Took my dyson dc 50 to fix the spinning brush. The service was done within a day and it was great. I am so glad there are still small family owned business around. Very impressed! read more

Found this gem by google when our beloved kitchen aid mixer was having issues after 19 years of ownership. It took some time to get fixed, but it was fixed and it's been running as smoothly as ever! The quality of work is outstanding...I think the owner is there all the time..They've been in business for over 50 years, they must be doing something right! read more

Great place to deal with. Extremely knowledgeable about a wide variety of appliances. I brought in my KitchenAid Mixer for repair, and they did a great job. Only issue was that I had to call them a few times to check on the status. Communication could have been a bit better, but overall a very good experience. read more

The counter service is good and if you are there to look for parts,they are great at having items for old appliances which might be obsolete, but they take advantage with high prices because they know you can not get it anywhere else. also last minute surprise is that it is a cash only business. I wnder how much of the tax they collect in cash gets paid to the government. read more

Updating this to add that I sent my kitchenaid mixer to kitchenaid and they fixed it for under $50 shipping included. This place is a scam! Send your kitchenaid mixers in to kitchenaid for any repairs instead. read more

Came here for my dad at his request for a norelco head replacement. Took a $30 deposit and promised 4-6 wk delivery. Gave him the benefit of doubt and waited over 9 weeks and still not in...guess what! Got it in less than 24 hours on Amazon! read more

I took a rice cooker to have it fixed here. The service is great. It took almost 2 months to have t fixed which seemed like a long time. Maybe they had to order to the parts but still seemed long. Other than that, it works great now. They were very professional. Would definitely bring other things here to have fixed. Also, cash only, really... I don't understand how anywhere is still cash only in 2014, but that's just me I guess. read more

Took my sick vacuum cleaner to Solomon's on Tuesday 6/11/19 at 4:30 PM. There was a blockage in the hose, which they were able to fix in 40 minutes, restoring 95-98% function. Very, very happy! Recommend Solomon's very highly! read more

It is so rare to find an independently-owned appliance repair shop these days. What even rarer is good, personalized customer service, especially in NYC (I've lived here for over a decade and love it but I also grew up in the South and lived in the Midwest....there are very different approaches to customer services depending on the city!). I brought my broken kitchen-aid stand mixer in and Solomon fixed it just as promised. To be clear, there is a system to follow (keep original receipts, non-refundable deposit, must pick up within 30 days, etc etc) but it all makes sense and he has been in business for so long that his system is tried-and-true. I found Solomon to be honest and transparent. He called me to give me the quote of the repair cost and gave me the option to proceed or not. I agreed to proceed and it wasn't a cheap repair but it was less than buying a whole new appliance, and in our throw-away culture it is a gem to find a shop like this. read more

Had my DYSON vacuum cleaner fixed twice, guys did a great job!

I don't understand why Solomon's has gotten such bad reviews. I can only assume the dissenters went there with a New York attitude that I want it fixed and I want it fixed now. This is a small shop and cannot offer that kind of service. What it does have is service impossible to find somewhere else, especially in Manhattan. I called about a repair for a very old toaster oven. It was explained to me that I would have to bring it in, leave a deposit while they looked it over, and if they could fix it they would quote a price and the deposit would be applied to that quote OR I could refuse the repair and forfeit the deposit. I didn't ask when they would call nor how long it would take to repair. Within two days I was called with a quote. After approving the repair, I was called within 10 days and told it was ready to be picked up. When I picked it up, I was offered help with lifting it into the case I had brought to carry it in. When I got home it did work like new and was guaranteed for 90 days. What more can you ask? read more

I took my Waring Pro waffle maker in today, to see if Solomon's could help. The waffles were sticking to the plates, after only six months of use. Bruce, the man at the counter, was courteous, professional and very helpful. Since the waffle maker was still in warranty, I opted to exchange it for a new one, which Bruce will have delivered, at zero cost. I was very happy with my experience at Solomon's, and I wish there were more local businesses like it! I would definitely recommend it. read more

