"The filters I typically buy have very uniform pleats and hold their shape; they have more strength than these."
"To my dismay, I noticed that the new filter had several thin spots in it, not unlike the less expensive fiber filters I prefer not to use. Well, not only was the newer one noticeably thinner, there were 3 fewer pleats in the filter."
"Higher rated filters will only reduce the efficiency of your heating and A/C systems and end up costing you more for the filters and in utility costs. A tip I was taught to improve your filter's MPR rating without impacting air flow is to give the filter a quick spray with Pam (or similar) each time you replace the filter. As much as I want to switch brands entirely, I am giving 3M's 600 MPR filters a chance first (Filtrete Clean Living Dust Reduction Filters, 600 MPR, 20 x 25 x 1, 6-Pack). 3M claims they provide better filtration AND are more efficient at allowing air through then the 300 MPR filter, which makes very little sense, but, OK.

"As soon as the fan come on, the filter came loose from the cardboard frame and a three inch gap appeared on one side."

Keep in mind you only need to replace this once a year if you live in a mild area or every 6 months if you always have the heat and air on. I used to run calls where the customers would get so mad at these they would smash them in an break things."
"Last time I got some, I went with a cheaper brand (slightly lower MIRV rating) to save a few bucks and discovered that the "cheepos" use glue spots instead of string."
"Must better than the last "replacement" filter I had purchased for my Aprilaire 2200 series unit."
"This was the correct replacement filter for our Space-Gard air cleaner, but although the shipping box was plenty big enough, the actual filter box was severely crushed on one end."
"Just had winter preventative maintenance done and the tech said the one replaced back in March barely shows any dirt/dust."
"This is bad because some of them will send you non-Aprilaire filters, even though the price is about the same. But it also says in the name of the product "Aprilaire Stock 2200 Filter Media, 2-Pack by Aprilaire". We went back and forth a few times, with them claiming the filters they sent were "exactly the same" and "literally identical" to the Aprilaire filters. I finally had to take the filters they sent me out of the box and photograph them next to my just installed second genuine Aprilaire filter from the previous order."
"I have bought replacement filters from Amazon before and have been very satisfied. I had thought they sent two so that I wouldn't complain but after reading the listing again, I was supposed to receive two."
"It comes flat and you have to line up the filter with the comb before installing it in filter box."

"These filters also help catch bacteria and since I've been using them for the last 6 months, I have found that I'm getting sick less often and my allergies are better than they were before. It says you can change them every 3 months, but I usually change mine more often because of how bad my allergies are."
"Until I started using them, everything in my house was covered in dirt and dust within 2-3 days after dusting because of the heavily contaminated outdoor air being drawn into my home via normal ventilation. The other filters the dealer had sold me provided the furnace with the same needed ventilation but filtered dirt out so poorly they were barely off white after a month."
"Bought the exact size written on the filter but apparently the consumer has to search for an “actual size” which is MUCH smaller."

