Best Kodi Builds For Usa (2025 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is an extremely frustrating waste of $150. Do not buy this product. There are numerous competitors that do almost the exact same thing but with a little bonus: they might actually turn on.

I’ve had this device for less than 12 months. At first, all was well, and the video quality looked good and had wide compatibility. At first the Shield refused to turn on every now and then, possibly just to keep me on my toes.

I could get around this with a hard reset: unplugging the power cable and waiting a ten count before rebooting. This worked intermittently for a few more months before the device simply bricked. It output no audio and no video, making it only suitable as an extremely expensive and poorly shaped doorstop.

Merely figuring this out was itself a chore as the Shield has absolutely no external lights, indicators, or otherwise to communicate its status. Once I ruled out the cable (tested) and the TV (tested) only the Shield remained the problem.

NVIDIA did send a replacement. This lasted all of 1 month (bringing the total number of months I got out of this $150 purchase to a whooping 10) before dying exactly like its predecessor. Perhaps not “exactly like,” as this 2.

0 unit skipped the hard reset phase and went straight from operational to bricked. This is a completely unacceptable level of QC or build quality from a $150 product. NVIDIA could – and should – send another, but that would do little to mitigate the immense frustration of an extensive steaming box utterly failing at doing the single most basic tasks for which it was designed.

Do not buy this. If you want to get the same experience, turn off your TV and look at the black screen. Burn $150 in a small pile next to you. There you have it.

IšverstiShow in original languagePros: Fast, good selection of apps, Cons: Forces ads in your face, bad design, expensive, and accessories cost extra. The remote won’t lay flat, the cylindrical device itself would roll of the table if not plugged in, I can’t reach the SD card slot without tweezers, and playing games on it is a hassle to the point where I haven’t really bothered- I played around with Steam Link, and it worked.

ok. Maybe fine for a turn-based game. The main reason I’m writing this review is that this thing is EXPENSIVE. Compared to rokus, firesticks, or other android TVs, this thing is just plain pricey, and what do you get for it? It is fast, loading stuff goes nice and quick.

But the remote isn’t great, and it also lacks things like the ability to plug in headphones for private listening. A huge issue though, is are the ads. A third of the screen is taken up with ads for shows that I didn’t pick, on services I don’t have.

NVIDIA claims this is all google’s doing, and they can’t do anything about it. My guess is that about 150 bucks from you isn’t enough, and they wanted an extra dollar from google ads. Either way, they’re not interested in fixing it, so it looks like that’s how it is from now on, just like how you’ve got a big branded NETFLIX button on your remote.

Why? A buck from Netflix, I guess. If you simply must have “the best”, and are willing to devote a few hours to fixing it out of the box, go for it. If you’re hoping for the best streaming right out of the box, I’d buy a roku stick and wait for something better to come along.

IšverstiShow in original languageIve had my eye on this for about a year now, continuously adding and removing from my cart. Never went down in price but finally did for Black Friday (even though only $20).

I initially had a Firestick 4K which I purchased because my 2015 Samsung 4K tv smart features were beginning to slow down considerably and was getting annoyed so decided to go external. Chromecasts also annoyed me and roku was too expensive when comparing to Firestick.

I was, and still am a fan of the firestick 4k and its an excellent choice for budget 4k streaming device. Super simple and just worked. However, there was alot of content that was primarily in 1080p and not 4K and felt I was losing value from my tv (which still has a great picture).

Thats when I came across reviews of this and its 4K Upscaling, so I knew this was what I was needing. Purchased this, got home and immediately plugged it in. Booted right on up and was able to add all of my apps with no problem at all.

Signed into google which had all of my passwords saved for all of my streaming apps so didnt even have to manually input the login info for majority. Huge perk there. Decided to watch Mandalorian (which is already in 4k) and it of courses looked amazing.

Went onto Hulu and watched some horror flick which def wasnt 4K but this thing did an excellent job upscaling to make little details pop much more than usual. Extremely happy with how this thing works.

Only con I had, and it might of been my controller, was the bluetooth function. Tried 2 xbox controllers that would not sync at all. Finally tried my Elite Series 2 and it did after about 2-3 mins of searching.

Not sure why the previous 2 newer controllers didnt work, they have synced to my phone via bluetooth no problem so I know its not the controller. Gaming on it worked, atleast for the android games. Had some issues with Geforce Now but thats because I dont have the worlds best internet and also wasnt a premium user.

Nice perk to have and can see it being useful if I want to travel but of course dont want to lug around a PC or console. Much easier porting around this tube (plus get my own streaming services) than a big device.

Overall im happy with the purchase as I would say im a heavy user and enjoy top of the line gadgets and this is by far the best streaming device ive used. $150 is extremely steep though and hard to justify for average or even some heavy users.

I got at $130 and that’s still steep for what it really is compared to other options on the market. I believe $100-120 is much more fair. If youre just into streaming content, I believe the Firestick 4k or new 4K Chromecast may be a better option, but if youre a heavy user that wants top of the line and also potential for gaming, this will be a great addition to your entertainment center.

The first 5 ingredients are “Deboned chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, oatmeal, barley”. That’s so much better than some other options out there on the market. My husky loves her blue buffalo! She had an issue with loose bowel movements and when we switched to this they are now normal.

I also love that it includes fish oil which means it has omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to help my growing pup with her eyes, joints, cognitive function, skin and coat health. It is a little rough on the wallet, but you get what you pay for sometimes.

I will add, my puppy loves this specific kind (chicken and brown rice) but her dad doesn’t like it at all (but does like the other blue buffalo dry foods). I’m still doing my research on healthy options in terms of healthy puppy growth, ingredients, and wallet friendly options.

But so far, this is my go to.

I’ve been a Blue customer for MANY years. Tho in those years I had no puppies, ergo no need for puppy food. Well, we now have 2 8wk old Great Pyrenees pups in our home. We’ve always researched out dogs’ kibble.

As quality kibble may be a lil more expensive than other brands, but it saves you in health issues with your fur baby. OK, so the puppy kibble is perfectly sized for puppies. It doesn’t make a mess. The puppies LOVE it.

It’s helped firm up their stool to a perfect consistency. We can see by their growth that they clearly are getting the right nutrients. Their coats are nice and shiny. I love the fact that the bag tells people that they should space out feedings for puppies for 3-4 feedings with the right food measurement.

Its esp important for large breed dogs to do this while young, to help prevent “bloat” or “Twisted” stomachs – WHICH Is NOT cheap to fix BTW. We’ve always had large breeds, and regularly check all of the dog food quality that we feed our beloved Beasties.

as companies change you know? We’ve been happy with the consistent quality of Blue Buffalo for our adult and senior dogs and now our puppies. Blue uses quality chicken products and none of the garbage fillers ingredients.

There will always be fillers, but you may want to google some of the ingredients found in other dog kibbles – especially for your puppy. They’re like human babies, you want them to have proper bone & muscle development – as well as brain function.

I recommend this kibble for anyone with a large breed pup.

We took on a nearly impossible task at raising 3 pure boxer breed puppies, that were all pups at the same time. Time management? Slim. Crazy zoo life? Achieved. If you follow me, you know I have a TON of Animals but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My pups have all been on this food since day 1. Being that one is AKC registered and the two others are CKC registered they are already such healthy breeds and were well taken care of from birth. This is the formula we love, I will stick to it Once all pups hit their 1st birthdays we will switch them all at the same time to Blue Adult Dog.

