Review of Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls

Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Even though there was only one review on this wine cellar when I bought it, I decided to go ahead and take the chance on this gift for my husband. The other reviewer said that it is really noisy and I would have to disagree somewhat. If you're looking for a refrigerator that is perfectly silent, this is not; however, it is not disturbingly loud. It has a fan that kicks in to keep it cool & it's the equivalent of the hum of a desktop computer. It doesn't bother me since it's in the kitchen with other noisy refrigerators, dish washers, etc. This unit is a great size -holds just the right amount of bottles that you'd want to chill, it is a very sleek design (although the one we received was not all silver like the one in the picture, it has a stainless door but black on the sides/back) and compliments our other appliances. It easily holds 8 bottles and the door closes easily even with wine stoppers in the bottles. I would definitely recommend getting this one with the digital controls it's worth having the ease of temp control with the push of a button & always being able to tell how cold it is. It holds temperature beautifully and we've had no problems with it so far. Cheers!

I purchased this as a christmas present for my husband. I agree with many of the posts, it is a little noisy, but not anymore than any refrigerator. It did a great job, made two buck chuck even taste good! But after two months, it stopped cooling, other wise I woud have given it a higher rating, BUT even though it was a pain to have it die, Haier was wonderful to work with. I called them and they did some trouble shooting with me and agreed, the unit was dead. They emailed me a form to put our serial tag on and fa it in. We are waiting now for our new unit. So I have to give it an extra star for good customer service.

04-28-2013 I have lowered this to a 1 star and I am still getting run around from the company about return. I doubt I will ever see my unit or money.

Do not buy from this company!!

05-04-2013 I wrote an email via Amazon's contact page. Amazon was amazing. They sent me a new fridge OVERNIGHT and a return label to return the old unit. Amazon solved the issue for me in 2 days. If you look at BBB, you will Haier has an F rating and huge amounts of the same complaint I had, never resolved. Thank you Amazon for caring about your customers!!

Right out of the box, it plugs right into the outlet and begins cooling. One of the reviews said that it was way too loud, but mine hardly makes any sound at all. In fact, you forget it's there, it's so quiet. Perhaps that person's cellar was faulty, who knows all I know is, this is a great little cellar and keeps the perfect temperature.

Honest reviews on Haier HVTM06ABS 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls

Pro: compact, nice look, and the wine is at the correct temperature, ( 55 F) Con: This cooler is way too loud.

If I knew that the interior fan made that much noise I will no purchase it.

I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this item based on reviews for other, larger wine cellars by this manufacturer, but I'm very happy that I went with this one. I think the larger cellars might have too much volume for the cooler to keep up, so they don't work as well, but this one seems to keep an even temperature throughout. It looks very nice, with a blue LED on the inside that you can leave on or turn off. The digital controls are easy to use and make it trivial to keep your cellar at whatever temperature you prefer. When you open the door you can see the temperature go up a few degrees, but it only takes a few minutes to go back down to the setpoint. The racks are shaped only for a standard bottle size, but you can put unusually shaped bottles, like champagne bottles, on the bottom and they fit just fine. Also, there's enough clearance that you can still close the door with bottles that have been opened and re-corked inside. Other reviewers complained about the cellar being loud, but I can't even hear it over the sound of my air conditioner. I'm also really happy with the size because it can sit on my kitchen counter without being a nuisance.

I used this part to fix my Jenn-Air microwave. Works great! Plus I have a spare!

It wasn't an exact fit, but I made it fit easy enough (it's a little bigger, bending the mounting tabs got it to fit). It has the same cut-off temperature as the original, so it is perfect. Plus I saved at least $25 as the OEM piece is significantly marked up. While I waited for the part, I put a jumper over the thermostat. The thermostat was located over the magnetron. I knew the thermostat was the problem as the ohm reading was higher than near zero. Plus I checked the magnetron to make sure it wasn't getting too hot.

Excellent Heater. I installed one in bathroom about 8 years ago. Heater still works great. Thermostat is fairly consistant. Must be cleaned regularly. That is the secret to keeping it working satisfactorily.

Started out by replacing a toilet and ended up with a new floor and a new heater. And other things. The Nautilus was a good style and fit for what I was dealing with. It is quiet and provides more than enough heat for any bathroom. The thermostat works properly and the style is unobstrusive.

It is easy to access the wiring and to take out the innards so that you have access to mount the box in different ways (not all installations are new construction as you may know!). This also makes it easy to service it and I was happy that it came with a parts diagram, always a good sign.

I found it to be a good and thoughtful design for a decent price. It is recommended.