Find Best Price at Amazon"In my research I learned that my primary complaint the Nest - that the temperature swing was too wide - was addressed by Sensi's "cycle rate" setting. Nest's no-button design is cool, but using a thermostat is not a lecture in UX minimalism, and black-and-chrome doesn't really disappear into the background of my home (white trim and all). Granted, we didn't also install a second Nest to have more temperature sensors, and we didn't buy their $200 talking smoke detectors which also report environmental statistics back to the thermostat. Most people won't care about this but being a network security engineer, I'm impressed that the thermostat has exactly 0 open TCP ports, outbound communication is with one IP, and total traffic is very modest."
"--. I had been wanting to get a WiFi Thermostat for a long time now, but I held off because I was worried that I would buy one that wouldn't be compatible with my home or that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to install it. You select the wires that your current thermostat has, and then the app tells you what to label them and where they will go in the new thermostat. I had never replaced a thermostat before, and it took me under 30 minutes (which includes unboxing, looking for screwdriver, looking for AC unit shut off switch, watching how-to videos included with the app, etc). The app is handy because it also tells you your local Hi and Low temps from the forecast as well as the humidity in your home, upcoming schedule, set temp, actual temp, and the background is either blue, red, or grey depending on if your system is on Cool, Heat, or off at the moment. The only thing this is missing is a few more advanced options for the app, such as specific alerts (like if the temperature is changed manually, I would like to be able to get an instant alert on my phone) and an air filter change reminder that can be set for a certain amount of time (like 1, 2, or 3 months)."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"As this happened, the wine cooler could only achieve/maintain about 10 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature, in contrast to the 17-18 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature it could achieve when new. When fixing it, I used the following components: a) Fan - I replaced the original 90 mm fan with a 140 mm fan that pushes 60 CFM and draws 0.14A, which is about the same amp draw as the original fan. The fan runs at top speed (1000 rpm) during cooling and cannot be heard - much quieter than the original fan. It has been two years since I fixed it; the wine cooler now achieves and hold about 20 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient temperature. If I set the cooler to 50F, then the Peltier and fan cycle on & off. I've attached three photos to this review showing what the modified back of the fixed cooler looks like, the difference between ambient and interior temperature, and the difference between the heat-sink temperature and the interior temperature."
"Avanti makes very good products, nonetheless - when I plugged it in, I was unable to change any of the parameters (temp, wine type) on the display. Finally figured that out; as you open bottles and reseal with your vacu-vin or what have you, it doesn't make sense to lay them back down, they're not going to "breathe" through those seals so, stand 'em up and they'll be ready when you are for your next glass! July 12, 2016 Update - As I passed the cooler today, I noticed that the temperature displayed was 58 degrees (set on 55,) no fans running and no action from the buttons."
"Had the LED been green or red, it would have been better, but I will still give it five stars because the controls require unlocking before use, making it hard for my toddler to set the temperature."
"My wife and I received this item as a wedding gift and, although we are generally satisfied with some aspects of the cooler (appearance, capacity and size, and convenience) the unit itself does not maintain a stable temperature on its own (a "must have" for delicate wines and the reason we wanted a wine fridge in the first place)."

TIP: put all wheels on the bottom, make sure to tighten the connections and you shouldnt have any issues. I've only had to do an extra spin once for a load of towels and pants just so they would dry faster. I use fabric softener on the rinse cycle so my clothes dont dry stiff."

"Our apartment doesn't have the room, or the plumbing for a standard clothes washer, so we were delighted to find this compact little unit that could be rolled out when needed, and put back in the closet and out of the way when it's not. You just screw on a base plate, add the caster wheels, stick on the hose and tap connector, and you're ready to go! It has a plate in the bottom of the tub that twists and spins rather than a centre agitator like many machines, so it is much gentler on clothes. Recently I washed a puffy fuzzy bath mat with a rubber backing and found the machine did a great job. Tide Pods are super in this little machine, but liquid and powder cleaning agents also work well. It moved about an inch, and then beeped at me to open the machine and rebalance the load before continuing its cycle. Before buying this washer I looked at a twin tub portable version from another company. I wanted a machine I could put my clothes into and walk away, knowing it was doing all the washing, rinsing and spinning on its own. GREAT FOR YOUR OWN USE OR AS A GIFT TO A NEWLYWED COUPLE OR NEW MOM OR DAD. I highly recommend this portable washer, as it's good value for the price, and fits into our little apartment with ease. They also make good wedding and baby gifts to those like us who have limited space and/or can't hook up full-size appliances. We bought the Haier HLP140E 2-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Tumble Vented Dryer to go with this washer and love it too!"
"One secret to using this that I learned is to turn off the water after the wash water has all flowed in; that way, if you want to put in fabric softener, but you don't want to hang out over the machine, it will make a beeping sound when it needs more water for the rinse cycle and will not continue until you turn the water back on! Otherwise, you can time about 15 minutes for the wash cycle, keep the water on, and hope you don't get involved in anything more important."

