They had it tuned up and repaired less than three days after I dropped it off and the price was really reasonable. Snowblower fired right up once I got it home and I couldn't be happier.

I drove him here knowing he'd get the right bolt. He did. I just loaded up on a Halotron Fire extinguisher Halon costs a million. This stuff works as well. Vaporizes a little slower. Need to stand back fr the flames a little more than halon. But. It's still a displacement extinguisher. Hope to never use it. I'm glad to see this quality outfit seals this quality Life saving product. I dinged them one star. Why. ? While customer service is great. 98 %of their inventory is in the warehouse. And like an Auto parts store. You have to wait. Singing a long time. For your turn. It's worth it. But it's a wait. And the volume we customers provide. Does not really support more counter help. Just expect a line at lunch. Or after work.

I came in this time looking for a milk frothier to go with my espresso machine. The staff were very unhelpful and seemed mystified or even dumbfounded that it was an item in the store. When I asked about product specifics they didn't even know about it and read off the package. There are no returns from the store, so make sure you know what your getting, staff may or may not know what you are getting either! Interesting.

This is a cool store for the aspiring kitchen warrior…read more It really has everything one could ever need for cooking, and so much more. Le Creuset, blenders, juicers, toasters, espresso machines. It's everything I could ever want as an aspiring meal artiste. It is actually hard to catalogue everything. There are greeting cards, puzzles, games, candles. There are random posters, and signs hung up along the staircase up to the second floor where many more items, usually on sale, are located. Two particular enjoyments: 1. The chocolate bar selection. All sorts and types of flavors. Mint, caramel, and my favorite, potato chip. 2. The popcorn kernel selection. Every type of kernel for popping along with all sorts of ingredients to sprinkle upon the exploded kernels. The employees genuinely seem to enjoy their job. They appear friendly with each other and the customers.

The other side is fun gift tho gs and other fun stuff you must need for your kitchen. Over the years I have bought a plastic deviled egg holder, a deviled egg squirter thing, a pan rack you have from your wall, extra hooks for that rack, cast irons, various vegetable containers that look like your veggies, a cheese plate and knife, a popcorn bucket that separates all the kernels for you, lots of gift items like unique mugs, cat stuff, stickers, you name it you will find something for a gift if you look here. They are actually competitive in pricing when I google something in store Amazon has it for the same price or maybe the store is 1 or 2 bucks more. But hey no shipping charges and it feels good to shop local. Upstairs is the clearance items so dont forget to browse up there.

This place feels like I went into the tool section at Lowe's or Home Depot…read more It's not that they don't have other merchandise, it's just that they really seem to have a great selection of power tools. It's not a huge store so it's easy to maneuver around and it wasn't very busy so it was a quick in and out. The inventory seems to be pretty decent. They were out of food safe 5-gallon buckets on the shelf, but they had extras in storage and they got me one of those. The staff was helpful, but not friendly. They had no interest in small talk (or really any talk at all). I was asked if I had a rewards program or something else. I said I didn't. And that was the end of that conversation. They didn't ask if I wanted to sign up or get more information. There are a couple other stores in town. I'll probably try them out before hitting up this place again. Just to see what they're like.

AIH in Eagle River moves back up to three stars for us, as of yesterday, although at the point, I…read moredon't see them ever going any higher. From our previous poor visit, the guy who helped us never made sure our information was updated in the computer, so we had to jump through hoops again. This time, we were told it was updated while we were there (mind you, the last guy said he couldn't). I have to say, they show zero interest in their customers and what they're doing, looking for, projects or otherwise. Just crotchety guys with crap for customer service skills. I'd think guys that like tools would enjoy working in a hardware store but it seems as though that's not the case. My husband is an incredibly cordial guy, likes to give accolades and chit-chat but for the most part, they just won't have it there. I find myself saying 'let's go, they don't care.' Kind of a bummer, especially for a local company... but then again, it boils down to where else are you going to go? Our options are limited in this great state and they just don't seem like they need to try. Guess that's why Amazon is thriving...

If you're into preserving your own harvest, whether it be meat or vegetation, this is a great shop for you. Of course it's mostly geared towards the preservation of meat, but they have so much to offer! I like to just peruse and check things out. Are things cheap there, no, they're not but they're a good quality too. Might you find something cheaper online, quite possibly and most likely at times. They did offer a military discount and I never balk at that!! Keep in mind, locally owned and operated, they can't always offer amazing discounts when they had to pay for shipping and such to get it up here too. We picked up a few items to add to or replace in our preservation repertoire today and we spent just as much time chatting it up with the two kind gentlemen that worked there as we did looking around. Talking techniques and recipes is great in our book!! The only thing I wish they would do is host some classes for making sausages and such; that would be fantastic and I keep telling them that. I know I'm not the only one around here who would attend!!
