I was disappointed with my experience at Arnold’s Appliance.
I went into the store looking for help choosing a kitchen ventilation solution and had high hopes after reading the positive reviews. We were not very familiar with what we needed, which is exactly why we came in person hoping for advice and recommendations.
I understand this may be a complicated replacement and that the model number of our current unit may be helpful or even necessary. My frustration is that instead of explaining the process or giving us helpful next steps, the interaction felt dismissive and not very consultative. Even after we shared the specs we had, the person helping us mostly kept telling us to find the model number, without offering much guidance on possible options.
At one point, he said something along the lines of, “This is very hard, otherwise everyone would replace it,” which made us feel dismissed rather than helped. The reason we came into the store was because we didn’t know exactly what to look for and wanted expert advice.
Overall, I left Arnold’s feeling frustrated and disappointed. I was hoping for a more helpful, consultative experience. Afterward, we went to another appliance store with the same information, and they were able to give us a few clear options on what to buy and explain what our next steps should be.
