J & R Appliances

These guys are great! I went to buy a new unit, but instead they recommended they come look at my old one and see if they can fix it for cheaper. They did fix it and they were honest and perfectly priced.

I went in today looking for a used refrigerator as I did not want to buy one new for my apartment. Joel was very helpful and arranged for a next day early delivery. He helped me find exactly what I needed and his prices were great and I couldn’t have gotten a better deal. Also includes a 90 day warranty!

I went in with my list of requirements for appliances for a small apartment I’m putting together. I found what I wanted immediately… they converted the stove to propane for me for an extremely reasonable rate… they gave me a discount on the marked prices because I bought more than one appliance… they delivered it to my home in twisty turny Topanga Canyon with no fuss… they hooked up the stove… gave me some design advice… and that was that! Super efficient and friendly, beginning to end!

My review is based on the employee Joel. The owner Joel was nice, (there are two Joel’s) the employee Joel was nice in the store but when he came to my home to check my refrigerator he wasn’t. I told him that the fridge was noisy and I wanted him to listen to it. He had the nerve to say, he cant wait all day. And I gave him sarcasm back. We went back and forth exchanging words until I called my dad. Then his demeanor changed. Now he was nice after he heard my dad on the phone. Anyway, he fixed the problem, it was a loose Coil vibrating and causing a loud sound. It’s sad that women can’t be taken seriously today. I will not be returning.

I have bought multiple items from J & R, and I have never been let down. I have a washer, a dryer, and a refrigerator that have all been purchased at J & R, and they all work great! I’m actually moving, and didn’t need to take our extra fridge with us. Instead of selling it on craigslist so that a complete stranger can come to my place to get the fridge, I called up Joel and asked if he would buy It back. He was just as helpful and friendly as always, and made it very easy for me. If you want to buy great used appliances from a trustworthy and reliable place, J & R is the place to go!

Horrible my machine broke after 60 days then they said it’s my fault for not checking washer..

I wrote a glowing review of J & R in December. and just have to add another 5 stars! My dryer had no heat yesterday at 4:00 PM, called J & R, they sent out Joe, the most awesome repair person… ever…and it was fixed by 11:00AM this morning. And, Joe fixed my wonky venting (that I tried to do myself…). This is a family owned business, I can’t say enough good things about them. If you want used appliances or repairs, they are the best.

Our dryer broke within 2 months and they were incredibly difficult with scheduling repairs. They did fix it, but selling items that will brake that easily is incredibly sketchy and shows they don’t really test their products much before sale. I wouldn’t go back for anything there.

Unbelievable. Purchased a used washer and dryer set from J&r and the dryer breaks down within 5 months (my fault for trusting pre-​owned). Called J&r to service the dryer and they came out within the same day. That was great, but before repair guy even arrives he calls saying there is no street parking. My husband stands in an open street space with repair guy on phone and says here I’ve saved one for you. Repair guy replies «Oh, I am not there yet.» Errr. Repair guy walks in pushes button on dryer and without even OPENING the appliance up says «yep bad motor, that will be $ 45 for service call.» A new motor costs more than the unit did in the first place. Knew I should have went to Best Buy.

We bought our stove here over a year ago, and a dryer a few months ago, both work great, were clean, and if anything went wrong I wouldn’t hesitate to call them to fix it. We skipped it but they offer a warranty (90 day I think?) if that makes you feel better about buying something used. I would definitely go back if I needed any other appliance, and it feels good to support a small mom n pop business to boot.

Courteous, knowledgeable, honest. Got a great used washer and dryer at a reasonable price. Next day delivery and installation. Ninety days warrantee. I’m so pleased! I would recommend them to my mother!

What a discovery. We found J&R online and were welcomed by Joel and his wife. We commiserated about how horribly those new spaceship looking washers and dryers actually functioned, and he ended up selling me a boxy, faded yellow, old washer dryer set for $ 400 including delivery and installation. These machines ROCK (but not literally). They are work horses that do more laundry faster than a two thousand dollar euro style machine (that is likely made in China). Joel guaranteed the unit would work like a champ (he overhauls them himself). It’s been 4 months now, and we just moved to a new house that came with a shiny new Samsung set that looks like a teleportation machine. We tried a few loads in them and off to Craig’s List they go. We are putting in our yellow beasts from J&R. 5 STARS.