A real old school Brooklyn experience. The owner (?) is a bit long winded but clearly wants to be helpful. He will fix almost anything that you can carry and runs on electricity. Very friendly and a slice of old New York (he's been there over 50years). One downside: cash only for repairs read more

What a truly lovely experience. You just don't find appliance repair places like this anymore- incredibly knowledgable & honest. A true gem. Brought in my Kitchenaid mixer, although they repair every and all types of appliances, and couldn't be happier with the service I received. They are close to the subway and worth the trip out there- no matter how far away you are. Plan to make this my go to repair place. Thanks again!! read more

My Kitchen Aid mixer broke and I took it to Solomon's. I didn't have the bowl and the Owner very nicely explained why he couldn't fix it without having the bowl to gauge the height of the mixer properly. When I brought the mixer and bowl back. it was promptly and timely repaired. The knob had also broken. He told me it would be expensive to repair the knob since it was part of a larger piece and that to replace the knob he would have to replace the larger piece. He suggested I wrap the metal lever with band aids and use it that way. I followed his advice and while perhaps not beautiful, it works and saved me a fair amount of money. Not long afterwards, I brought my old electrolux to him for repair. It had been repaired by an official electrolux repair shop in Manhattan a few years prior at an exhorbitant amount of money. I didn't think it worth it to spend that again and was prepared to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Solomon's told me that the new machines (other brands, not electrolux which is no longer made by electrolux) were no where near as good quality. He could have sold me a new vacuum for $400-$700. Instead, although he made far less on the transaction, he replaced the hose of my electrolux, which has worked perfectly ever since. It is nice to have a local business that puts the customer's interest ahead of his own pocketbook. I don't know what the other folks who complain about attitude and unresponsiveness did to elicit such a reaction, but I found Solomon's a wonderful shop. I will bring other items to repair and highly, highly recommend this shop and its owner. Amy F read more

Solomon's is a great local appliance store. I live in Brooklyn and it was extremely easy to get to by train. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and able to pinpoint the problem. I brought in a Waring blender - from the "retro" collection. The shop was suggested to me by the Waring Customer Service Center - a highly commendable review! Apparently they fix all types of appliances. In addition they have new products! Thanks! Susan read more

I will never return. Dropped off a repair and, after a couple weeks I called for status; the dude behind the counter (the only guy ever there) said, "the person you need to speak with isn't here." I called back a couple weeks later and the same guy said it was ready but I now had to pay a storage fee (and told me he'd called me 5 times -- lie.) When I got there, I watched him turn out a limping old lady because she couldn't find her receipt -- even though she had I.D. He even said, "I recognize you." and still wouldn't return her appliance. I also discovered later that he over-charged me on sales tax and didn't credit the $40 labor deposit -- screwing me out of close to $50. Finally, check out the "F" rating given by the Better Business Bureau (despite the fact that they hang a glowling letter dated 1989): http://www.bbb.org/NYC/business-reviews/appliances-major-dealers/solomon-s-appliance-repair-in-brooklyn-ny-3958/ read more

Do not go there. I took my coffee machine and they had the machine for over a month. The only reason I give two stars because the guy gave me my deposit back. Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I had to replace a switch on a Vacume cleaner, I just needed the part. He took a $15. Deposit. It took him about 4 weeks to get the part in (that was after numerous phone calls). When it finally did come in he charged me almost an additional $5. I took the part home and it was the wrong part. He had the correct model number of the machine. I went back he said he would reorder it. I went home and ordered the switch over the internet for $2. About 4 weeks later he calls and days the switch came in, by this time my machine was repaired, but if he had the part I would take it and keep it as a spare. Again he ordered the wrong part, and tried telling me it was the correct switch, even thought it looked nothing like the original and didn't fit. He totally refused to give me a refund. PS the part ordered from the internet was the exact same part, and came in 4 days of ordering read more

