Albee's delivered a brand new refrigerator with an evenly dented handle. I am vision impaired. They are the worst. Run!! Do not. buy anything from these people. I also purchased a drawer dishwasher which also nicely scratches my wall when I open it. read more

Please be aware from this store. I bought washer and dryer from them and when they installed the dryer on top of the washer water began to leak from the washer. I came in 6-7 times to get them help and always got the same answers the service guys will come but never came. Then my warranty was expired because of waiting and was hoping them to come for 6-7 months wait. I'm done no more business from this store and leaned from my mistake so you need to. read more

Albee's appliances and manager Sabino have been a nightmare to deal with. I was suppose to receive a refrigerator last week, in fairness, it did arrive a couple days late because of the fires, but when the delivery guy arrived, they only assigned one person who stated that he couldn't do the job alone. Then I had to wait TWO more days and a finally ONE delivery driver arrived and installed the new fridge. The fridge did not work. I heard back from the manufacturer in a timely manner, but in order to go ahead with an exchange, they had to contact the retailer (Albee's) which took a day and a half to do. When they finally contacted them, I was told by Sabino I had to wait another day for a delivery. I mentioned to Sabino that I've been without a fridge effectively for almost two weeks, and he said nothing could be done. One star. NOT GOOD read more

There is a reason this place has gotten such shitty reviews: They absolutely suck!!! Flat out lying to my face re: delivery of a refrigerator. I thought I would "buy local" and help a business out. I gave them one last chance. If it is not here by 10 am tomorrow , I will stop payment and they will never see a dime. Plus I will spend every waking moment ragging on this tacky little appliance sham and spread the word. Get your shit together!!!!! Zero stars. UPDATE AS OF MARCH 3 the fridge never showed, we were not kept up to date re: delivery. we were misled and lied to over and over again. they said it could be delivered tomorrow then maybe today then blah blah. Oh, have I mentioned they gave numerous guarantees...there are some shenanigans going on with this "business" and it stinks of an illegitimate con. I think I will contact the BBB and put these mother F**kers on notice. Do yourself a favor and stay far far away from this sleazy operation read more

According to BBB.org "This business is NOT BBB Accredited." Albee's' website boasts an A+ rating. This is false! They sold me two expensive AC units. Both failed. The last one within the warranty but Albee's will not help me. Skip This Place! read more

Sold me a floor model at a reasonable price (assuming I would have had to pay shipping and wait another week, elsewhere). Promised matching handles and connector kit. Delivery person was incredibly proud of his dolly, which I assured him would still chip our stairs without putting down a rubber matt or carpet. It chipped our stairs. It's been 2 months and still no sign of the matching handles. I visited the store after 3 days to try to retrieve something and got half a pillar connector kit. Obviously, the floor model was a return. Also, it had more than 4 dings which I could not see at the store. read more

We ordered a stove from Albee's and unfortunately had to cancel our order after a series of terrible experiences. After placing the order, we paid for a delivery and installation fee but when the delivery person called, he said he wouldn't deliver unless we paid him another $200. After the fact, they agreed to deliver with no fee but then our delivery was canceled/postponed on three separate occasions. At that point, it felt like we were being scammed. When I finally went into the store to cancel the order, the employee I spoke with tried to refuse giving me a refund receipt. Overall I felt Albees was extremely unprofessional, and I would strongly recommend shopping elsewhere. read more

Albee's has been around for many years and has a great selection of major appliances and accessories. It is not a big box store but has access to all of the products that those stores have at fair prices. Good, knowledgable customer service. read more

The absolute worst. Bought a refrigerator - Cosmo brand - stopped working in a few days. Tried to return it.. It's been two weeks and they're not helping at all. Rude staff, especially Sabino. I do not recommend this place. Avoid at all cost. read more

I'm so glad that I found this business online and didn't check their reviews before I called them. Had I seen their star rating, I probably would have looked elsewhere. It's a funny thing about reviews, you really need to read them to see what the issues are and you shouldn't hold the retailer responsible for issues that are out of their control. Home Depot has a 48 hour return policy on refrigerators for damages and defects. How can anyone expect a small business owner to have a better return policy than a big box store? Anyway, my experience with Albee's has been great and I intend to use them in the future too. I needed a new ac unit for a tenant who's unit went out during a heat wave. I found Albee's online and spoke with Frank. I gave him the dimensions of my wall opening, the btu rating and voltage I needed. He said he had a unit in stock that would work, told me the price and also provided a very reasonable price to install the new unit and dispose of the old one. We didn't know if my existing wall sleeve would work, so Frank explained there would be an additional cost if they had to replace the sleeve. I gave him my credit card number and scheduled delivery and installation for the next day. As I was on call for jury duty, I asked if he could call my tenant when his driver was on his way. I realized later that I called right at their closing time, but Frank never made me feel rushed. He answered all of my questions and was very polite and professional. The tenant called me after the installation and was so happy to have ac again. She said everything went great and the installers were nice and professional. They didn't have to replace the sleeve, so I lucked out there. Frank emailed me the receipt and has earned a repeat customer. read more

