My refrigerator died and other appliance places said they could deliver a new one in a week or two. Southeast Steel had what I needed in stock and delivered next day. Their installers Joe and Emil know what they are doing and were terrific. John M. answered all my questions over the phone before the purchase. I don't know how I could be any happier, this was a perfect experience. read more

Love supporting local businesses. My Fridge quit early in the morning, and I was desperate to find Southeast Steel had the fridge I wanted in stock. Went down that morning, purchased it, and had it delivered that day, which was a plus. Delivery and hook-up were an additional $200. In delivering the fridge, they bumped the corner wall not once but twice. Bending the metal edge and cracking the plaster. The fridge was a 1/4 of an inch too tall, did measure store display showed a 1/16 inch shorter than the cabinet. Called and talked to someone in the office about it. They said it's adjustable and that a tech would contact me the next day. They never did; I contacted the manufacture they verified that it's not adjustable. Ended up taking the overhead cabinet down. Still pleased with the purchase and would go back. read more

Will never do anything there ever again. read more

Our experience with Southeast Steel started well. They had the professional range and microwave we wanted and said it could be delivered and installed quickly by MD Appliance. MD Appliance removed our old microwave, and then dropped it on our composite wood floor, leaving the floor scratched. The "old' microwave came with the house, so it was only one year old. We planned on reusing it in another house, but MD Appliance broke it when they dropped it, making a $700, year-old microwave oven a total loss. MD Appliance cracked the subway tile backsplash when they installed the new microwave. To repair,we would need to remove the microwave and hire a tile expert, probably at substantial cost, to repair. We needed to hire an electrician to install the range properly. MD Appliance said our plug was "on the wrong side." The same plug seemed to work fine with our old range. MD Appliance did not so much as acknowledge any of the issues they caused, much less offer to resolve them. We called to advise Southeast Steel about the install nightmare with MD Appliance. Southeast Steel could not have cared less that the people they are sending to install are so careless and destructive. This reflects poorly on Southeast Steel. I guess the MD in MD Appliance stands for Mass Destruction. Stay far away from them! read more

Rescued! Our previously trusty 12-year-old refrigerator failed on an otherwise pleasant Monday morning a few weeks ago. Southeast Steel's team rescued us within 24 hours. After realizing that our old refrigerator had died, we searched Southeast Steel's site for adequate replacements and then called to inquire about availability of 3 options. Salesman John Maciejewski helped us decide our best final choice of the three, then told us that they had that model in stock, that it was on sale for a bit more then 1/3 off, and that they could deliver it next day. Early Tuesday morning Southeast Steel colleagues Alex and Carlos arrived with the new refrigerator. They carefully disconnected and removed the old one from its custom cabinetry home in our kitchen, picked it up and carried it out of our house (400+ pounds. strong guys!) So, no damage to wood floors or tiled front porch. Then they picked up the new one, carried it into our house, installed its power cord and water line, leveled it, aligned its double doors, rolled it into its new spot in our kitchen cabinetry, and gave us a few instructions for how to use it. Superb service! We are grateful to the Southeast Steel team for rescuing us. And the new refrigerator has been working splendidly for a couple weeks. Yay! read more

