Another 5 star review! We needed a "new" gas stove and a "new" washer. We have used Allstar before, so we called Dale. We just got a KitchenAid gas stove and a Kenmore washer that look and operate like they are brand new. And the price was outstanding. Dale, the owner, and Nick installed both appliances and made sure they worked correctly. Plus, they cleaned up. We try to do business locally and Allstar is one wonderful way to do that. Dealing with Allstar is like dealing with family. read more

I don't think I've ever experienced such terrible customer service from a company before. Absolutely awful experience working with the company since it was taken over by the new owners. Just a reminder that many of the 5-star reviews are from when the previous owner, Dale, was running Allstar up until late 2025, and he was AWESOME. I'm writing this review because I was told I would be receiving a refund for a botched installation, but now they are ghosting me and will not return any of my phone calls or text messages. I ended up installing the appliance myself so that they didn't have to come back a third time because they didn't know how to hook up my machine. How can you own and operate an appliance company and not know how to connect appliances? They placed the unit where it needed to go and were going to leave when I asked the owner, Brandon, if they had finished with the install already, and I was told it was a "move only" request and they didn't charge me for an install. I had to show him the multiple places on the invoice where they had written "Install" and underlined it. He asked me to Zelle him for the installation and that he would be back the next day to complete it, so I paid for an install that wasn't completed. No word all day about when they were coming over, so I had to reach out again at 4pm to ask if they were still coming by. I was told they would come over after they were done painting their shop. No one showed up, even though I cleared my schedule to be home and sat around for 3 hours before accepting that no one was coming. No communication, just a no-show. The owner came back the following day and could not figure out how to hook up my machine and told me that I was on my own because, straight from his mouth, "It's just not worth my time." I asked him how he could make it right because I paid for an installation, and the unit was not installed. He asked, "So do you want like a refund or something?" and I told him I wanted the unit installed and asked if they could schedule an actual technician (instead of the owner, who clearly doesn't know appliances - he literally didn't even show up with tools) to complete the job. He said that they should probably be able to do that. With how flakey the company has been and how awful they've been at communicating, I didn't trust them to even show up the next day, so I decided to install the unit myself. It took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to complete the job. I reached out first thing the next morning to let them know not to send anyone out since I did it myself. I asked them to refund me the difference between the price of a move request vs install request, and they texted me "Of course so srry about the inconvenience, we will get this sent over to you shortly :)". That was 9 days ago, and I've called, texted, and left voicemails with absolutely no replies. Still waiting for them to send it over...shortly. I went to Allstar because I've worked with them before when Dale ran things. They had a repeat customer who sought them out for another job. At this point, I will happily steer as many people away from Allstar as I can and point them to literally anyone else. read more

Friendly service and some excellent deals are available here for some scratch and dent merchandise

Five Stars only scratches the surface of what this business deserves. Refurbishing appliances and getting them into our homes instead of adding them to the Landfill is a very environmentally good practice. I was reluctantly ready to buy a NEW Washer (big $$ expense) and thought I would add a used Dryer from Dale. He saw a much better solution so that I ended up with better products more efficient than what is available today. And spent a lot less money. You can't go wrong with buying from Dale and you will enjoy the experience of working with a VERY HONEST business man. I am glad to report me and my friends have bought from him for years.

Allstar Appliance is an incredible value. We recently moved in our college-bound son into a local apartment. We didn't want to buy a new washer and dryer just for a couple of years. So we looked for good used options. Choosing, moving, and installing used washers and dryers are a challenge especially when you don't have a large van or the expertise to properly hook up the equipment. We are so lucky to find Suzanne and Dale. They took care of everything and saved us a tremendous amount of time and money. The whole process went very smoothly. Suzanne is friendly, responsive, and honest. They are true professionals. Thank you Suzanne and Dale. You guys are awesome! read more

Great honest and reputable local small business. I have purchased several refurbished appliances from them, which has worked out extremely well. The owner is a nice guy and has great integrity as well, and makes certain that customers are happy. Highly recommend! read more

I think this may be the second or third review I've written for AllStar Appliances because they are that great. I bought a used Kenmore washer and dryer set in 1999. It's now 2024 and that dryer is still going strong today. Last month, for the first time, it needed a replacement part that cost $35. A moving company broke something in the Kenmore washer and I replaced it with another used washer from AllStar. This was 13 years ago, and today I had to replace that washer with another used Kenmore from AllStar. My new used washer is a beauty! Very clean, no rust or scratches, versatile and powerful but conservative with water and energy. Dale Craig, the owner of AllStar Appliances, was excited for me that he had that great washer available right when I needed it. The cost of the washer plus labor was very decent. The last thing I needed right now is a big expense, but the cost was doable and an actually pleasant surprise. Labor included delivery, installation, and testing the new washer, then hauling away the old washer. Not only that, but Dale replaced the hoses! When Dale told me he was also giving me a year's warranty on my new used washer, I was impressed but thought, 'I won't need that!' This company is absolutely the BEST. Dale is friendly and generous, a guy who combines his mechanical knowledge- how with an artist's eye. I love the guy, and his adorable dog, whose scent Dale shared with my dogs and vice versa. Suze works in the office and she is just as friendly and efficient at Dale. They are really great hometown people who provide a wonderful service that keeps all kinds of giant appliances out of the landfill as long as possible. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! read more

Great used appliances. I had two purchases and both have been good buys. Good service as well.

