First time within 6 moths of use. Second time roughly 6-7 months after that. Broken hinge is not a Midland problem but "customer service" essentially told us at first that we had to prove that we bought it there (they have all of our contact info), then it was insinuated that we clearly had a panel that was installed that was too heavy (techs said that it was not), then that it was up to us to call someone ! Finally, Bosch sent 2 technicians - the first one left the water connection unhooked and we had leaking that went on for days even though the dishwasher was not running- now have water damage to our new cabinets. There have been 4 technician visits so far and the broken door (second time around) still not fixed. Midland complaint is how our service request was handled, Bosch technical hinge issue is not MIdland's direct problem but I would not ever purchase a Bosh product again. And Midland needs to make it clear that for a custom built in dishwasher that a certain weight limit needs to be followed (we were). I'm 59 years old and have had many dishwashers in my life, including ones with panel doors. This has been a catastrophe. From a routine service call asking for a broken door hinge to be fixed we now have water damage caused by a water intake valve that was loosened and still no dishwasher after 6 weeks.

I see that most reviewers here had horrible, abhorrent experiences at this store. How interesting,…read moreas my experience was excellent! (I'm glad I didn't read all these reviews before I went there as, honestly, I probably would not have visited this store if I had read these reviews first). Backstory: a few years ago, my microwave died. This is the appliance I use most in my kitchen, so I was NOT happy. I went to Trail Appliances to get a new microwave. It had to have very specific dimensions as it is a built-in. I got an expensive new model there but opted not to get the expensive add-on warranty as I know microwaves usually last 7+ years. (Despite being impressed with the Trail Appliance showroom, I had some major issues with them. See my review from a few years ago). Anyway, wouldn't you know it, one week after this microwave's regular one-year warranty was up, this new, expensive microwave died. DEAD. One year and one week after purchase. I was fit to be tied. I vowed NEVER to go to Trail Appliances again. I so resented the whole matter that I resisted going to get another microwave for two whole years. (Yes, I bore a grudge lol! It was the whole principle of the matter). Finally, my kid begged me to get a new microwave, and I relented. I came to this store as it is close to me, and because I saw online that they had some microwaves that fit my dimensional specs. I admit, upon entering the store, I was a bit underwhelmed. It was definitely NOT the shiny, polished showroom at Trail Appliance. Far from. It reminded me of No Frills, as compared to, say, Whole Foods. (Don't get me wrong, though; I LOVE No Frills!). Here it was very basic, a showroom that was more like a small warehouse, with all the models just stored here in in the most space-efficient manner. But I saw that they carried all the major names in appliances, and I liked how nobody pounced on me as I looked around. After looking at the bank of microwaves, I went to a sales desk and spoke to Suraj Singh there. I told him my sob story about my dead microwave from Trails. I showed him the models I had found online on the CAS site that would work for me. He was extremely helpful and also gave me a lot of good advice regarding what to get and why. I liked that he didn't try to upsell me on their priciest models. Because I used to be an interior designer, I totally understand why he kept on asking me if I was 100% sure of the dimensions I needed, as the store had a lot of experience with people ordering appliances that ultimately did not work in their intended spaces, resulting in problems in installation and, usually, returning the appliances, and a lot of bad feelings. As I recall, I had to sign some documents, attesting to the fact that these are the dimensions needed and I stand by them. (As a designer, I remember having similar issues with people insisting they wanted certain furniture pieces and then waiting for delivery, and then finding out that the pieces wouldn't fit through their doorways, or were too big for the spaces, or didn't have clearance for opening up sofa beds, or whatever, and then they'd be angry at ME, despite refusing me access to double-check the space and take measurements before they ordered anything. This is such a common occurrence). I gotta say, I REALLY appreciated how Suraj said that I'd get emails from CAS, with copies of all documents for my purchase, and also keeping me updated on the status of my order. He said the machine would be coming in a few weeks and I'd get a call to confirm the date and time of arrival. And I SO appreciated that the delivery guy would take away my existing dead microwave (no other companies I had called were going to take away my old microwave. I figured I'd have to shlep it to a recycle center somewhere. This saved me a big trip). To make a long story short (sort of!), everything that Suraj said would happen DID happen. I got quite a few follow-up emails from CAS, got the new machine delivered when they said it would (the delivery guy was super nice too), they took away my dead microwave (GOOD RIDDANCE), I got all my documents (purchase order, receipts, manuals, etc) emailed to me (in addition to getting all the hard copies at the store), and there were no surprises or issues at all. My kid installed the new microwave and it works like a charm. So, yeah, I had a great experience here. They did what they said they would, I got the appliance I wanted to get, I paid a decent price for the model microwave I wanted, and there were NO surprises. I'll take this experience over the one I had at Trails anyday. (Note: I DID get the expended warranty on this microwave, just in case there's an issue down the road. Suraj gave me a good deal on it. I have learned my lesson).

I am sure I will be able to ask her on the phone if any questions come up. I will definitely be purchasing more accessories here, and it's nearby for repairs or maintenance needs. Their bookkeeping methods are a little dated; they accept only cash or credit cards, which they run through the old-fashioned carbon way. Receipts are hand-written neatly and in detail. I heartily recommend this store.