I have been going to Southeast Steel for nearly 30 years for all my appliances. My dishwasher went out, so I went to the place I originally purchased the appliance. I was greeted immediately by Evans Harris who provided excellent customer service, explaining the various dishwasher lines based on what I said I was looking for in a dishwasher. I selected the Bosch model after Evans' input. As he was writing up the purchase, I asked if he could check my file to see when I purchased my last dishwasher from Southeast Steel. We were both amazed it was 19 years prior! (Dishwashers usually have an 8-10-year life span.) Evans than asked if I was available for delivery tomorrow and I was surprised as to the quick turnaround for delivery and installation. He recommended J & S Pro Install and Jose Calero as one of their best installers. It would result in an additional charge of $200 for delivery, installation (an electrical outlet needed to be added for the Borsh machine) and take away of my old appliance. It was $200 well spent, mainly due to the professionalism of Mr. Calero. Jose contacted me that evening after my purchase to say he had a 12-2pm opening available and I accepted the timeframe. Jose arrived precisely at noon. He did an outstanding job explaining the installation process and how my previous contractor did NOT re-install my old dishwasher properly and flush to the cabinetry. He also pointed out where the problem area was and explained how he was going to install the dishwasher so that it was not sticking out past the cabinets. Once completed, he explained how to use the dishwasher and did a test run. He also checked the drain process and tightened the U-pipe connections under the sink. He recommended I check the connections annually given the vibration of the garbage disposal tends to loosen the connections over time. Mr. Calero is a consummate installer and I highly recommend that when you purchase an appliance from Southeast Steel and need installation, you determine if he is available to complete the process. 5-star rating all around! Thank you, Southeast Steel, Evans Harris and Jose Calero for such a great experience! read more

I have been doing business with Southeast Steel for over 40 years.... honest and Subject matter expert's and great customer service!

Stu Kimball truly cares about customer service his staff from Dock, Office, Salesman are so kind, respectful, knowledgeable, patient with customer give you the time needed to choose your perfect appliance I never felt rushed they definitely know every aspect of their product John (salesman) explained in every detail the new technology of my new oven trust me I desperately needed the help my recent oven was 25 yrs old the new oven is awesome I love it great purchase Southeast Steel provided the best price compared to other stores I'm 100% satisfied treated like a customer (not a number) no need to compare shop again our go to store! Thank you Stu & staff for all your hard work and dedication to the customer Jeff and Debbie Benson read more

We had a great experience at this location today. We are completing a project and doing a change out of an appliance and wanted to get information as well as pricing. We found Dan S. was very personable, patient, informative, and helpful in options that we had. We do like the fact that Southeast Steel does provide an installation team as well. There were lots of various options for free standing grills and ovens, vent hoods, microwaves, refrigerators, and washer and dryers. read more

The deal isn't entirely done yet so I'll update if needed. But bought a dishwasher here and the knowledge of the person who sold it to us, the selection and the price were way better than Home Depot. It was nice to support a local business that isn't a huge chain and that specializes in appliances. Extremely helpful but not pushy salesman. Go here. Also--everyone was wearing masks. It felt Covid safe! read more

We have purchased appliances from Southeast Steel for many years. They are very knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service. Their delivery trucks arrive when scheduled and every detail is met with satisfaction. Most recently my refrigerator's control panel started acting up. It was beeping and flashing codes like a smoke detector that needed a battery replaced. Before I could get a repairman out to my house to fix it the freezer completely shut down and defrosted everything. At that point the refrigerator was dead to me and it needed to go. Literally 20 minutes into a phone call with Southeast Steel we purchased a new refrigerator and had a delivery date set for under a week. read more

Excellent service from Southeast Steel! It's the best place to purchase all your appliances! Dan and Spencer were great!

Excellent customer service, I have purchased all my appliances there and they never disappoint. Their delivery staff was informative and on time so I didn't have to take a whole day off work. Would definitely recommend. Love my GE washer and dryer those were my most recent additions, and I went with Thermador products in my kitchen. read more

They have lost their roots, their legacy & their grasp of any semblance of customer service. Southeast used to be the go to if you didn't want to deal with big box, retail or online purchases for top end appliances. They used to have tremendous sales experience and customer service, but now they are really no different than the big box locations out there. They still sell the high-end equipment, but there's absolutely no knowledge or customer service left in the place. It's too bad, they were the best. read more

