Rosa's Home Store - Buffalo, NY
September 17, 2007
On Friday August 24 at approximately 3:30 pm, I stopped into the store located in the McKinley Mall area. I was looking for living room furniture for a house I just purchased. During the first 15 minutes I was in the store, more than 3 associates passed me without greeting me or offering to help me - the only way I was able to get any help was by walking through the entire store to the area near the service desk where most of the associates had congregated. When I was finally approached by an associate, the experience was very negative. He... read full review »

BarStoolHouse.com / Gatelys Bar Stool
September 17, 2007
I shopped at http://www.barstoolhouse.com which belongs to Gatelys group in June. Just after I paid for the bar stools, I talked to one of the customer service associates and I discovered that the company doesn't post the right schedule for delivery on the internet site. They canceled the order and they said that they will refund the amount in 2 week. 3 months passed, they still didn't refund my money, plus when I reach the customer service after waiting 1 hour(I am not exaggerating), as soon as they understand my problem, they... read full review »

Olympic Pools - Whitehall, PA / Pool Filter
September 17, 2007
Olympic Pools - Whitehall, PA / Pool Filter I went to Olympic pools in Macungie, PA to find out about a filter for my seasonal above ground pool. The person who was "assisting" us was rude and nasty. He sold us a filter for the pool, but he later told us that it would not work for this pool. When we got home with the filter, it was not assembled, it was missing hardware to assemble it and there were no directions or warranty information. I decided to return the pool filter to this store. When I got there, the man behind the... read full review »

Westinghouse Ceiling Fans

Westinghouse Ceiling Fans www.westinghouseceilingfans.com I've recently spent a fair amount of money on a Westinghouse ceiling fan and it's installation. What a mistake. The fan works and so does the light... what there is of it. In a room 12x15, the light illuminates no more than a night light... it is worthless to me, but when calling the companies customer service, I got the too bad, so sad treatment. The profound advise I was given from them was that I could take it back to the store. So I get the expense to have it taken out and make the 80 mile trip back to the store? The model is Park Place read full review »

GE Spacemaker Microwave XL1800
September 14, 2007
Looks like we have to buy a new microwave. I guess Lennar Homes motto "Everything's Included" includes fires. I would just like to warn the owners if you have an over-the-stove GE Spacemaker XL1800 Microwave not to leave the kitchen while you are using it. Ours was only 3 and one-half years old. We baked a potato using the Potato Sensor Button and while my husband went out to grill a steak, I smelled something burning. When I looked in the kitchen the microwave was in flames.

Maytag / Neptune Washer
September 13, 2007
I have written letters as well as emails and have not gotten a response from anyone. I decided to call but after being given about 8 different phone #s, no one was able to help. I am certain that I am disconnected by design. In utter frustration now, should I contact my lawyer?? The problem is that my clothes smell moldy after ashing. I also complained about the rubber lining being mildewed and has worn thin ans so it can burst at any time. I suffer with asthma triggered by allergies, so this has become a major health issue for me. I have been told that I should use bleach, but we are on a septic system and do not use bleach. Thanks. read full review »

We have a built-in Thermador Model SC302TW convection/conventional double oven, purchased it in May 2000. It failed almost immediately and was fixed at the end of June. It worked for a while, then failed again and was fixed in July, 2003, toward the end of the warrantee- only parts were covered. Soon after the panel grew too dim to read. They said they'd replace the panel again, but at our expense. So we use it without being able to read the panel. Don't buy Thermador products. read full review »

This is a huge inconvenience for anyone who likes to keep a balanced checkbook.
