I walked in with zero intention of buying a vacuum and came running back the next day to grab a Sebo X4 at a price we couldn't beat. Junior helped us from the very beginning, starting with a phone call before I even came in which he was professional and incredibly friendly. When we arrived, he greeted us warmly and patiently walked us through every vacuum we had questions about. I was immediately drawn to the Sebo X4 for its small footprint and brand reputation. Then Junior tossed some fake fur and pellets on the floor so we could test it out ourselves and really get a feel for all the vacuums. I cannot recommend doing this enough, as the weight an maneuverability can make or break a vacuum. After purchasing the vacuum, Junior not only put it together for us (it's simple to put together, but they do it as a coutesy) he also volunteered to carry it to our vehicle! What I appreciate about the store and Junior were: 1. Top notch customer service. Everyone who works there is kind, courteous and friendly. 2. There were no high pressure sales or gimmicks. Yes, he mentioned he could get us the vacuum with a warranty that day, but he didn't push. When I said I was getting hungry and might come back later, he didn't try to close the sale. Instead, he smiled and said he totally understood, and even recommended a few nearby spots to grab food. 3. They give you their best price up front. Other places quoted me as high as $250 more for the same model, then tried to offer a $50 discount. Junior gave us a great price right away. (TIP: They have Black Friday specials coming up, so take advantage!) 4. They're an authorized dealer. Not just for Sebo, but also Miele, Riccar, and presumably others, which us important because your warranty is VOID if you buy anywhere that is not an authorized retailer. 5. They've been family owned and operated since 1971. I want to buy from a place that has longevity and that I can trust. Supporting a small business is an added bonus! I can't recommend this place enough! Lastly, I truly recommend you do yourself a favor and get a bagged vacuum. They're just better all around. They are cleaner, more reliable, better for those with allergies and pets, fewer parts to break, and if you go with a reputable brand you won't be replacing it every few years. read more

My son recommended Coast Sewing and Vacuum Center....I highly recommend this place...thanks to Doug and Armando......they checked my vacuum to see if it could be fixed...and it could!! Cost was fair...and I would go back here again and recommend to others!!! read more

I had them replace the power cord on my Shark Rotator Lift Away vacuum last week. There are lots of hidden screws that makes it impossible to do it yourself. Couldn't find YouTube videos to guide me so I took it to this business and they knocked it out of the park in a half of a day. Great work. Great service and helpful attitude. read more

I received excellent customer service and am super satisfied with my purchase of a new stick vacuum. Armando was very knowledgeable, super friendly and all around fantastic. The store is packed full of options for vacuum cleaners, but is a little more limited with the stick type, but Armando guided us to the perfect option for us. I have previously had vacuum cleaners serviced here and I've always had a positive experience. I would highly recommend them for all your vacuum needs. read more

Coast Sewing & Vacuum sold me a wonderful vacuum cleaner three years ago. One problem since then & they fixed it right away & explained what I had done to cause the freezing. All better & I won't do that again. They clean the cleaner once a year for free (I believe for 5 years). Everyone in the shop is friendly & happy to help. read more

Coast Sewing & Vacuum Center - Even my dog, Woof, wants to buy a vacuum cleaner at Coast Sewing & Vacuum! - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

It's like stepping back in time. If you still have your vacuum from the 70's they can repair it and sell you new filters for it.

The owner is one of the kindest people doing business in Escondido. Always helpful, always informative, always accommodating. Great guy, great business! read more

My 10 year dyson vacumm stopped working due to a bad electrical cord. I took it to Coast Sewing and Vacumm Center and I am very please with the results. We were greeted with a friendly welcome. They installed a new cord, replaced a broken handle on the vacumm canister and cleaned the entire vacumm. It looks as good as new. They completed the job in 24 hours and for a resemble price. My vacuum is good for another 10 more years. I definitely recommend this business for your vacuum repairs. They a friendly, helpful, professional and quick with amazing customer service read more

I purchased a sewing machine from Coast vacuum and sewing machines in Escondido, CA. Before I paid for it, I specifically asked if I could return it, was told yes I could. Three days later I went to return it and they would not give me my money back. They offered to fix it or give me a store credit. That being said... they have no problem taking the machine back. They do have a problem returning my money. I simply do not want this machine. And I have no use for a 430.00 store credit. I am very disappointed in this business not keeping their word or standing by their products. I have them one star only because I had to. Cindy read more

This place is unbelievable...the level of customer service goes above and beyond what you get anywhere. In fact that's the main reason I felt compelled to review. Bought a simplicity vacuum ~ 6 months ago..worked fantastic until small hiccup w gasket outside of the 6 month warranty. They took care of it and made sure I had everything I needed to get back to optimal condition. I would have gladly paid...but they took care of it and with a genuine smile thanked me for coming in. Prices are unbeatable, but the kindness and service is rarely seen. I go way out of way to come here and I wouldn't by a vacuum anywhere else...you'd be a fool if you did ;) read more