Like several people have mentioned, SS used to be "the place" to purchase premium appliances in Central Florida. Their salespeople were knowledgeable and their service and install people were, too. We went to SS for appliances after we had shopped at the "big box stores" and although their prices weren't better at SS, they were "close enough" for what we thought would be excellent customer service compared to the big box stores. Greg was the guy I got on the phone and he was helpful, especially when it came to making that 10k+ sale. After that, things went downhill. We had ordered the appliances for a remodel and had asked SS to hold the appliances until we were ready for their install. Great, no problem. Until it was. We called a few weeks later and that is when we were told one of our appliances was back ordered for another month and a half. I think that is pretty important information that should have been shared as soon as they knew. Especially since we gave them an approximate date for when we would need the appliances. I could let that slide, given the supply chain mess left post-COVID. Once the appliance came in, another round of bad service started. Instead of Gregg, I got Evans. He didn't offer to get Gregg on the phone, so I figured it might be his day off or whatever, but as it played out Evans became our new "person" at SS. We scheduled the delivery of the appliance ASAP, which I will say was nice, since we had waited 3+ months for it. When it was delivered, there was still lots of renovations going on. The delivery guys took the appliance upstairs and installed it and left. We went to use the appliance, went on vacation a week later and then used the appliance when we got home. Christmas Day we were preparing for some more renovations and noticed newly done drywall had water stains. We traced it back to the appliance leaking. We stopped using the appliance, called SS the next business day and requested service to remedy the problem (brand new appliance leaking). I got Evans again and I sensed some attitude, but he contacted LG to have them send out a contracted service agent. The soonest they could come out was 1/6/24. Not great, but I get it-holidays.... When the service agent got to the house it was the last 5 minutes of the window we had been given. He looked at the appliance, stated he needed two service people to do the job and left without doing anything. I get it, not SS. More attitude from Evans when I explained that the service person came and went without fixing anything. Another call to LG for a service call. The new company was 2 weeks out on their service and it took every one of those 14 days to get out to look at the appliance. They were late, had recorded the incorrect service address and were even later when they finally arrived. But... when they got to the house they figured out that the appliance had been installed incorrectly by SS. They sent us the part that needed to be ordered to complete the install and were on their way. I forwarded to ticket and the needed part to Evans the next day, per his request (more attitude). Two days later we received a piece of the kit the repair guy said needed to be ordered (not the whole kit). We installed the piece, but there was still another piece (part of the kit) that was needed. Another call and more attitude and another e-mail with pictures of the part needed. Two days later a random part that was NOT needed arrived. This time an e-mail with more pictures of the missing piece and more attitude from Evans. I gave up (I'm sure that's what they were hoping for). I researched the part number, ordered it myself and had it overnighted. 5+ months later and the appliance will be properly installed. Ugh! It shouldn't be this hard! And I didn't save myself any grief or get any better service than the big box stores and I paid more for it all, too. I really hope my story is unique and all of the others going to SS for the same reasons we did, get what they went for. We didn't. read more

When you need them they are there! Woke up to an entire fridge and freezer literally melting. Needed to act fast and Southeast Steele jumped in right away. By 4pm I had a delivered and installed brand new refrigerator. They were professional, kind and did everything to help me. Top notch service and a wonderful team! I am now customer for life. read more

Have been in several time over the past 40+ years and totally ignored. Alway buy elsewhere. Need new kitchen appliances so may give them another opportunity, if for no other reason than to amuse myself at their lack of salesmanship/customer service. read more

The staff was rude and unhelpful. They really need to work on their communication skills and show more respect to customers. I won't return.

