Amana : NFW7200TW 27 Front-Load Washer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I conducted a LOT of research before we decided on this Amana front load washing machine. Our 13 year old Kenmore top loader finally died, and we were in the market for a quality washing machine in the four hundred to eight hundred dollar range or so. 'Consumer Reports' rated this machine highly, as did actual owners/users of it on various other sites, including Home Depot's. Even if the reviews may be 'carefully culled' (as a previous reviewer stated), certainly the excellent user reviews on the 'Consumer Reports' website were not. There were many negative reviews written up for other washers on that site as well. In any case, we were smitten by the price, features, and excellent reviews the Amana garnered, so purchasing this machine was a 'no brainer'. It uses much less electricity and water than a conventional top loader, has an automatic reservoir dispenser for laundry detergent, fabric softener, and bleach, and a second rinse cycle, as well as a 'quick wash' and other longer washes, which is perfect. Our clothes and comforters (full and queen sized) came out smelling great, and best of all, the spin cycle got our clothes the driest i've ever seen in all my years of using commercial and residential washing machines. Consequently, drying time has been cut down substantially. The 'knob issue' that some people bring up is really a 'non issue', since you can re-start the washer by re-pressing the knob if you accidentally bump into it. But truth be told, unless your laundry room is extremely cramped, or you have to reach over and above the washing machine to get something off a shelf, most people will never bump the washer to the off position. Also, the previous reviewer's mention of the washer not turning off is nonsense. Of course the washer turns off when the spin cycle ends. The LED indicators that stay on are just there to remind you that the wash is done, and that you have to open the door and retrieve your laundry. This doesn't mean the machine is actually on. It is not. Another non-issue. All in all, my wife and I are ecstatic and floored by the cleaning ability and sheer value afforded by this phenomenal machine! Amana truly hit a 'home run' with this unit in all respects. If you don't believe me, go read all the online reviews, including 'Consumer Reports'. Buy with confidence.

Fisher Paykel : RF201ADUX 36 20.1 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is honestly the best refrigerator I've ever owned. The counter-depth cabinet integrates well into the kitchen, the surfaces are easy to keep clean, and the functionality is terrific. The shallow but wide refrigerator compartment puts everything right in view at eye level and the bottom freezer bin allows frozen stuff to be stacked up without the risk of it falling out on your foot. You have the convenience of chilled water through the door without the mechanical challenges of an ice dispenser.
I do have some minor quibbles. The door shelves and bins are almost - but not quite - big enough for a gallon of milk or an 18-pack of eggs. An extra quarter inch or so there would be welcome.
And then there's the icemaker. It doesn't make a ton of ice (a dozen small cubes every 3 hours or so), but it's plenty for my family, so I'm not taking points off there. The problem is that the feed tube tends to freeze up. It's an easy fix - there's a small heater that eliminates the problem - and it's covered under warranty. But still. The tech says the manufacturer leaves the heater off in order to get an Energy Star rating; sounds to me like removing a spark plug to increase gas mileage.
These quibbles would ordinarily make me give the fridge 3.5 - 4 stars, but the other reviews are so unfair that I figured a bump is in order. Seriously, somebody's slamming this fridge because his dryer didn't work? And another review complains about the unit because the repair guy didn't have parts in his truck? Seriously, those are problems with the dryer and the repair guy; there's nothing wrong with the fridge. According to the guy who came out to fix my icemaker, this is a well-made and reliable refrigerator. I recommend it.

Samsung : WF448AAP 4.5 cu. ft. Steam Front Load Washer - Stainless Platinum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased the matching dryer to go with this washer and they are fantastic! They are quiet, fast, and energy efficient. We purchased the drawer bases which give you more storage and raise the machines up waist level so you don't have to bend down when loading and unloading.
The only issue we had was with the brass "Y" included with the steam dryer for the cold water faucet. It leaked, but Samsung sent a replacement the next day!
We gave away an 8 year old set of Maytags that worked, but were both noisy...good ridence! These are so quiet and do a better job cleaning and drying our clothes than any set we have owned before. We have had GE, Kenmore, and Maytag. All good products, but these Samsung products are so far superior, it isn't even funny!
And don't let the "NASA" designed controls fool you, they are very easy to use with preprogrammed settings (e.g. whites, towels, perm press, etc.). And the steam in both the washer and dryer allow you to remove wrinkles and sanitize your clothes. This washer also has the ability to remove 99% of bacteria in cold water using silver ions.
Don't let our 5 star rating and the other person's 1 star rating make up your mind. We researched Consumer Reports and other web sites and read lots of consumer opinions before making our decision. Plus you get an energy credit on your taxes for purchasing these Samsung products!
One recommendation, purchase the extended warranty as these are high tech with digital controls. Ours are protected for 5 years along with a "lemon" warranty. If the other consumer who gave 1 star had purchased this, they could have already replaced the defective unit or got their money back. Although we are suspicious seeing that Samsung give a 1 year warranty and they claim they can't get Samsung to do anything about their washer...so do your research before writing off this product. We highly recommend this washer although it was the most expensive one we researched...worth every dollar!
