Whirlpool Microwave GH6178
October 29, 2008
I HATE this microwave! We purchased it 4/05 and it has not gone a single year without a repair. After the warranty expired, we bought insurance every year! The most recent breakdown was 9/29/08 and it had to be taken to the shop. We got it back 2 weeks later and it worked for 8 days. We've had magnetrons, inverters, circuit boards--you name it--replaced. Including this latest repair, insurance has paid out $1600+. Better them than me! I asked for a replacement and got a runaround. I figure they'll wait until the piece of junk is more... read full review »

Frigidaire 4.4 Compact Refridgerater
October 29, 2008
After purchasing a compact fridge for college on 8/9/08 we found that the freezer door was broken when moving in. I moved in on the 24 and I called after that weekend to get it fixed. Well after trying very hard to understand the representative I was given a reference number and a dealer to call to have my fridge fixed. After calling a setting up an appointment and awaiting 2 weeks and nice repair man came from Jake's Appliance and took a look at my problem. Which was a broken door that was causing everything to freeze. He said that they... read full review »

Indesit
October 29, 2008
Near enough the entire fridge freezer on this model has rusted from the inside out in under 5 years. It now looks 25 years old, and we have been forced to purchase another fridge freezer yesterday. Needless to say, it WASN'T an Indesit! read full review »

Pacificsales
October 29, 2008
My husband and I just purchased a Viking Refrigerator from Pacificsales in Irvine. We were told it was a "floor model". Upon deliver we discovered that wasn't the true case. It was so badly damaged that our Viking Executive Appliance Repair service would not even touch it. We were given an extensive report of all the damages. Which included electrical taped wires, etc. Come to find out the refrigerator was already previously sold to a customer, they returned it due to damages, the store put it back out and sold it to my family a... read full review »

Goodmans
October 29, 2008
A Goodmans GDB6 Freeview DTV Receiver review - I bought this unit to replace an ALBA Freeview box which suffered tuner failure, so was not pleased when the Goodmans unit failed with the same problem at just over 1 year old. When I complained to Goodmans, I discovered that they are really Alba Radio Ltd. The moral of this story is DON'T BUY anything made by Alba Radio, even if it is badged Goodmans. Apart from the failures, both boxes were slow to react to controls and both needed frequent rebooting. read full review »

Hotpoint
October 29, 2008
I would steer clear of this Hotpoint BF41 because of the low energy rating and high water use. Door seals leak. Very difficult to get parts, even so, very expensive. read full review »

Ariston
October 29, 2008
We bought the Ariston LV62 on the advice of the salesperson who placed this brand "above Westinghouse but not quite Miele". We liked the modern design and at $899 Australian, it was certainly good value, or so we thought. Installation was relatively easy but once we'd completely filled it with dishes and went to use it, it didn't work. Flashing lights everywhere prompted me to call the technical support line who informed me it had a fault with the drainage pump and they would send someone out. I immediately called Domayne... read full review »

Smeg
October 29, 2008
I have yet to find a dishwasher sales person in Comet - from whence I bought this piece of rubbish- who knows what a 12 place setting comprises let alone what size a "dinner" plate should be. I have also learned that as Comet have bought out the manufacturer's guarantee Smeg will do nothing to help or rectify the situation and have basically washed their hands of it even though Comet keep referring me back to them. read full review »

G.E.
October 29, 2008
My G.E. over-the-range microwave stopped heating (still had power) Sept. 28th. We called Lowe's where we bought the microwave less than 4 months prior, and they instructed to contact A&E for service repairs under the manufacturer's warranty. A&E first came out on Oct. 6th and I was told by the tech that we needed a new magnatron for the microwave so he ordered that part. The next week a new tech came out and put the magnatron in and it still did not heat. This tech said we didn't even need a new magnatron but needed a... read full review »

Grimm's Fuel
October 28, 2008
This company is TERRIBLE. I have dealt with them twice now in regards to delivering mulch and other bulk materials (rock, barkdust) and I'm absolutely sure I will never use them again. They are rude on the phone when taking orders from customers. Their system of not being able to give you a window of delivery time (they say "we'll deliver tomorrow, or Tues, as opposed to tomorrow morning between 9am and 11am.) is very compromised. As an industry professional, I employ people by the hour to work for me- if I can't tell them... read full review »