I almost skipped coming here because I didn't feel like driving an hour away for an appliance. But I was desperate to find a 2-drawer dishwasher for our kitchen renovation. It did take a couple of minutes for a salesperson to find me but, to be honest, they were busy with other customers. Once Gregory was able to help, I found exactly what I was looking for. He was so friendly and helpful. Of course, with the supply issues, I still have to wait 2 months for it to arrive. But I would definitely shop here again. read more

Customer service is terrible. Once purchased a $5000 range that didn't work and they kept trying to "fix it vs replacing it". Tried to but a Cafe microwave today but they only have it in the warehouse. I wanted to see it before I purchased it and they said no. They don't care. read more

We were in desperate need of a very specific type of microwave. After visiting the usual big box stores, and finding the ridiculously limited options they had sitting out for you to see, we went to Southeast Steel. Of course there are drawbacks.....lack of air conditioning being the main one, followed by lack of organization. They easily overcome this, though, with stellar customer service. We spent time there discussing the options we had, pricing differences, and learning how long any of them would take to special order. The timing of arrival was spot on, and the process to have them load it into our vehicle was simple. If you are in need of an appliance that isn't fully mainstream and want someone to walk you through it as opposed to just trying to order something off of a website, this is your place. read more

This appliance store is a bit difficult to get to, with their parking lot being barely able to contain the number of customers that you find here, but the trip will be worth your time. We were referred to Craig Menzies from a friend of ours and while the other staff there is probably just as good, I can vouch for him personally. If you haven't tried to locate appliances during the past few months, consider yourself lucky. The ongoing COVID crisis has significantly delayed the building and shipping of many of these things - particularly refrigerators. Prior to coming here, we had spent several hours at a major home improvement store in the area, ordering five separate pieces. Without being able to get all five items at once, we were resigned to wait until all came in order to get even one. Two months later, we were still waiting and gave Southeast Steel a shot to take our money. Craig was very knowledgeable about the appliance industry and could tell from the model numbers what we were looking at. He had almost everything in stock and could quickly make recommendations about other alternatives, without pressuring us to upgrade. We made our selections, after about an hour of time viewing and discussing the appliances and Craig finalized the sale. The store met or exceeded the major chain costs, had a much greater selection, delivers and installs them much more cheaply and hauls off the old appliances for free. In addition, there were some benefits related to the warranties, having them extended. I will tell you that this is now my first choice for anything appliance related. Things being the way that they are, there is still a wait for some of our appliances, but I'd much rather wait on a company like Southeast Steel, where I feel like a valued customer than a big box store where I'm a number. read more

Please tell me how you block a car in, are nowhere to be found, and there was NO answer when I call the phone number on the truck and online.

"Where you get the best deal!" I have purchased appliances there several times over the last 30 years - saved hundreds of dollars by doing so!! I will be in there soon to buy a replacement refrigerator for our kitchen. read more

I knew I was going to have to replace my refrigerator at some point. It was getting to the end of it's life and I had done some preliminary checking at the big box stores but every "expert" I spoke to could only speak to the basics that you can read on the quick fact sheet stuck to the front of any appliance.... cool, we can all read? Not helpful. I decided that when I resumed looking, I'd check out some of the smaller appliance stores around town. I was out of town when my fridge finally bit the dust. First up on my list was Southeast Steel. I waked in with only my fridge dimensions and a few options about features and that's where Craig took over. He was AMAZING!! He was so thorough! He took his time, gave me lots of great information regarding brands, features and longevity while giving me the space to draw my own conclusions and never rushing the process. In addition, Craig offered to have a temporary refrigerator brought to my house while I awaited my new fridge delivery. WOW!! They were even able to get me a new door when my contractor scratched my brand new fridge!! I can't sing the praises of Craig and Southeast Steel enough. Just go there!! They will take amazing care of you!! I'm looking forward to my next purchase!! read more

Old school place with knowledgeable staff and wide selection. I had been texting them in regards to a sale price on one fridge in particular, and ended up coming in to make the purchase. This is the kind of place you go when you want something above and beyond the "help" you would get at a place like Home Depot. They allowed me to buy at the reduced price and then hold the item until I need it delivered in a couple of months. To me, that is next level customer service. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone I know in need of appliances. read more