Doug at Coast sewing machine repair serviced my 20 year old Viking in to almost new condition. This is my first service on this machine and I've had other estimates that were much higher. I appreciated his 1 day service and the repair cost was very reasonable. He was recommended by a friend and I will definitely recommend him to all my sewing friends. read more

Went in to buy my first sewing machine today, and the guys at Coast couldn't have been more helpful! One of them demonstrated a couple of machines and answered all of my questions honestly. When I told him the machine he first recommended was more than I was planning to spend, he gave me a few other options that would also work that were more within my range, and laid out the pros and cons. When I chose a machine, he went over in detail how it works and let me know that I was welcome to come back anytime if I needed another tutorial. I love this shop and will come back again for repairs and other purchases! read more

This was such a wonderful place to shop! I bought an incredible vacuum called the Simplicity Symmetry and it has revitalized my carpet! The workers were so kind and helpful and made the experience a great one. I was nervous to go at first because I have little to no knowledge of vacuum cleaners, but the guys were so helpful and knowledgeable. A great, and well ran business!!! read more

I've been bringing my vacuums here for service for years now. They'll replace parts, troubleshoot problems, fix a cord that no longer works and hand you back a vacuum that looks like new and all for a fair price! read more

I have been wanting a new vacuum for a long time. I finally went into Coast and was greeted with efficient, informative and polite customer service.

My wife has an old sewing machine that she just loves. The problem was it would act like it slipped out of gear. It turned out to be a part that was no longer made or sold. That didn't stop Doug. He was able to fix it anyway. Thank you Coast vacuum! read more

I would give this place ten stars if I could. The owner is a very dapper gentleman that looks like he could own a haberdashery. He came to my car and carried in my beloved damaged Miele vacuum. That baby cost 1k 20 years ago when I was living large. I actually requested custody after the divorce. I love that vacuum. He quoted me $169 to repair it and I almost hugged him. Why so happy?? I had taken my machine to Encinitas Vacumn and they said it was hopeless and unrepairable. They would take it in trade and give me $100 credit towards a new one. I was despondent. On a whim I took her in to Coast for a second opinion. Soooo glad that I did. He made my vacumn brand new. Dropped it Wednesday and picked it up Saturday! That is a fast turn around and curb service to boot. Go there. Only there! read more

Buyer beware! We took our vacuum here for repair and was quoted over $200 for the fix. Ouch! The repair guy suggested that instead, we should just buy a new vacuum. They did a very nice demo and showed us a vacuum which we were very close to considering until we asked the price a second time and he increased it by $100-so the price went from $399 to $499! Of course there aren't any prices on the vacuums so I think they just charge what they believe you'll pay. Turns out, the exact same model can be purchased online for only $299. Imagine our surprise given that the sales person said it can't be purchased online. THEN, we called Dyson and the part to fix our vacuum is only $80 and Dyson was kind enough to tell us how to install it (it only took about 5 minutes!). I'd be ok with even $40 in labor but this store wanted to charge over $120 for less than 5 minutes of their time! The sales people are very nice and I have no doubt that they provide great customer service but at a significant price! This is why people don't buy from these types of stores anymore! read more

I brought my 6 year old Dyson in Thursday afternoon and I picked it up Saturday morning. When I brought it in, the bottom part wasn't sucking and the hose suction was weak. When I picked it up this morning, they tested it in front of me and it worked perfectly. They fixed my vacuum and installed new filters, all for $125. read more

This is a reliable and trust worthy place to shop. I recently made a purchase from out of state. The owner communicated with me right from the start over the telephone. The shipping was fast. I received my vacuum promptly, and it was a seamless transaction. I am very impressed by the service and customer care at Coast Vacuum and Sewing in Escondido. I highly recommend this business. Thank you Chris, for the great service!! read more

I've always had the best experience! They always help me with my vacuum. And very reasonable with prices, I recommend everyone to go here you will not be disappointed great customer service. They don't over charge like the other places. I Highly recommend them.. read more

I love this place. I normally order online but when it comes to Vacuum cleaners you need to try them out. The customer service here is STELLAR. After purchasing my vacuum with the help of Armando who is incredibly knowledgeable I bring it in for yearly maintenance. I wouldn't go anywhere else. There are many cleaning items for all types of floors. If I could give this place 6 stars I would! read more

My mom recommended this place, when I told her I was in search of a new quality vacuum. Shes been coming here for years and the owner, Armando is very knowledgable and helpful. He set me up with a great quality vacuum. Came with 2 year warranty, and tons of bells and whistles, such as 12 amps of cleaning power! I was happy with the service and am happy with my awesome new vacuum. read more

We were in the market for a new vacuum and stopped into Coast Sewing & Vacuum Center to see what they offered. We were surprised by how many different brands and models they carry. The employees were very friendly and took their time explaining and demonstrating the features of different models for us. The best part was that we were asked many questions about the flooring in our home, if we have pets, stairs, etc. so they could recommend the perfect vacuum for us. I really appreciate that and it is certainly something you don't get if you purchase from a department store. We bought a Miele canister vacuum, even though we went in thinking we didn't want a canister. Based on our needs, the canister was recommended, and they were correct. We love it! Prices are good. We paid the same price as it would have been on Amazon, but we received an additional wand and 3 years of cleaning and service at no extra cost. They sell the bags and other cleaning supplies at good prices as well... and it's nice to support local businesses. We definitely recommend Coast. read more