If you are looking for a heater fan unit that replaces your old Broan heater, this is it.

This heater fan is an exact match to its decades old product.

It fit the existing opening within a sixteenth of an inch.

However if you are looking for an improved product, this is not it.

It has the same loud fan noise as the old one.

It will require the same periodic cleaning to keep it running.

It will need to be removed annually to be cleaned and oiled.

For the price it is a good product and will last ten to fifteen years, but if want a quiet heater, pay moe and buy a unit with a better fan.

My husband installed this in a 8 by 5 ft room with toilet and shower. Now it's warm and toasty when I come out of the shower; heats up nicely from the regular room temp of about 68, so that shaving my legs is not a 'drafty project' in winter!

I purchased one of these units approx. 4 months ago. At first all was working fine, then a couple days ago I noticed a leak under the sink. I quickly traced the problem to the Quick and Hot tank. I removed the tank and opened up the housing thinking that it may be a loose fitting or something simple. What I found was that two of the three studs that hold the heating element to the tank were completely broken off and laying on the bottom of the tank housing. Since the element was no longer pulled tight to the gasket through the tank, water was leaking around it. I contacted Waste King and was told that since I did not pruchase the unit from an AUTHORIZED dealer they would not cover the warranty. This was obviously poor workmanship and I even offered to purchase a new element, but was told that they do not sell parts and would not offer any other assistance. Sorry you are just out $160. Thanks Waste King. I'll be purchasing a new one from a different manufacturer. I would urge others to do the same.

I used this unit as a replacement for the Hot Water Heater on a Franke Little Butler that failed after 7 years. The heating unit is almost identical, except was a later revision and had the Waste King label instead of the Franke brand on it. Works as advertised and functions identically to the unit it replaced.

This is my second unit. The first was installed by the previous owner so I don't know how old it was I'm guessing 5 years old at least. It started leaking and was spitting hard water deposits into the water. After removing and taking apart the tank, I realized that the heating element was still good and if there had been an easy way to disassemble it for element and tank cleaning, I could still be using it except for the leak. The leak developed in the hose that sends the hot water to the faucet. This delivery hose is flexible and must be some sort of high temperature tubing, but eventually it gives out. Could not find a replacement hose or easy way to remove it from the faucet so I ended up buying a new unit. Overall I enjoy the unit and the convenience of hot water on demand, but I wish that replacement parts were more readily available (hot water tubing) and that the tank could be flushed. Just like your main hot water heater, if you have hard water, you are going to eventually get mineral deposits on the element and tank, but that drawback won't keep me from buying it again.

Honest reviews on Waste King AH-1300-C Quick and Hot Instant Hot Water Tank

The unit dispenses hot water. The water can be extremely hot. Yet the rubber hose that this thing comes with cannot handle the job. In 1 years time, the heat from the unit will degrade the hose until it is busted and leaks water. The hose is a special hose that can't be found easily in hardware store to replace. The manufacturer don't even sell the hose. Unless you want to buy a brand new hot water faucet every time you have a busted hose, I don't recommend you buy this. Luckily I bought this unit from Costco and I can return it. But save yourself the trouble and just don't buy this.

I've used my Quick and Hot for multiple years now. The original faucet part of the system failed and leaked and I replaced it last year. The new faucet is now leaking water under the sink. The source of the leak is the rubber hose that feeds the hot water from the tank to the faucet. The high temperature hose

seems to have deteriorated, the leaking area is thin and now soft. I searched all the local big and small hardware and plumbing stores in my area. They don't carry or sell high temperature hoses. The original one is rated to 275 degrees. The Waste King website is useless for consumer help. Not wanting to spend another 100 bucks on a new faucet, I used a piece of 1/4 copper tubing. I attached a piece of good original hose to each end of the copper tube and secured it with a small hose clamp. Under the hose clamp I wrapped a couple layers of teflon tape to protect the rubber hose from the metal clamp. So far works great and should last until the rubber hose fails again. Waste King should redesign the unit without the rubber hose.

Hard to get too picky with an inexpensive Thermostat. It seems to work pretty well above 45C, but near the low (30C) end it is always switched off. The metal dial plate doesn't come with screws to attach it to the control either.

I had a Lux programmable thermostat before this one, but it had some issues with my heat pump system... so I purchased this as a replacement. I've used it for roughly a month or two now, and it has worked flawlessly.