So when we purchased all new kitchen appliances 8 or 9 years ago I called back later to complain about the ice in the icemaker bin always melting together. "Oh yeah, we get lots of complaints about that". Why the hell didn't you tell me before I shelled out all that cash? And the GE electric cooktop is awful. Turn a burner off and it's still too hot to touch over 30 minutes later. Our very very old gas stove at our second home is quite superior to this modern piece of crap. I'm going with induction, but not from these guys. read more

Southeast Steal used to care about the customer but NEVER could I recommend them to anyone ever again. I needed a whole house of high end replacement appliances.. they could have cared LESS and did not honor their sales price or gave one damn. Move elsewhere people. They definitely have fallen. read more

A previous owner of our home had made some purchases here, so we got a "______ Or Current Resident" invite to their recent private sale. We needed a new range so we went in. The sale was pretty crowded - maybe it's only a semi-private sale :) Their location is large and warehouse-like, with far more models on display than the appliance sections of the big box retailers. You'll find row upon row of french door refrigerators at all price points. Still, if you're looking for something super granular - e.g., we needed a gas, slide-in range - you may only have a few choices (which beats the "none" we found on display at the big boxes). They have plenty of help on hand plus the semi-pro lines all had their own staff, the Wolf rep was super helpful. We did find what we wanted - a Wolf range - which we got at a (small) extra discount plus a free pizza stone kit upgrade. As I mentioned before there was a good crowd at the private sale... the line to check out was about half an hour. Delivery/installation was scheduled for about two weeks out from our purchase and was overall a good experience with a small scheduling hiccup - the window was 9:30-1:30 but they actually arrived more like 2 and sent the installer to my house about a half hour too early, when they were still in St. Cloud. Would definitely shop them again when looking to replace other appliances. read more

Southeast Steel - We ultimately purchased a Wolf. Here's one in the wild at Southeast Steel - Appliances Near Me - Orlando, Florida

These guys are great- they know appliances, understand customer service and price fairly. What's not to like. We are partial to sales rep Dan Soloman. Many, many times he has gone out of his way to give us advice and special service. read more

These people just lost a customer. I pulled into the parking lot which was completely empty, to make a five-minute phone call so I wouldn't be talking and driving. The manager came out in a huff threatening to have me towed. I explained I was on a call for five minutes and would be on my way. He held up a towing sticker. Mind you the place just opened at 8 and the parking lot was empty. Sad he took this approach. read more

Complaint about new Maytag refrigerator broken/unrepairable for six months * Date of transaction - Purchased 3/7/22 * Amount of money paid - $1551.39 * Committed to provide a new Maytag refrigerator with icemaker * Dispute over getting the "runaround" for six months. The new refrigerator was delivered to me on 3/11/22. In April, the factory authorized repair company, Expert Home Repairs, Inc. (appliance repair) came out to repair the problem, the freezer was frosting up and the refrigerator was warm inside. They had to order a part. They installed the part. One month later the frig/freezer were not working again, same problem. This happened at least 4 times in six months, all repairs are documented at Maytag. Expert Home Repairs, Inc. will not declare the refrigerator "unrepairable" because they have been burned, not compensated by an appliance company before, and lost over $2000. Maytag sent another company here, Fields Appliance Service. The technician did not honor the window for the service call, 8 AM to 4 PM. I was at work. They called me 30 minutes before their arrival time, at 9:37 AM. I told them I could be there by 11:00. I told them I would leave work and meet them at my home. They told me they could not wait nor return in the PM. The refrigerator does not work. I am living from a cooler filled with the ice I buy at the grocery store. I have lost hundreds of dollars of food in the past six months. I paid $1500 for a new refrigerator that works. The refrigerator needs to be declared "unrepairable" and hauled away. I need Maytag to authorize South East Steel in Orlando to pick up the unrepairable refrigerator and issue me a complete refund. * I have tried to resolve this for six months. Some customer service personnel have tried to help me get a resolution but they are at the bottom of the "feeding chain". The Management has given me the runaround for six months. * Order #445414-3 read more

I have had a horrible experience with Southeast Steel. The installers and customer service is non existing.

