Dick’s Appliance Center

when searching for a used fridge last week… thought of Dicks! had been here before, so had high hopes. but alas, like 8 used fridges all from $ 350 to $ 500. yeah, that’s right. have they ever heard of Craigslist? i ended up getting a new fridge for a lot cheaper at Home Depot. so yeah, not worth it.

I had a leaky pump on my still-​in-​great-​shape-​7-​year-​old washing machine and called Dick’s Appliance to get it fixed. My dad had recommended them for appliance repair – he’s had great experiences there as well. I got my price quote and found out it would only cost me $ 10 more (per 30 min) to have them come to my home rather than me haul it over to their shop. No brainer!
They said they would come out at 9:30am. I pictured the plumber’s typical «between 8am and 1pm» and then they show up at 3:45pm. Not so! He was (wait for it) – EARLY! That’s right folks, he arrived at 9:15am. He promptly confirmed my suspicions of a leaky pump, gave me an on-​the-​dot repair estimate ($ 119 – totally reasonable for the part and labor), replaced the part, ran the machine to test it out, and was back in his truck pulling away by 9:45am!
I would absolutely recommend these guys. Prompt, polite, and got the job done!

I disagree with the previous revue. I have been using Dicks for new and used appliances and parts for over ten years. Dick is a great guy and very fare with his pricing. The difference between craigslist and Dick is that they go thru and rebuild the used items. I have also found them very helpful as a do it yourself-​er with parts and advise. The problem with these revues is that a person doesn’t get exactly what they want and they use these revues to get even.

I was in the market for a washer and dryer. Being a cheapskate, I figured I could score a good deal at this hole-​on-​state-​street business and come in under $ 200 for a decent but older set. I was completely wrong.
Walking up to the building, I was greeted by a washer/​dryer graveyard. 70’s orange and brown appliances aplenty, I thought – this isn’t so bad. If this is how they treat the things they must be cheap! Wrong again, Erin. Try about $ 200 EACH for a crappy orange dented dirty machine.
So I tried the machines that were being loving tended to inside. Oh, okay – they jumped to $ 300-​$ 400 each. Oh, but they have a 90 day warranty? Bah! Rip off! You can get a machine at Lowes for near that, brand new!
What’s a girl to do? Why, head to Craigslist and find a less than 4 year old set for $ 100, plus delivery, of course!
PbbbbbbbbT!
