Ionice Pro.
August 3, 2007
I had a defective ionic pro. because i could not find the receipt, they required I purchase a "five year warranty" for 29.95 USD. And they said they could not ship me a replacement until they received my old unit. They received the old unit on July 16 (today is Aug 2) and they charged my account. Since then I have been trying to find out when my replacement would arrive. They give me a number to call that when I do call either tells me that since I purchased retail I have to call another number, OR when I call the other number I get a... read full review »

Yardwork
August 3, 2007
Bought a tree pruning saw- brought it home, cut off about three branches and small ones at that- it fell apart, repaired it myself [7miles to Can Tire and no service there anyway]- back to work and it fell apart again in a different place- all this in the space of 2 hrs.- Will have to fix it again myself as the store has only 16 yr kids and the odd bored housewife working there- no real technical talent [I hold a couple of valid journeyman trades tickets and have a more than full shop]. The problem is that over and above the 50 bucks it cost... read full review »

Champion Windows - Albany, NY
August 2, 2007
Recently I unfortunately purchased some windows from Champion Windows out of Albany, NY. My wife and I stopped by their showroom (very impressive) and spoke with a representative who took us through a series of testing booths & demonstrations. The presentation was quite impressive, showing how their window incorporated special glass and frame structures that really seemed superior to everything else that we had seen. They had chilling mist containers, and UV testers that compared their product against the competitors. I went home that... read full review »

Jenn-Air
August 2, 2007
Here is a letter I sent earlier this year about my crappy Jenn-Air mixer. I got zero response from these jokers at Whirlpool/Maytag/Jenn-Air. Never, never again will I buy any product from this pathetic American company, which makes Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Kitchen Aid products. It's unfortunate when American companies seem to go out of their way to alienate their customers, driving them to buy overseas products. April 6, 2007 Jeff M.

Eureka Forbes India, Water Purifier-Reviva
August 2, 2007
I purchased a water purifier machine from Eureka Forbes, Aquagaurd Reviva RO, in the first quarter of 2006 in Varanasi city. The sales personal Mr. Pradeep Rai came to my home to sale the product and installed it. During one year of warrantee period he came several times to check the performance of machine. So we were quite satisfied with the service. But on July 6, 2007 after almost one year he came and suggested me to make a service contract for one year in RS.1600/- which covers free service and damages if any. So I agreed and gave him the... read full review »

Spa de Soleil
August 2, 2007
Just thought to share our bad experience with Spa de Soleil. My wife had ordered the sauna shower spa equipment from this vendor last year. It's supposed to have both the regular shower and steam function. After we had this unit assembled together by a professional, we were told that the unit only has the shower mode and not both. To make long story short, this vendor blamed that my wife ordered that particular model. It makes absolutely no sense to spend couple grands just for the regular shower unit, where we can purchase it at... read full review »

I purchased a very expensive washer and dryer a few years ago that was h an energy star. After I bout it they pulled it form the market and I found out they had been receiving many complaints about the product prior to the model I purchased. I bought a multi year service agreement and within the first 2 years Sears came to my apt. 5/6 times to clean out my washer/ dryer or fiddle around with it to make it work.

Maytag Washer and Dryer
August 1, 2007
I purchased a new Maytag washer and dryer in 2002. I bought Maytag because of the trust I had in quality appliances. According to your advertisements, Matags need very little if not no repairs. My washer and dryer have both been REPAIRED TWICE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS. I am very disappointed in the quality of these products. The washer and dryer we purchased in 1982 lasted us 20 years and were still working when I wanted updated models. I WISH I COULD HAVE MY OLD ONES BACK!

A-1 Roofing / Robert Furey
August 1, 2007
Paid for new rubber roof with warranty. Roof was leaking after 6 weeks. To make a long story short he would not stand by his warranty and told me to take him to court. I DID, he never showed and I was awarded$2200. After three years I am still waiting for my money. The shotty roof job caused damage to the drywall and ruined my carpets, not to mention the plywood on the roof that had to be completely removed. What a nightmare especially for a single parent of three working hard just to make the mortgage payments. BEWARE! read full review »

I have been waiting for my livingroom furniture for 8 months. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. First they deliver the wrong furniture and try to blame me for the mistake.

Stormy Weather Water Truck Rental

This woman does not do her own work like she advertises. she cons her bosses and laborers to do the work for her and yet acts like she does it all. They do all the lifting for her and even make sure that she gets jobs she would otherwise not get. She 'does it on her back' to get the referrals and then expects others to cover for her and to actually run her trucks. She uses gossip and innuendo to blackmail others that work with her. I cannot complain to union as others cover for her. Her work is shoddy and not up to current standards. read full review »