But I am going to enjoy my last few months of my little pups until they all are big adult doggos♥️ SIDE NOTE!! LOVE LOVE the life bits that are included with extra vitamins 👍🏼.

I have had Google Fi service for 4 years now. I love Google as a company but more importantly, I trust Google and have learned I can rely upon and trust the company to be the best in the industry. Whether that is search, mobile coverage, or hardware, Google is top tier.

Unlike other top-tier companies that rhyme with Snapple, Google passes the value they bring from their tech, to us and a rate and quality on a tier of their own. Value, proven track record, great service.

Get it.

Fi has been great so far – premium connectivity across the country, free hotspot tethering, transparent pricing. It’s easy to switch plans and to add members to your group plan. The app also works great.

Love it!.

I switched to Google FI unlimited group plan from MetroPCS a few months months ago. Now I no longer have to buy a separate SIM card when I travel abroad, a feature that I believe is unique to FI. I also like how my incoming spam calls are blocked.

I love this sink. I wanted a sink that drained well as I have had a few modern (boxy) stainless sinks that didn’t and the pooling water bothered me. Not an issue with this sink. It is sloped to the drain and works perfectly.

Love the white and all the accessories included in the price. I ordered the suggested cleaner and it works great for removing surface dirt and what I thought were stains. It has a really nice, smooth finish.

I would definitely buy this sink again.

We have lived in our new kitchen only two months and our Riverby already has two chips on the side that did not come with a bottom rack! One chip is from when I accidentally knocked a bottle off of the counter into the sink and it created a large chip.

The second chip is a mystery as we have been avoiding putting anything but food for the garbage disposal on that side knowing it is so fragile. Now I have twenty years to look at these two chips and worry about more.

I wish I had gone with stainless steel! We are very particular and careful and live very cleanly. This is so dissapointing! It says that it is chip resistant. Don’t believe it!.

The sink is very nice. Heavy and solid. Their delivery through the carrier used was terrible. Dropped off at the end of my long drive way and I live alone. It weighs over 100 lbs. There was well over 2000 dollars worth of merchandise left at the end of my driveway.

AND all the accessories for this Riverby sink were missing. I need someone to contact me about the missing items as soon as possible.

I have been using Google fi service for a few years but turned the services for the month I travel internationally. Decided to switch over permanently to fi after testing the service for a month to make sure I received coverage on my daily commute and other places I go.

I purchased this for my iPad pro 5th gen. It worked fine Google says it’s not supported but it works fine on my iPhone 13 pro max and and iPad. Only down fall is no 5g or wifi calling on Apple devices but testing speeds around my area.

LTE service was on same level as my 5g services (Verizon). Only places Verizon beat them was in true 5g UW coverage in the city or airport but I was able to stream 1080 even 4k youtube just to test it out.

I like that I can just pause the service on my iPad anytime. Also the luxury to switch plans at anytime. I know google fi isn’t the cheapest or the best plan but if you do any international travel highly recommend it.

But none of the big 3 companies offer anything close to unlimited international data. Also support was easy. I used the online support to transfer my number over took 15 mins and I was up and running Even if you don’t switch over permanently.

Just turn it on before you leave the country and pause the service when you come back. Now every 90 days you have to pause the service but not big deal in my book. I see some people complain about be charged for calls.

Easy way around that. If you use an iPhone to iPhone use facetime with the video or most places I been everyone uses whatsapp so never had an issue. Hopefully 5g and wifi calling make it to iPhones. It’s all im missing.

Best move ever after being with AT&T for 20+ years. Android user experience is excellent. Almost no spam calls since moving. Tested iPhone as well. iPhone users have some setup for sms/mms, but iMessage works out of the gates.

Also iPhone voicemail moves to dial-in or via the Google Fi app instead of in the phone app. Don’t even need this if your phone supports esim. Check Google Fi site for phone support. Overall, extremely happy switching.

Google Fi app is easy to use, porting took seconds after transfer initiated. But review the pros and cons for yourself (some listed below). No stores, limited phones that are designed for Fi. Using an AT&T Pixel 4 XL works well.

Note: special Google versions of phones get best results. Still waiting for my Google Pixel 6 that’s backordered. Support was fast via chat and easy.

Signed up for a family plan using three SIM Kits. I didn’t see instructions for how to do this, but I seem to have stumbled through. So it can be done. And the advantage is that you don’t have to wait for SIMs to be sent to you.

After I signed up, Google was still going to send me three free SIMs. But cancelling those was a simple click on a link in an email. The $30 total cost of buying the SIMs in store was reimbursed via reduction in the first month bill.

I transferred from Sprint before being switched to TMobile. I like TMobile service, but not too happy with the continuing security breaches. Google Fi service seems as good. I set up Google pay with a credit card, but didn’t have to give my SSN or any of the other stuff TMobile has had stolen from them.

I’d give five stars but for the lack of instructions or some sort of description of the process of signing up for a family plan using multiple SIM Kits.

Excellent phone. It has buttons in the built-in settings so that one (get it) can easily unlock bootloader to therefore install twrp, root, and flash the rom of your choice (optional, but root is not.

). Love it. LineageOS 15. 1 bumps the latest droid 8. 1 essentially and I’ve literally got a full rom update every single day since I twrp’d it. You must install gapps (I used pico) to use the gps. I then removed the playstore and it’s associated services except for GSF and the tts engine, neither of which are allowed internet access.

Though on google’s ‘android’ clusterfluck compilation who knows if that is even possible. I will say this, LineageOS does not need mods to the default apk’s other than maybe your own gui preferences such as a txt mssge ap of choice, per se.

Bought the Tudia rugged case, removed the plastic front and installed a real piece of glass overlay (tyvm sir) and this case and phone now rocks. The phone is super fast compared with anything that runs the original droid 442 stuff and as well gets all the latest updates to anything available because of this as well which was the reason I bought it.

A year ago this phone would have been in the 300$ range. Without root you are essentially not the owner or even in control of whatever you own. Other manufacturers who makeit difficult or impossible to root are not even worth one’s (get it?) time.

After years of being a Sony fan and after many failures of the Sony phones, whether it was my Z3, Z5, M series and now my XZ. I liked the Sony design, the way they worked and the fact they were waterproof.

But after many years of being loyal, I decided to research a replacement. The OnePlus brand read very well and previous owners were very complimentary about their phones. I decided to give it a try, albeit a second hand item.

All I can say is that I’m bowled over by my experience. It works incredibly smoothly and very fast. The battery charges in no time and lasts a full day. I use the phone at work, so it does get used all day.

I’m so impressed by how simple things are and I’m no longer getting frustrated by my mobile. Only downside that I can see is that the 3t is only splash proof, where the Sony was waterproof. That said, there are numerous YouTube videos showing the 3t in water for a full minute with no adverse effects.

I’m not going to test mine, but it seems as though they are very sturdy. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend the phone. The 5/5t, 6/6t must surely be amazing too. The OnePlus forum is full of owners who cannot praise their phones enough.

