We had a great experience this week with a purchase of a new washing machine. We wanted a heavy…read moreduty unit and had heard good things about - and pre-selected the SpeedQueen brand. Our product specialist Keyshon Taylor did a great job of comparing what we thought we wanted with other models and other similar popular brands. We feel this will outlast any other unit we may have purchased somewhere else. We picked the Speed Queen TR7 because of the features - and selected the Howard's folks to do the delivery & installation. It was in stock and set up for the NEXT DAY. Really? Fantastic. The install team was there exactly when they said they'd be there. In fact they were early - and it was raining! They hustled the old unit out, waited while we cleaned up the dust bunnies, and then got the unit set up, tested, balanced and running in a flash. We can't say enough about the help we got all around. Thanks, Howard's team! You've earned a new loyal customer.

This is the 3rd time I came back to Howards to purchase appliances because of Diane Dao. This time…read moreshe helped us purchase the whole home's luxury appliances package. She was articulated with providing all the needed specs for all of Miele appliances to make sure that it would fit with our kitchen design and layout. Diane was very knowledgeable about Miele and made this whole stressful situation enjoyable and lovely. She went above and beyond to make sure that our appliances arrive on time and scheduled delivery times that fit well with our construction timeline. She followed through with every single delivery and provided us completed serial numbers to register our warranty. It was truly amazing to have Diane Dao as our sale rep because she was attentive, passionate, and patient with every customers and every purchase from small to big. She took care of us and our purchase until the very last day. I will always come back to Diane Dao if I need to purchase anymore appliances in the future!

Its FUK U FRI!!!!! I…read morespecial ordered a washing machine 6 weeks ago. It didn't arrive so I physically went to the store to find out the status. The guy I spoke to said special orders were taking 8-12 weeks, so be patient. I went online on 12/5/25 to see if Howards was still locally based. What I found out is that S5, a Newport Beach based private equity firm bought Howards in April, 2025. I also found in the OC Register that Howards laid off its employees on 12/4/25, and closed operations: WTF?!?!?!?!?! I immediately disputed the charge with my credit card company. I am not going to pay for something I did not receive. Its not the consumer's fault the private equity firm appears to not have done its homework, and now has to close a local business founded in 1946 down.

I found an set on sale at Best Buy, but the holiday deal wasn't great and the wait time was over a month! I looked all over town & online and decided to try Howard's, too. They had one of the sets I was looking for at an amazing price with the holiday sale & rebates. I really should have come here first! David A. and Carlos were very helpful on my 2 visits before buying and were very knowledgeable about all the brands and features. That's very helpful when trying to pick the right brand. While Howards sells high volume, the delivery time was much shorter time frame than expected for this popular LG set. When the items were delivered, the workers were extremely careful with installation and both the new set was in mint condition. I'm thrilled with the new LG set and the deal I got at Howard's and appreciate the excellent customer service David A., Carlos and the two delivery men provided. 5 Stars!

Everything went extremely well! I'm a returning customer and very happy with Tim's customer…read moreservice, knowledge, and technical skills. I initially called on AT Appliance in 2020 to service my refrigerator motor. When my refrigerator was leaking water this time (6 years later) I found my previous receipt of service and called AT Appliance again. They were very responsive and scheduled me for next day service. Tim called me before his arrival and was able to repair the leak and also returned today to replace the water dispenser part that I requested. Looking at my previous receipt from 2020 it turned out Tim was the same technician that helped me back in 2020. I was pleased to realize this and also to experience the same quality work that was done back then. Tim really went above and beyond to deliver reliable quality service. His work is honest with transparency, clean and organized. I appreciate reading reviews of other customer's true experiences and wanted to make sure to write this review to share with others that are looking for a creditable appliance service. I highly recommend Tim's service.

This is the second time we've used their services and will continue to do so, as alas these older but more reliable machines of ours are starting to show their age.

