In-store price of $599.95 (AMANA Model: NTW4516FW), other competitors offer exact model at least $150 cheaper.
Kiyoshi N.

If you have the time and resources, shop around first for cheaper, viable options. Their business name itself (THE DISCOUNT STORE) is misleading as their prices far exceed competitors. Additionally, their "haul-away" fee VARIES and is at least $10+ more than what other businesses offer. I attempted to negotiate with the owner MOHAMED [MIKE] ALLWER (over-the-phone) on matching several other Big Box retailer's prices to no avail. I will gladly patronize smaller local businesses than the latter, especially during this economic downturn. He simply interrupted me mid-sentence and told me the model I was inquiring about had "already sold out" and they only have "more expensive" models available. I was already familiar with this tactic since he tried to upsell me an expensive model initially during my in-store visit. It makes me question their honesty and integrity since I had stopped by @10a and called back @12p the very same day. On to the next one. EDIT 8/20/20 I exploited my wife into calling this business to validate my inquiry (same day). Sure enough, the appliance in question is in-fact in-stock (immediately available)--AMAZING! QUICK RESTOCK! BUT there is now a delivery fee ($60) + haul-away fee ($45.95). [I was quoted $30 for haul-away fee btw] Their website explicitly states FREE DELIVERY--WE INSTALL AND HAUL AWAY. Also, their prices via website DO NOT reflect the store prices, even for the exact model/SKU. If they decide to honor the cheaper website prices, BEWARE of any additional fraudulent fees (ie delivery, etc.) tacked on. How they've managed to operate this long is beyond me. TLDR--Deductive logic leads me to conclude that the owner-MOHAMED (MIKE) ALLWER is: A) Delusional B) Senile C) Suffering from Dementia/Alzheimer's D) All of the above NOTABLE--I included a receipt from LOWE'S for proof that I was committed to purchase, but ultimately due to your crooked antics, you lost one. I will not be referring ANYONE to your business, but rather share my unfortunate story. Also, the Mrs is native Japanese and will negatively mention you to her "crowd" of nihonjin friends/associates residing in Hawaii and abroad. I will close this review with a quote deemed fitting to said circumstance. "YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!"--Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder)

Do they rent appliances?

Just called them, and NO they don't do short term appliance rentals. One place that does is Rent-a-Center, there is a one month minimum fee plus delivery charges.

They were very punctual with appointments, actually arriving early for each visits. They give you a heads up when they are on their way. They worked with me on a holiday (new year's day) and weekends. My dryer was stopping mid-cycle. During the first visit, Sergey diagnosed the issue as the timer and replaced it. Unfortunately, that did not resolve the problem. After I contacted them again, he returned to recheck the dryer and was able to identify the actual issue, which required ordering an additional part. The part took about a week to arrive, and although I did have to follow up, he returned at a time that was convenient for me and completed the repair. My dryer is now working properly. Overall, YZ Pro was professional, friendly, and made a genuine effort to accommodate me and see the job through. Their pricing is on the higher side, but they ultimately resolved the issue and completed the service.

Our washing machine recently went on the blink. We've also had our dryer for a number of years also…read moreand wouldn't have been surprised if it had gone the same way too. Okay, time to buy a washer and dryer, as major appliances these days have a short life and not worth repairing. My stress level rises, as there are limited stores that stock major appliances and need to order from the Mainland, which will take days. Until we found the Costco Wholesale Home Showroom in Pearl City, which opened on 10/11/24. It's a brick-and-mortar store that took the place of the Sears Distribution Store where you can browse in person of large furniture and equipment items. Hubby knew what he was looking for, as he tried to do his research in knowing which brands to look for because of various reasons (hard to find parts, product problems, etc.). He was looking for the Maytag brand. Costco has some special rules in selling its furniture and large appliances: * Costco Wholesale membership is required to make purchases. As soon as you enter the Showroom, you must scan your membership card against a machine. * The showroom allows for a number of large items (TVs, furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, outdoor furniture, couches, dining tables, bedroom furniture, beds, washers/dryers, refrigerators, massage chairs, credenzas, etc.) to be placed in one area to be sold. The regular Costco stores lack the space to store large furniture and equipment for its members to view them all at one time. The showroom interior is spacious, clean, and air-conditioned. * The showroom requires you to order items that are delivered with an estimated delivery date to the member's address, installed as needed, and the initial item hauled away. There may be shipping, delivery and hall-away fees. (For a washer, I was quoted a shipping fee of $29, which was nominal.) Prices appear reasonable. This contrasts with the regular Costco stores in that if you purchase a large item such as this, you haul it away on your own and dispose the initial item on your own. We often wish we could purchase large items this way; however, because we don't own a truck and are elderly, we would have to bother family members for assistance. Delivery occurred without any hitch. Costco provided the Board of Water Supply's Water Sensible Rebate Program application for completion. * The Showroom acts as an online shopping account. One could make purchases and place orders at home using a computer. The Showroom has staff to assist if needed. As hubby and I are technology challenged, we welcome the assistance of staff to ensure that we ordered correctly. Our experience with the Costco staff, Leanne and Maddy, was extremely friendly, patient and helpful. * Hours of operation differ from regular Costco Wholesale stores. The Showroom hours of operation are: Mon closed, Tues to Sat 10a to i6p, and Sun 10a to 5p. There are no Executive Member hours from 9a to 10a daily. Living on an island has its drawbacks, as there are limited stores where you can purchase furniture and major appliances. Glad that Costco has established a Showroom on Oahu that has reasonable prices and is convenient for its members to purchase these items without having to haul it away on your own and dispose of the non-working items.

