Hoffman Estates, IL 60179
Dear Mr. Walden:
In March, 2004 I bought a Craftsman model 917.273641 riding lawn mower for $1,637.08. It was my first riding lawn mower as well as my first major purchase from Sears Roebuck and Co. Over three years later now I can safely state that it has been one of the biggest mistakes and worst purchases that I have ever... read full review »
Troy Bilt Bronco Lawn Tractor
I purchased a Bronco lawn tractor, joke, at Lowe's two years ago. I was wise enough to purchase the extended protection plan from Lowes. I have had the tractor,joke, replaced completely, in the shop (4) times for the drive train falling apart and the mower deck has continued to work but the tractor will not move. This lawn mower,joke, is the worst product that I have seen for years. Everytime I go to Lowes and I see someone around the Troy (not) Built products I tell them not to waste their money on that product. read full review »
Furniture & Etc - Tarzana, CA
Ordered a couch from Furniture & Etc, upgraded the fabric. Within weeks of couch delivery, found fabric flaws all over couch. Complained to company, no response. Ultimately, brought all cushions in to point out problem. Obviously, couldn't bring in entire couch to show the unusual wear on all parts of couch.
Owner sent cushions to couch maker, who showed to fabric maker. Despite, evidence to the contrary, they blamed my 8 lb dog. Owner re-covered cushions without my permission and charged me $50. I paid the money just so I... read full review »
A&E Appliance Repair / Maytag Dependability Plus
I have a Maytag washer and the warranty service sent out A&E. He was not qualified and couldn't even see which fuse in the box needed flipping -- I also had to come to the basement 2 times to reset the red/black button on the outlet as he couldn't figure it out. When I called Maytag Dependability Plus they had no record of sending out A&E. Needless to say I still need my washer fixed. read full review »
GE Ceramic Top Electric Stove
GE ceramic top electric stove/oven Product Number AB968S0H2SS - about 3 years old.
Beware: oven front is applied with double stick tape - mine fell off on my 77 year old mother's foot and smashed into 1000 pieces of class, along with the stainless body. She was cut but no lasting damage. Then I noticed the double stick tape. Give me a break... a $1000+ stove.
I contacted GE customer service and repair service. Repair service got back with me first and said that GE has since redesigned the door. He could get them to pay for door... read full review »
Hunter Douglas Vertiglide
My complaint is against Hunter Douglas and the product, before it was improved, called Vertiglide. I was building a home in 2002 - 2003 and needed to get window treatments for the 18 windows to discourage vandalism while the interior finish was being completed. The 13 duettes have been fine, and in my previous home the $12000. worth of Hunter Douglas product worked well.
These Vertiglides have been a nightmare. I have paid to have them repaired repeatedly. They are not designed to withstand any opening or closing of the shade except at a... read full review »
Thompson Landscape - Plano, TX
We have hired Thompson Landscape, P.O Box 941625, Plano, TX 75094 (972-424-5726) to perform lawn mowing service. They have mowed 7 weeks and so far, they have managed to run over a 15" oak tree and damage a new gutter by denting it with the lawn mower handle. We also requested they mow the grass at a lower level due to the type grass we have.
These topics were reported and we had to continue to call them to get a response. Final response regarding the gutter was that there was a slight dent, hard to notice. I informed them that the... read full review »

Franklin, TN 37064
I bought a Viking range 6 years ago for approximately $9,000.00. I have cleaned this range for several years and have used various cleaning products on it.
Today I was using a bottle of WINDEX and was cleaning the front of the range. This is made of stainless steel and glass - like any other range.
After spraying windex on the front I proceeded to wipe it off. All the lettering at the control knobs started rubbing off of the steel panel. Lettering that read, right frt... read full review »

I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and my husband and I have also written a letter of complaint to the company directly. We have had no response as of yet.

I informed the guy of our contract which involved the removal of the old steps and the installation of new steps. He then proceeded to follow the contract... read full review »
Lowes Home Improvement Store
My husband and I purchased our new home 3yrs ago and I was happy to see a Lowes Home Improvement store being built within a few miles from our home. I shortly became a frequent shopper of the store and felt they had a good reputation as well as knowledgeable staff. We began the process of shopping for a new entry door. Early April 07, my feelings change and now have become a complete debacle of utter frustration.
After many days of trying to select a door, calls I made to the mill work department were not followed up or returned in a... read full review »

J T Penyak Roofing Co - South Plainfield, NJ
Hello,
For the protection of other consumers I would like to comment about PENYAK ROOFING in SOUTH PLAINFIELD NEW JERSEY. This contractor did our roof and it was a nightmare. At first I was very pleased at the very low price I was quoted... almost half the price of other contractors. but I learned there was a reason for this.
After the job was completed the roof leaked very badly and we had very bad damage done to the house interior. I called them and they did NOT come back. The cheap price meant nothing because I had to pay another... read full review »

Sears / Whirlpool Calypso Washer and Dryer
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. (Note each time I called I had to wait 1-2 weeks to receive service and had to use a laundrymat to clean my clothes). Since Sear... read full review »
Champion Windows - Albany, NY
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 »
Spa de Soleil
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 »

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 »

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.

A-1 Roofing / Robert Furey
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 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.

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!
