I was sorely tempted to give MHA a 2-star rating, but I decided not to, mainly based on the…read morepleasant interactions we had with our salesperson, who was nice, and did a good job of following up on our order.
BUT, (there's always a but, lol), our recent experience will undoubtedly be our last.
We did a complete kitchen remodel a few years ago, got all our appliances from Mountain High, double ovens and a 36-in. gas cooktop. There were issues with that install, but it went more or less OK. The gas cooktop electronics failed about two years into it's life.
We had to fight with the extended warranty people to get them to cover it, but after much screaming and gnashing of teeth, the motherboard was replaced. It promptly failed again about a year later.
So don't buy Monogram gas stove tops, the electronics are junk.
We decided to go back to MHA, settled on a Cafe induction cooktop, and, some time later, were scheduled for installation and haul-away of the old cooktop. We contracted with an electrician, (recommended by our saleslady) to run a 220v line into our house for the cooktop.
$1400 for that.
$3,825.41 for the cooktop, which included an extended warranty, taxes and a $175 charge for installation, which said, right there in black and white, that that was for a one-time visit, and additional trips would incur an extra charge. More on that in a bit.
Finally, installation day came, and guess what? The opening in our granite countertop was EVER SO SLIGHTLY too small. The guys in their installation crew didn't have tools or expertise to widen the opening, and we were told that they DO have people who could do the work, but it would cost SIX-HUNDRED EXTRA.
Also, their guys flipped the breakers off on our A/C, and we had no A/C for two days until we figured that out, lol.
As noted, we already have a few $$ invested in this. We found a local stone company, Stone Concepts, who came in and did the job for $300.
Then we found out that we'd have to pay an additional trip charge of $225 to have their guys come back out, (that was adjusted to $175),
which, to be fair, was stated right on our invoice. And I hate to throw the install guys under the bus, but they didn't get here till half an hour AFTER our 2-hr. delivery window. They did get the cooktop installed in about 20 minutes, and no breakers were flipped this time, lol.
We feel that Mountain High could have done us a solid, and ate the additional trip charge as a gesture of goodwill and customer solidarity.
I know times are tough, but I'm not feeling a lot of love from a company we've done well over $10,000 worth of business with.