I recommended Southeast Steel to my son who just moved into a new home. They went today and where totally ignored. When they asked for help, the salesman walked away from them. My wife and had purchased items here before, but never again. read more

I would love to LOVE Southeast Steel, but unfortunately even their sale pricing is substanstially higher than going to a big box store. Their salespeople are very knowledgeable and great to talk to about different options, but sadly when competitive price shopping SS always is the highest around. If I had limited time and knowledge I would have no hesitation in using them in a pinch. Note: this is an old school, open door shop. This place is dusty and dirty! Don't go thinking your clothes will stay pristine if you're truly looking at appliances! read more

I purchased a Speed Queen top-load washer on January 11, 2018 from SouthEast Steel Appliance Warehouse in Orlando, FL. What a mistake. This is the biggest piece of junk appliance I have ever owned. Next Monday, I will see a serivce technician for the 6th time to try to resolve YET another issue. I owned a SEARS washer for 15 years - not one problem. Southeast Steel has expressed NO desire to help me replace this junk. I just want my money back for this lemon. They just say "well, it's under warranty so get a service tech out to fix it". I plan to speak with them one last time to try to resolve...and then I will do whatever necessary to make sure the owner, employees, and customers know about their horrible sales/service. I expected far, far better from a supposed quality brand as Speed Queen...and Southeast Steel is deplorable. Pat M. read more

We were first time customers at Southeast Steel. A friend suggested I go there as I've had repeatedly bad experiences at the big box stores, including extremely poor delivery service. Southeast was as easy as it gets. Helpful, knowledgeable sales, item delivered next day -- even earlier than anticipated. We can't recall the last time we made a larger purchase, were treated so well and everything went so smooth. This won't be our last time to shop at Southeast Steel. read more

NO CALL NO SHOW Delivery two days in row. They love to take your money, but then no communication and no service after the sale. No idea if or when we will get our appliances. Good thing we used a credit card so we can cancel the sale! read more

Look no further for your Appliances!! We did an entire kitchen remodel for my son's home in Orlando. Being from out of state, I was fortunate to discover Southeast Steel Appliance Warehouse. We were looking for a refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. We spent hours researching for these appliances at Best Buy, Lowe's and other places to find prices comparable but none of the places could guarantee all three products would be delivered at the same time in order to complete our kitchen remodel. After several days of frustration, we found Southeast Steel Appliance. We negotiated with Greg, salesperson. I was confident Southeast Steel Appliance could meet our deadline and beat the prices of Lowe's or Best Buy. Conversations over the phone with Greg were very professional and easy to communicate with him exactly what we were looking for. As our remodel install date came closer, I had the opportunity to speak with Stu Kimball, Owner and President for Southeast Steel Appliance Warehouse. I learned further this place was a family-owned business for over eighty years which is in the heart of Orlando downtown. Because of the pandemic and a hurricane in the Texas area there was a potential delay in receiving our refrigerator. Mr. Kimball verified our purchase order and reassured us all three of our products would be delivered on time as expected. Amazing services and their honored commitment to the customer, we got all three appliances on time and they are beautiful. Southeast Steel Appliance representatives have gone above and beyond providing service to us. We are extremely happy with the products we received. Customers should not hesitate to buy their appliances from Southeast Steel Appliance Warehouse. We are telling our family and friends that this warehouse is a very reputable place, look no further, as we will not hesitate to purchase again from the Stu Kimball family business. Again, Thank you.

My friend and I stopped in today to look for appliances we will mot need for 6 mos to one year from now. Craig met us when we came in. We explained how we didn't need anything for a while. But he treated us as if we were buying them today. He took us through washer/dryers, stoves, refrigerators, vent hoods, dishwashers and microwaves. He educated us and answered every question we had with patients and knowledge. I will definitely be back to purchase every appliance from Craig. Thank you! read more