The delivery team arrived approximately 40 minutes late without any notice or communication…read more Immediately upon arrival, the driver stated he was "not happy" and began arguing with me about the delivery before even making any meaningful attempt to move the refrigerator. The refrigerator was supposed to be delivered upstairs into my home, and the stairs were clearly disclosed in the delivery instructions ahead of time. One of the delivery workers stated that the refrigerator could potentially be brought upstairs, but the driver refused to even attempt the delivery. The refrigerator was never removed from the dolly, lifted, repositioned, or properly assessed for delivery. The driver repeatedly stated he was not going to move it at all and left the refrigerator sitting in my garage. During the delivery, I contacted Island Movers customer service and spoke with an employee named Cece. I found her behavior extremely disrespectful and unprofessional, as she laughed during the phone call while I was trying to resolve the situation. I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and concern shown throughout the entire ordeal. In an effort to help complete the delivery and eliminate liability concerns, I even offered to sign a waiver accepting responsibility for any possible damage to the refrigerator, floors, or property. Despite this, the driver still refused to make any attempt whatsoever to complete the delivery. I had to take time off work for this appointment, only for the delivery crew to essentially refuse service after arriving. The refrigerator is still sitting unusable in my garage due to their refusal to complete the delivery. I am extremely disappointed that Costco contracts with a company that operates in this manner.

I was there because they have a special 35% off sales, such a great value because I saved about $400, with the help of the staff, took less than 15 minutes to find the dishwasher I am looking for. If you want a two draws dishwasher, this is the place you can find it. Since they are a distributor and they do not have people to install the unit. They recommend me to a company which I called them later and arrange insulation in a few days, it was a fantastic experience for me, if you like high-end appliances, check it out.

A few tips: This place is very busy in sells out quite quickly so don't delay if you're looking for an appliance go down there quickly. For example, I had called right before I went, Wini said that there was eight washers available. When I got there, four of them had already sold. This makes me so happy that they are doing such good business, because stores like this, with a purpose other than just to make money, to help to save the environment, are so rare, I hope that they stay in business forever. The mission is so wonderful. Another bonus is supporting local! I did get a chance to browse their mattresses, they're very very comfortable. Great prices, c and I think that all of them are brand new, I believe they make them, so if you are looking for a mattress definitely go to go to Ross Appliance and Mattress.

If you couldn't hear it, you could feel it when you opened the door. We called to let them know. They said they'd get on it. Nothing. Called again a couple of weeks later. They said they'd get on it. Nothing. And again. Again nothing. Called today. They didn't answer. They don't have voicemail. It's been two months. They supposedly have a 6 month warranty. It might be the fan issue, because no matter how warm I turn the fridge setting to, our food keeps freezing in the back. Can't even leave a message on the phone.

Shout out to Kayli for all her help last night…read more So the other day I was cooking dinner for my dad & when I went into his refrigerator, I noticed it didn't seem that cold? But when I checked the freezer, it appeared that it was working properly. I asked my dad if the fridge was okay? And he in turned told me that it was, so I really didn't think anything more of it. Several days later, after shopping for some food for my dad, when I was putting some produce items into his fridge, I again asked him if the refrigerator was okay, then he finally told me "maybe something was wrong". I rechecked the settings on the refrigerator, rechecked the vents from the freezer, seals on the door, and everything appeared to be okay. Being that my dad's refrigerator was 11 years old (I remembered buying it in 2014), I guess it was time for a replacement. Luckily for me, November has rolled around and since a lot of folks will be feasting towards the end of November, "Black Friday" sales have started & Home Depot has their big "Black Friday" sales event for the entire month of November. At first I went to Best Buy, because I purchased the refrigerator & stove from there back in 2014, but upon arriving there, I couldn't get any help so I left the store & headed across the street to Home Depot. Upon lookin' at the fridges, I found a fridge that would fit in my dad's kitchen space & looked for a clerk to help me. Luckily I came across Kayli, and she was so helpful in processing my transaction. Timing was just right for me, as the delivery of the refrigerator was FREE due to the Black Friday sales, and I only had to pay $50 bucks for the removal of the old refrigerator. The refrigerator I purchased was in stock, so Saturday they will deliver it to our house. How's that for great service???!!! Much MAHALO Home Depot, and Kayli! You really helped us out of jam, as I realky needed a running refrigerator, especially since Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