We were surprised when our nearly new refrigerator abruptly failed! We watched several YouTube videos on point and found the right refrigerator for us. Then we Googled info at Costco, Home Depot, Sam's Club, Lowe's , and Best Buy. Every one of those sellers was problematic. Refrigerator price, installation price, delivery schedule, delivery price, and removal fee were all at issue with one or more of all of the sellers! Then the stars aligned, and we found Western Appliance Warehouse. Factotum, Keimora,puts a lovely face and caring way on the Company and the owner, Eric, is totally knowledgeable and understanding. Together they are a team you will have on YOUR side--working to solve your issues. There is NO sales pressure. They worked to provide the refrigerator we wanted even though the did not normally stock either that Brand or Model. They resolved all of our problems presented by the big box stores! As a matter of facr, we we so pleased with their refrigerator solutions, we simultaneously purchased a new dish washer to replace ours which was functional but ineffective. I doubt we will ever shop for any appliance anywhere else! Sincerely, Kenneth Cassell

I called Appliance Repair Professionals about a code my washer has been showing. Yury prioritized me, the customer, before his opportunity to make some money. He very clearly explained what was going on with my washer and advised me over the phone to replace it instead of paying to have him come out and diagnose it first. He even advised me on which brands and types of washer to replace it with. All without making a dime from me. This isn't the first time we've used this team. They also did a great job of repairing our refrigerator last winter and they did a great, honest, & quick job then too during the busy holiday season. This is a trustworthy, hardworking business that cares about its customer base. Everything you want to get when choosing small business owners with your money. Don't hesitate to call them for your repair needs!

I have a trusted knife sharpener, but wanted to give Chef's Toys Knife Sharpening services a try…read morebecause it's close to my work. Bad decision on my part. When I got back my "sharpened" knives, one of them had nicks and burrs. I don't know if you can see in the photos. The bottom part of the blade feels chewed up and rough. I had two other knives sharpened and they're not as sharp as when I've had them done with people who know what they're doing. I will only go back to see ask if they can fix the one with the nicks. After that, never again. I'm actually scared to have them touch my knife again, but it's want them to be aware of the lack of quality. If you care about your knives, call ALL SHARPENED UP (Orange County) or GARY'S KNIVES (South Bay and West Side) instead.

Working with Doug Schonfeld at Chef Toys has been an exceptional experience from start to finish…read more Doug is a wealth of information when it comes to EVERYTHING that belongs in a kitchen. He has a way of explaining things that makes even complex decisions feel straightforward and manageable. What I appreciate most about Doug is how genuinely helpful he is. No matter the question or challenge, he takes the time to understand what's needed and always comes back with thoughtful, practical solutions. He's a natural problem solver who anticipates issues before they arise, which makes a huge difference. Doug is also incredibly responsive. Whether it's a quick question or a more detailed request, he consistently replies promptly and thoroughly, keeping everything moving smoothly. Above all, Doug is honest and trustworthy. His recommendations are always grounded in what's best for the situation, not just making a sale. That level of integrity is rare and makes him someone you can confidently rely on. Doug is the reason we love Chef Toys and continue to choose them every time here at Orange Coast College. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication make all the difference. I highly recommend Doug at Chef Toys to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely supportive partner in kitchen equipment.

I've had multiple bad experiences at this Lowe's, but an incident from about two weeks ago finally…read morepushed me to leave a review. A few months ago, there was an employee working self-checkout who seemed completely opposed to the concept of self-checkout. Instead of letting customers scan and pay for their own items, he insisted on doing it himself, argued with customers for no apparent reason, and turned what should have been a two-minute transaction into a frustrating ordeal. Then came the recent trip to the garden center. The only employee around was the cashier. We asked where the flower bulbs were, and her response was essentially, "I'm just a cashier, I don't know." Now, I don't expect every employee to know the exact location of every product in the store, but if you're working in the garden center, flower bulbs are about as basic as it gets. At the very least, I expected an attempt to help. Instead, we got a shrug. It somehow got worse at checkout. We asked whether some bulbs that had already started sprouting qualified for a discount. Rather than checking with a supervisor, calling someone from the department, or making any effort whatsoever to find an answer, she basically said she wanted no part of the conversation and left it at that. She then proceeded to miscount multiple items, turning a simple checkout into an unnecessarily long process. The best part came at the end, when she asked what flower bulbs even were and whether they're basically plants you buy instead of a full plant. After spending the entire interaction working in the garden center, it was honestly surreal. I shop at Lowe's often, which is why this is so disappointing. I don't expect employees to be walking encyclopedias, but I do expect basic competence, basic customer service, and at least a minimal effort to help customers. Unfortunately, those standards seem to be optional at this location.