I gave him my kitchen aid mixer with a small defect and it was returned completely broken. Customer service is terrible and I heavily advice against his service! He says you will pick it up good as new, but it is returned in even worse condition! read more

be forewarned. i heard that the former owner is no longer there and this once very well run business has come to an end. instead,i was told it is being run by the son and this is the crux of the problem!! i left a Steam Iron with them for repair. after that drop off i never saw my appliance again! i had made many, many phone calls to them and i must have conversed with them at least 10 times. although i asked to speak to the owner/manager i "got nowhere". (although i do believe i was actually speaking to the owner who would not identify himself). they lost my appliance, would never admit it, and never offered to replace it. instead they continued to tell me that they were still attempting to locate my Iron. they were quite nasty and have no understanding of customer service. being poorly run is an understatement!! read more

What a gem of a business!! Bruce Solomon is a gentleman (who I happen to have gone to high school with!). He gave me great advice regarding my Blendtec, which didn't cost me a thing. My kitchen aid stand mixer and cuisinart food processor were fixed "good as new" in 4 days! EXCELLENT service, prompt phone calls that repairs were ready-- no wonder they are in business over 50 years. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience with this repair shop; the proprieter was friendly and knowledgeable, and yes, he will actually talk to you like a person (oh, the horror!) and take the time to explain what is wrong with your equipment (for me it was a KitchenAid mixer) and the best way to use it without causing undue wear and tear. I spent $180 to fix a machine that would have cost me $600 to buy new, totally worth it. If you want impersonal service by people who don't give a f@#k, go somewhere else (if you can even find another place to service old electrc appliances), but if you want old-fashioned customer service and competent repairs, Solomons is your place. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's cash-only and you have to lug your item down to Bath Beach, but if they can stay in business for 50 years with those little annoyances, they must be doing something right. read more

I took my Phillips Norelco shaver in to be fixed as it needed a new battery. The owner was not nice. He would not give me any estimate on what it would cost to fix, just that getting it diagnosed would be a non-refundable $20, no matter what turned out to be wrong. I told him it was a battery replacement, but he refused to give an estimate. I assured him I would not hold him to that estimate and that it was just so that I could decide if his pricing was fair and if it was more worthwhile to just replace the shaver, and that if it turned out to be something else I would not be upset, but he flatly refused. He also lectured me in a condescending and insulting way about not having brought in the recharging cable, asked how much I paid for the shaver and where I bought it ( I did not remember those details, just that it was definitely out of warranty period) and then acted as if he was superior for me just because I did not know the answers. I had read some of the negative YELP reviews and thought he was just some curmodgeonly but benign paternal figure, typical "old brooklyn" type, which I can appreciate, but that is just not the case. The guy is just a 50-something year old antisocial a-hole with a bad attitude and no interest in helping anyone out. After sizing him up, I decided to leave the place and find somewhere else to get the shaver fixed. When I called Phillips' help line, they said that this shaver is not fixable. Even if the battery runs out, it cannot be fixed. It is meant to be used and then disposed when it starts to die down. So, that would be one whole different YELP review: why buy an expensive, quality electric shaver that is designed for 4 years' use and then to be thrown out. But it does bring up the point: the guy at Solomon's would have knows this, just by looking at the shaver, but did not disclose this important piece of information. FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO GET YOUR APPLIANCES FIXED. read more

I took my Waring toaster here to get repaired. The service is great, very professional and reliable. I have used them in the past and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend them. read more

This is a wonderful gem of a shop. In a world where conspicuous consumtion is rife and repair shops are few Solomon's is a rare find. Bruce helped with my blender repair. He was knowledgeable and, more importantly, didn't try to sell me something I didn't need or want. They were quick and efficient and very friendly. We need to support more neighborhood places like this. read more

I took my Kitchen Aide mixer in for repair--somehow the lever was bent and frozen stuck..it took 3 weeks to get it back and I had to call twice to find out the status. It's an old-fashioned "neighborhoody " ( is that a word?) kind of place...nothing wrong with that except I could have done without the paint-by-numbers folksiness of the owner when I first brought it in and had to listen to this nonsense for about 15 minutes...anyway, now my mixer is FIXED and functioning!. read more