I’m now one of the firm followers. Thank you OnePlus for doing a stunning job.

as a phone it did work I guess, but when I tried to connect it to my computer it refused. my computer said windows does not recognize this connection. I tried three different computers because I thought it may be my computer, it wasn’t , I tried different cords, no luck.

So then I downloaded updated drivers, same response, I downloaded an app called Android Studio hoping it could help me, no luck there. I googled the problem on internet and found that this is a common malady of this particular phone and I tried everything they suggested with no luck.

I gave up and asked for my money back. a USB connection to my computer is the only way I know of to get files like songs, photos, video from computer to phone. when all I tried failed I decide I did not want the phone since most of its usefullness was not workable.

I bought this for my grandson and without being able to put his files on it, he said he did not want it.

We bought one for our first home because the electric company was offering a rebate and we wanted to make our home a little smarter. We did like it, but beware that your local HVAC person hates these things.

It was easy enough to install that we did it ourselves with no issues. However, these do not use/require your “c” (common) wire. What does that mean? Instead of providing continual, low voltage power, without the common your system takes a big gulp of power when starting up your heating/cooling.

The ease of controls were nice and I liked that I could monitor and control the temperature from my phone (for my pets) while away at work. What I did NOT like was the “away” setting itself. Basing on your phones location, it goes into either eco or the minimum/maximum temperatures that you set but their is not a lot of leeway to choose those.

For example, we went on vacation so no one’s phone was near the house but we had the pets there and a sitter coming 3x a day to check on them. Our setting was 68 at all times. Because of “away” mode, the sitter informed us our thermostat was reading 80 now – no good, especially in Louisiana because of the heat and humidity! The system was working fine, it just sensed that we were away and wasnt running (trying to save energy?) to maintain temperature settings.

It would also start these “energy saving campaigns” on its own and ignore its settings and just stay at eco all the time at some times. It ended up adding a small bit value to our home when we sold the house, so thats a plus but we don’t necessarily miss it.

We didn’t see a significant amount of savings on our electricity. I would like to try another smart style thermostat in our new home but maybe not the smartest one that is programmed to outsmart you and thinks it knows best.

After having this device for about 7 months I can safely say that this device is not what it’s all cracked up to be. Aesthetically it looks really nice on my wall, gives it a pretty modern look. Also being able to control the climate via phone is pretty handy but other than that it’s not very useful.

First it’s auto scheduling is very unpredictable and impractical. As a person that already keeps the thermostat at 78 degrees there doesn’t seem to be anything this thing can do to save energy while also keeping the house at a comfortable temperature.

It will try to put the house a 83 degrees sometimes and you have to switch it back up. The auto scheduling will eventually switch it back down and it’s a constant fight with this device, which ends up using more power to cool the house 6 degrees.

If you try to set up your own schedule like turning down the AC during peak hours, it will make its own with worse temperatures at random times. At the end I have not seen a change in my electric bill compared to last years kWh usage after 7 months with me allowing it to auto schedule.

Despite the uncomfortable temperatures it set my house too. I ended up turning it off, which defeats the purpose then it just becomes a regular $30 thermostat for $250. Luckily my local electric company has a rebate program that gives you a $85 credit to your bill which brings down the price but not enough to justify the cost compared to my old thermostat.

Your better off just keeping your thermostat at 78 and just leaving it there because it’s more energy efficient to keep a house cool that to cool it down from a high temperature.

I bought this unit to upgrade from Gen 2 because it can both make use of the sensors and it has dual-band WiFi for a stronger signal. It was very easy to install, it looks great, and it’s very intuitive to use, either on the wall, with your phone, or via a voice assistant.

I’ll ding it a little bit because the sensor schedule—that is, when the device can be told to use which sensor—can’t be customized. You have 4 pre-set blocks to choose from, and that’s it. But then the trouble started.

First I got a dreaded W5 error, meaning it’s WiFi radio was no longer working. I contacted Google for a replacement, which arrived promptly… but it kept getting caught in a boot loop and I couldn’t set it up.

A second replacement arrived and wouldn’t correctly read my (very straightforward!) wiring, despite the fact that the one with the W5 error still could. The third replacement had the same issue, at which point I was advised to spend $130 to have a technician inspect my system to verify it was in fact the thermostat that wasn’t working.

So after 6 total hours on the phone with customer support and HVAC technicians, and 3 replacement thermostats, I finally got my fourth one: an ecobee. I had it on and functioning in 20 minutes. My experience is probably very far outside the norm.

I most likely just had a run of bad luck; I know when I see reviews like this for something I have maybe already talked myself into, I think, “ah but that’s just one guy; he’s unlucky or he did something wrong; that won’t happen to me.

” And it probably won’t! But given the sheer number of issues I encountered—from failing components to annoying limitations to inept and sometimes contradictory customer support (who, at the end of the day, are call-center employees and decidedly *not* HVAC technicians)—I’d urge you to strongly consider other smart thermostats.

This one is just not worth the risk or the headaches.

This is my very first 65″ and 4K TV. The QN60B Samsung QLED 4K Smart TV is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly thin. Before I even did setup, just after installing it on the wall, I noticed that after using my Samsung phone, the TV had automatically recognized and connected to my Samsung soundbar through the software.

It recognized the series and everything. It automatically switched the volume over to the soundbar so that my Samsung TV remote volume buttons actually control the soundbar and not the TV volume. I didn’t have to download another app or find some deep-hidden setting.

It also easily connected to my Amazon account and for the first time, I can change my volume just by telling Alexa!!! The ease of having everything pretty much connect itself was amazing, no having to dive too deep into a manual or have to find some loop hole to get something to work.

One word for this TV? EASY! All of this in and of itself was awesome but the video. Oh my gosh, you would have thought this was a 3D TV. My husband and I watched The Walking Dead and it looks like you are standing right next to the actors.

It is so crisp and clear and we noticed how much detail in the picture we’ve never been able to pick up on before. We saw details that we had missed before because we can finally see!! Between the size and the QLED 4K, it reminds me of VR.

We watched a movie with the kids and even though it was an animated film, the picture quality makes it look like you are right there with the characters. It’s funny because we saw more of the mannerisms displayed by the characters in the way they moved and in their expressions – I felt like I was watching the movie for the first time.

Now, I haven’t previously owned a Samsung TV with this capability, but seeing it in QLED 4K, it changes the way you see movies and characters. My family and I are gamers. When we tested out with the Switch and played Mario Kart, we were thrilled that although we had to break up the screen for the four of us, it was so much easier to see! We each had 32″ for our viewing square!! I could make out better where I was going, was able to better see traps, and overall had a greater appreciation for the upgraded picture quality.

The kids absolutely loved it and wanted to stay up to see more movies in the better quality. Even the sound seemed better (matching electronics?). It’s amazing how much of a difference 4K is! I have received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

*I received this product at discount price for my honest opinion* I bought Q60B 65″. I was skeptical at first reading all reviews comparing OLED and QLED. I tested this TV with all types of media: Sports, Movies, Music Videos, Photo Slides and used the Samsung’s OS for TV.

I believe this TV surpassed all my expectations. You can’t go wrong with Samsung. They have built this TV considering every aspect and functionality user might want in their TV. Let’s see each major aspect in detail: QLED and Quality: This 4K QLED Technology is very pleasing to the eyes and only noticeable difference to OLED while viewing this in Dark.

