Has anyone had experience with KitchenAid 36' built-in fridge?
Comments (3)We have the KA 42" built-in SXS w/ice and water dispenser in the door (purchased in spring 2007). What would you like to know about it? We had a couple of the door hinges (springs?) tightened or greased shortly after it was installed (they made a pinging noise when opening or closing--don't remember which)--nothing major there. Our ice/water dispenser had a problem in the fall of '08--some parts were replaced under warranty. It seemed as though this was a defect or "recall" sort of thing if I recall. This past summer, our dispenser was dripping/leaking because the flap inside the dispenser chute wasn't closing tightly (it popped open every time we let the fridge or freezer door "slam" shut, allowing warm and humid air in). The repair person made an adjustment which allowed the flap to close nice and tight, and that seemed to solve the problem. Otherwise it works well for us....See MoreAnyone have experience with Pacific Sales for appliances? (In Bes
Comments (23)To add to your comments, sjhockeyfan325, I had never heard of Pacific Sales until I walked into Best Buy and saw their display. It is sort of odd - I don't recall seeing any advertising, however I don't watch tv much. I'm more apt to watch Netflix. The new display was truly amazing (not what I expect from Best Buy) - they had this huge wall interactive display - if I remember correctly it was for just one of the brands. I would love to see stores like that have an app, where you could scan a barcode on an appliance, and it would appear in a mock up of your kitchen. For kitchen design, you should be able to add a floor plan, input an image of doors/colors/countertop, then place virtual appliances. The Pacific Sales/Best Buy in Dedham also had some more mid-range brands, but those high end ones are so beautiful! By the way, I'm glad to see that others are choosing to mix up their appliances - I really think that is the way to go - different brands really do different types of appliances better. Oh, in case anyone is looking to call up the Pacific Sales/Best Buy (I wish they would shorten that name!) the salesman I was speaking with said to not call the main number - it can take a long time. They have a direct line - I just dug the info out of my purse; (781) 320-1894 (the 0 might be a 6 - sorry, I was in a rush). If anyone visits one of those stores, and wants to call the store later, make sure to get their direct line....See MoreAnyone have experience with Ad Mark (eBay) appliance dealer?
Comments (54)the reason why a 'clean' feedback record is achieved is because this jerk strings you out until beyond 90 days and you can no longer leave feedback. he has an endless string of his likely prostitute "girlfriends" answer his cell phone when you call to check on your order. sooooo, by the time he is done stringing you out 90+ days on ebay (can't leave feedback) and at the point of time where i lost THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS with this Harry Slime Man, paypal would not allow you to file any claims outside of 90 days. this is a con artist, the kin of an allegedly reputable LARGE appliance dealing chain in the St. Louis area. somehow Harry learned the ropes of the business and then got hooked up with damaged garbage that fell off the back of a truck and has pretty stock photos on ebay and what you get, IF you get anything is pure trash. we got TEN loads out of our dishwasher. he totally ripped us off on THREE pieces that we ordered and never received whatsoever the wonderful lengthy comments from "ashley" is the same blow up doll nobody who harry hands his cell phone to when the heat gets on and she (there's more than one of her) pretends to care, write down your information and "harry will get back to you". in this day and age of alleged consumer protection, i don't understand how this guy is still in business, if he is at all. the better business bureau was COMPLETELY WORTHLESS when i contacted them and i guess it goes to how much his rich family will bribe the BBB to keep his record clean. normally when you have numerous if not 1 out of 2 people this guy deals with complaining about being gypped for hundreds / thousands, the BBB rating would suffer. But the BBB is as bad as Harry Slime Man himself- just a bunch of slick talking bums. I have a feeling that the Slyman furniture dealerships do not want black sheep Harry in their outfit so they feed him the garbage by product from their business and then he goes off and rooks people on ebay for it. I never got any settlement on any of this. Harry pursued the sale and then dried up and blew away when our crap was never sent. what was eventually sent was different stuff and only ONE out of SIX appliances ever worked beyond a month. multiple ones were dead out of the box and more than one piece just was never sent at all. Like I said- by the time he strings you along for four months there's NO RECOURSE for you- so BE WARNED. if you don't get your items within a couple weeks time, file a chargeback and move on. I have no idea how this guy ever made it with a rotten reputation even through the year 2015 with the same MO, attentive customer service and then hookers answering his phone every once in a while and you just get shafted mercillessly after he strings you out past 90 days He may be OUT of business or processing payments OFF paypal (WARNING SIGN) now that paypal's chageback period is 180 days....See MoreAnyone have experience with the Samsung Chef Collection appliances?
Comments (12)Sue McGrath - I'm not happy with it, unfortunately. The dual oven is only usable with a 75 degree difference or less. Discovered when I was trying to low-and-slow some ribs in one cavity, and roast veggies in the other. Can't do it. Can't brown a chicken in one oven and bake casserole in the other. Dumb. Also, it takes FOREVER to preheat. Like, over 10 minutes to get to 425. I've also had issues where I'm roasting something, need to turn it/adjust it, and the oven never comes back to the proper temperature. I'll open the oven, flip veggies or whatever, close it, and it takes about 5 full minutes to get back to 400...where it stays...when it was originally roasting fine at 425. I don't know if this is a learning curve with the convection setting, as I haven't tried it on the normal setting yet. But as it stands, I'm preparing to send it back for the non-chef collection. I paid a ton more money for this one basically because of the "double oven" feature...which I can't really use. Anon Username - it doesn't pulse, it remains steady. Unless you lift the pot off the burner, it then turns off completely until you replace the pot on the burner. This is irritating when I'm stir-frying something at high heat. Doesn't work so well as when you flip the food around a bit, the pan takes a bit to heat back up once it comes back in contact with the stovetop....See Morestacey6180
