They are awful. I needed a dryer repair, I smelled smoke one day so I stopped using my dryer and called to get it fixed. They told me it was the dirtiest dryer they had ever seen and I had to get it cleaned. I asked where the lint is (because I clean it regularly) and they said 'everywhere'. They kept saying several places I knew that there is no lint, so I kept asking them to be specific and they would insist it was everywhere. So they were ordering a new part, said I had to have it cleaned before they came back, and recommended a guy they trusted. After they left I pulled off the front of the dryer and cleaned very thoroughly inside. It was immaculate, and I did pull out handfuls is lint from around the heating element that had started to burn. Very scary! I also checked out the vent from the wall to the roof for clogs, going onto the roof to check for anything near the exit and inspecting it in the attic. They had told me the part would come in on Wed. I called Wed afternoon and the said the part was coming that day, but they didn't have any openings until Monday. I have 7 people in my house; would have been nice for them to think of that and be ready to repair my dryer when the part was available. Not 4 days later. So they came Monday, weeks after my dryer first broke, and put in the new part. He went on about how he had saved our lives and our house would have burned down if it hadn't been for him. Sure... I'm the one who stopped using the dryer, called to have it repaired, and pulled all the lint out from the inside where the heating unit was. But if he wants to take the credit for fixing my dryer, whatever.
After he left it worked for 4 loads.
They weren't able to send someone back out until the following Wed (9 days later). In the meantime I paid someone to professionally clean the vent. They didn't mention any clogs. When the All Appliance Guy came back he said it wasn't working because of a clog in the wall. When I said I had it cleaned he said they did a 'crap job' and said it's my fault it's broken because I didn't use the guy they recommended. He said I was uncooperative and rude, because I cleaned the dryer and checked the vent myself instead of going with THEIR guy who they trust. Then he told me he disconnected part of my dryer to make sure it wouldn't turn on, because he claimed it's a fire hazard, and left my house after telling me he would not work with us anymore. And a few minutes later their office guy called to tell me all the same things. My fault it's not working because I'm rude and uncooperative. The house is going to burn down. I didn't do anything they told me to do. Well fine, I did everything they told me to, but I did it with a bad attitude. And then said they wouldn't work with me anymore.
So, if you want someone who will just come into your house and actually repair your dryer, I am afraid I can't recommend them.
But if you want someone who thinks they have the right to come into your house and sabatoge your appliances, (in the name of safety, because they don't trust the people you used to clean your vent) insulting you all the way, go ahead and call them. read more
