BW1000A Flojet Bottled Water Dispensing System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is a great way to connect a refrigerator to a bottled water system. A few suggestions if you are considering the purchase of this unit or a similar solution where you need to connect bottled water to your fridge:
1. ITT (Flojet) also makes a "dual" bottled water system which allows you to connect two five gallon water bottles at the same time. They call this the "Dual Inlet Bottled Water Dispensing System" and the model number is BW1020A. If you intend to run both the refrigerator's icemaker and water dispenser and you use a lot of water, consider the dual system. I bought the dual inlet model instead and I'm glad I did, we go through a lot of bottled water since we can't really drink the well water here...
2. In our house, the kitchen shares a wall with the garage, and we were able to easily drill a hole and run the 1/4" line through the wall - this keeps the Flojet pump in a different room and makes changing the bottled water easier since we store it in the garage anyway. If you have the opportunity to setup your system this way, I highly recommend it. Having the pump in a different room is important because the pump is loud when running, and since the icemaker will kick in and out at various times it is nice to have the pump located elsewhere. I don't think I would be happy with this solution if the pump had to be inside the kitchen since the noise would be a real problem.
3. Since virtually every refrigerator with a water connection uses the 1/4" tubing line, and since this unit includes 20' of 1/4" tubing, you don't really need anything to connect this to a refrigerator except for a 1/4" tubing union, which is not included. You could get one at your local hardware store, but Amazon has them and they are Prime eligible, here is the link: Celcon Acetal Copolymer "Push to Connect" Tubing Connector - Union Connector , 1/4". These are the easiest possible connectors to use, just push the tubing in on both sides and you're done. Here is another example of a 1/4" union: JACO Bulkhead Union - 1/4 inch Tube O.D. Female x 1/4 inch Tube O.D. Female just in case that one is gone...

Countertop Portable Ice Maker - EdgeStar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little jewel has been a blessing to a small family that enjoys ice cubes in all of our drinks, especially water. The unforseen disadvantage is that you must manually fill the unit with water every couple of days. The advantage, however, is that if you use filtered or bottle water the ice cubes are tasteless. In fact, as the ice cubes melt in water, they remain pure and tasteless because they do not share the air of refrigerator the way an automatic ice maker that is built in does. So the ice melts, but you can just add more cubes without tasting all the flavors within your refrigerator.
Sits on the counter top and purrs away making plenty of ice for a family of four.
Terrific product.

Portable Countertop Ice Maker - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this product for 7 months. I've used it regularly & had absolutely no problems at all with it. Except for the initial start up (which only lasts a couple of minutes) it runs quietly. It makes ice fast, the first batch is usually ready within 5-10 minutes and each successive batch takes about 4-6 minutes on medium sized cubes.
I use the medium sized cube setting, though there isn't a lot of difference between the 3 sizes. The ice will be wet because this is an ice maker, not a freezer. This isn't a problem if you are going to use the ice right away. It comes with a handy little scoop too. If you want to store the ice for later use, you will need to freeze it before adding it to an ice dispenser. I just pour the ice into gallon sized zipper freezer bags & stash them away. It's simple to separate the cubes after they've hardened up a bit. I usually pour them into the ice dispenser in my refrigerator freezer at that point.
I bought this ice maker because we have a big family & lots of guests and our ice maker in the refrigerator freezer has trouble keeping up with demand. This is the perfect solution. You can make ice quickly as needed or make it & store it ahead of time.
We keep it out on the counter all the time. Most people think it's a bread maker. I have found it to be quick, quiet & dependable. I'm very satisfied with it. For the money spent on it (less than $200 including shipping) I consider it one of the best appliance investments I've ever made.

GE Icemaker Kit, IM-6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a SS GE Profile refrig/freezer in 2002. The refrig was super quiet, except when the IM-4 icemaker cycled. The IM-4 could be heard from the next room. After having a new floor installed, the contractors must have damaged something in the rear of the icemaker (pump). I replaced with the new IM-6. After checking my connections and looking for puddles, I had to continue to look inside the freezer to see if it was working. The IM-6 is so quiet, I could not hear the cycling. The only sound that was heard was the ice dropping into the empty bucket. Finally a quiet ice maker for my quiet refrigerator! Good job GE.

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

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

Danby DIM1524W Designer Ice'nEasy Portable Ice Maker with LCD Display, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, the Danby Ice N Easy makes ice as quickly as it advertises and you don't need a drain. However there are several things that you might want to know before buying one of these babies...
1. The ice tastes like plastic - I tried vinegar, baking soda and flushing the icemaker with gallons of water, but no joy.
2. The ice melts very quickly - it's not hard ice like you get from an icemaker that lives in your freezer. This has a nasty problem of then making your drink taste like plastic as well.
3. It frequently runs into problems like ice cubes getting lodged in places they shouldn't be, which automatically shut off the system until you attend to it - which means, it stops making ice.
4. When the bin gets full, the unit stops making ice. OK, this makes sense. However, there is no freezer unit in the icemaker, so the ice melts. If you don't need ice for several hours, then all you will have is a melted ice blob because the unit doesn't seem to sense when the ice has melted enough to start making more.
So, unless you enjoy watered down plastic tasting drinks as well as attending to the icemaker on an hourly basis to make sure that everything is still working, I would recommend against this machine and others like it. You just can't get good ice without a freezer component. Maybe this thing is good for boaters that just don't have any other options, but for the home I really wouldn't put up with it.

Refrigrator Automatic Ice Maker Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you buy this part, make sure you give it 24 hours to work. I was expecting it to start working right away as soon as I installed it. I was very frustrated when I didn't see the dial start to spin when installed. I actually took the part out and sent it back thinking it was defective. Well it turns out the part has an internal thermostat that has to get cold to the right temperature in order to kick the icemaker on. They failed to leave out this very important bit of information. The common lay person would never know this. So don't send it back, give it 24hrs to work!

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

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.
