GE Profile : PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu.ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

GE Profile : PFSS2MIYSS 22.2 cu.ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
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.

Whirlpool Gold GX5FHDXVQ 36 24.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - White Review

Whirlpool Gold GX5FHDXVQ 36 24.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Got the GX5SHDXV model, similar to the one shown, about a week ago. It was originally $1298 at Lowes, but the floor model had paint scratches, so they marked it down to $1k. Lowes delivered it (an adventure in itself) but I installed it and set it up. So far so good, it's quiet, makes lots of ice quickly, and has the Energy Star qualification that should save $$ on my electric bill.
There is only one gallon storage shelf in the door; I wrote Whirlpool to send me another to replace the can dispenser shelf that I won't use.
The refrigerator drawers slide nicely, as does the freezer compartment drawer.
The paint finish is very good, once I cleaned off all the tape residue from Lowes (why do they do that?) I used auto detailing spray to make it shine.

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWY 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWY 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
RUN, do NOT walk away from this refrigerator. Believe all of these reviews and PLEASE do not waste your money! After tons of research, I'm so regretting my purchase.
What I originally liked about the fridge and why I chose it:
Ice maker is in the door, leaving good space open on fridge shelves.
Has pull out water dispenser for tall glasses and/or sport bottles (nozzle that turns out)
Nice finish
It's a Whirlpool...sure it's expensive but it'll be worth it, right?Icemaker:
Makes very little ice at a time. I saw that issue in another review, but didn't think anything of it because I don't use ice much. The ice maker is so small that it is always VERY loudly making ice. Then the ice melts together into one blob (!)and will barely dispense out...in actual cubes anyway. The left door with the w/ice maker in it is very heavy so within seconds after you open it, it comes right back onto you. This makes it next to impossible to use the deli drawer, since both doors have to be open to pull the drawer out.
Door:
To keep the door from closing in, have tried re-leveling, etc nothing works. The techs who set it up said that it happened to them too. Thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but is actually very annoying trying to hold it open if you need two hands to get stuff out/in the fridge, and it folds in on you. I find myself using the right door only...may as well have my old have my side-by-side back (it was 16 years old and far bypasses this fridge in all aspects)
Motor:
We're on our second fridge in one month because the first one was making strange, loud, whiny-whirring noises each time it cycled on and off. Well, now the second fridge is also doing it. Definitely doesn't sound normal. Of course it's passed the time I can return it now.
Interior:
Compared to other fridges, the shelves and drawers are very plastic-y, cheapish with, rough-edged plastic shelves/drawers..don't look like they'll hold up long.
Finish:
maybe this is the issue with all stainless appliances? No matter what special cleaner I buy for it, the fridge is left with smear marks. Don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong there.
Water Dispenser:
Okay, so the ONLY thing that I like about this fridge is the cool programmable water dispenser. Can allocate three different ounce volumes to fill a glass/bottle. It turns itself off after reaching chosen ounce size.
So, I guess what I essentially have in my kitchen is a $2,200.00 water dispenser!
I don't write many reviews on all the products I buy, but I am making a point to on this fridge because I want to warn others NOT to spend this kind of money on something that in NO way lives up to what quality it should be. There are plenty of other options out there. Samsung for one seems to do really well. Hard to believe that Whirlpool can sell these fridges in good conscience. It's too late for me but not for you :-) Good luck

Fisher & Paykel : E522BRXU Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator (Right Hinge) Review

Fisher and Paykel : E522BRXU Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator (Right Hinge)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought my house, and found that the previous owners had done their own kitchen remodel which left a really strange size cutout for the fridge. It took me weeks to find this one which (as far as I can tell) is the only counter depth and narrow refrigerator. Anyway, it is a good fridge. No complaints. The fridge is cool looking, but the only reason that I can think someone would buy this one is for size. If you aren't restricted by size, I would look at a wider fridge.
Good things to know... There is an inline water filter (works good, easy to change), ice maker doesn't take up too much room, the fridge is counter depth (they don't advertise it as such but you can tell by the dimensions and the back is flat). The inside is small but the fridge doesn't look freakishly small. Oh, the ice maker is temperamental; it doesn't bother me but if you love ice this could be a problem.
Almost no one carries these; if you need to "see" it I found a Samsung at the big box retailers that is about the same size. If more than two people live in your house, or you like to buy big soda bottles, etc., maybe take a peek at something with similar dimensions before you buy.