Other than QLED has everything if not better. I like how rich and smooth the display is for all kinds of content. Remote: I love how remote is solar powered and can charge with Type C cable which is normal for today’s gadgets.

There are no hassle with AAA batteries at all. Remote is small and compact and has all buttons needed and screen guides you which button to use OS: Samsung’s Tizen OS have all apps that you need and has organized everything perfectly.

It is smooth, fast & user friendly. Initial Setup was very easy to use and provided all the steps needed. (Samsung account needed but not mandatory). You can sync and add your TV to your phone(Smart things App).

You can control some of the features right from your phone. You can even use it as computer with Dex. I love new features added like google Duo, MultiView screens (even you can save vcariants of your multiview), Supports Bixby, Google assistant and Alexa.

TV Size: TV is perfectly shaped with very very small bezels which make viewing superior. Moreover, TV is also very thin in depth which is perfect for mounting on wall or putting on stand. There are so many slots for HDMI cables and are placed on the right along with buttons for controlling the interface.

Things to Improve: – I noticed small blur while playing high action games like COD and rarely response time takes a hit but nothing major – Limited to 60hz is also not high profile for Gaming but it gets the job done and not noticeable after playing for few minutes Other than these caveats, this TV is perfect for consuming all kinds of media and ideal for your needs.

You will not go wrong with this TV.

My initial thoughts while unboxing the 75” Samsung Q60B was how impressively slim both the width of the TV is as well as the bezel around the screen. This replaced a 2017 55” LG and even with the big upgrade in screen size, the Q60B still feels less obtrusive in my living room since it sits so much closer to the wall.

That being said, I was a bit disappointed when I noticed a gap between the back panel of the TV where it attaches to the screen in the top left corner. Definitely a slight manufacturer defect that I wouldn’t expect from a TV in this price range.

Luckily it doesn’t seem to affect the image quality but as the other three corners sit flush with the screen, it is a noticeable defect. After getting the TV mounted and turned on, the setup was pretty straight forward.

The SolarCell remote is awesome and can be charged with the built in solar panel on the back or via usb-c. The picture quality is incredible. I felt like I was watching newly remastered versions of existing TV shows.

There’s a noticeably wider range of colors than previous televisions I’ve had, but I will say that out of the box, the default picture settings can be a bit hot when it comes to whites or brighter scenes.

As far as gaming, there are times where dark objects on screen can be hard to differentiate from dark backgrounds. I do believe this can also be corrected by adjusting the picture settings, but it stood out as something I’d need to look into and work on.

Who do I think this TV is for? If you’re like me coming from an older, smaller entry level 4k television and you’re looking for a feature loaded TV with a size upgrade from a reputable brand that won’t break the bank, I highly recommend the 75” Q60B.

It looks more expensive than it is, and it’s got the tech to keep you happy for years to come. If you’re a gamer and willing to spend a bit more to get something with a 120hz refresh rate for your next gen console, you might want to hold off.

I received this TV at a discounted price in exchange for my review.

WOW!!! I have never seen results this fast from any skincare product! I was so apprehensive about whether this would actually work but I saw some great results online and for the price there was no reason not to give it a try.

The results have shocked me honestly! I’ve only been using it for a couple weeks and only once a day and the wrinkles I’ve applied it to have DRAMATICALLY improved! I wish I took a before photo. I’m so surprised to see reviews that say it didn’t work for them after how dramatic and obvious my results have been.

For reference I am 36, I have normal skin leaning more dry, and I’ve been using this on my 11 and forehead. My wrinkles are not deep at all and are very new so maybe that’s part of why it worked so well for me.

I’ve seen the biggest difference on my 11 wrinkle. I apply this in the morning after washing my face, then I use a niacinamide essence from Naturium, a vitamin c/e/ferulic acid serum from Maelove, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid serum and then this Argireline Solution, then I top it with Biossance Omega Repair Cream and EltaMD sunscreen.

I also read that it works even better when adding in the peptide, tripeptide-10-cirtrulline. Apparently adding this other peptide helps the Argireline penetrate even better so I’m definitely going to add in a serum with this as well to see if it ups the ante even more! Anyway, hope this might help someone else save so money from Botox! Haha!.

I am awaiting the delivery of my second bottle, the first one is almost gone!! I saw on the YouTube tutorials that it works best on thin, crepe-y skin because it has a hard time penetrating suppler skin so I put it on first on my clean face.

Some nights I will use the ordinary retinol over this and always I top it off with the ordinary hyaluronic acid and natural moisturizing factors lotion because I feel putting the hyaluronic acid on top helps to draw my products down into my skin better and I’m saying it works for me! What a difference this product makes!! I think I should just put it in a spray bottle so I can use it all over me!! It is very watery and goes on so quickly and once it’s dry it doesn’t cause any issues.

It hasn’t irritated my skin and I don’t notice any smell. but I am WOWED!! If I use this morning and night for about a week, with the hyaluronic acid on top, I notice a huge difference. My skin is smoother and plumped right out.

The lines around my lips and eyes, between my eyebrows, on my forehead and neck are all greatly improved, and not using it reverts my skin quite rapidly. I’m so grateful to the ordinary for making such effective, miraculous and quality products at an affordable price.

Omg I did not expect to be blown away by this little gem!! This stuff is a miracle worker!! I’m in my mid-30s and I’m just starting to see some under eye wrinkles, crows feet, one small half line on my forehead and some smile/marionette lines.

The worst of all though is that the skin above one of my eyelid’s had started to droop significantly. After reading the reviews for this I decided it wouldn’t hurt to try – I mean it’s less than $10 anyway!! Let me tell you, this stuff actually works! My forehead half-line is gone and although the lines around my mouth are a little more stubborn, they too are barely noticeable now! The least effective results have been my under eye lines and the crows feet but they are still significantly improved.

The most amazing results however, have been my drooping eyelid area! The droop is now gone and my eyelid area looks like it did when I was in my 20s!! If you’re on the fence about this, trust me just buy it! I didn’t start seeing these results until I was on my second bottle so be patient, I promise you’ll see results with continued use!.

The first time I tried this product was during a 40 day sugar fast. After weeks without sugar, whipping this up in the blender with oatmilk and ice it tasted like a Wendy’s Frosty! When I drink it over ice it reminds me of a favorite mocha drink from our local coffee shop (I stopped drinking coffee 3 years ago) SO this bone broth has been my tasty (healthy) replacement for the sugary, caffeinated “stuff” of my past.

In addition, my kids love when I mix it with frozen banana and a scoop of nut butter. Glad I opted in for the subscription b/c the local health food store runs out of this product quickly and with the whole house enjoying it we move through a small can fast! If you are transitioning into using bone broth, or looking for a healthier addition to smoothies, I highly recommend this powder.

p. s. I find it mixes best with a blender so if you travel get yourself a small immersion blender or at least a shaker bottle with a roller ball as I’m not sure hand-shaking it will dissolve the clumps.

It does taste good with various fruits and mint extract so have fun experimenting :).

Tastes like dirty water. No chicken flavor whatsoever. Had to add all sorts of spices and dried onion/garlic just to get some flavor. Also tried the Turmeric variety which tastes like even dirtier and more bitter water.

