I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this Costco before. This Costco is "our Costco". Mainly because we've been going here for bajillions of years and lots of the employees here know us by sight, if not by name.
We have purchased so much here over so many years that you'd think they'd give us a lifetime membership or reward or recognition, or something.
We purchase a lot of food here. Indeed, this is one of our primary sources of purchasing food. We love to buy the large artichokes they normally sell in the spring, in a packet of 4. They're big and very tasty when steamed and served with butter. It's an inside joke in our family that you know it's springtime in New Mexico, when this Costco starts selling those artichokes. :)
I cannot remember the number of computers I've purchased here, but laptops and desktops. I work as a software engineer, so having a good, reliable desktop is necessary for my personal and side business.
We've purchased so many eyeglasses here. Great price and immensely helpful. It's nice to go to their eyeglass area to get your eyeglasses cleaned.
This Costco is fantastic. Over the many years they've delivered wonderful value to our family in the many purchases we've made.
However, a recent purchase we made there has been and continues to be a huge disappointment. We purchased a Samsung dishwasher, which began to give us problems within a few months of delivery. I am shocked at the inferior quality of this dishwasher. Parts of it are coming out. I've communicated with Costco, multiple times about it. They'd promise that someone would take care of it, but nothing happened at all. At the moment I think so much time has passed that it's out of warranty. I'm disappointed with both Costco and Samsung. It's probably 2 years old and already needs to be replaced. That's simply wrong. I need to warn all Costco members to NOT purchase this Samsung dishwasher!! With parts coming out of it, by just opening the door, it isn't worth whatever Costco charges for it. The attached picture is of the dishwasher with a gold-colored bar coming out. I took it while we could still shut it and use it. read more