There Is good reason for the shop being open as long as it has been. You will not find customer service that matches this in most places these days. Armando and Doc are some of the friendliest guys to deal with and they will always have my business and my referrals. I have come here for years and they have only sold me the best machines and parts and done the highest quality of service. It feels so nice to support a local business, they deserve every bit of it. read more

Armando is the best! Coast Sewing & Vacuum is an Escondido institution, and has been providing quality service for decades. I have purchased my last two vacuum cleaners here, and have used them for service on the vacuums and my sewing machines. Always a fair price, good service, and quality work. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Parking can sometimes be a challenge, but there is nearby lot parking a short block away. read more

I have a specialized residential floor scrubber that I have had serviced twice by Armando. His expertise and friendly service have won my loyalty. He always carries and loads the scrubber into my car for me- always appreciated. Thank you Armando! read more

Our Dyson finally died and we went here to learn about getting a replacement. We were immediately showed the verrry pricey Simplicity upright, with him dumping some stuff on a very thin carpet and vacuuming it up--Reminded me of something you would see at a fair/carnival! Anyway, we bought it and we and our house cleaner hate it. Very heavy,tiny wheels that on any good carpet makes it feel like you're plowing the earth! It has been back for repair three times in the first year and a half as well as for the annual tuneup which you pay for the filters,etc. Also, the relatively expensive bags for the machine are proprietary. On a recent repair trip, the repair guy said "thisyears model" is a little better and costs $100 more than the several hundred $ we paid two years ago. We just got a refurbished Dyson Animal Complete.(Amazon/$230)--The 6 mos warranty is extended 3 more yrs for$26.40.=HAPPY!!! read more

That specialty place, in a small-town "downtown" area, that you wished still existed? Maybe one that repairs clocks like timekeepers, or...whatever else? This place is very much part of that. Escondido has an old car show every friday, and I sortof don't like that because there are a lot of things about way back when that weren't exactly the best. But this place? Despite Amazon, google, or where ever else - it still survives, selling and repairing vacuum cleaners and sewing machines. How? Because they have amazing customer service, are altogether almost too friendly, and do an amazing job. I had 2 vacuums I was going to throw away and replace, because that's today's society. They made them brand new. If you're even remotely thinking about whether to but a vacuum from costco vs here, buy it here. Even if you pay a few bucks more - you get a year of cleaning! And a real person does a really amazing job. Disposable appliances really should stop being a thing. read more

I will start by admitting I obviously let them scam me. I was like the other reviewers, fooled by their friendly demeanor every time I'd been in the shop. When I went in to have my trusted Simplicity vacuum (purchased there YEARS earlier) to have a minor repair, I was bamboozled into buying a new Simplicity vacuum, which let me say, is not improved. I knew I was unsatisfied with the newer vacuum. I went back and didn't complain about the $700+ vacuum including trade in of mine. All I wanted was to get back my original Simplicity Vacuum even if I had to buy it back. So I paid the $50 and bought (what later turned out to be not my Simplicity). That one had to be returned because the plug did not work. Took it back and pleaded can I please get my original Simplicity back (again even if I had to pay more$). Nope. My point here being is the seem nice & helpful. And I bought my replacement bags from them for years. I have not touched the new Simplicity (I mean Riccar, which they say is the same) in the 6 months since its purchase. this now being the second time i've used it in 6 months, I must express my anger. And the Simplicity that they sold me for $50 extra that was not mine, id very frustrating to use because it shuts down within 5 mins. of use, every time. If they really are concerned about their customers they could of done something to rectify the problem, which I was willing to pay whatever I had to no matter who was right or wrong. I just wanted my original Simplicity vacuum back!! I will write a shorter, more to the point review another time. I just need to really vent my anger. read more

I have been taking my carpet cleaner to this shop, and the guys there are very helpful and they don't shame you when you haven't cared properly for the carpet cleaner! I have referred this shop to others. They are also easy to access with parking right outside the shop door. read more

I used to bring my sewing machine in to get serviced but never purchased a vacuum here until now. My boyfriend picked one up that I didn't like, so we went in to exchange it for something else. Armando was so helpful and we are both very happy with the vacuum we went home with. We were very impressed to see that customer service is still important here. Its no wonder they've been in business so long. read more

We've been coming here for 5 years. They are honest, and the service is excellent.

I just love the people here. The customer service is beyond fantastic. I bring my sewing machines for maintenance and service. But I needed a machine that was a bit more heavy duty and I bought a new one here. Like all new machines, understanding and learning its operation can be a challenge. My first attempts to get the tension and stitching sent me back to the store multiple times. And every time, I was greeted with patience and hands-on instruction until I finally got it right. Yes. I truly love them. They really strive to HELP and they want to ensure you are happy with the product. read more