Reported the noise to Beko after 4 months. The bolts have sheared off hence the concrete falling out, and I am being told this machine is repairable. I do not want a 4 month old machine repaired - just a refund for selling me a piece of defective junk. Still in negotiations with the store. read full review »

Indesit WA 133
October 28, 2008
I bought an Indesit washing machine many years ago which lasted me over ten years. I don't think Indesit are building them to last for very long any more! If you intend on buying a brand new washing machine every year then this one is just fine. I wouldn't recommend this washing machine to anyone. It lasted a year then that was it. Towards the end (of twelve months) it just didn't do a good enough job that I would expect a washing machine to do. I won't be buying Indesit products again. read full review »

Servis 6160W
October 28, 2008
If you like spending hours on the phone trying to contact a customer service department to no avail. You like paying over the odds for a extremely noisy washing machine that takes twice as long as it says it will take to complete a wash program. You really look forward to the utter indifference of the visiting repair engineers (you will see many!). You appreciate poorly finished, shoddy goods then any SERVIS washing machine should fulfill your dream! My advice, sit down and tear up £20 notes... it's more fun! read full review »

LG "Premium" Dryer DLE2532W
October 28, 2008
What happened? The Drum separated from back housing rendering the LG Dryer completely useless. The service tech said LG should cover since this was a defective design. LG refuses to cover since it's older than 1 year. History: Purchased a 'premium' LG Dryer. 4 months after purchasing there was a problem with the dryer. Called LG and stated that it was noisy, but service tech they sent out did not find anything wrong so he replaced the motor. 5 months after the warranty was up, the dryer completely stopped... read full review »

Berkline
October 28, 2008
Berkline Recliners are the worst. My recliner that I have only had for 2 years fell apart. The wood fram for the seat broke apart. All the joints where they glue it together are weakening to the point that the chair wobbles and the reclining mechanism will not close. Berkline's only solution for me is to pay their repairman to come to my house. This is only to see what is wrong not to fix anything. Then he will decide how much parts and labor will be at my expense. So much for there motto "furniture to last a lifetime" should be furniture to last 2 years only. read full review »

This company was hired to do a building addition for a Church in Kansas City, Ks. He was paid several thousands of dollars from the Church fund but then refused to pay at least 3 of the subcontractors hired by him in this construction. Owned by Paul W. Russell of Overland Park or Leawood, Ks. This apparently is not the only construction job that he has ripped off people!!!

I have lived with my husband in our mobile home for 14 yrs. I have been seriously ill for about 12 of those years, so my husband did the bills, which is not his strong suit. And he doesn't keep receipts or copies of bills. In 2005 when I took the bills back over, I noticed a balance even though we were paying all our equal monthly payments. I called them and they said it was normal, don't worry alot of their customers have this. Some of it was because at that time, they didn' t balance your account at the end of every year... read full review »

I contracted with ABKA to cut and install granite countertops in my kitchen. They broke several pieces of granite with their carelessness, damaged my cabinets and dishwasher and tried to subsitute a cheaper sink for the one I had provided. Their customer service person was rude and blamed us for her enployees's mistakes. It took seven visits, with one item being forgotten or broken each time, before I gave up. The worst part of this nightmare was when they sent an employee to my house to remove a piece of granite that another... read full review »

SAI is the worst company that I have EVER dealt with! Their Customer support (or lack there of) is paramount to fraudulent! If you ever need to contact them with an issue you can expect between a 35-75 minute phone call and you will NOT get anywhere with it. When you ask to speak to a supervisor or manager they tell you that they do not have one. When you finally convince them that you want to speak to someone higher up, they send you to a voice mail and no one ever calls you back. I have been on the phone with them for no less than 14... read full review »

He insisted that I could trust him and that he would get my insurance company to pay every bit of the charges. He sweetened his deal by offering to put a... read full review »