I even tried the S’mores variety which tastes mostly of stevia and a little bit of monk fruit with only the slightest hint of chocolate. Very bland. I don’t dismiss the benefits of the product. The benefits are great, but the taste is so bad it’s hard to get through a cup of it.

It would be nice if you actually made a product that tasted of a truly rich stock. I understand the “flavored” varieties needing to be without a meaty or savory quality but the Pure? It’s a joke that you are trying to pass this off as having a “savory chicken flavor.

I bought a new home in March 2022, 5 months later the tactile buttons on the top interface just stopped responding (would not light up, no sound). I power-cycled the device by cutting the breaker, waiting 10 minutes, then returning power.

The lights turn back on the buttons and I can press them successfully for 30 seconds. Then everything dies again. I have been able to repeat this process 5x now with the same result. The locking mechanism also at the same to stopped securing when the dishwasher is closed.

I read several reviews with the EXACT same story as mine. Seems to be a common problem that this manufacturer does not care to get to the root cause of. I would like the Quality Assurance team to look into this, it’s absurd to see so many reviews with the EXACT same symptoms.

Additionally, I registered my product using the QR code and the website, I got an e-mail confirmation. However, this process is backwards, when I created an account using the same e-mail address the product did not populate on my account.

It has been 2 weeks since I created the account. When I try to re-register the device, it tells me the serial number has already been registered. When I spoke with customer support they told me that serial number is not registered to any account.

WHICH IS IT FRIDGEAIR?.

I have owned this dishwasher since the middle of March and when I say it’s the worst appliance we have ever purchased I mean it! Here’s the experience we have had! Ok we had an old dishwasher on its way out.

We knew it was time to start looking. We decided we would get all new matching appliances. When we began our search we didn’t care what brand. We just knew black stainless and it did what it was intended to do.

One Tuesday after work we met at Lowes after work just to see what they had to offer since some friends told us there positive experience buying appliances there. Well we weren’t going to buy anything but it didn’t take but about 15min.

when we stumbled across this Frigidaire dishwasher. We liked the looks of it and we were familiar with the brand. So we bought and took it home that night. We had it installed that weekend and we were happy.

So we began looking at more Frigidaire appliances to match our now dishwasher. After the first month this thing couldn’t clean a dish if your life depended on it! We practically clean the dishes spotless before we put them in the dishwasher.

We have had everything checked. From water pressure to, water temperature, to double checking to make sure the drain hose was above the drain on the sink. They replaced the water inlet valve and that did nothing.

The inside of it has been cleaned multiple times, we have checked the spray arms for debris. Tried different cycles in an attempt to trick it and we also had the power supply checked and then just turning the breaker on and off for a reset.

Now it will not go into diagnostic mode and only fills up and then sits silent until the cycle ends and then it drains. It’s frustrating to no end to have this new $600 dishwasher just wasting my water now.

I’m was told I probably need a new main board on a new dishwasher. Our Maytag lasted 13 years. Very disappointed with my purchase.

Generally happy with the purchase of this dishwasher. It is quiet and cleans well. However, despite following the loading instructions in the manual, dishes and bowls do not sit properly in racks. Also, the lower rack gets stuck when attempting to pull it all the way out to load and unload.

You have to pull hard and that jolts the rack and the dishes, etc. , get shaken out of place. I have looked to see if there is something blocking the casters from rolling smoothly all the. way in and out and there does not seem to be anything blocking it.

Perhaps a defective unit or a design flaw? Also, the silverware rack is slightly smaller than the depth of the bottom rack and seems to float in the bottom rack and doesn’t seem to fit properly. I have looked online to find answers to see if I am doing something wrong but cant find anything.

Probably would not buy again, but generally for the price, this unit does an OK job.

I really like this washer. In a house with three cats who shed quite a bit, keeping our clothes clean is sometimes harder than it seems, but this machine is up to the task. I’ve experienced a variety of machines: laundromat washers, a compact combo washer/dryer, and a much older front loader.

This one knocks them all out of the water. It’s quiet for a washer, cleans quickly, leaves my clothes clean on any cycle and without residue, and gets out basically as much water from the load as possible without actually being a dryer.

Pros • it thoroughly cleans my clothes (that are often covered in cat fur) really efficiently and requires less detergent since it’s a HE washer • it’s so quick! it has a sensor that determines how long your load needs to be fully laundered, and it’s usually under 30 minutes • it has 11 preset cycles (5 are steam cycles) and a button for downloaded cycles which I assume is personalizable and programmable • if you opt not to use a preset, you can also personalize it with five settings each for temperature, spin strength, and soil level • it wrings out as much water as possible from your load, making drying (whether air drying or using a dryer) all the much easier—even with thicker materials like towels, bathmats, and blankets • it’s pretty quiet and doesn’t shake around too much.

my last machine shook so much that we couldn’t even store our detergent on top of it because it would get knocked off after a cycle, but not this one! • it has a cute little chime (that you can disable if you choose) to alert you when the load has finished • it has a 10 year warranty in case anything should malfunction, but it’s our first year owning it and we haven’t needed that yet • it can handle pretty big loads.

I sometimes put off washing my clothes until the last minute, so I’ll put a couple weeks’ worth of black clothes (a pretty huge pile) into the washer all at once because I know it can and will handle it Cons • I honestly can’t think of any cons except the price.

it’s a bit expensive compared to other washers. But it’s so worth it that I don’t mind at all.

I purchased this washer to replace a 10 year old Whirlpool. This washer is fairly easy to use and does a decent job of cleaning clothes but I am unhappy with the delicate cycle. My previous machine had a hand wash cycle.

I assumed a delicate meant it washed delicately. The delicate cycle of this LG machine is the gentlest cycle it has and yet it’s not what I would consider to be delicate or gentle. No matter what water temperature or what spin cycle I set it on I can’t get the delicate cycle to wash in less than 39 minutes.

39 minutes is way too long for a delicate cycle. I feel it’s too rough on my clothes. I also miss the fan fresh that my whirlpool had. At end of any wash cycle a fan would go on and if I couldn’t get to take the wash out right away it would keep machine from getting any sort of smell.

This new LG just stops at end of cycle and I feel I have to run to open it to pull out clothes right away so that clothes don’t start to smell. Yes, the machine has 10 cycles but I really only use normal or delicate.

I’ve never even tried steam or white cycle so I can’t comment on them. As I said, the washer does a decent job but I miss the hand wash cycle and fan fresh of my old machine. Please also note that the back of the machine on display in the store had the hose coming out from midway down the back of the machine.

That was one reason I chose the machine because we needed the hose to reach up about two feet above the machine to the drain. However, when the machine arrived the hose came out of the bottom of the machine and in order to reach my drain I had to purchase an extension drain hose.

I assume the model had been updated but it wasn’t what I expected.

After purchasing and utilizing this LG washing machine for over a month now, I can safely say that while this washing machine and its matching dryer are very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, they lack cleaning power.

I purchased this machine in July 2022 to replace my circa 2010 Samsung front loading machine, which recently ceased to high spin anymore, causing me to replace it. This LG washer does not match the cleaning power of my old Samsung, and it’s quite noticeable.

Most of my washed items come out stretched and devoid of ‘body”. The fabric dispenser doesn’t disperse the softener evenly upon the items in the drum, leaving them with a patchwork of slimy sections.

