We knew what we wanted and what we wanted to pay so the experience was quick and easy. We negotiated our price and ordered the items after shopping around. We also paid to have an old refrigerator removed which went well. We have had to call for service twice on the dishwasher - once out of warranty. However, since it was the second call for the same dishwasher (GE Profile- stainless) my husband insisted there be no charge. Overall, happy with the company.
Description of Work: Purchased double oven, cooktop, refrigerator, dishwasher, flat screen tv, frontload washer and dryer for remodel. Needed service for dishwasher twice in the year since owned.

Marvelous. The salesman didn't try to talk me into, or out of, anything; he was very cooperative in showing me those washers that had the features I wanted. The installers came on time, and even made friends with my dogs. They even flushed out some crud that was blocking my hot-water intake valve; the washer fills even better than the old one did! I've bought all of my appliances and almost all of my electronics from Abt. No muss, no fuss, just good prices and great service. Thanks, guys!

Great experience. Consulted with two sales people to learn about HDTV options. Reviewed lots of HDTV LCD and Plasma options. Abt has a diverse array of products on site, so lots of opportunity to play before purchasing! Did request to work with a second salesperson who connected with us better. (There are many associates available to help you, be sure you find someone who serves you best.)

I am so happy I discovered them, on recommendation of my neighbors when we moved to Chicago. They have always matched the best price I could find, they give trustworthy advice, and they are quick to come out if there is anything wrong, even where it might not have been necessary. Their repair service was happy to tell me how to hook up a turntable to my stereo (which was not purchased from ABT). Their delivery service is punctual and accomodating. And their showroom is gorgeous. ABT is my favorite Chicago retailer.

We have found our purchase and service experience with Abt to be very good. We definitely would consider them again for any appliance purchase.
Description of Work: Purchased refrigerator and dishwasher. Following intial purchase, we were unhappy with our selection. Abt willingly exchanged these items for a second choice. Subsequently, the dishwasher malfunctioned and a part under warranty needed replacement. Abt promptly replaced the part. Additionally, filter cartridges for our refrigerator needed replacement. We called Abt and they facilitated the filter order promptly.

Salesman had great knowledge about the products, and he was available for questions throughout our installation process as well as keeping us within budget. Everything was delivered and installed as expected. Great experience.
Description of Work: Purchased dishwasher, gas cooktop, microwave with hood,and double oven. All delivered and installed by Abt. Sales men are very knowledgeable and not pushy. Delivery and install are for a fee, but well worth the price. We used Abt's carpenters to rework existing cabinets and drawers to fit appliances. Their quote for work was spot on to final price. We were quoted for hundreds more by local carpenters. The final job was perfect.

I ordered and had delivered and installed a new washer/dryer combination. They were extremely helpful on the phone as I was selecting the models and placing the order. They called with a delivery time, were there right on time, suggested alternative (and much better) installation plan, removed the old appliances. I could not be happier.

It was the last weekend of the tax break for purchasing energy efficient appliances. they were very crowded. we were looking at the televisions to decide which one to purchase. Requested that they deliver in the evening. They have built their own recycle plant for appliances. They removed an old console tv. They charged $49.00 to install the television which consisted in my case plugging it in and running the channel program. I requested a PM delivery. The day of the delivery I received a call at work telling me they would be delivering between 11:00 am and 2:00pm. I had to change the delivery date. I would have been helpful if they would have said we cannot guarantee any delivery time.

Sales rep was ok. She kind of steered us towards certain products. Seemed as though they must get more commission for selling certain brands. Other than that was very helpful. Prices can't be beat!

They were great! When I had trouble with the Wolf Range, they came out at the time and date agreed to and also informed me that the stove was still under warranty and there was no charge.
Description of Work: I purchased all my kitchen appliances from ABT and would do it all over again if I needed to. The sales person Mac Patel was great. I also used their online service to purchase a below counter refrigerator with the same results.

Their service is really incredible. They go out of their way to help. The only downside of this experience for us was that the one installer was actually a little grumpy......indicating doubt during the entire install process of whether the product would actually work in the space provided. I think he was less experienced than the person that had been in our home two days earlier and the other installer working with him. In the end, there were no issues and everything has worked beautifully for the last couple of months. I've used this company before (washer/dryer purchase and install) and won't buy appliances anywhere else.
Description of Work: We had a strange sized cooktop cutout and did not wish to replace our granite countertops or have somemone cut them to a larger size. We were unable to find a new cooktop to replace our 17 year old one that would fit the same space as we were simply using the recommended specifications online. ABT sent someone out for free to measure the space and give us specific models that would fit -- and quoted gas, electric, and induction. We were able to install the cooktop two days later. They connected it to an existing gas line that was not in use previously. They also installed a new microwave oven while they were there.

They price-matched with any other brick & mortar store in the area. When I went to pick up the TV at the store, the cashier told me there was no mention whatsoever of me asking to physically pick up the TV. I was advised that on that weekend, there was a special sale and I could be eligible for a free DVD player due to my purchase. When I called my original salesman and left the message inquiring about any special offers, no call was returned.
Description of Work: TV Sales: I hunted around, got my estimates, called Abt, had the TV scheduled to be delivered for a Saturday party but also asked to be given the option to physically pick up the TV if I chose to do so.

The sales process was easy. No pressure at all and the salesman answered all our questions. He also suggested the lower priced floor model was a better deal than the new Bosch we were looking at. Delivery and setup were punctual and professional. They also removed our old machine.

I think everything's summed up above.
Description of Work: I bought a Maytag energy-star compliant refrigerator with the help of Uncle Sam's 15% rebate program. The sales personnel have always been helpful -- I've purchased a stove, a clothes dryer and a microwave oven from them, as well. The delivery people were prompt, courteous and careful not to damage the item being delivered or the walls of our home. Although I found a refrigerator at Home Depot that would have served my purposes well at a better price -- though they weren't the same item and, thus, I'm comparing apples to oranges -- I am generally happy with Abt. I go to them for appliances just as my father went to Sears for his Kenmore appliances and his Crafstman tools.

Everything was wonderful, we were able to price compare very easily and they are a full service company. Free delivery in Chicago. We were very happy.
Description of Work: We purchased all of our appliances through Abt for our condo in 2000 and when we moved in 2008 we purchased all of our appliances for our home through them. We did get the extended service plans through Abt and they have come out for a variety of small repairs (e.g., replacement of an oven lightbulb) and a few major repairs all under the warranty or extended service contract at no additional charge.

Went to ABT on 4/16 to purchase a new washer because of the 15% rebate offered by State of Illinois. Received the rebate for the washer and then decided to purchase the pedestal as well. ABT was giving 15% off for non-energy star products, which made the purchase worthwhile. Found a small freezer, again, not energy star and got the 15% discount on that as well. A delivery date was set up and I paid to have an old refrigerator removed as well. The delivery was scheduled for 4/23/2010 and was told I would receive a call with a 2 hour window of when the delivery would take place. The call came in a few minutes after 7am and the men arrived on time per the predetermined delivery window. It was difficult to get the appliances into and out of my basement. The delivery men were very pleasant and professional and did an excellent job of getting the appliances in and out of my small area. They were even nice enough to help me move things around because the original place I had chosen for the freezer was not working. While one delivery man was helping me move things around for the freezer the other one installed and tested the washer, so things went quickly and smoothly. They were very good about explaining things about the new washer. I would purchase from ABT again.
Description of Work: Purchased new washer, pedestal and freezer form ABT, had it delivered and the old washer and an old refrigerator removed.