Like the Lux t-stat I had previously, it has four daily programs. During the winter, I have mine set to warm the house before I wake up, keep the house cool when I'm at work, warm it back up before I come home, and cool it down when I'm sleeping. Unlike the Lux t-stat I had, this allows you to have a nighttime setting after midnight. For example, I have my latest setting to bring the house to 65 at 12:30am. The Lux t-stat wouldn't let me do that, because it's technically the next day, but this one accounts for that... which is helpful. You can choose a different set of programs for the weekend. Unlike some programmable t-stats, this one forces you to use the same program for Sat and Sun, instead of having separate programe for each of those days. It's not an issue for me, but it may be for some people. There are other t-stats that allow you to set Sat and Sun separately.

If you change the temperature manually, it will override the program until the next time interval that you set. If you decide to take a vacation, you can set the temperature manually, and press the 'hold' button to override the program until you release it yourself.

The screen is backlit when you change a setting, so you can see what you're doing at night.

Also, a really cool feature that I liked is that the t-stat learns how long it takes your house to change temperatures. Instead of toggling your heat at the time you set it to, it will toggle the heat earlier, so your house reaches the temperature you set by the time you specify. This means if you come home at 6, you don't have to set your heater to turn on at 5.... you set it to 6, and the heater will turn on at the time it learned it needs to turn on to get your house warm by 6.

The only issue I have with this is the aux heat. I wish there was a way to fine-tune how the auxiliary heating works. I'm not even sure how it works now it seems to turn on at random, and not when it makes sense (ie when it's extremely cold outside). I'm not a heating expert, so there may be a reason for this, but my old thermostat seemed to manage it better.

In any case, I definitely recommend this if you're looking for a heat pump programmable thermostat this works on both the heat pump and air conditioning side of things. Haven't tried the AC features yet, but I'm sure it'll be fine :)

This is a great functionally equivalent replacement for the Honeywell 8100 series heat pump thermostat. The terminals aren't exactly the same but I was able to figure out what went where by looking at the installation manuals for the old unit and the new one and lining up the functions.This unit is not billed as a homeowner installable (consumer grade) unit but I had no trouble installing it myself on my 2 stage heat, single stage cool heat pump. You'll need to know what kind of system you have, gas heat, electric heat etc but once you have the information you need, this is an easy install.

Best Deals on Honeywell TH4210D1005 Electronic Programmable Thermostat

My experience was on the TH4100D1007 model, but applies to this model too. After changing the batteries on the unit, the unit stopped working correctly . After trouble shooting on my own and reading up online, it was very clear it was the motherboard. I called honeywell, and they said the installing plumbing contractor would have to be called ( 80$ service call NOT to be covered under the 5 year warranty) in order for the licensed contractor who originally purchased the unit would have to be the one to file a claim. What if they are no longer in business! I told them I would happily pay for the replacement cost, but they said they could do nothing without the contractor calling and the contractor can't call unless they come out for a 80$ service call. Now that I know this "racket" , I would like everyone to know to ask their heating contractor to put in a "non-professional" thermostat that can be purchased at home depot , lowes , etc. That way i can serviced by you without the expensive service calls. I think Honeywell could have given me a chance to just get a new faceplate. They were unfriendly about it as well. Stay away from any models that start in TH and go for the PTH and save a lot of time and money.

Honest reviews on Honeywell TH4210D1005 Electronic Programmable Thermostat

It works as stated. No real problems here, but I hate this thermostat so much. The design was made by an engineer with no sense of intuition at all. When you look at it, it seems like a cluster***k of meaningless button. You get what you pay for though. There is a reason why this is on deep discount. The product experience just sucks. It's confusing. On top of that the pullout instructions barely tell you anything. They're barely instructions. I can't believe a huge company like this made such a crappy product. I had to watch a YouTube video to understand it -and I'm not old either, I'm not even 40 years old! I use computers and everything, but I found this to be dumb, dumb, dumb.

For example... Why is there no button, so that I can activate the light and see the screen, hm? And the language they use is confusing.

These things should be easier to use. I turn a wheel and set the temperature, then it remembers my preferences, and I can just leave it. That's how it should be. A wheel, a digital display to show me what's going on, and an on/off switch. In this day and age that shouldn't be too hard, should it? Then again there's always the "you get what you pay for" idea. A Nest Thermostat costs almost $200.

Since this thermostat is for a heat pump it has a lot of wires. I found typical wiring instructions online and was able to install it myself. It is so nice to set the temperatures for different parts of the day and not have to worry about turning it up and down. Keep the pullout card handy and you'll have no problem changing settings.