I have since had to dilute the fabric softener with water, which I realize is always recommended but was never a necessity with my old Samsung machine for the 10-plus years I used it. After washing linens or bedsheets, there seems to be a lack of a “clean, crisp linen” feel, and more of my washed items have been sitting outside in dampness & humidity for hours.

The washing detergent dispenser is way too small, especially when additives, such as color-safe bleach, must be mixed in together with the liquid detergent. Since I bought this machine sight unseen from Conn’s website, I failed to realize that the machine does not have a Sanitize cycle.

Even my old 12-year-old Samsung had a Sanitize cycle for goodness sake! And in a day and age where viruses have become a burgeoning issue, why wouldn’t a Sanitize cycle just be standard on any washing machine at this point?! If these machines do not break down before then, I only see myself with them for at least the next five years before chucking them out and going back to Samsung, despite all of Samsungs well-known drum/spin issues.

And LG please stop offering all of your better-modeled machines in only either black or white. Black is outdated and a lint dust magnet while white will always certainly yellow with time.

If we compare with other brands (I’ve also tried Vega, Amazing Grass, Garden of Life, and Plant Head Protein). I would say Plant Head was the absolute WORST (lots of plant gums and sugar). || All for the Vanilla: SUGAR: Garden of Life Sport has >1g, Vega Sport has 1g, Amazing Grass has ~5g (per serving, roughly 38g).

PROTEIN: Garden of Life Sport 30g, Vega Sport 30g, Amazing Grass 20g. SWEETNESS: GoL – whoa milkshake! tastes. fake. Vega – more green. tastes ok. Amazing Grass – tastes rather sweet, but manageable.

all mixed with plain soymilk. || In the end, I went with Amazing Grass because it seemed to have a lot more iron than the other brands. It also has the most sugar as well though, but the Chocolate Kale flavour was less sickly than Vanilla.

I normally had it with 1/2 a frozen banana, some tofu, and some sort of ‘mylk’/cold coffee. Sometimes with a scoop of peanut butter thrown in. No bloating experienced with these (however, I take Garden of Life Probiotics and don’t drink milk).

I bought this refrigerator in August 2021. We had become weary of bells and whistles on more expensive machines that ended up costing time and money to repair when they, inevitably, stop working properly.

So, we went with a basic model. This refrigerator has worked great, it maintains safe food handling temperatures and seems to cool and freeze evenly. The reason for the 3-star review is that the door seal has already broken away from the door and has pulled off the door liner in the process.

This appears to be a design/manufacturing QA concern, one shouldn’t have to replace a door in the first 2mo. of ownership regardless of the price-point. This repair will be covered under Whirlpool 1yr.

manufacturer warranty and the process has been relatively simple to get resolved, its just unfortunate that I have to put in the time and energy to get a repair so soon after purchase. All that said, this has been an good, basic refrigerator for our purposes.

Excellent product, solidly built to withstand the test of time. The upper chamber has very large space to store frozen food; more importantly, the temperature can be adjusted to convert to refrigerator temperature or freezer temperature I find that tool very impressive.

The draw back is that when you bend down to get food from lower chamber you have to be carful not to hit your head on the door handle. To solve that problem, the upper chamber should be half of its original size.

However, restaurant owners will love it because it gives them more space for food storage. Another positive aspect of this product is that it has removable ice cube maker; you just have to to buy the kit under $50.

This is more economical than purchasing a refrigerator with ice maker for $1800-$2500. Overall, this refrigerator is the best of the best. I gave it a five star. Keep it up Whirlpool.

I bought my refrigerator over a month ago. I am very satisfied with its compact size and with the cooling and freezing functions of the refrigerator. However, will suggest some improvements to this basic model.

A meat and dairy drawer would be very convenient. Also individual temperature controls for the freezer and frig portions would be helpful. Finally, removeable shatterproof glass shelving would be a plus.

They are easy to clean and help with the balancing of small containers. I want to add that the operation of my refrigerator is very quiet.

I really shop around b4 I purchase a refrigerator. Measurement & all the refrigerator is spacious. I can even add additional ice trays. The prize was Excellent & you can’t beat the customer service. They put handle where I needed it , easy to clean & look great.

You getting more than what you paid. It fox’s in a regular size or small kitchen perfect. Keep food really cool snd it adjustable. I’m happy & delivery was even greater. They was professional , quick & handle with care.

Kudos for a valiant effort. Highly strategic engineering is required to build any sophisticated device that can serve an Highly strategic engineering is required to build any sophisticated device that can serve an essential purpose in today’s society.

An airplane that can carry passengers for a decade at supersonic speeds is still be able to serve passengers with nutritious first class meals in comfort while exploring the stratosphere. However, such as in the case of Boeing, there is an occasionally fatal flaw that will cause a fleet of amazing planes to be shelved.

The key for them was to avoid the fatal flaw and enjoy the rewards of the million man hours of research and production necessary to profit and prosper. In the case of my Whirlpool refrigerator, I respect all of the hard work performed by skilled and qualified engineers to produce a device that can cool and freeze food efficiently.

The issue I have to address is the flaw that makes this wonderful product both inefficient and expensive to operate. I required a 30” wide refrigerator that would fit into a cove in my kitchen that was surrounded by cabinets.

This understandably restricted the size of a replacement unit. The Whirlpool model WRT104TFDW I ordered fit the size requirement. It was also on sale for $50 off, resulting in a sale price of $545. Thus, a perfect size and within my budget.

Sadly, it was my fatal flaw to select a refrigerator that was best suited to be used in a garage or basement as a “back-up” or “second unit” to be used once a month when there was a party planned or for long-term frozen food and occasional usage.

I found that in my case this is not a refrigerator to be used as a prime source of keeping food fresh or palatable on a daily basis when the door needed to be opened several time during the day. The following are a few of my concerns.

1. The fact that if I open the refrigerator door to put something in for three seconds the machine seems to run for at least an hour. As such, when I open the refrigerator or freezer door, I try to accumulate everything that goes back in or has to be removed in a quick movement so as to avoid keeping the door open for more than a few seconds.

At one point I noticed that the refrigerator wasn’t running, which is quite rare, and when I checked the temperature it was 50 degrees in the refrigerator portion. I called the company, ABT Electronics, that installed the unit and they were getting ready to send someone out to check it when it seem to go back to normal.

No reason for this. I figure the device runs for about 20 hours a day. This results in a cost of between $20 and $30 per month more than the old clunker of a refrigerator it replaces. If I have to spend a dollar a day to run this unit, it is more than the cost of everything else in my condo, including the air conditioning system in the summer.

It’s rare to see the refrigerator sitting quietly idle. At times it becomes excessively noisy, perhaps during its defrosting mode. Occasionally, when I walk passed it, it decides to start running almost as if it was a sycophantic hound who was trying to garner my favor 2.

When I contacted Commonwealth Edison to take advantage of their $50 refund that they offered, they declined it because this unit is not an Energy Star rated refrigerator. This seemed odd because I would think I would be needing the $50 to help pay for the extra energy it uses up.

Why should they give people $50 for an energy star which is already saving them money? I figure I’m paying $365 per year in electricity, which is a dollar day, for a $300 refrigerator, for which I paid $850.