Dale did an amazing job fixing our dryer! He was also extremely friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend this company!!

Thank you so much for the delivery of my gently used preowned-dryer! Me not having to be at home was a big plus and you hauling away the old broken one was pretty dreamy too! I highly recommend your business to all! Sincerely, Sheryl Caballero read more

Washer gave out today and Allstar Appliance came through for me! Not only did I get a great deal on another washer, Dale and his team delivered it same day. You won't go wrong buying an appliance from these guys. read more

We contacted Allstar Appliance when needing to purchase a washer and dryer for our son's college rental house. The customer service was phenomenal. Suzanne responded right away and was extremely helpful!!! Excellent customer service! Would definitely recommend if you are looking to purchase a used appliance! read more

A+, 100%, 5-Stars, call it whatever you want, Dale is a go-to. We bought a Whirlpool Washer and Dryer set almost a year ago. We had trouble with our washer and Dale came by and fixed it. There is a reason why Dale is busy all the time. Amazing customer service, great products, professional and kind. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped by All Star Appliance when our refrigerator went out and Dale had us set up with a new one in less than hour. He delivered it right to our door, hooked everything up for us, and even hauled the old one away. Just a super experience. read more

Ridiculously good customer service in an era when that has gone by the wayside. I have used AA since 1998 for multiple appliance repairs (and used purchases). This is not my first review for them likely, but warrants repeating. Call them first. They no longer do repair/service calls, but have very reliable used appliances at reasonable costs (refurbished). Trustworthy. Once came out (all the way to Paso from SLO!) with a used appliance for me but was able to fix the faulty one, and tried not to charge me. This is good old fashioned customer care. I recommend them always and will continue to call them first. Their team is outstanding, Suzanne today referred me to two trustworthy companies who might be able to service/replace my ignitor on my 1998 dryer, she said she'd recommend that versus purchasing used app from them. Who does that? Recommend, recommend, recommend. read more

Allstar Appliance makes it easy. I recently moved here to SLO and needed a washer and a gas dryer. I met with Suzanne at the site, gave her the measurements after it turned out that they did not have the dryer I needed in stock. About a week later, Dale Craig, the owner, is at my house with a refurbished washer/dryer combo that he set up in like 15 minutes. The machines run like new but I saved easily $500 or more by using Allstar Appliance. They earned all 5 stars. read more

Good place for finding budget friendly appliances. I would recommend this place. We recently purchased a refrigerator and had it installed in our Paso house. Unfortunately, within a day the refrigerator stopped working. But I have to say, Dale was quick to make sure that we got it fixed. He made the trip out to Paso twice and was friendly both times, and seemed genuinely concerned about getting our fridge back in working order. He had a loaner ready for our use while he worked on our original purchase, and within a few days, he had it fixed and installed back in our house. It's been more than a week now, and everything is working fine. I can only hope it continues that way. As I said, Dale is friendly and courteous and very willing to take time out of his day to make sure you're happy with your purchase. But I dropped a star for the obvious reason that we were originally sold a refrigerator that didn't work. read more

Bought my washer and dryer from Allstar. Seriously best experience and nicest people I've dealt with when buying appliances. They even took my info for an additional freezer I was looking for and kept me on the list to call when one came in. No matter whether you need service or are looking for an appliance this is the place to go in SLO. Great service and honest people. read more

I purchased a used refrigerator from here and a part on it broke before I even had it for 3 months. Luckily they have a 3 month warranty so they picked it up and gave me a "loaner" fridge while they fixed it (free of charge). They were nice about the situation, picking it up and fixing it, great people. But when I first called to notify them of my broken fridge I hadn't found my receipt yet but figured I'd call and see if they could find my purchase on file (because food is being ruined). They couldn't find it and weren't very friendly about it. I told them the brand and they responded "we don't usually sell those here, are you sure you got it from us?" Yes! So they let me know they wouldn't be able to help me out unless I found my sales receipt. Yay for me, I found it and called them back. They were VERY apologetic about it and worked with me after that. Main take away - if you purchase an appliance from here just make sure you keep your receipt in an accessible location so you can work with the great guys they are, from start to finish. The way they handled the situation after our first phone call is why I gave them another star. read more

I have bought from Allstars over the past 25 years and under the same ownership. You will never be unhappy dealing with this business. And if you like saving money like I do, go to them when you're shopping for appliances. And of course they can repair them too. read more

