In AWE

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Old

...of speakers in. But good speakers cost money, and with the disappearing profit margins on new PCs chucking in some crap speakers is quite common. For general Windows use you only need bog standard speakers, but then for Windows use you don't need a top of the range soundcard either. The Soundblaster 64 AWE was at the time a top of the range card, and was used professionally not all that long ago, but as time moves on it becomes a budget option for home PC's. Now, first up I better say that mine isn't actually a card, it's integrated on to the motherboard, but to all intents and purposes (according to the manual) it should be as good as having the real card. Windows and Linux think its Soundblaster 64 AWE, so that's good enough for me! First of all, the details. On the back you get 4 slots, a speaker out, mic in and line in, as well as a game...

whirlpool washer

Advantages: washes great low noise
Disadvantages: none

...Well Christmas Eve saw us left without a washing machine as ours decided that it wanted to pack up. This was a pain, as we wanted to get our last bit of washing done and out the way for the next day. Well we had to wait to get Christmas day out of the way and decided to wait till the sales got in full swing. Anyway it is now New Years Eve and there were plenty of places for us to look at now. Firstly we looked online to see what machines were on offer in the various stores, we looked at the usual, Dixons, Argos, Curry?s and Comet etc. Then we saw an ad on tv and went to the Miller Bros website to look the offer over. Our previous washing machine was also a Whirlpool and it lasted for about six years so we got a fair bit of use out of it. Rather than get it fixed and incur labour charges that can make up most of the bills we saw...

Whirlpool Gas Range

Advantages: Push button...compared to dials
Disadvantages: Whirlpool maintenance men could take a while to fix it

...I actually recieved my Whirlpool Gas Range as an early Christmas gift last year. My soon to be father in law and I had went and looked at Gas Ranges the previous day (Keeping in mind...I didn't know he was going to buy one for me...and of coarse I pointed out almost the most expensive one they had!). Well he must not have minded because I woke up the next morning and the guys were taking it out of their truck and into my home! I have wanted a brand new Whirpool with the push buttons (instead of the old dials) for about two years now! I finally have one. Let me start off with some of the features which all Whirlpool Gas Range's have. 1)Oven vents - This is where the hot air and moisture escape from while you are using the oven. 2)Surface burners - These are what you put your pans on to cook the food (flat pans are recommended...

Whirlpool Parts Issue

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Aweful customer service if you have a problem

...I am writing this complaint as a last resort after many hours and money spent trying to resolve this situation. We installed Whirlpool appliance model # RBD275PDS14 (double wall oven) with serial number XR4311868 3 years ago. The following is a chronological list by date of what had transpired regarding our earnest attempts to have our oven repaired. Saturday June 2, 2007: Upper oven was in use at a temperature of 250 degrees. The upper oven outer glass shattered. Friday, June 9, 2007: Called Whirlpool Customer Service @ 1-800-253-1301, and was told that I needed replacement part # 9759072. Part was ordered with order number 1-285635706 at a cost of $105.82. Wednesday, June 13, 2007: Received the replacement part #9759072 and my husband tried to install new front glass...

Whirlpool AWOD4505

Advantages: Queit, very good spin, good wash and overall excellent value!
Disadvantages: Can't really find one.

...A+ Energy efficiency, and while its only got a B rating on Spin, I do think it gives much better performance on that. Washing efficiency is given as A and I would agree with that one. Load weight is 5kg which is fairly standard for machines in this range. I had a Servis machine, and nothing but trouble from the moment we bought it. I have eventually relented and bought this Whirlpool as a direct replacement, costing £185-00 on offer from Co-op direct. I've immediately taken out the *8* year (yes, eight year) warranty for parts for just £25-00! Okay you still would have to pay for labour, but its pretty impressive to find a budget machine with such good warranty on its parts. It has done all we've asked of it so far - and is particularly quiet in operation, especially after the Servis machine I had. It has an anti-crease spin...