This is a windfall for the electric company. I also enquired at ABT about any possible refunds from Whirlpool and they said that this model was not eligible. 3. While this is a relatively attractive refrigerator, in my case, it is not suitable for everyday use.

Again, the perfect unit to hide away in a basement or garage with occasional use to supplant any requirements necessary to support a Christmas or Thanksgiving party. 4. If I could have purchased another unit that would have fit into the space accommodating a refrigerator in my kitchen I would have explored further.

As it was I had to go for 10 days without a refrigerator because the ABT delivery was delayed due to the pandemic. So, if I ever win the lottery or have some sort of a windfall profit, I will discard this refrigerator and purchase something more suitable for my needs.

5. I paid about $850 for this refrigerator, which was worth about $300 to $400 (as compared to those offered by Best Buy). This included a $45 tip for the two men who installed the unit. ABT charged me an additional $50 to switch the handles left side to the right.

I’m not sure if this was even justified. 6. I regret is that I didn’t purchase the LG model LTCS20030S 30 inch refrigerator with 20. 2 Cu. Ft. Capacity, which was about the same price, and Energy Star rated.

The Summit FF1511SS13 cu. ft. is also ENERGY STAR® certified. The Frigidaire FFTR1425VW is also a highly rated refrigerator. The Whirlpool Company produces some excellent products. And, I consider the model WRT104TFDW as probably one of the better “basement” and “garage” rated units on the market.

Unfortunately, it didn’t serve my needs for a basic apartment refrigerator. Recently, Chicago has been considered one of the worst areas in the country for looting. I think you should feel confident that nobody will be looting your refrigerator.

I have this fridge for only 3 weeks so it may be too early to tell. My first impression is that the workmanship is not the best. Not only were there minor cosmetic issues like the plastic film not coming off completely, there were insulation out of the edges and caulk or glue showing though cracks, the place where the handle is placed has a gap from the door frame.

The gasket around the door for the seal had gaps both on side to fridge door and to the side of door seal when closing door. Also on one the two corners, which I think are cosmetic coverings fell off within 5 minutes of delivery and the gasket seal does not sit flush against the corners.

Because of the gap in the gasket seal I had to manually adjust it. Regarding freezer, ice formed daily on inside of edges until I read one of the reviews which suggested to put vaseline along the edges and that stopped the frost from forming.

Please try vaseline if you have that problem. I don’t think this should happen with a brand new $790 fridge so it shows bad workmanship and as others before me reviewed. what happened to Whirlpool? The fridge do cycle on very frequently ( 30 minutes on) yet I do not open door very often and only for short time.

There are also different sounds coming from this new fridge like the fan slowly coming to a stop and the really weird sizzling sounds that I would heard or the sound of dripping. Maybe this is normal with new fridges.

My old one lasted over 20 years so I don’t know how this compares. For the fingerprint issue on the stainless steel front, I used a few drops of olive oil and wiped down and that definitely helps temporarily.

I guess if the visible workmanship on the outside of the fridge is any indication of what is inside, I am a little hesitant to fully recommend this particular fridge to anyone. I wish the warranty would last more than a year.

I did not buy the extended warranty because it would be added cost of $180. In summary, the fridge is working so I guess. so far so good.

This unit was our replacement for a long-serving, durable Frigidaire that gave us nearly 30 years of service. It’s not been near long enough to make final judgement on this Whirlpool fridge but so far, everything has worked well.

Things we like: 1) it runs very quiet, 2) it’s efficient in that it doesn’t run long during cycles to maintain temperature, 3) the freezer chills to -20F (or lower) effortlessly without undue frost buildup, 4) the recessed door handles are a huge improvement over the awkward handles (one of Frigidaire’s weak points) and the brushed stainless door finish and grey body are attractive and are easier to maintain appearance.

Internally, it’s a narrow fridge so there isn’t quite the roominess of our old unit but it is laid out nicely. The sliding middle trays are handy and the glass shelving seems durable. But, the real test of this unit’s worth will only take time – lots of time.

It has a long ways to go to equal or surpass our older unit. Oh, and family and guests all like the outward ‘minimalist’ appearance. Nothing to snag a sleeve or apron while whisking around the kitchen.

4-stars, maybe 5 (in a couple dozen years).

I bought this refrigerator about 3 years ago! It is still going strong. There is good enough interior storage. Some of the features that appeal to me is how you can adjust the height of the shelves to accommodate big or small storage items.

I also love the flexi-slide bin. The bin can be slid to the left or to the right if more storage height is needed. The freezer design, and its storage capacity are good enough for items that will be used within a certain time period.

For larger items, and longer storage, you might want to invest in a small upright, 5. 0+ cu. ft household freezer! One downside, the top freezer door has a tendency of popping slightly open when the bottom door is closed! If you have kids, this can be annoying and a bit problematic when they open and close the lower door! You will have to remember to check the top freezer door to make sure it is tightly closed!! Cleaning the exterior is not too painful.

I have a stainless steel one that I simply wipe with a sponge and warm sudsy water, or just with sheets of alcohol wipes followed by dry paper towels or a dry, cleaning, cloth.

I loved my last bike to death (Carerra Zelos). Pretty much literally as that thing broke on me pretty much right as this Orbea arrived. The difference between the two bikes is huge. This thing is comfortable (this model came with the raised endurance handlebars), light, responsive, and cool as heck.

I bought this due to its placement as a bike that can do it all. A road bike when you want it to be and if you put on some 35mm tyres then a gravel/rougher bike too. I’ve tried it out on both terrains and I’ve been impressed on both counts.

The hydraulic disk brakes are such an enormous step up from rim brakes. Rain isn’t a problem anymore. Pulling sick skids in some gravel has never been more fun and pulling up the front end of the bike to do a little jump really surprised me with how easy it was.

You could criticise that this has a tiagra groupset in spite of its price. That would be a fair criticism. I bought it as I saw the investment in the frame to be worthwhile. Components can be upgraded.

Another criticism I’ve heard is that the wheelset is heavy. Not so sure that’s a fair criticism. It might be true, but I’m of the school of thought that wheel aerodynamics are significantly more important than weight.

So I guess a better criticism could be that the wheels could be more aerodynamic. But I don’t care enough to make that point. This bike is very cool and I like it.

Absolutely love this bike, best I’ve ever ridden / owned (upgraded from a Boardman SLR 9. 0 2019 Model). The build quality and finish (in raw Carbon / Titanium) is first class. Went for Frame size 55 – I’m 1.

80M and it’s spot on. Look forward to racking up plenty of Winter Miles. Note re the Sigma Sports aftersales Customer Care Team (James N) – whilst un-boxing, noticed the front tyre was flat. Thought it may have been purposely deflated for transit / safety etc, but on re-inflation it quickly went down again.

When I removed the tyre the bead was damaged with visible wire on inside edge (which may have been the cause perhaps when fitting the Vittoria’s and hence nicked the tube, not sure?). Quick trip to my local shop had a couple of Continental Gator Skins (700 x 28) fitted on the same day and was away.

Dropped the Sigma Team an e-mail (primarily as feedback to let them know, in case of similar problems from other customers), and they proactively arranged for a refund to cover the replacement cost – Excellent Customer Service!, Thanks again.

