Knowledgeable and Trustworthy!…read more I have a 15+ year old refrigerator that neither the refrigerator or freezer were working. Akai inspected the entire unit and indicated the issue was the defroster in the freezer wasn't working and needed to be replaced. He quoted me what I thought was a very fair price but before I could say "Shut up and take my money!" he added that when he had unplugged the unit & plugged it back in, when starting up again the compressor sounded a bit suspicious. Thus he indicated I could go ahead and pay him to install a new defroster in the freezer, but it is only a matter of time before the compressor craps out and then replacing it would be over $1,000 and not worth it. So get this....he proposes that I defrost it the old school way by unplugging it, opening both the freezer & fridge doors, placing towels in front of the unit, and allowing all of the ice to melt and then just mop up all the water with towels and my wet vac and that would solve the problem for now. And in a few months when the issue occurs again I can just repeat the old school defrosting method until the compressor finally goes kaput, and then get a brand new refrigerator. Sure enough, I proceeded to do exactly what he recommended and lo and behold the fridge & freezer started working properly again. And I am all too happy to repeat every few months to squeeze every last bit of life from this old fridge until I have to get a new one. Akai could have very easily kept quiet about the compressor sounding sketchy and that it could fail in 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years and gotten a nice service order for replacing the defroster since he had already devoted the valuable time & effort to come to my house. However, he instead chose to be completely honest and forthcoming which is not as common as it should be and is very appreciated. I have saved his contact info and the next time I have any issues with any appliances he will be the technician I call. Knowledge and experience is great and there are a lot of qualified & knowledgeable appliance repair companies out there. However, also possessing honesty and integrity is why I strongly recommend Akai for any appliance repair issues.

He is very knowledgeable about different appliances and he knew mine right away and he had an idea what it could be and sure enough it was the soap & softener dispenser. He showed me how to remove & clean it. It had held water wasn't draining back into the machine like it was supposed to just a minor little thing but now I know how to clean it periodically. Worth it for my peace of mind & also made sure I knew where my water shut off was just in case. These are good things to know , most people might not & that I'm a woman & older, it's good to know. Plus it doesn't hurt to have my machine looked at after 16 years. I've been here so I won't be afraid to use my washing machine so thank you AKIA.

Sales person did not have any personality at all. We decided to wait two weeks for a Memorial day sale. We still needed a range hood though (had a microwave hood). My wife and I decided to take the drive out to Nor-West and we are so happy that we did. We had looked at a range hood, decided that we would get that. My wife suggested that while we were there to ask about the GE range we wanted. All of our questions were answered, they gave us a price that actually was better than what the Sears Memorial day sale would have been. We decided to by the range and the hood from Nor-West. Getting the range installed was another fantastic experience. With Sears I always had the crew of 2 - 4 people who did not usually speak English well and would just do an ok job. The people that installed the range hood and range were fantastic!. They knew what they were doing, showed us any special features and took their time to make sure it was done correctly. Simply put everyone that I dealt with was a knowledgeable person who cared about the customer experience. Ever wonder why the big box stores install everything so quickly? They have a 12 minute window (if I remember correctly from the washer being installed). Nor-West has a customer for life jts_houston

They come out and check that everything is perfect a week before installation so there's no surprises. And thank goodness they did, they found multiple things that the builder didn't do and we found out we were not ready for the appliance installation. Then after things were corrected by the builder, they sent a tech out again just to be sure the appliances would all go in smoothly, before delivery. I really like this proactive approach. As a designer for many years, I appreciate this extra attention. K&N Sales has this perfected and they make sure it will be done right. They were also VERY quick to replace a dishwasher that was not working correctly from the factory. The kitchen looks and performs great, and Justin put together a great price package, (better than 3 others). Very personable all around. Highly recommend.

Equipment install was absolutely terrible, installers were not prepared nor did they even consult the instructions, didn't clean up their mess (wood and metal shavings specifically).