Review of Whirlpool AWO/D4505

Beware of whirlpool

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: all

...I had purchased a whirlpool refrigerator (Product: REF / FF Model No: FF 350 Elite Serial No: RM134AVB378744) on 14th November, 2003. from Spectravision, Ashok nagar, Bhubaneswar. My house is just across the road. So I thought, I will get good after-sales service. But it was otherwise. After just six months the refrigerator started showing defects. Some times it did not cool for a few hours. So when I gave complain at the dealer, from whom I purchased it, 'Spectravision', they took one or two days to send some mechanic. By then the problem would have automatically set right, or else the mechanic would do some thing by which it became OK for some days. But it re-occurred time and again. Many times my entire food stock got spoiled just for this. When I threatened to go to consumer court in October 2005, they gave me the mobile number...

whirlpool awo/d4505 - brilliant!

Advantages: quick wash and hand wash programs
Disadvantages: none

...The whirlpool awo/d4505 is a fab washing machine! Altogether there are 4 of us in the house, and I have to do at least 2 loads a day! We have had the machine for 18 months now, and it has never had a problem. There are so many different cycles that you can always find one not only to suit your washing needs but also your timing too. My washing always comes out clean, smelling great - which isn't my experience with previous machines ive had. I use the brilliant 30 minute wash a lot. I have so much to get through, to be able to do a small load and have it drying is fantastic, rather than every load lasting a long time - especially with school uniforms that get yoghurt and paint down them and need to washed and dried by the next morning! PRODUCT INFORMATION The machine has 4 indicators on it. One is to show you when the door...

WHIRLPOOL AWZ3513 - Anti-Crease Just Superb

Advantages: Anti-crease, Price, ease of use
Disadvantages: No Audio Sound Alerts, No Digital Display

...Whirlpool AWZ 3513 - Excellent dryer at a good price. (£170) Lets start with the technical stuff: Load capacity: 6kg Freestanding & vented Energy Efficiency: C Electronic sensor for controlled drying Front Loading Anti-crease function 60cm width (Standard Appliance Size) Ok I have had this tumble dryer for a while now and can honestly say that it has been one of the best buys I have made. The dryer is the vented type which means that you will have to have access to an externall wall to fit the outflow pipe to. The pipe and fittings are supplied in the box for fittment to the tuble dryer end but you will have to arrange your own external wall cover as these are not supplied. In our case this was not a problem as it was a direct replacement for a differnt dryer and as all fittings are of a standard size it was simply a case...

Whirlpool Washing Machine AWM328

Advantages: long reliable life
Disadvantages: basic washing machines

...Had a Whirlpool AWM 328 washing machine for nearly nine years and apart from a new control panel in its first year, used to just stop before starting spin cycle, never had another problem until just yesterday evening when in the middle of the spin cycle it started to make a horrible clanking sound and had to rush to turn it off. Looks like drum bearing has just gone and died. 8 years is pretty good going I think, and we do a lot of heavy full loads when son is home from uni, usually at least three in a row with no rest periods, this is not including the average of two washes a week that we normally do. Funny thing is that son had same washer left in house that he moved in to lasy January and that one died the same death just three weeks ago. Weird, or what. Anyway, I am currently on line just looking at the range of new Whirlpool...

Undercounter fridge - The Whirlpool ARC 0850

Advantages: Nice features for price. Fits well under counter
Disadvantages: None as yet

...An under counter Fridge from Whirlpool, with a good amount of space (143 litres net) for its overall size. Some of the techincal spec: Weight: 35 kgs. Energy Consumption kwh / year is 117 It is Energy Savings Trust recommended It is HFC/CFC Free Energy Efficiency Rating is classified as A+ height x width x depth (mm) 850x600x620 It has 3 glass shelves and 2 separate crisper draws, door shelves and also a diary compartment.

It arrived well packaged, and after letting it settle after transport and turing it on, it was quickly at a nice cool temperature. It has Auto Defrost facility (as you would expect with most fridges today) but one nice little touch is the lips on the glass...
