Better stores to buy out there
I bought my main four kitchen appliances there. I accepted an open-box refrigerator for a fair discount after inspecting the “defect” they mentioned — a small scratch near the bottom. However, after installing the appliances, I noticed the freezer wasn’t cooling properly. I contacted them, and after a technician’s visit, they determined it needed to be replaced. But I had to pay the price difference for a new one because I refused to accept another open-box unit without seeing it first (which I later found out had actually been a display model). I had to deal with a salesman who was inflexible and arrogant — he wouldn’t even let me speak until he finished his entire speech. Eventually, after contacting customer service, I ended up paying an additional $200 for the replacement. I just wanted it resolved, so they finally replaced it — after a week without a freezer and no compensation for the food I lost. I hoped that would be the end of it, but unfortunately not. A couple of days later, the dishwasher stopped working. I chose ABT for the service because the OEM technician had a one-day longer wait, which I now regret. The first technician came on Tuesday just to check what parts were needed — he didn’t have any with him. The second technician arrived on Saturday, cranky and dismissive, blaming the electrician’s work simply because he didn’t understand newer wiring methods. He even cut the dishwasher wire after failing to disconnect a Wago 221 connector (he didn’t know you have to lift the lever). Later, he discovered the real issue was a faulty main board, which was replaced, but now I have a refurbished dishwasher for the price of a new one. He never apologized or showed any willingness to learn how the connector worked — he just looked away when I tried to show him. I wasn’t trying to argue, only to teach him something that might make him a better professional. I won’t buy from them again. For less money, I could have bought the same appliances elsewhere with far less hassle. In total, I had to deal with five service visits, each requiring me to be available starting at 7 AM just for them to call and say when they planned to come.
