We checked 2 other big box stores before coming to Anvil. They were recommended by the contractors doing our kitchen remodel because they're known for being on time with delivery and knowing the products.
Chef Vaughn gave us valuable information about the appliances we were interested in and show us around for several hours. He even did some demos of them.
For example, The GE Cafe microwave with Advantium tech is amazing. He put a frozen sandwich inside and in 4 minutes it was as if it was in a panini grill. Crisp, toasted, delicious.
We like that you can see the appliances and various kitchen designs. So you could check out different cabinets, countertops, backsplash and pulls.
In the end, we picked differently than we were planning because of the education we got. Like I never wanted an electric cooktop. I wasn't even open to it. Until I saw another demo where you can literally cook on top of a kitchen towel to absorb splatters. And it's way faster and easier to clean than a gas cook top.
I went home and looked up recipes to cook in my new appliances. The air fryer/convection oven and even sous vide add-on are new to me. Everything cooks faster and is more energy efficient too, like a baked potato in 9 minutes. Wow. I can't wait!
The prices are right in line with everyone else but the service is way better! There's nothing like talking to someone who knows the products well and uses them.
My only complaint is the bathrooms. I had to take photos to prove it. They look bad. Lots of miscellaneous stuff inside like an ironing board in the women's and a saw in the men's. I hope they're remodeling because that was my first impression and even if they're clean, look dingy and very outdated. A big contrast from the rest of the store.