With a Fisher & Paykel appliance you gain the benefit of 70 years of appliance innovation. Established in 1934 with an enterprising spirit, Fisher & Paykel has developed an innovative culture that challenges conventional appliance design. Rethinking how to store and preserve food, Fisher & Paykel was on a mission when it created Active Smart, an advanced refrigeration system. Active Smart uses unique electronic intelligence to continuously monitor and adapt its cooling conditions, adjusting the flow of cold air based on daily use and climate conditions. So it's not working overtime or under par, just smarter and more efficiently. Even the produce bins provide maximum care. Humidity controls keep lettuce green, herbs garden-fresh and fruit crisp for up to two weeks. What about the homemade gazpacho in the refrigerator, or the just churned ice cream in the freezer? Independent sensors accurately monitor temperatures in both compartments to maintain the safest most precise temperature. Active Smart technology has been given a new addition, an integrated water dispenser providing you with chilled filtered water and an internal ice maker for clean, crisp ice cubes on demand. With no impact on space in the freezer or refrigerator door, this is the perfect addition to the Active Smart family.

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWB 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Black Review

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWB 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've had our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude (model GI7FVCXWB) refrigerator for three months. We purchased it in February of 2010. We give this refrigerator a five star rating.
This refrigerator is everything we wanted. We love that we no longer need measuring cups for adding water to a recipe. The door shelves are wide enough for gallon bottles. Both the refrigerator and freezer are huge. We had a second freezer because the top freezer on our previous refrigerator was so small. I have unplugged the second freezer because it is no longer needed.
The ability of the ice maker to dispense cubes or crushed ice is great. Although I've seen some complaints regarding the noise level of the ice maker, it is no louder than any other refrigerator ice maker. The noise level does not draw your attention to it nor does it drown out conversations or cause any other distress.
My only complaint is with the Owner's Manual. The refrigerator has a door ajar alarm. Unfortunately, the Owner's Manual does not provide good instructions for turning the alarm on. Once, I figure out how to set the door ajar alarm, we will have no concerns with our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude.

KitchenAid KFIS27CXMS Architect Series II 26.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

KitchenAid KFIS27CXMS Architect Series II 26.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our old fridge died and gave us the impetus for a kitchen remodel. So in a pinch and without a fridge I bought the KFUS27CXMS sight unseen. I was hesitant given the reviews about noise and doors closing, but suffice to say I haven't had issue with either.
It's not whisper quiet, but my bedroom is right behind the wall where it is installed (1960s house, no internal insulation) and I can't hear the fridge at all from there. In the kitchen when the compressor comes on you can hear it, but it's no where near as bad as I had expected from reading the reviews. It's quieter than my old Kenmore it replaced so for me the noise is a non-issue.
The door works fine on mine as well. They are easy to close and require no additional effort. I can give them a little push and let them swing closed on their own momentum, no need for a second push to make sure they are secure.
I will report back on the ice maker after I few more months of service and update my review if I find issue there.

My refrigerator is 2 1/2 years old. The ice maker is a huge problem. With poor ice insulation, ice always clumping together. Exterior easily dents, and shows hand & finger smudges.
The refrigerator just stopped working. Freon leak, location unknown and it will cost approximately $700, if they can locate the leak. LG won't stand by their product. I think it's poor quality and I don't trust this unit. Freon leak in my kitchen!! Don't bother asking them to stand by their product, I just got "We can do nothing for you, mam." Don't buy LG or this model, unless you purchase the extended warranty $$$$.