Having always had a stove that had controls in the back and having seen the prior owner of my house had a range with controls in front, I know that this is what I wanted. Is it worth the nearly extra $900 this stove costs more than the back control one. I noted this unit has a meat probe and the back control one did not. Only when I laid over the stove to replace the vent filter in the microwave above did I get a reaction from the stove and even then it was looking for me to put in a temperature for the bottom oven. I will use it It takes something to get used to pressing a button to get to a number versus turning a knob. Given this is a slide in range and my prior was a stand alone, the smooth top is above and extending over my counters. Also my counters were not at 36 inches, so there is about a ⅜-½" gap under the smooth top over the counter top. This oven is not a convection, nor does it have a probe in it. BOTTOM OVEN. This oven has only a visible top heat element and a hidden lower one, and a convection fan. My prior convection range (of 17 years) had convection roast and bake as well as a probe, so I had a lot of experience with that one. SHIPPING. We purchased the unit through Home Care Company (as the price was great) and they used independent truckers to ship the item. I noted that the oven vent is in the back top, where there is a lip, versus under the controls in a back control range. I had a smooth top before, but the heat range was different."
"to the double ovens which are both self-cleaning; the convection oven; huge glass windows to see in the ovens; expandable burners; warming burner; intuitive controls. I thought I would miss an oven drawer."
"In my case it would make more sense to make the top one conventional since that is the one that most people may be using majority of the time. The overhanging glass on the sides looked amazing until I pushed the stove into place and realized that there is metal flashing under the glass on the sides. Just wiped the control panel and it would have been a good day if it stopped there.... Just in case I decided to check for spill under the stove and that's when I discovered where all my coffee went. Both oven doors are double wall glass with heat vents on top of the doors and all my coffee leaked from the top down through the vents inside both doors. So to my experience the pictured product is a great looking stove, but at this point I wish I would have chosen proper design and functionality over looks. Also only the oven buttons (description of the buttons in my case) light up when pushed and you can hardly see that during the day."
"We boiled the water over while cooking pasta and it spilled water on top of the range. Apparently there is no seal to prevent water on top of the range from seeping into the range logic bard below."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Like most people, I prefer a dishwasher partly because doing dishes is a chore and partly because a dishwasher just gets the dishes cleaner than you ever will doing them by hand. So, this is accurate and as complete as I can be... UNIT MEASUREMENTS. The unit as it measures in my home: 17.25 (H) X 21.5 (W) X 19.75 (D). So as you decide where you're going to put it, if you're using a portable rack or other device, make sure it can hold at least 100 lbs - 50 for the unit, plus 8 or 9 lbs for the water, plus the weight of your dishes (another 8-10 lbs) - total about 70 lbs when full and in use, plus some cushion just to be safe. I'm hoping that will loosen up just a little as time goes on because right now I have to put downward pressure on top of the unit in order to open the door - I've got my unit sitting on a thin-legged metal rack (see pics) and so the rack wobbles a bit if I pull hard without the downward support to hold the rack still. It takes as long as a full sized dishwasher to clean the dishes. There are several cycles: Heavy/Pots & Pans (100 minutes). Normal (85 minutes). Light (75 minutes). Glass (70 minutes). Speed (45 minutes). and Pre-wash/soak (10 minutes). The Heavy cycle has a double wash cycle. The Heavy, Normal, Light and Glass cycles all include a heated dry cycle. The other major difference in the cycles is the temperature of the wash/rinse water: Heavy and Normal having the highest (wash 131*F and rinse 149*F). The Speed has the lowest temperatures (wash 122*F and rinse 131*F). I made sure the water was at its hottest before turning off the tap to connect the hose and turning it back on. The dishwasher will heat the water to the correct temperature for the option you've chosen, but clearly starting with already hot water will shorten the time to heat the water. So, starting with very hot tap water, the Normal wash cycle from the moment I pressed the start button to the moment the end-of-cycle beep happened was 87 minutes. So using cold water is an option, but it will add a little more than 30 minutes to the process because the unit needs to first heat the water in order to properly wash the dishes. DRY DISHES. The Normal cycle that I'm using includes dry time. I've made a point to be standing at the dishwasher when the end-of-cycle beep sounds so that I could see if the dishes are in fact dry. The ceramic dishes (plates, bowls), metal dog food bowls, plastic cups and silverware are all dry to the touch (and baked hot). Letting the dishes sit in the rack, with the door open for 20-30 minutes and all dishes are completely dry and cool enough to put away. NOISE. The sound of the unit in cycle (the swish of your dishes being cleaned) is very quiet. It sounds like someone just turned on your tap to full - so if you have a metal sink, it's water hitting metal. I connected the hoses to the back of the unit as directed. You can leave the faucet on all night if you start the dishwasher at bedtime as you will not be using/running water all night due to the pressurized hose. Also, be sure to PRESS THE RED BUTTON and wait for the water to drain before disconnecting the hose from the faucet. Once disconnected, you'll want to hold the end down and the length of the hose up to drain the last of the water that's in there before tucking the hose into its storage position - this is simply to avoid drips. Also, the unit and the hoses smell like new appliance."
"My dislike of doing dishes turned most of the counter space of my small Manhattan kitchen into physics-defying stacks of procrastination. This countertop dishwasher takes up about 60% of usable counter space in my apartment, a sacrifice I'm willing to make but for city dwellers, definitely measure it out. My loaner husband no longer lives next door to me so I was apprehensive about installing the faucet adaptor myself, turns out it was a cinch. Some of the typos and wording are good for a laugh and its focus is on how to load a hypothetically uniform set of dishes no one actually owns. The reason I like the Cascade Complete Gel Packs is it's got everything in it, including the rinse agent that keeps your glasses from streaking. I mean, I wouldn't go on vacation without turning off the faucet but you don't have to obsess that there's going to be some water pressure build-up that's going to shoot your shiny new countertop dishwasher into space if you're absorbed in another activity. A few times I rinsed a couple of dishes again, they were super shiny so I was suspicious maybe the Cascade Gel Pack left some residue, so basically I ran them under water again because they looked too clean, starting to worry that I have trust issues. I've received mutilated deliveries from other companies with everything from footprints on top of the box to holes where the fork lift went through it. It's good to know that it's not going to spring a leak any time in the near future but I have to figure out some hook system to make them less obtrusive."