Albees is the worst retail experience I have ever had. First, they sold us a refrigerator that did not fit, despite our telling them our dimensions. When I went to return it, I was charged a restocking fee despite the error by their salesperson. Each time they were supposed to come for installation, they either sent someone who needed to learn how to install the refrigerator or lied about what day they were coming. My wife and I were forced to set aside several days waiting for an appliance that did not come. We had to pack our food on ice daily to keep it from spoiling. We were manipulated and made to feel like fools. A refrigerator is not a minor expense. I felt like once they made the sale, they abandoned us. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

This was my first purchase from Albee's and I have to say they not only provided the best pricing, but were also able to give me same day delivery and install. Sabino was tremendously helpful. I told him what I was looking for and he gave me intelligent options. And Omar was professional, courteous, and quick with the install. Brought all the necessary tools and even had a blanket to protect the other appliances. All in all, a great experience. Thank you! read more

Unbelievably smooth and perfect purchase, delivery, and installation. I needed a new washer. The repair person recommended Speed Queen. I called around for prices and to ask what was included. I called Albee's, spoke with a salesperson named Frank, and he gave me the best price, told me that it was in stock, and it could be delivered immediately. One phone call, great price, and no surprises. Wow. Delivery was superb. They called me shortly before arrival to confirm their on-time delivery, they were cautious in navigating to the laundry room, they were knowledgeable, and they got me going with the new washer immediately. I highly recommend this business. read more

While pleasant enough, Sabino is a nightmare to work with. He failed to send quotes, failed to have the dishwasher delivered at the agreed upon time/day and generally demonstrated poor follow through. I was planning to buy a higher end Bosch dishwasher but will do business elsewhere. read more

I called near store closing hours on a Thursday. Frank was so knowledgeable and helpful. Purchased dryer over the phone and was scheduled for next day delivery from 11-2. Delivery/install guys showed up next day promptly at 11, and by 11:20 my tenant had his brand new dryer working and ready to go. Everything went super smooth and I couldn't be more pleased. read more

Store manager Sabino Avila mislead me and could not own up to planned next day delivery for an urgently needed refrigerator on a Friday before weekend to my elderly mother's home in LA. Claimed he had no drivers available after waiting hours for a return call. Said he only may be able to deliver Sunday. The Albees' store is just 1 mile from the house. I pleaded for a small mini-unit in the interim which after another long hold wait said he'd accommodate as a loaner for which I would need to pay the same $99 to deliver...... just 1 mile away! Would not budge on their $99 delivery fee. Makes me wonder, if he had this delivery guy, why couldn't they just deliver the original fridge ordered? No answer to that. Cancelled the order and buying from more reliable source. read more

I always purchase my major appliances at Albee's because I trust them to guide me to a quality product that works best for our home. Today I spoke with Mark and he spent time with me explaining refrigerators. I've dealt with these guys for years and they are consistently awesome! Their delivery in quick and professional! read more

Needed a refrigerator in a rush. Went to the neighborhood appliance store. Saw a refrigerator that was a fitting replacement, and asked about the delivery time. And I heard what I was hoping for, two hours. Sold! A couple hours later the refrigerator was being wheeled in. Anyway, it's working fine, and I can't be happier. Thank You, Albee's. read more

CHEATS FRAUDS SWINDLERS LIARS. NOT trustworthy. SLIME. EVERYTHING THEY SELL YOU is DAMAGED/REFURBISHED - everything in the store "fell off a truck" or came to them by sone shady business deal. Solomon (the owner), knows and has done wholesale business with my family for decades (faucets), and sold me a refurbished refrigerator "as new." If he can't do right by me, you can be certain he will swindle you. You are paying 2x what you should be here because EVERYTHING is damaged/refurbished, sold as new. The few positive reviews here (out of over 100 negative!!) are no doubt their own family and fake reviews. read more

First off I just looked at their other reviews and they are really horrible. So I am really surprised that I had such a good experience. In fact, it was so good I stopped my workday to write this review. I ordered an in-wall AC unit that was a special size. The original date of installation was two days earlier. The delivery guy showed up and said that the wall sleeve was not done properly and he would need to replace it and would reschedule and come back with proper wall sleeve. Well, he called me and rescheduled for today. It was a 3-hour job and it created an epic mess as they had to cut into the wall to fix the improper way the old unit was installed. These guys worked hard, communicated better than expected, and were very professional plus they did not leave any mess what so over. Really good. Again I am surprised at the other bad reviews. It is unexplainable. Hopefully, their management will spend some time and use more employees like the one who did my installation. read more

