top freezer fridge.

The bottom freezer handle has tilt and pull design which I haven't seen in any of the other manufacturers.This means as you pull the handle towards you it tilts and actually pushes away from the frame of the refrigerator.You can see this when you play with the handle.The freezer compartment is intelligently designed to be able to hold whatever you throw at it.It passed the frozen pizza test with an actual slot for sliding them in.

The ice cube maker is inside the refrigerator rather than the door which is preferable in my opinion.This keeps the doors light while being able to hold more ice.You'll also notice that there aren't any rubber seals that rub against each other when you close the french doors.Rather they designed a unique mechanism which is a bit hard to describe.Other refrigerators we've seen had rubber seals that rubbed against each other which is bound for tearing in the future.

The interior layout, deli pantry, and shelves all work well.What's awesome about the refrigerator is the twin cool.Now, I was told by the sales guy this helps with freezer burns.I haven't had anything in the fridge long enough to tell, but for certain it's nice to have that funky smell you get in the freezer when you have one cooler driving air to both compartments.My girlfriend notice her vegetables kept fresh.She commented how you normally have to chop up green onions to keep them fresh but they stayed fresh for two weeks without chopping them.

Cons.Well, there are a few of them but I wouldn't consider them cons but you'll notice them and quickly forgive.The ice maker is a bit loud when it drops the cube.Other than that the fridge is extremely quiet.Did I mention you can set temperature from the lcd panel and things stay extremely cool.Don't open the fridge naked.

(More customer reviews)Let's put it this way, I had a Whirlpool double wide before and bought in to this French door stuff and will never buy one again.Please make sure you consider how you will access you frozen foods.Also consider how much space will be taken in order to get ice and water out the front door.Also note that you have to open both doors most of the time to access most of your foods.Here are the issues with this model:
1) Although the manual shows a onetime leveling mechanism through the wheels, in actuality you have to level it through leveling feet.Thus once you have it level you will have to unlevel it to move the refrigerator to clean.That is a pain and sucks they didn't correct their manual to show it.
2) The website graphics show a dairy bin, but in actuality you don't get one and you can't purchase one.Now we drop our butter in their soda holder which is useless anyways.
3) They give you this soda metal slide out rack that is at an angle for the sodas to roll out.The problem is that we don't have a need for two soda holders.You can't use the rack for anything else except sodas based on it design.We use it now to sloppily hold yogurts.
4) Although this is Energy Star, they have to put a dehumidify heater between the two French doors in order for moisture not to form on the outside of the refrigerator.This is a feature you turn on if needed and it only took a day to realize I have to keep this heater on all the time, so much for energy savings.
5) They use the Ice maker as a way to distribute the cooling into the refrigerator.Unfortunately things are so ergonomically tight that all the milk and water products freeze.The solution has been to raise the freezer temperature up from 0 to 4 degrees and seems to solve the problem.However, it is really just a poor design issue.
I am really disappointed in the poor design of the Whirlpool product and also in the fundamentals of French doors.I am

On 10/11/2005, we had our second service call: "Unit no longer dispenses water."

Needless to say, however, we were not pleased with having to deal with these issues, which spanned a period of five months. In all fairness, the issues were covered by the warranty, which Maytag agreed to extend an additional six months. However, I cannot in good conscience recommend the unit.

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.

NEW Mini-Classic ll Counter Top Pure Water Distiller Review

---

(More customer reviews)Never had a problem with taste or smell with this unit.Don't know what the other reviewer's household environment/starting water quality is like, maybe he should run some hydrogen peroxide through it.Mine gets run daily.People that I've had over, and drank mine, said it was some of the best water they've ever tasted.Distilling removes chlorine, arsenic, and fluoride, but not some of the poisonous organic compounds because they will re-condense.Therefore, I also run it through a "commercial" brand carbon filter after distilling and then put it in the fridge.Add 1/4 tsp of Celtic sea or Himalayan pink salt and aluminum free baking soda to re-mineralize in a 2L jug.

Bodum Ceylon 51-Ounce Iced Tea Maker with Removable Infuser and Bonus Tea Sample Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Iced Tea Maker is great for what it is. However, I could never access any instruction info on Amazon. It wasn't until I received the item that I found the method used to make the tea--You make half a pitcher of hot tea, then add water or ice to chill. It's a good product; I just didn't have full knowledge before. The item is certainly more civilized than the appliance Iced Tea Makers I was trying to avoid.

GE Profile PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with 4 Adjustable Glass Shelves, Internal Water Dispenser, Multi-level Slide 'n Store System and Freshness Center: Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I upgraded from the standard freezer on top and no water dispenser or ice maker and this review is coming from that perspective.

We bought this fridge because of the dimensions that fit our space.We couldn't get the standard 35 3/4 in width fridge.We looked at LG and the thing I like about this fridge is the internal water dispenser.It means that you do not need to lose any interior space.I'm glad I didn't get the LG because the loss of door space would have been a problem.The ice maker is in the freezer (no crushed ice) and works fast.It makes 100 cubes a day.

The interior space seems to be the same actual space as the old fridge but there are many configuration options making better use of the space, possibly.Not sure if it really makes a difference.

The thing I like the most is the fact that I do not need to bend down to see what's in the fridge.

A few other things that I'd like to mention because I have seen them in other reviews:
Noise: More than a fridge without an ice maker not really noticeable.
Energy efficiency: Seems OK.
Stainless steel: Get the stainless steel spray cleaner (not the wipes).Does a great job keeping the prints off.
Ice maker: Cranks out the ice.Once I think the there-is-enough-ice sensor didn't detect that the ice was full.You can turn off the ice maker so no biggie.
Water dispenser: It has an easy to change filter accessible inside the fridge.Water tastes excellent.The first gallon or so had a plastic taste (I also used a plastic water line) but it went away.I hear this is common.
Freezer drawers: There are three.It seems ok.Very different from the old top freezer.I like it but it makes you pack more efficiently so you can slide the drawers.This tends to force you to pay attention to what you have in the freezer rather than just tightly packing it in like in the old days.

Overall I am very happy with the fridge and would recommend it to anyone.I realized that after I bought the fridge that there was a model with an external water dispenser that doesn't take any space away from the interior (ice maker is still in the freezer). Had this been available when I bought it, I may have opted for it.Still I have no regrets.