This shower was installed as part of a full renovation to our bathroom, I was a bit worried because we were having trouble finding a unit with this style that was of good quality, but not in the $5000 range. It was either cheap units with a lot of plastic, or the very high priced ones. My only complaint, and this is something I never have to complain about when items are shipped directly from Amazon, but this one was, is that the unit was shipped only in it's original box and by the time it was delivered on my doorstep, the box was open at one end and the parts inside were scattered so that we weren't sure if everything was there until it was time to install it a month later. As a told Amazon in my review of the packaging, I've recieved $4 non-fragle items much better packaged than my $1500 shower. After installation (all parts were there), the shower is very classy and we love it. Note to whoever is installing this, the instuctions are very clear about the depth of the rough plumbing in the wall, our contractor found out the hard way that there is NO give or take a 1/4" like there is when installing a unit with a roughing valve, he had to cut into the wall behind after the tile was installed to re-adjust the depth, but it was his fault, the instructions were clear about this.

This is an excellent product and we love it. The controls are are creatively designed and function properly. The only thing to look out for is making sure your plumber does not do a short negative angle on the shower head extension or you will get a slow leak on top of your head when drying.

Alright, first the negatives:

1. I have the chrome finish, and it picks up hard water spots pretty easily.

2. This is not a high pressure shower, more like a firm rain. If you are looking to me pulverized, this is not it.

3. All of our houseguests want to use our shower now.

That said, it's gets 5 stars from me and my SO. We have two of them in the master shower and they are fantastic. Really a treat to shower in them every day (2 months in now).

We get comments on them anytime someone sees them.

My husband and I just got our first Bunn coffee maker and we couldn't be happier. We weren't sure if we wanted to invest that much money in a coffee maker, but after trying several other brands that just didn't last, we decided to get the Bunn. I love the way this model looks, with it's updated styling and rounded design, and my husband loves not having to wait for his first cup of coffee. The coffee tastes great and the temperature is just perfect. I had read some reviews of Bunn coffee makers that warned of the coffee being dispensed so quickly that it sprayed out all over the place, but we haven't had that trouble at all. I did make sure to buy Bunn filters, though, because they are taller than the other brands. This coffee maker looks great in my kitchen, and is so easy to clean up, too. It was very well designed--even down to the carafe, which pours easily without having to be turned upside down to get out the last drop. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who makes coffee daily. It will most certainly be money well spent!

My coffeemaker just arrived yesterday, and most of the time I don't write reviews for products, but I couldn't wait to tell about this product. First, it takes about 20 minutes to set up, but it is easy. I set it up the night before, and couldn't wait until the next morning to try it out. The concept is so greatyou only use the amount of water you put in. It really brews in 3 minutes of less-I made a half of a pot so it was less time. I will have to experiment with the amount of grounds, as it makes weaker coffee with the same amount of grounds that I used for the cheapo, takes forever, old coffee maker. I had to get some type of new coffee maker as my old one was making coffee that was bitter. I have never paid more than $20.00 at Wally World for one, but something had to be done. I am delighted. I definately think it is worth the price, and I can see that it will last a long time. I was suprised after ordering this and going to a friend's house I saw her with a Bunn maker. She told me that is the only kind she uses. I also love the instant hot water. It is quiet-no gurgles. Another nice feature is the porcelain warmer. Also, the carafe doesn't drip or spill-it pours beautifully. My old one spilled while pouring and was very annoying. I will definately take everyone else's advice and only use the Bunn filters. I am very happy with my purchase, and Amazon has always been good to me.

While we were pleased with the quality of the coffee produced, we are totally fed up with its leaking and dumping water. We live in a rural area and at least a couple of times a year the power goes out. This coffee pot has a 'vacation' setting that you use when on vacation. If you unplug appliances when you travel you'll return to a counter full of water and an empty coffee maker. Unfortunately, if the power goes out, the coffee maker decides that it has been unplugged and dumps its contents all over the counter.

Also, after years of ones that turn themselves off after a couple of hours, it is annoying to spend this much for one and have that basic feature missing. One instance of brain rot could easily burn down your house if you forget to turn off the pot before leaving the house.

Honest reviews on BUNN NHB-W Professional 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White

This is a great coffee maker. It lives up to all of its claims and more. It truly does make the coffee in three minutes or less and the coffee tastes wonderful. The fact that it sprays the ground coffee instead of drowning it makes for a smooth and rich cup of coffee. I really like the pour spout on the pot as they found a way that makes it dripless. So far it has worked consistently fine in all ways. The attention to every small detail truly shows in the results. You can pay more or pay less, but this coffee maker lives up to its reputation and is well worth the price.