Albee's - Perfect. - Appliances Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

This was my second purchase from Albee's and all I can say is that not only they provided the best pricing , but also the fastest , on time delivery and courteous and professional instalation But it is the after sale service that is very impressive . The Dryer I purchased had a problem . GE Waranty was covering the visit - the GE technician told me that new parts were necessary and a takes about 3 weeks to get it done . I contacted Albee's and they immediately resolved the situation and within 24 hours I had a working Dryer which made my wife very happy. I have never experienced such prompt and efficient response from any dealer. In future the only place I will trust and purchase Applience's is Albee's Thank you David and your Team read more

If you are so unfortunate to use this company I hope for you use anyone other than Sabino. I have met some unprofessional people in my day, but this guy takes the cake. Where are the owners of this company? Why do they not monitor their employees. Every day I hear 'working on it'. Wtf??? Where are my appliances? Also based on a review below, are these scratch and dent appliances? I certainly hope not. read more

Albees is our go to for all appliance needs! Sabino gives great customer service and they really know their stuff. read more

I had a really awful experience this year trying to buy a portable AC (the LG that is out of stock everywhere). I really got the runaround. After realizing the online store was never going to ship me the AC I ordered, I started calling places in LA. After calling several places, Albee's told me they had one. So I rushed over there and sure enough, they had one. So I bought it, and the sales guy helped me load it into my car, and that was that. I could have avoided months of uncertainty and discomfort if I had simply called Albee's first. I'll definitely try to buy more appliances from here in the future if I have the opportunity. Quick, painless, and to the point. read more

Hesitant at first to call with such a low rating. However needing a fridge as mine died. Best Buy was at least a week for delivery. Called and spoke to Frank. He found a suitable replacement in stock and sent photos of the store model. I decided to purchase and he informed me my delivery would be the next day between 10-2. At 12:30, Joe the installer called to get my address and within 10 minutes delivered my new Fridge. They did the entire job from start to finish flawlessly. Frank is helpful on the phone. Recommend speaking with him read more

Wow, Albee's really came through to help me out on very short notice. I was able to purchase and have a new dishwasher delivered and installed within 24 hours. How can this is not be a 5 star rating. The gentlemen who installed were quick, thorough and took all safety precautions. I will never try big corporations again for my appliance needs after this great experience. Their pricing was more affordable, this included the hookup kit and even taking our broken dishwasher. Already recommended their service to a family member. Keep the mom and pop shops afloat! read more

I would give a negative five star or No stars if I could. Service is terrible. It feels like they do not want to do business at all. They promise you the appliances and delivery appointments and never come trough. I purchase appliances very often for the apartment buildings that I manage; and I truly wanted this store to be my "to go" place but I rather wait for Hone Depot and Lowe's ETA's than these guys. It is truly a nightmare trying to get the appliances delivered; and then on top of that; they forgot the gas connector for a stove! And one of the fridges didn't work properly and spoiled the tenants' food/groceries. Please consider other stores before calling these guys. Safe yourself from a major headache. read more

The absolute worst appliance store I've ever dealt with in my life. They don't stand but their product. Bought a defective refrigerator that the compressor failed in one week. Wouldn't take back and replace the fridge after their own repair person said it was defective. Said to call Frigidaire direct. Horrible service!!! read more

Albee's use to be my go to store for purchasing appliances for my apartment units. I recently purchased a vent hood which was delivered the next day. When I received the product the screen on the hood was damaged. (See photo). I was promised that a replacement screen would be delivered the next day. It never came. I also discovered the I could have purchased the product on Amazon for 60% less than what they charged. They advertise that they will beat any price, but that does not hold true. That will be my last purchase from that company. read more

Albee's - Appliances Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm a landlord who now lives in the SF Bay area. I purchased a fridge from Costco and the delivery team came and refused to get the unit through the doors of my property claiming it was not possible. So I called Albee's because I needed a new fridge in my LA apartment and they're local and why not support the local business who can scout out the doorway and make sure this works, right? I In theory this is the ideal situation. It took a month and a half of calling, my partner calling, my tenants calling....nothing happened. Finally I went to the store and personally harrased Sabino (wearing a mask and furious)...I happened to be in LA because I wasn't confident things were going to go smoothly, no surprise why. It took another 3 weeks after THAT to get the same damn fridge that I bought from Costco delivered - no issues with delivery - and yet Sabino wanted to upcharge me a $400 including delivery. What a load of horseshit! Scheduling the delivery was a circus, he called me on a Sunday saying that his guys were able to deliver and had the fridge, could they deliver it now....after scheduling and cancelling multiple times. I told him to get his shit sorted out, discount the unit and split the delivery cost with me and we'd call it done. I also told him to get an organization system in place - he was taking notes into a lined notebook page after page daily without any organization to it. No wonder it's a total shitshow. I'm not sure if I'd recommend them again honestly. They were susbstantially MORE work than the Costco nightmare. UGH! read more