I rode the local loop on my son’s Orbea Avant, then a week later on new Orca. Instantly 10% faster, and I then carried on knocking off minutes. I’m a commuter new to ‘proper’ road cycling, and this just puts a massive smile on my face when I take it out for a joyride.

When I’ve been pedalling my aluminium behemoth up to London all week this feels like it has a discreet motor drive built in somewhere. Great components and comfort. Mine came with a Fizik saddle which has more curve than the standard Sella saddle, and also has a central groove.

It is so comfortable, I just don’t notice it. Which is great as that’s the one feature I would have liked to swap out for a better saddle, but doing so would have extended delivery date from Orbea by an unknown length of time.

It helps that Sigma’s my local shop.

The fridg is the perfect size for one or two users, but it is noisy. The American Freight ad stated it was an open box purchase, but there were no bins included except for the crispers. There was not an ice bin.

Open box should include everything that comes with an appliance. Disappointing. By the time bins were purchased and the $90 delivery fee, this same purchase could have been made at a competitor for a slightly cheaper price.

It looks great inside and out. We were a bit concerned about downsizing. It is smaller than our previous refrigerators but the size seems to be adequate. It certainly fits into the opening much better than the larger refrigerators.

It is much easier to roll it out for cleaning. The larger size refrigerators we previously owned were wall to wall in the refrigerator cabinet space and were difficult to roll out. There is a dip in floor near the back of the opening which in the past has made it difficult to level previous refrigerators.

This frig was easier to level in spite of that dip in the floor. This new Whirlpool refrigerator replaced a 15 year old Kenmore which experienced a sudden compressor problem. I also own a 22 year old Kenmore in the garage that is still working.

I believe that 22 year old Kenmore was built by Whirlpool. I just installed a Whirlpool ice maker in it last week. I’m not sure if 15 year old Kenmore was manufactured by Whirlpool. My new Whirlpool is a great value in terms of first cost.

It should be less expensive to operate than the larger units. I have not owned it long enough to evaluate the reliability. [This review was collected as part of a promotion. ].

I replaced my side by side with ice and water dispenser with a little smaller one with an ice maker. These differences were just minor to me for the price difference. This one was discounted due to a very small unnoticeable ding that was hidden where I installed it.

Look for their marked down deals. You can really save in your pocket book. I highly advise you Freight. to shop with American.

After over an 8-month wait due to shipping delays stemming from the pandemic, the fridge arrived, and met all of our needs. It is in a corner, opening against a wall that our previous side-by-side’s freezer door kept bumping into and made it hard to reach into.

This new bottom-freezer model immediately resolved that problem. Even at the same outer dimensions as our side-by-side, this new fridge is so much more spacious. One thing we don’t like is how the upper fridge door magnets are not as strong.

Sometimes, closing the freezer normally (not slamming) will result in the fridge opening a crack. We need to keep checking to make sure it’s pushed closed; it is level and doesn’t close with any momentum behind it.

Luckily there is a door alarm to tell us if this happens when we don’t notice, but it is troublesome especially if we leave the room or house before the alarm sounds.

Our refrigerator had two problems to start with. One was the ice maker. It made only a few very small ice cubes. A repair man came to fix it, and he said it was an installer problem. He was a repair man.

It wasn’t his problem. He did however repair the bent water hose in the back after we called him back two more times. The ice maker works fine now. However, the second problem was his problem. The door didn’t shut properly.

We would give the door a little push to close like our old refrigerator would. This new door would almost close and then spring back open about 5 inches and require a second push to close completely.

What a pain. The repair man adjusted the slope complaining all the time it was an installer problem. He also took some yellow piece off the door hinge. The door closed better, but it still takes a second push to close completely.

Had I known this is the way this refrigerator works, I would have never bought it. The open alarm goes off all the time because the door isn’t completely closed.

I absolutely love my new refrigerator! I was nervous after reading some reviews about it being noisy, not cold enough, and moving when the drawers are pulled but I have none of these issues. It is definitely cold enough! The drawers did move the refrigerator when opening but once you stabilize it by turning the knobs on the bottom it does not do that.

It is quiet. I have gained so much space which amazes me because it fits in the same amount of space my old refrigerator did. It makes plenty of ice. Love the turbo cool feature! My freezer is now nicely organized and still has space for more! I could not be happier with my purchase! And just an fyi I am not a paid reviewer and I’m not doing this as part of a promotion.

I’m a regular person who just bought a new refrigerator.

We decided to sell our old refrigerator, which was still working pretty well, but was starting to show its age, about 10 years old. Prices have gone up in that time, a lot. This fridge was the same exact cubic ft.

, and less features, but cost well over $300 more! So, was it worth it? Jury is still out. The former fridge came with an ice maker which we did not connect. This one did not have that. Other than that they were very similar.

The produce drawers at the bottom have a cheap, chintzy, plasticy feel, like they are less durable and could break easier. The other drawers were more solid and seemed more durable, less likely to break.

This unit is noisier, by far. It’ll make gurgling sounds for a good long time every so often. If you are looking for a quiet unit, this is not it. The layout is slightly different in that it is wider, yet shorter, which my wife likes, as she is 5’2”.

It holds the same amount as the previous fridge, but does not accommodate a big turkey very easily, which was disappointing. You can’t adjust the shelves to make that easier. The door, however is better and can hold large beverage bottles like gallons, but we stick with half gallons.

The butter storage is bigger and has a closing lid. The wide glass shelves are strong, tempered glass, but because they are wider, they can be stocked with more items, which makes me a tad nervous that they could catastrophically fail at some point if inadvertently overloaded.

So, the noise it makes, frequent and substantial, as well as the shelf configuration being suboptimal, plus the dramatically higher price means it couldn’t earn five stars. But because it works as it should, and we haven’t had any freezing issues in the refrigeration section like we did with the old one (so far), I could only deduct one star, but it should be 3.

5 stars. The guys at Best Buy damaged the entryway to the kitchen while bringing it in, even though we pre-measured and said the doors would need to come off first, causing $250 in damage, which was amicably settled, eventually, and doesn’t affect this rating, but was a concern.

The Pros: Good storage space for my needs. Well lit inside the fridge compartment. Bins inside are handy. Pretty quiet. Temperature is where it should be on this one. Frost does not seem to build up in freezer, but keeps food icy cold.

Door seal is really solid. Nice looking fridge. The Cons: No light in freezer compartment (the fridge part is very nicely lit, though. ) Difficult to clean condenser coils, but idk of any fridge where that is easy to get to.

Kick plate on bottom is tricky to put back on. Just takes a bit of patience. But i will only remove it once or twice a year to clean out the house dust behind it. This is the second Whirlpool i have owned of the same model.

The first one i had trouble keeping the temperature steady below 40 F in the fridge compartment, unless i put it on coldest setting (most snowflakes) and rushed to take items out to close the door quickly.

The freezer was always cold though. The first one also made rather bizarre sounds occasionally when running (for a few minutes and not constantly. ) This second one has a different thermostat with LED lights instead of the snowflake dial of the first one i had.

and this one keeps the temp nice and steady cold in both freezer and fridge and Does Not make cRaZy, mysterious noises on occasion and this runs runs a lot quieter than the first one i had. So overall, i’m very happy that i bought the same model and so far it’s been “groovy.

” This is my own personal experience – your mileage may vary.