I got my second Bunn coffeemaker this past Christmas after our first one finally started wearing out. I have always loved how coffee tastes in restaurants and wished my coffee would come out that way at home. I typically saw Bunn coffeemakers in restaurants so I told my husband that I wish I could have one of those for home, but at the time, I knew I wouldn't have one as I thought they were just expensive and large commercial grade machines and not made for home use. Well, a few years ago, my husband surprised me with a home Bunn coffeemaker for Christmas and I was amazed at how great the coffee tasted just like in a restaurant! I knew then that the Bunn coffeemaker would be the only coffeemaker we would ever buy from now on. So, again, I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased to open another Bunn coffeemaker for Christmas to replace our aged one. I HIGHLY recommend this coffeemaker.

I was looking to replace five of the typical, round Honeywell thermostats in our home with programmables. After a bit of research I chose the 90 series White-Rodgers. This thermostat was among those recommended by Consumer Reports. The features that were important to me were: 7-day programming to accommodate a somewhat wacky schedule, automatic transition between cooling and heat cycles, permanent storage of programmed options and schedules (non-volatile memory), and ease of use.

So far I have installed and programmed all units and we have been running the cooling schedule. I have been very, very impressed. The units are solidly and smartly built. The wall plate has a connection block to which the main body presses onto. That made installation simple and secure. The large, blue back-lit display is easy to read and the touch screen easy to use. Options and menu are well thought out.

You can set up each thermostat with 2 or 4 periods per day, different for each of seven days of the week (there is also a 5-1-1 option.) While the label of the 2 or 4 periods is the same (example, Day or Night on the 2 period option) the start time for each day can be different. For example, Day can be 5:00 AM on one day and 7:00 AM on another. You set the time and temperature for each period, a separate set of entries for cooling and heating. They provide a Copy function which makes it very easy to replicate the settings to all days or a single day. It uses year, month, day logic and therefore can handle daylight savings time changes automatically.

The temperature hold feature has two options. You can temporarily override the temperature within a schedule period, which will revert to the programmed temperature when the next period triggers, or a permanent hold. Another nice feature is Energy Management Recovery which makes it possible to set the desired temperature at a given time. The unit will start the heating/cooling prior to that time so the desired temperature is reached.

There are a number of other features that shouldn't be dismissed, like keypad lockout and the change filter reminder.

I see in some threads complaints about digital thermostats because of the "click" that occurs when the unit activates heating or cooling. While there is a click from the White-Rodgers, it is hardly noticeable.

None of these programmables are inexpensive but I believe that the quality and design of this product earns the price tag. Someone really thought about the user when they put this together.

First time replacing a thermostat.

Compared several units on-line and bought this one mainly on looks. I love the large blue screen. Very easy to use and operate.

Very easy to install (though I had to call customer service once because my old unit had an extra jumper. They answered and answered my question quickly). Works great.

Only drawback would be the interface of the installer menu. Nothing to help you keep track of what step you are on. Luckily this is a first-time and one-time set up step. So no biggie.

a few down sides....screen is dark until you touch one of the control icons, but once you touch a control icon to light the screen so that it is easily visible you have begun a program change such as temp change up or down, fan on off, etc..

the other down side is that if you run a hold program and adjust the time to reset to original programming then that new time delay becomes the new hold program delay. If you are gone for a few days and set the hold for 72 hours then every time you hold again it is set at 72 hours instead of resetting to a standard 4 hour reset.

I still am very pleased with the choice because it is one of only a few thermostats that controls the fan by programming as well as the temperature.

Honest reviews on White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Touchscreen Thermostat

A few years ago, we were looking to save energy (and money!) by replacing the old non-programmable Honeywell round thermostats we had controlling the heating zones at our church. The difficulty is that we have an older 3-wire zone system that is incompatible with just about every electronic thermostat in the world. Except this one.

So we bought them out of necessity (we're using 6 of them), but the White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 blue touch-screen thermostat has far exceeded out expectations and proven its worth in many other ways. The 7-day programming lets me adjust for the various activities and schedules of events in the church. The "partial lockout" feature lets the users of particular room adjust the temperature if they're around outside of the scheduled occupancy time, without messing up the schedule or "hold"ing a temperature for too long. You can set high and low temperature setting limits to prevent people from turning the heat up too high or the a/c down too low.

Best thermostat I've ever seen. More features than we'll ever need, but we found a few surprising ones that made our lives a whole lot easier. And in the first year, we saw heating savings of about $2000. How's that for return on investment?

Simple outstanding!!! Easy to use and to program. I bought two of these for my business because of the advantage that you can lock the system so no one is changing the temperature, and at the same time I am starting to see the savings by having different temperature settings for closed hours. You can also take the unit to your desk to make changes on your settings. Very good product indeed.