This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I am a handy person that has worked construction and fixed many things around my houses and apartment. But I wanted to go to a dealer for my partners KITCHENAID. (Please note that he was the only certified dealer in NY and KITCHENAID should revoke his certification based on his nonexistent customer service.) The place is very out of the way and he and his staff are rude beyond belief but I wanted to hang in so that this got fixed as a present. He gave a bunch of song and dance about how he was the best and would take awhile to fix since he is in such high demand. After months of waiting, I finally call him for the third time to get a status update. Only to be told that he supposedly called me once and left a message and that he was charging more since I had not pick up the item sooner. I calmly explained that I had not received any messages from him only for him to tell me that he calls from a blocked number but that he DEFINITELY left a message. When he started being rude, unreasonably and mansplaining along with hanging up on me during the call, I had to send my partner to pick up. While picking up the item, he tried to coax my partner into giving him a better review because he wanted a better YELP score. This guy is not worth it. Spend your money anywhere but here or just contact the company directly. I could have lived my entire life without meeting this horrible human on his downward spiral through life. read more

Took my Kitchen Aid blender there for repair. It wasn't under warranty, so I didn't have any of the issues the other reviewers had with paperwork. They fixed my blender relatively quickly and showed me why it had broken. It works very well now. The price estimate they gave me on the phone was just about right. Plus I got good advice on some other appliances. read more

I brought a KithchenAid stand mixer to Solomon's this week for repair and was 100% satisfied. I was a little put off by the few negative comments I saw but as I work in the area and the shop is in a very convenient location I tried them out. No problems whatsoever and I will be returning as a customer. Bruce took my order and he was friendly and explained their pricing policies to me. I brought the mixer in on Wednesday afternoon, I received a quote for reapairs the next morning, not cheap but definitely reasonable, and the mixer was 100% repaired the next day, Friday. Fast, friendly and convenient, that rates 5 stars in my book. read more

After talking to the guy at the counter I immediately felt comfortable with how they do business. They ask for a small deposit to examine the problem but if they repair it, that deposit goes towards the bill. Their prices are more than reasonable, which is great because I had no idea how much it would cost and I was nervous going in. Great guys, very friendly, would recommend them to anyone. read more

They did a great job of fixing my 21 year old kitchen aid mixer. It's good as new. They were also fast and friendly. only drawback... cash only. read more

I've had a KitchenAid mixer for a few years now and recently it stopped working. I called KitchenAid and was referred to Solomon's Appliance Center in Brooklyn. I took in my mixer for repair and the very nice, knowledgeable, counter man told me not to worry and that when I got it back it would be like new. The next day I was called with an estimate and explanation of what the repair would need, and I gave them my approval. No sooner than a day later I received a call that my mixer was fixed and ready to be picked up. I could not have been more pleased with the fast service, quality of work, and reasonable price. While at the store, I got some KitchenAid accessories that were cheaper than anywhere else I've looked. I also found out that they fix vacuums and many other appliances so I'll surely be back. This was an excellent experience and I recommend them highly. read more

I just found a piece for my vacuum cleaner at the store. A furniture dusting brush made of horsehair that won't scratch fine furniture as you dust. We have exterior cement work being done and everything needs to be dusted. Our Hoover doesn't come with a very soft brush, in fact the one we have is very stiff and not suitable for furniture cleaning. After going to an Electrolux parts store (only to find it shuttered) I tried Solomon's and low and behold he had just what I wanted. read more

Solomon use to be great years ago but recently whoever runs the place is rude. I went to buy a power chord for my mixer and not only did they charge more than what online part stores charge, but it was filthy and actually looked used. When I questioned it the guy gave me an attitude. Not only that they REFUSE to take anything back even if they are at fault. Horrible all around. read more
