This could be a case study in how to turn a 5-star review into a 1-star. I needed to replace a dishwasher. They knew their product well, and were very responsive to my questions and it was an easy transaction. They arranged for their installer to come, and he did, great job. Two days later, I discovered that the installer had attached the water supply line incorrectly, and it had buckled my hardwood floors and done thousands of dollars in damage to my home. When I called them, they had the installer here within an hour; he accepted responsibility and replaced the line immediately, filed a claim with his insurance and called me back with the claim number. Even then, I was OK, and appreciated that he didn't try to dodge responsibility. Look, if you do this every day, then sooner or later it's going to happen.
But when I called the salesman, that call went south pretty quickly. Because the installer was an independent contractor, I was having to deal with his insurance company, and his insurance was telling me some things that concerned me. I wanted Kitchen And Bath Galleries to help me work with the insurance, or maybe help me with the out of pocket expenses. They absolutely refused to do anything for me.
Now I'm having to pay for the water damage myself, out of pocket, and then filing a claim, hoping the installer's insurance will reimburse me for it. My family will have to deal with all the blowers and fans, and no kitchen for three days. And when we repair the floors we will have to be out of the house for another three days. Their insurance will not pay for the hotel those three days and they emphatically refuse to pay for mold damage. And Kitchen and Bath Galleries doesn't even want to know about it!
So if you want to buy an appliance from people who know their stuff and make the sale easy, this is the place. Just know that if anything goes bad, you will be completely on your own.
