Once our $6,500 grill finally arrived we went in to pick it up at the main location. The secretary working the front desk was condescending and snide about how “will call” pickups are actually at their offsite warehouse 20 minutes down the road. (Which she claimed was less than 5 minutes away). After getting to the poorly labeled offsite warehouse and waiting for 30+ minutes for them to bring our grill out to load they brought it out on a pallet, set it down in front of our vehicle and stared at us waiting for us to load the incredibly heavy grill that was secured to the pallet with banding and shipping screws. After asking for assistance getting it in or to borrow scissors or a screwdriver to remove it from the pallet the forklift driver reluctantly brought out two screwdrivers and stood there offering zero assistance in removing the grill from the pallet to load. After asking for some assistance from the front office the warehouse manager came out and proceeded to get in our face and scream profanities and about how if we didn’t have better attitudes he would “keep the f***ing grill and kick us the f*** out of there”. After spending over $50,000 with this store on appliances in the last 20 years this will be the last purchase we ever make here due to the fact that every single employee we interacted with today was incredibly disrespectful and aggressive/angry.

I purchased a 5 year extended warranty (I have the receipt clearly showing the expiration date), but it turns out they submitted paperwork to the warranty provider for a 3-year warranty and pocketed the difference themselves. Thinking we're all human and this could be an error, I tried to contact BASCO multiple times and I'm getting the complete run-around. My drier is fried after 3.5 years, and BASCO's fraud scheme is now costing me around a thousand dollars. When I purchased the washer/drier, they added a charge on my credit card (not authorized by me) for a dryer duct. Given that I purchased a ductless drier, I disputed this, and I also never received the product. I was told in writing I would receive a refund, but this did of course never happen. When I first purchased the washer/drier, they the installers did not show up on the date we had agreed on, and when they eventually showed up, they were unable to install it. The products they sold me are utter crap, but I have no absolute indication that the horrible reliability is a direct cause of how BASCO handled the products prior to me receiving them. I do not understand how these crooks can stay in business.

these guys were working on my neighbor's house. they are not very considerate. I've had many appliance and furniture deliveries and the companies usually just haul the trash with them when they are done. these guys tried to throw away the cardboard and styrofoam from the applicances they installed for my neighbors in my curbside recycling bin. luckily i saw them from my window and told them not to throw it in my bin. while this is inconsiderate (and something that normally would not compel me to leave a negative review), i did not appreciate the attitude the guy gave me when i told him not to use my recycling. if i hire someone, i want them to be respectful of not only me and my property, but also my neighbors and their properties. I dont think i would get that from Basco

Steve Misemer provided detailed information on each as well as help comparing my choices with other models and the reasons for their popularity as well. In addition, the total price of the appliances at BASCO was equal to or more competitive than other stores' prices for the same models.
Description of Work: When we needed all new appliances, Consumer Reports recommendations helped me choose a pro range, wall oven, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and washer/dryer. BASCO was the only store in town that carries every single item I specifically wanted.

I purchased a $3100 gas range and hood from Basco about a month ago. Customer service was highly responsive and courteous without being pushy or obsequious. They also provided a couple of solid referrals for installation of the range and hood. Prices were at RRP (i.e. in line with their competitors). Delivery was punctual, quick, and professional. Care was taken not to damage floors and door frames, etc. The one caveat is that I was later told by my appliance installer (who they referred and frequently work with) that they should have offered to disconnect and remove my existing electric range.

Shopping at Basco was an excellent experience. I was able to purchase the range and hood I wanted at 75% of the lowest price I could find online or elsewhere. The Salesperson was excellent. They were very responsive and good at keeping in touch. The delivery guys were great, very careful and respectful of our home. I will certainly shop at Basco for further appliance purchases.

Prices were not bad...I did buy a washer and dryer, and plan to go back for the rest of my appliances....this time with an appointment.
Description of Work: I loved the showroom, it provided some nice inspiration for my renovations. The sales persons were knowledgeable and helpful. The down side is that they did not make the "rules" clear. It seems that one should have an advanced appointment in order to be attended by a sales person.

So working one-on-one with consumers may not be their strength. That being said, we have had nothing but positive experiences; a couple of highlights. Delivery is always included. Our JennAir fridge was $500 cheaper than any retailer I could find. Our washer/dryer was $200 less, and the ventahood was also about $200 less than what I saw on line. And this was without any special sales, rebates, discounts, etc. Again, they generally just quote contractor pricing so there are no games and I've always found them to have the best prices by far.
Description of Work: Over the past few years we've purchased a JennAir French door counter depth fridge, washer/dryer, ventahood and Bluestar range. Basco is the best kept appliance secret in town. They generally carry mid to extremely high end stuff and you get contractor pricing. They do not market to the general public and you have to make an appointment with a rep. to buy something, but it's not a big deal. I love that you can walk in to the showroom and poke around on some awesome appliances and no one bothers you. The reps. are generally working with contractors/developers so unless you have an appointment they leave you alone. Once you do meet with a rep. they are very well versed on the product and will look up anything they are unsure of. I will say they do not do as much "handholding" as some of the big box stores so its a good idea to know what you're looking for or at least do a little research before meeting with a rep. Remember, they're generally selling big orders.

We are having problems with our refrigerator. They told us a specific model would work in our kitchen but it did not. They did not help me find a model that did work. They ended up giving us the money back for the refrigerator.
Description of Work: We purchased multiple appliances from them.

They delivered the fridge into the kitchen, even a little early. They put my old unit in the garage for me as well. I can recommend this company highly.
Description of Work: We bought a Jenn-Air French Door, stainless steel, refrigerator, model JFC2089HES. The salesman, Thom Feller, was very informative, friendly, and follow-up on everything. Delivery was within days. The price beat the local large retailers and the big web-based sellers and service was great. Basco is a builder's supply and deals mostly with contractors and developers, but they sure treated me like a favorite customer.

Working with BASCO was a real pleasure. I did not experience the usual dread I have dealing with sales-people (at other places). Derek (salesperson) was very helpful, very friendly, and VERY knowledgeable. He answered my myriad of questions with demonstrated depth of knowledge, which was important because the success of the remodel hinged on being able to fit a 30-inch oven and wide refrigerator in a tight space. He allowed me to make several visits to check measurements on floor models; ask questions; explore options; and help me get confident that we could fit both items into that space and meet manufacturer's specs and local codes. In summary, the service was outstanding, and the prices were very reasonable. Also, the appliances showed up on time and were in good condition.
Description of Work: Sales and delivery (during summer 2005) of new kitchen appliances (Dacor double-oven; Dacor ceramic glass cook-top; Vent-A-Hood vent hood; Miele dishwasher; Jenn-Air refrigerator). I was gutting and re-building a kitchen, and working closely with my kitchen designer (who steered us to BASCO).

These guys are the best for your appliance needs. Much cheaper than standard. You get contractor prices and they have all of the high end goods. No better place to buy.
