Mesh Computers
October 27, 2006
This email as you can see has been forwarded to a few consumer watchdogs I will keep forwarding this e-mail to more consumer watchdogs as I find more. My experience with mesh computers has been both time consumer and very irritating. I brought my computer on-line from www.meshcomputers.com worth £1,300 back in may. After sorting out the finance agreement and awaiting delivery I received my computer in July. The computer worked fine until a month later. The performance slowed down, I experienced intermittent problems with my... read full review »

GE Monogram IceMaker
October 27, 2006
We purchased this icemaker and had it installed when we spec’d out our new Ashton-Woods (a whole other disaster) home in Frisco, Texas. It worked for about 15 months and stopped making ice. We called GE twice and set up a service call, but no one showed up, or called either time. The first appointment was during a weekday, so we took a half-day off of work to wait for them, and the other was a wasted Saturday waiting for the phone to ring. Called GE the following Monday, and, after being on hold a total of 44 minutes with variou... read full review »

Fisher & Paykel DCS 5 burner stove
October 24, 2006
I purchased a DCS 5 burner stove top range 3 years ago. A few months after I bought it the center burner stopped functioning properly. I have tried to have it repaired for over two years but no one has been able to fix it. At the time, there was only one appliance store in my area who carried it and when they couldn't repair it they stopped returning my calls. No one else in the area would try to repair it as they were not familiar with it. Now that there are two other appliance stores in the area carrying Fisher Paykel I am trying again... read full review »

Maytag Neptune front loader washer
October 24, 2006
I bought a Maytag Neptune MAH7500AWW and matching gas dryer 4 years ago. Previous to that I owned a Maytag top loader and matching electric dryer for 25 years. The old machine was being retired for better washing technology (front loader, etc.), and it's a good thing I kept the old machine! In four years: -front panel (touch screen) failed within 2 weeks -motor controller failed at 2 months, and again at 3 months -mold growing in front seal area.

Tristar vacuum
October 24, 2006
I was recently hired to become a Tri-Star vacuum salesman (Not by choice. I'm in college and tuition is due). I've always hated salesmen, but now my hate is even stronger. Long story short, not only did the distributor lie about MY pay and ripped me off, but he is ripping off customers all across northern/central NY (Syracuse). The product is a great product, but all of the sales techniques were dishonest and misleading. He is purchasing the machines at less than $1300 each, and reselling them at $2600. I understand that profit is a... read full review »

Dell Inspiron 5100
October 23, 2006
I bought a Dell Inspiron in 2003. Over the years, about every eight to nine months, the computer would overheat and randomly shut down. I would lose information. My email would get messed up because of it. Each time, tech support would send someone out to replace the faulty fan. It occurred again 1 day before my warranty expired. When I called tech support, I was told that they had to look into the history and would call me back. They never called me back. When I called to find out what the deal was, they told me that they didn't have a... read full review »

I've lost 2 full loads of food, I've had my family of 4 eating out for 2 weeks while waiting for "service". They screwed up the first repair because the tech was trying to help. He didn't want to replace the compressor because he said the replacement will only be warranted for a year. The company claims that is incorrect and now they are... read full review »

The electronics business is deceiving the public when it come to HDTV, HDTV is set at 1080,1080i,1080p Yet it seems common practice for companies to advertise EDTV as HDTV it is not, EDTV is 720,720i,720p which means 720 lines as opposed 1080 lines in HDTV the difference is the same as Night and Day .

My last dealing with Heilig Meyers turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life! In 2000, I purchased a washer/dryer and mattress/box springs. It started going bad right away, because I was paying my payments in advance, and every time I would go in, they would claim I owed a late fee. I would have to argue with them every time a payment was due. Then, without any notice, they closed the store. They never sent me any information whatsoever about where to send payments, or how to contact them in any way. I waited patiently, month... read full review »
