Finallly the guys show up today, April 5, and these morons refuse to install it because standing there in their diapers, they complained about having to shave a 1/2" of a fomica wood countertop to fit the new cooktop. Cardinal Appliaces sent these babies. I asked them if they had reciprocating saw and their reply was said in unison like androids; "we are plumbers". So I asked them does that mean thet can't operate a saw? The replied, "We are plumbers". What do they do when they have to drill a hole through a floor joist to run a pipe? Call a carpenter? I have never met such iresponsible idiot contractors before in my life and I have acted as a General Contractor when I built my home. These guys were late for arrival, rude, condescending, ignorant and childish. Anyone who contracts an installation through Sears in Windham CO CT would be wise to inquire if the Cardinal Appliance Co will be doing the installation and ask for another installer. It is no wonder people hate unions because if these guys are any representation of their trade, they should be ashamed to call themselves men and go back and put their diapers on. When they are ready to work, someone please buy them some overalls and teach them what the word "work" means because as it stands now all, they know is how to wear diapers and tutus in order to dance around and find 10 ways how not to do something rather than 10 ways to do something..

Could see quit a bit of thread dust inside the door. Also asked if bobbin winder could be repaired (it worked, but needle would not disengage so I had to take needle off whenever I wound a bobbin) and was told once it was lubricated it would work fine. Picked it up a couple of days later and when I got it home the bobbin winder didn't work, and the wheel wouldn't turn at all. Took it back (which is a 45 minute drive each way) and the man that does the repairs yelled at me and the other employee that it works fine. I asked him to please show me and low-and-behold, it didn't. Just needed a quick adjustment so that was one problem solved. HOWEVER, when I voiced concern that I didn't think the machine was very clean, same man had an absolute temper tantrum and stormed off screaming at me and the other employee that no one is going to tell him how to do his job. (He said he vacuumed it out) I was stunned! Other employee said let's make this right.....I want you to be happy. However in the end did nothing to fix the problem or compensate me. And to add insult to injury, the prices on their website are not what they charge. They charged $100 for the "cleaning", not the $80 that was on their FAQ page. Tell me, do you think this is clean?

Have been going to Schiller's for some years.   I have an old Italian Necchi and a newer, cheap HD…read moreSinger.   I use them for projects, sewing leather and other heavy materials, etc.   I'm no real sewer, so though I try to keep the Necchi oiled and the singer needles fresh, my machines suffer.   Well, I've turned over a new leaf and bought a vintage Viking 6460.   These sewing machines sold for over $1,000 back in 1977 when new--the equivalent today of over $4,400!   The machine I bought second-hand looks near perfect but was frozen up from the characteristic auto-oiling problem, I followed the careful on-line instructions and freed up and oiled the machine and replaced the cracked cam stack.  It ran and stitched perfectly after that but clacked; ahhh, a cracked take up slide.   I've looked at that mechanism and it scares me--all the timing things on the machine are around that; so, cheap as I am, I've decided to take it to Schiller's.   They have never let me down.   I do hope that they can repair it, as parts are a problem and there are few people left in the world who can actually work on these intricate, 43-year-old machines.  How much confidence do I have in Schiller's?   I'm writing this review after phoning them to ask if they'll take a look at the Viking.   If I'm wrong about them--doubtful--I'll come back and talk about it. Update: They did their best, but for once, couldn't quite get it running fully. I then decided to bite the bullet and shipped it to PA for a Viking expert to completely rebuild--knowing that the man will soon retire (last of his kind?) and I wouldn't ever get all the cams working and some tough timing issues completely solved. In truth, they say that only a Viking-trained service person can really fix one of these unusual, complex machines. Some of the more esoteric parts are now being reproduced by 3-D printers! Schiller's did get it running for the most part, but now it's like new. Five stars all around for everybody's work. Happy camper

After I placed the order, I wanted to confirm the yardage and come to find out they added on four extra yards to my order to the tune of over $400. After some heated inquiry, I found that the reason they added the extra yardage on my order was to offset the "free" installation. I canceled the order and went to Lowe's and got much better treatment. I will never shop at Home Depot again. I'm sick and tired of sleazy practices. There's a lovely hardware store near me, Mansfield Supply, which has almost everything and you get personal service, good quality, and fair prices. That's where I will shop for all my hardware needs from now on. I'm finished with Home Depot.

The oven does not reach the temperature it is set at and can vary by over 100° at times! There is no option to calibrate it. They sent a tech to replace a part and it didn't fix it.

He was very understanding and stayed in touch with us for the following 3 months ordering supplies, checking on our delivery dates, etc., so he'd have everything ready to install for us. When we finally did schedule the start date, Mike dedicated 3 weeks to our project. He arrived on time, worked all day and stayed in contact every single day to make sure we were happy with that day's progress. He cleaned up every night and made sure all areas of our house (like carpets, walls, other rooms, etc) were protected with dust sheets or plastic lining. We are so thrilled with our new bathroom!!! It has exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Mike, and Wall2Wall Home Improvements, without hesitation, for any home improvement projects.
