General Electric RPWF Refrigerator Water Filter

CUSTOMER REVIEW



The product works as expected but I do not understand why a piece of charcoal wrapped in plastic cost so much money. Yes, I have taken my old one apart.

GoPro HERO3+: Silver Edition

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Be aware when purchasing that there are some aspects to the new "improved" lens that may not be for everyone. This week it has been fairly well documented (and confirmed by GoPro) that while the new lens produces much sharper images under 4', they are blurrier at distances greater than 4'. It does NOT focus at infinity. For reasons not fully explained, they moved the focal point of the lens in close and sacrificed distance clarity.



Update at bottom.



You will get great shots under 4' and soft focus beyond that. Depending on what you want it for, this camera may not be for you and the regular H3 might be a better bet. Since this is an effect of the lens it applies to both stills and video. On the other hand, it's still a decent small action camera, and if you take a lot of video in motion you may not notice this at all. For YouTube uploads and streaming it may not matter, I haven't tested this myself. If you want better clarity in your images the 3B is a good choice. I personally will play with it this week before deciding if I should return it. (Update: it's going back.)



It boggles the mind that they have produced a camera that claims to have a better lens and ignored the fact that it is in fact worse for 90% of what you'll be filming. Great clarity on your handlebars but not so good on the scenery.



Edit: other pluses- the color is much better with the 3+ than the 3. Low light shooting is also better, although sometimes lens flare from lights is a little worse, sometimes better. No more chromatic aberration (yellow/purple fringing). Just do some reading before buying this, they made some trade-offs in the new lens.



Updated 10/17:



Well after comparing the two (3+B and 3B) this week, there are some more problems that have had me downgrade this to a 3 star. For one, the right and left sides of the images on the 3+ are smeared. I mean really distorted, and I'm not using SuperView. Additionally the contrast seems to be set too high, causing some loss of detail in the shadows and blowing out whites a bit. This at least is changeable with a firmware update if they choose to do so. The blurry edges put me over the edge and I'm returning it. It's too bad, it's almost a great camera, with some nice improvements, but the lens is a definite problem, and not necessarily an improvement... certainly not 33% sharper.

Danby Designer DAR044A1BDD Compact All Refrigerator, 4.4 Cubic Feet

CUSTOMER REVIEW



We originally purchased a compact fridge to keep downstairs. Rush, not full knowledge of how different these work,was #1 Priority when I became wheelchair bound and spent most of my time on the lower level of our home. The wrong decision (freezer never used) resulted in a freon leak because the freezer had never been defrosted.



After getting the 3-yr-old mistake (not an Amazon product) outside, I went on a hunt for info on what would seem as an easy task. I followed the advice of NO freezer and use of metal shelves (keeps everything evenly cold). With those parameters in mind, I inserted my Amazon search criteria and instantaneously received the perfect result: Danby Designer DAR044A1BDD Compact All Refrigerator, 4.4 Cubic Feet. It only took a half a day to recognize its sizable storage capacity without the fear of ice build-up and the free flow of cold air passing through the laminated steel open shelves.



Reasonably priced and Prime 2-day free delivery. If you are a parent looking for the best compact fridge for a dorm room, this most definitely what you want. Worth every penny of the approx. online price of 200 bucks.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera (White)

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I looked for a reliable, classy-looking Polaroid camera as a wedding reception guest book. After thorough research, I determined Instax was cheaper and just as reliable, if not more, than the new Polaroid instant cameras. Both cameras function similarly and use the same film; yet Instax has better reviews and is cheaper. The 8S has a few extra bells and whistles: a clip-on lens for close-up pictures, light/dark and indoor/outdoor settings, the mirror on the front of the camera, and two shutter buttons for either landscape or portrait photographs. Also, the lithium batteries are not hard to find for sale online; I haven't had to replace ours yet, but we know that availability and price would afford on inconvenience.

I have loved it; it was perfect for the party and I still use it frequently. The film is fairly inexpensive, so we continue to use it. The pictures are the size of a credit card with white borders, and the camera comfortably fits in a small purse. On our honeymoon, the good quality allowed us to take pictures of us in front of landmarks and beautiful areas. Also, a little mirror resides on the front of the camera to facilitate quick self-portraits, which can be taped later into journals as keepsakes. Learning which lighting settings work best in certain conditions took some trial and error, but every picture turned out vintage-y and fun, so no film was wasted.

One last word on durability: I didn't have the wrist strap around my arm and accidentally dropped the camera on a ceramic-tiled floor. The film flew out of the back of the camera, but nothing broke off or dented. The camera still looks great and functions optimally, and I only lost the top film, the rest of the cartridge still printed great pictures. That was a while ago, and I haven't had any problems at all!

Maytag UKF-8001, UKF8001AXX, UKF8001AXXT, UKF8001AXX-750, UFK8001AXX-750, Water Filter Made by Swift Green

CUSTOMER REVIEW



While the filter seems to work just fine, I believe they intentionally left out the capacity in its description. If you were comparing this filter with the Maytag UKF8001 Pur Refrigerator Cyst Water Filter 1-Pack it should be noted that the UKF8001 has a capacity of 750 gallons and the Swift Green filter only has a capacity of 300 gallons, so you would go through 2.5 Swift Green filters to equal one PUR filter which makes it 1 2/3 times more expensive to use.



As for me I'm going back to the PUR filters, and if you use the "Subscribe and Save" option through Amazon it comes out to be 1/2 the true cost of the Swift Green filter.
