A2 Vacuum moved out of their west Ann Arbor and Packard locations, and are now on the SE side of…read moreAnn Arbor, a time-consuming trip for me. But because they had previously given me great service, including repairs, I wanted to continue to patronize them. So I purchased 1-2 years- worth of Miele vacuum cleaner bags through their website, and they arrived promptly. I didn't even look on Amazon because Mr Bezos has enough money, and I'd rather support local, service-oriented places like this.

Excellent service. We took some knives in to get sharpened. Fast and inexpensive. Will go back…read moreagain.

We had a layover in Ann Arbor while changing buses and were in the area just a month earlier when…read morewe discovered this place. When we heard it was sadly closing down at the end of the year, we made a special trip just to stop in here. It's a beautiful store with more than just gardening supplies. We picked up some toys for our cats as well as some Christmas ornaments and postcards as memorabilia. And I especially love how despite Luis the store cat passing away over 10 years ago, you can still find lots of references to him around the store. Really wish there was a way to save this place. :(

Not friendly at all. Shame. Cute shop though. Don't shop here. Mean. Too bad. Maybe they can changeread more

Excellent service. I've bought my vacuum from them, and I got my KitchenAid tuned up. The staff is…read moreknowledgeable, honest, and helpful. The vacuums they sell are expensive but worth every penny. If you're serious about cleaning, shop here.

I was able to a get quote ($6 per knife) and it was finished within 10 minutes. They also did the paper cut test right in front of me! Very sharp. I didn't realize they sold awesome chef knives too and kitchen scissors! Great to know that this little vacuum shop is such a great local knife and scissors sharpening option (rather then sending it out via mail, etc).

It was clear that he knew his stuff and took pride in his work. He helped to reset the edge of my Wusthof chef knives to the proper angle and got them back to me sharpened razor sharp. He was quick and responsive to texts, the turn-around time was fast, and his fees were more than reasonable. Dave is awesome, I would recommend him to pro chefs and amateurs alike. I will definitely be back!

Just dropped my knives off this morning with Dave, and I couldn't be more impressed. He was…read moreincredibly thorough--not just in his sharpening, but in explaining what most people get wrong when it comes to knife care (turns out farmers market sharpening isn't always the best idea). He turned them around the same day--just a few hours, actually--and they're sharper than ever. On top of that, he shared super helpful tips on how to maintain the edge longer, the best types of cutting boards, and how to properly handle your knives. But honestly, what stood out the most was Dave himself. Kind, funny, easy to talk to, and full of great stories. Highly recommend Dave to anyone looking to give their knives the edge they deserve.

During my last visit, I also picked up a few used knives, as my daughter and I are constantly vying for our chef's knife. Their larger used knives are just $3 apiece, and they are SHARP. I feel stupid for paying premium prices for Wusthofs and Henkels. The gentleman also sharpened my daughter's beloved Leatherman blade better than it was when we bought it for her. Bring your knives to these wonderful people. They know what they're doing, and they are honest and humble about it.

Was very happy when they purchased Rowell's and brought quality products and service to Jackson. Two months ago I bought a new Sebo which was a great vac but only used it 3 times before new carpet was installed. Despite bringing home carpet samples, we found to our shock the installed carpet was WAY thicker than what we thought we were getting. So the Sebo model we just bought was not going to cut it. Rowell's allowed a trade in for a different Sebo that does work without any hassle and Rex was thorough in his guidance. What a relief! This kind of service does not exist at the big box stores. You might think you are paying more for your vac but remember they service what they sell and will keep it running for many years which is real value.