Great experience buying a used stove and refrigerator from Dale! Great communication, price, and guarantee. I wish there were more businesses like this out there that take the time to rehome good working items. Also the best service and attitude I've seen in a long time. I can't recommend this biz enough! read more

Thank you for the washer and dryer at a bargain price . we will call you again for more business

I have purchased many different appliances from Dale at Allstar appliance. Dale is a stand up guy and stands behind his work and his appliances. I recommend to everyone I know to stop by and take a look, before you spend top dollar at other locations. Thank you Dale. read more

Dale is awesome! We have bought a few Appliances here and he is always fair and friendly. Highly recommend for an easy experience if you're in the market for used appliance, he's your guy. read more

Met with Walt and Dale. We needed a refrigerator, washer and dryer and microwave. They gave us a nice price on the bundle. Both Walt and Dale were kind and well informed. Dale even delivered and set up the washer and dryer the same day. We recommend them and the used appliances came with 90 days warranty. read more

These guys are rockstars. Dale and his helper are the best. In search of a used washer and dryer; someone told me about them and I'm glad they did. It's a small shop where they make used machines run like new. I bought a high efficiency washer and gas dryer. Both units had been completely gone through replacing any necessary parts and they were backed up with a 90 day warranty. I'm glad I went this route and didn't buy someone else's aging and un-maintained machine. Best part, I walked out the door spending WAY less than $500 including delivery, hoses, installation and warranty for a like new washer and dryer. I'll likely never buy new again. read more

This place is the Nordstrom of appliances. Dale was great to work with and treated me like a long time friend from the moment we met. Great prices, warranty on a used washing machine and install. Highly recommend!!! read more

Wow what great service!! Needed a dryer asap was able to purchase over the phone and get it delivered. I also asked if I needed a new washer and instead of selling me one I didn't need I was told I could replace a part for a small fee and that I should keep the one I have. He totally could have sold me one but I will be a forever customer because of that honesty and integrity!!! read more

We bought a washer from Allstar last summer and I loved it but it leaked into the washer drum. Dale came out and replaced a part but it still leaked. He came to our house, swapped out the washer we bought for another one that works like a charm. Why is the review so late? We are only in this area during the summer months and we moved back to our AZ home before Dale could swap out washers. When we came back to the area last month, I got in touch with Dale and within a week of us getting back, he brought a replacement washer to our house. Our preference is to try to shop local whenever possible and working with Dale and his team was an experience that's hard to beat. Dale is great businessman and a great human. Do yourself a favor and wherever you live in the county, go to San Luis and buy from Allstar Appliance the next time you need a major appliance. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Amazing customer service!!! Only place I will ever look for an appliance again. Bought the exact gently used washing machine and was delivered the very same day!! Do yourself a favor and go see the Pros at Allstar Appliance. read more

The most professional and customer oriented business we have dealt with in a long time. They stand behind what they sell and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. I had to post this for my wife because her Yelp account is wonky for some reason read more

I have never written a review, but Allstar Appliance did such outstanding customer service I had to let everyone know about a great place to do business. I called them for a minor problem I had with a purchase I made from them. They responded to my call and came out on that day. Fixed the issue. They were professional, delivered the greatest customer service I've had so far with any purchase. They told me to call them for any problems. Great customer service, great product. Really satisfied. Feel really good about my purchase. read more

Best customer service ever! Dale with Allstar Appliance goes way above and beyond to take care of the customer. Very fair prices and prompt response to any questions or concerns. I will definitely recommend to anyone in need of appliances. Great to do business with I will be a repeat customer. Thanks so much, Lauri read more

I tried to buy a used washing machine. He said that he wasn't finished working on it, but I could pick it up at 4 pm on the next day. I said I would. I made arrangements to borrow a van and called at 8:45 am the next day to say I would pick it up at four and left my number. No call-back; so I went to their location at 1 pm. He said that he had sold the machine to someone else, someone that would pay the installation and delivery fee, and that was the nature of his business. I knew immediately he didn't want my business. read more

Dale was so helpful and accommodating, gave me a great deal on fridge and delivery and were flexible when I had to make some changes to my order. Happy to support this small business, because they are friendly, professional and willing to help in any way possible! read more

Bought a used Washing Machine from them 6 months ago, and when it developed a problem, they were excellent about trying to repair it under warranty and even replaced the machine. Very professional, and easy going. Highly recommended. read more

Walking in one day and had a dryer delivered a very short time later. Unfortunately, when he went to turn the dryer on it didn't work (Although it worked in the store). Now comes the good part : they immediately took it back and returned with an every better dryer that worked well, hooked everything up, leveled it, even helped me figure out own to turn on the gas (it was turned off outside for some reason), ....and it was raining the whole time, so the guys were soaked, but remained happy, chipper, and helpful. And we got a better dryer than we had planned for the same price as the original. I plan on visiting them anytime I need an appliance. read more
