Bionaire Humidifiers
January 30, 2007
I purchased 2 Bionaire humidifiers (BCM5520RC). They humidify beautifully as long as the filters work. However, the filters last 3 weeks at best using the instructions in the manual and not a moment longer. I wrote to Bionaire, to Holmes (who manufactures both the filter and the humidifier, and to Lowe's (where I purchased the product) advising them that the cost of the filter's are prohibitive to the running of the equipment. Of the three e-mails I sent, each received the automated "We will get back to you within 24 hours"... read full review »

We tried to order furniture for our retail store at this company's showroom, the Daryl Jenkins Showroom at the World Trade Center, and were told by a woman who identified herself as Felicia, the Sales Manager for Legacy Trading Company, that our store would probably not want to work with Legacy because their products weren't really appreciated by "black people"! (We are of African-American heritage.) When we demanded to speak to the company's owner, she also told us that "they don't deal directly with any black... read full review »

Ener-G Tech - Gas (Propane) Logs
January 26, 2007
I purchased a $900.00 set of gas (propane) logs from Ener-G-Tech in mid- November. I needed the logs and a propane tank installed. I asked the salesperson (you must be waited on by a salesperson, this business is not self-service)if they install. He informed me they had a list of plumbers they recommend. I purchased the logs and was given the list of plumbers. Two months and an additional $650.00 later, the plumber installed everything incorrectly. The gas company refused to hook up the tank. I then had to buy logs from the gas company... read full review »

#1 Original Firewood / Abbots Firewood
January 26, 2007
This man was to send me 3 "processed cords" of wood and the price was $465.00. When the driver arrived, he was having trouble getting it out of the dump truck, (was frozen or something), and I had to leave to drive my son to work. When I returned, I was shocked to see so little wood in my driveway. There might be 1.5 cord of wood. The man running this company will not talk to me and has blocked my calls. I managed to contact him by using another phone, and before I could state my issues, he hung up on me...a truly rude and ignorant individual. read full review »

Wendy & Mario's Furniture
January 24, 2007
I purchased furniture from Wendy on Craigslist. She claimed the dining set was *NEW* and assured me that it was in excellent condition. Upon paying her $500 cash for the set I took it home and set it up. I did a close inspection when I got home and found places where the chairs had been glued with wood glue to hold them together (very sneaky). I called and she said she would replace them (no problem, right?). She then proceeded to set up multiple meetings w/ me and then cancel at the last minute. She then started to ignore my emails and... read full review »

I paid $1000 for a Serta Perfect Sleeper Whittingham and notice the very first night, we both sank and found ourselves in a canyon in the middle. We had to grab the sides and pull ourselves out !. I called the store and they stalled us for several days with stories of how the bed just had to get used to us. The problem worsened and they refused to take the bed back and offered us a different brand or another Whittingham for a "$300 service charge".

Sleep Country

Recently, while purchasing a bed from Sleep Country, I was subjected to the worst service imaginable, completely inconsistent with their advertising. I feel that it is my obligation as a consumer to alert others of the poor service. I needed a bed and selected Sleep Country based on their ads promising good price, excellent service, express delivery, and the removal of the old mattress. As it turned out, some of these promises have no relationship to reality. On January 4, I went to the location at 799 York Mills Rd. and bought a... read full review »

Call-A-Mattress

I recently purchased a full sized box spring and mattress from this company, located in Gainesville, FL. Although their customer service skills were satisfactory, and they delivered when they promised to, the mattress itself SUCKED! After about a week of sleeping on it, I noticed that I could feel every spring coil right through the so-called "Pillow Top" mattress. And when changing the bedding, I cut myself on a sharp nail or staple that protruded from the box spring. There were also no tags on the Mattress, and when I asked them... read full review »

Eureka Forbes - Aquasure Water Filter
January 20, 2007
We have been cheated by Eureka Forbes dealer Ultra Solutions, Bangalore. We have bought a Aquasure Water Purifier couple of months back. Till date we were unable to use it as it does not filter the water as they promise. Their service personnels replaced the filters. But no use. I am getting irritated every time I see it. I have been requesting Eureka Forbes dealer many times. No response.

Sears Windows - Windows Replacement
January 19, 2007
I purchased 33 replacement windows in March 2004 for my 30 year old house. At the time my salesman Scott Doyle, assured me that 'Sears stands behind their products,' and that the reason I paid $18,808 for these windows was because they came with a 20 year 'anything' warranty. Parts, labor, installation, anything, and a lifetime parts warranty. Since the windows have been installed, I have had Sears out here 3 times to fix seemingly minor problems- each time coming through as promised. Fast forward to the K-Mart... read full review »

GE Refrigerator
January 17, 2007
I bought a high-end GE refrigerator about a year ago. Shortly after it arrived, it lost all freon. It took a week for GE to send someone to look at it and offer a diagnosis. When the part arrived a month later, it turned out not to address the problem. It turned out that the unit had been dropped on its side and had a broken part in the back. It took another two months for them to finally fix it. We were without a refrigerator for a total of three months, and they had our money already. I tried to push this process along, but GE... read full review »

Black & Decker Power Tools
January 16, 2007
Black & Decker used to mean quality in home appliances and you could feel good about purchasing their products. This Quick N Easy food processor is garbage. Cheap, poorly manufactured plastic pieces and nobody gave any thought to the "convenient" spout which spews product all over the counter when you try to use it. Maybe if you had a container the size of the kitchen sink to catch whatever you're trying to shred... The main problem, however, is the locking lid. Cheap, cheap, cheap!

On December 31, 2005, my wife and I, aged 49 and 53 respectfully, went to the Haynes Furniture Store in Newport News, VA to shop for additional furniture for our new house. The sales ad attracted us because it said "no payments, no interest for 2 years". This lured us in. Our money was real tight and we needed to set up our new house. We figured we could pay it off within the 2 year timeframe, at OUR convenience. We explained to the salesman why we were there and he was delighted.