Our fridge broke down over a week ago. We were in need of a rental. Called these guys and their first question was «when can we get it to you?» How reassuring is that?
They promised delivery on a CLEAN fridge — and that is what we got — and they arrived early!
Nice job, guys!

Very rude and unprofessional. I bought a washer dryer unit from him in November of last year and it broke. They fixed it. Then there was an issue with my apartment building and they were very patient and heloed. But this last time I called because the dryer is no longer working. Joel calls to tell me the different scenarios. To fix a unit I paid $ 525 for it could be either $ 320 to fix or maybe $ 180 then he hangs up with out finishing. Very rude don’t buy from this guy. Clearly burnt out and needs to hang up the business customer service is horrible. I should have bought a brand new one and I recommend that is what you do instead of doing any business with this hole in the wall. Cheap valley service. Oh well lesson learned. BUYER BE WARE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

These guys rock. Very inexpensive, clean, working refridgerators. Bought a $ 900 fridge for $ 250 and it works great. The guy was nice and gave me free delivery.

AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH! We are really impressed! We started this morning looking for a used washing machine. We are only planning on having it temporarily so we didn’t want anything too expensive. Found J & R Appliances on Unilocal & liked the reviews so we called them. Based on the call we decided to go in & see what they had.
I believe the mans name was Rich who my husband had spoken with on the phone. When we walked in he immediately remembered what they had discussed & our budget and he started showing us the machines he felt were a good match. He never tried to up-​sell! We narrowed down to 2 choices. Rich was so helpful in pointing out the differences between the 2 that made our final choice so easy. We were even more impressed when we found out delivery could be the same day (on a Saturday)! We paid & went home waiting for delivery…
Within 2 hours of leaving the store our washing machine was delivered & working!!! The owner (sorry I didn’t get his name) was the gentleman who delivered the machine. He was very friendly & professional and even helped us move our old machine out of the house!
We would DEFINITELY recommenced J & R Appliances if your looking for something used. I did take a look at a few refrigerators in the shop while my husband was paying for our washer. Every one was immaculate and priced very reasonable! Almost made me want to buy one just for the deal but… I already have 2. If you’re on a budget or just don’t want the heavy sales pitch they are the place to start!

Our Maytag washer-​dryer stackable broke and was not fixable. We shopped for new ones but they would not fit into the small closet which housed the unit. My Husband went on line and located J & R Appliances which sells used washer/​dryers and other appliances and they had the exact model of our old one in stock and were able to do the install the very next day. The owner and his colleague came out and removed our old washer/​dryer. Since the Maytag fit into the closet with little room to spare, it was a very tight fit. But J & R were up to the task. After a reasonably short amount of time, they mastered it and it was a perfect installation. We now we have a perfect washer/​dryer. Not only were they experts in their trade but their demeanor and can do/​will do attitude was exceptional. We thank them for their first class service and would recommend them highly.

GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT PRICES. My 20 year old dryer finally died. I found a used dryer from J&R on Cragslist to I went in to check it out. Joel treated me right and I got a used commercial dryer in perfect shape for less than $ 200! I could not have even repaired the old dryer for less.
They just don’t make appliances the way they used to. If you are more concerned with reliability and functionality than with appearance, don’t waste money on a shiny new appliance. Call J&R and you will be glad you did.
Please support local businesses, they create jobs and benefit our local community.

I have been using them for many years! Great guy, Joel, owns and runs this place. Back in 1994 he delivered three appliances to me in west end Malibu, hauled away the used stuff and only charged me $ 50. Two years ago we bought a great used washer. He delivered it & hooked it up. They also have a great repair service. I would never use another company for appliance repair. Other appliance repair companies just want to sell you a new appliance. J & R does not have that mentality, they are into fixing it and making it work again. Joel has a great attitude most importantly I have found him to be very honest.
