J. D. Dowling Professional Pools
March 25, 2008
We signed a contract to build our pool in October and should be finished in six weeks. Well it was March 15 months later and we finally had to pay other contractors to finish our pool. It has leaked every since being built. We paid $5000.00 for a waterfall that had to be to be demolished and rebuilt because of poor construction and leaks. Had to drain and acid wash and refill the pool. The spa doesn't work. The turbo cell doesn't work. We are in the process of suing them currently for damages to our driveway and for all repairs to... read full review »

Kohler
March 25, 2008
Purchased a Kohler toilet and sink last year. The toilet is K-4609-AA, 1.6 GPL. From the beginning every approximately two weeks to a month, when we flushed, the commode would not empty. We have had plumbers out a number of times and they replaced all the flushing mechanisms and rotor routed everything. When the commode backs up, everything else drains. The last two plumbers told me the problem was in the unit itself. The last one had 25 years experience and stated that he has seen this type problem with some kohler toilets before. read full review »

Ridgeview Condominium
March 24, 2008
This contractor attempts to go outside your written contract for more pay with "add ons" not contained within your contract. These "add ons" include: changing the labor rate, adding an additional $150 for the first man hour onsite, additional billing for travel time to procure supplies and materials purchased (when they were provided), travel time for two workers at $75/hour to and from a warehouse that doesn't exist! The invoices are repeatedly doctored, and Michael McVale posted libelous notices at the worksite stating he had not been paid, when he had more than 30 days before! read full review »

This company should not be allowed to be in business. Besides his poor quality and numerous promised deliveries this owner is the most verbally abusive person we have ever done business with. He is all full of promises of owning his own work rooms and praises of perfection but once he gets your money and starts making numerous mistakes he is ready to throw you away. Has becomes a totally out of control person when he is told he did something wrong always blaming that he has headaches. He did four rooms at the same time in our house and he had... read full review »

Value City Furniture

We bought 8 wooden chairs, 4 tables, a sofa, loveseat and chair from this company in 2004. The salesman enticed us with a warranty that supposedly would cover repair or replacement on any of these goods and was good till 2009. As he explained, it didn't matter what happened to the furniture - if we spilled something on it, cushions got flat, the frame broke because the kids were playing, cat peed or scratched it up...dog chewed up the pillow. We took the warranty. The chairs have been replaced 4 times already because the legs keep... read full review »

GE Appliance

I am very frustrated by the way GE Electric labor policy/cost works. My GE microwave was not working. I called the number that was supplied and was told that a serviceman would be out in two days. I was told the service call/diagnostic test would cost $74.99. When I asked about labor cost, I was told that labor depended on the job. OK, sounds good. My window was from 1-5 pm. The serviceman arrived at 6:45 pm. ALMOST TWO HOURS LATE & COULD HAVE CARED LESS. He proceeded to tell me that the door hinge needed to be replaced {still not sure if... read full review »

Cornerstone Replacement Windows Inc.

A salesman for this company came to our house Nov. 28, 2007 and talked to us about windows. After a display of the windows we foolishly signed a contract to have 3 windows replaced. He said they would be installed in 6 weeks. A man came out a week later & took measurements & that was the last we heard from the company until we finally called them on Jan. 23, 2008 to see what the problem was. We were told we weren't even on an install list & would have to start calling every Monday to see if we were on the list yet. We had also... read full review »

The night before the delivery, we had a phone call from the store telling us, they can deliver the fridge but the freezer would be about 3 weeks.

Leather Shoppes Inc

Worst experience ever. Purchased Palliser Horizons top of the line leather furniture from them. Furniture was several weeks late, delivery was a nightmare, and the chair had holes in the leather (from the factory) and they refuse to replace it. Leather Shoppes says Palliser will repair but not replace it. I paid top dollar for NEW furniture - not repaired furniture! This chair belongs in the factory seconds section - not new section! Way to stand behind your products!!! Wish I had just bought Natuzzi furniture instead. read full review »

I have read several complaints on the internet and agree with this: Pros - when working properly this vacuum is amazing! As others have said, it picks up an amazing amount of dirt and hair. The tools are versatile and mostly effective, and the theories behind the self-cleaning filter & bottom-emptying dirt cup are ingenious. However... Cons - it doesn't long for the "self-cleaning" HEPA filter to become clogged with pet hair. The hair, along with the dirt, dust, and assorted allergens come falling out just from... read full review »

Echoing the sentiments of another reviewer: SHOP HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

When I tried to rectify the mistake they wanted me to pay to ship back the product and charge me a 15% restocking fee. I finally relented but then my e-mails where ignored.

We signed the contract not knowing we only had a 3 day cancellation period and the alarm stopped working on the second week. We called Apex alarm and they sent out a tech.

Yesterday, while cooking dinner, I turned the GE wall oven (model: JTP85BA2BB) on to bake at 350 degrees.

I opened the oven and noticed that the bake element (bottom of oven) was burning as if it was a big slow fuse (no, there was no grease involved). The fire looked like a "magnesium fire" or the fire you see when welding where the heat/light/fire is very localized but hot and bright. The element proceeded to burn and I attempted... read full review »