We bought a freezer there 2 days ago and it's not working. There was some stain on the bottom when we cleaned it before using - they may have sold us a used appliance without telling us. No one is answering the phone provable due to the holiday weekend and after trying manufacturer's website found there no way to get it repaired or even file the ticket until next week. We Will loose a lot of valuable food which is very stressful at this time. Of course a freezer that is NOT WORKING is the biggest issue but while I'm reviewing I will note that the delivery was not great either. After tipping the The delivery guy as he dropped it off dropped it off he he said could not take the box back or do anything to help set up. read more

I should have read all of the numerous negative reviews on Albee's before contacting. The installer failed to follow the simple instruction to wait OUTSIDE of the gate; and instead, trespassed on the property. He had a smirk on his face throughout. He told me twice that there would be a lot of dust. In response, I asked if he had a tarp to cover my white furniture; and, if he could wash his hands in the sink with clean paper towels and soap provided. He refused both simple requests. His hands were layered with filth. HE WALKED OFF THE JOB, and badmouthed me that I am "picky in MY home" to all other installers not to complete the job order. I waited weeks and now have to start all over again. read more

Best appliance store in Southern Ca- Los Angeles area. Im a 30 year customer and they go above and beyond to meet your needs. Albert & Frank are the guys to ask for. Excellent customer service and they're appliances are top notch and prices are very affordable. They beat any other prices around. Thank you once again for providing 5star service. read more

Albee's sold us a machine that does not work , they attempted to fix it but it did not work , they promised to replace it today is March 14 the purchase was in December . Please save yourself and DONT go through what I went through . I WOULD GIVE A ZERO MINUS . STAY AWAY . read more

purchased a fridge. Waited for ever to get delivered. Wrong fridge was delivered. Took many calls to get a redelivery date. 2xs they didnt show. Itook 2 days off work and I called 3xs to confirm the second delivery... it never came n now they are saying maybe next week? Another day off work? i dont think so. I have disputed the purchase. Thank god for credit cards. NOW they can pick it up at my convenience. Like sunday at 2am lol. I am a fair person but I will not be messed around time after time. Funny but I purchase washer there 30 years ago and ended up in small claims court which I won. Think I would learn a lesson? a crooked bunch if ever there were read more

I AM 100% DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF THIS COMPANY! I bought a fridge less than 4 months old and it broke. At their suggestion, I waited 2 weeks for a repairman and when they finally got me one, the guy had to reschedule because of "traffic". They finally came today to say, "yep, it doesnt work but we need to report this and it will take another few days to see what is going to happen." I still have no fridge. It is the holidays. These people could care less that they gave me a busted fridge that does not work properly. All my food spoiled. The reps at this company are the worst. It is NOT worth dealing with these people. They sell items and appliances that don't work. This place is a BIG SCAM. read more

Frank at Albee's appliances is fantastic. I needed all new appliances, I did some research ahead of time and went to some of the big box retailers like Pacific Coast / Best Buy / Home Depot and Lowes to see what the different features were like, but at the end of the day, the customer service and fair pricing I got at Albee's from Frank made all the difference. He ordered me a LG washer, dryer and top of the line Thor oven, all of which have been great appliances thus far. 4 months later my dishwasher went out and I immediately called Frank. He brought in 2 great options in the store that met my needs, I picked one, and within 30 min, it was at my house being installed. Yes, the store itself is a bit outdated, but for me personally, customer service, quality products and fair pricing is most important. Thank you Frank! read more

I have read all the one star comments but actually had a very good experience. I needed a dryer and called Albee's and spoke to a guy called Sabino. He assured me he would source me an LG one and install it the very next day, which he did. I for sure can't comment on why people have issues with Albee's but no other company could source and install in such little time and I would for sure use them again. read more

My old fridge from the 90's was irreparable, so my management company said Albee's would be calling to set up an appointment to deliver a new one. A man named Joel called and said he could be here in 25 minutes, and indeed he was! He and his coworker removed the old Kenmore and gave me time to clean up what got lost under and behind it, then installed my brand spanking new Avanti! So grateful for these guys!!! read more