"Anyhow, the mwf filter I got with amazon prime arived today (sunday) and the water tastes great again after running a couple gallons through it."
"After installing a new filter the flow was back to normal. I cannot say if it actually filters anything meaningful (chlorine, bacteria, etc), as I do not have the willingness or ability to test, but I can say it certainly does filter particulate as evident by clear water coming out of the tap while all my faucets produced a brown soup."
"After ten days, I could no long tolerate the taste and rushed to a local Lowe's. The one I bought in Lowe's was in a printed box, as shown in the attached photo. If you receive a "genuine" GE MWF filter in a plain white box, dude, you may be in the same boat with me."
"Googling the issue with this filter you'll see it's really common on many other sites. I waited until my 2nd filter to now leave a review here (deleted my old review since I couldn't figure out how to add image while updating an old review). This is consistent with an old hack for the filter (that worked for me) of cutting out a plastic "washer" that assisted in pushing in the pointed button where the filter connects to. You can see this "pointed button" when you take out the filter and look at the filter head."

We also have one system with one poorly located return in a long constricted hallway that tends to collect dust / pet hair. I would get about 2 months out of that. 2) It's easy to install, and I've never seen any issues with the glue separating and causing the filter to drop. So, either we have ductwork cleaning needs or we suck (pun intended) at vacuuming up pet hair and dusting. No, you will NOT get the life out of it you expected unless your home is cleaned by Martha Stewart and/or you have an efficiently engineered HVAC return."
