I feel terrible writing such a negative review but we are in disbelief about our experience here. We purchased a GE washing machine two weeks ago. Initially it could not be delivered because it was broke. Then it came the next day and water leaked all over our basement. The staff member we spoke to didn't apologize or offer any assistance beyond replacing it at their convenience. We have the replacement now which is also not working correctly. We are struggling to get this one taken out and our refund. The customer service has been abysmal. Please don't consider purchasing from here. I thought supporting a local business was the right thing to do but this has been unbelievable. read more

Hallocks prices and sales people are the best. Wonderful sales, tremendous amount of stock and kind, expert sales people

If this was a review of Kathy from the Hallock's sales department it would have five stars*****. Kathy knows a lot about appliances and offers great advice. The delivery department is quite another story. They were supposed to call me one hour prior to delivery; they did not pay attention to this. The first delivery group arrived and would not remove the old refrigerator. They said that they could not get it through the doorway. The second groups came an hour later. They were rockstars! They picked the fridge up and just carried it out! I would advise Jack Fast to end his relationship with the first group as they are putting Hallocks in a negative light. I recommend Hallock's if you ask for Kathy and DEMAND that you get the second group that I had in my home to deliver. They were by description two African American men. The first group should go to work for Hone Depot. I would like to add that the first delivery group put the new fridge together and left screws on my floor which I discovered after they left. This is a safety hazard. The delivery service is not free at Hallock's. I cannot believe that I paid extra for this aggravation. read more

I am one of the few people that loves appliance shopping. I went to all the big box stores and checked online. Hallocks really did have excellent prices on GE appliances if that is what you are in the market for. We bought our GE cafe Fridge from here, and were very happy with everything through the buying process to delivery. They don't throw their money into making the place look like a show room...if that's what you want then shopping here is not for you. Its bare bones, white walls, with tons of options including scratch and dent. Do your homework..you will most likely end up here like I did. :) read more

One of the worst experiences ever. Bought a refrigerator, the delivery guys broke the wiring harness, rendering it unusable. Sent GE out, who said we needed a new door, but it was on back order for 3 weeks. Door never came it. Continually called Hallocks - first, we had to repeat the story every time. Second, many promises to "look into it and call us back tomorrow" were not kept. Finally, 6 weeks later, we told them to come get the refrigerator (sitting in the middle of my kitchen), and to refund us. They said refund would be processed as soon as they got the refrigerator back. Refrigerator returned on Monday, as of Friday no refund... Had to call them again and give them all our information and tell them the whole story again. Supposedly they are finally processing the refund. I have never dealt with a small business where they can't even remember who you are. read more

Recently had to buy a new washer and Hallock's did a great job ... Bill spent plenty of time and answered all of my questions when I was comparing models; even though my ultimate choice was on back-order, I still got it before the estimated date thanks to a little extra effort on their part, and was thrilled. I never had that kind of customer service at Home Depot or Sears! And price? Yup, I was happy! read more

I've purchased an electric stove, refrigerator and microwave from Hallocks over the past several years. I was always very satisfied with their wonderful female salesperson, great prices, big selection, and quick delivery. I have recommended this store to all my friends and family for years. read more

These guys have it all! My fiancé and I were driving back to MA from NY when we saw the billboard for this place. We figured "Why not?" We are collecting appliances for our house we are building and we're not ashamed to save a few bucks on a floor model or scratch-and-dent with no real noticeable damage. When we walked in, the (commission) staff was friendly and helpful without the high-pressure "vulture" feel. After browsing through tons of appliances, we found just what we were looking for, at an awesome price. Needless to say, we made our purchase and loaded it up that day. We also talked to them about ordering the remaining appliances we need and they are not only able to get what we need, but well below retail - for brand new appliances! Something tells me we'll be back soon, with a truck... read more

As a followup, some very nice people named Dave and Jerome came out from Hallocks. They installed the washer and dryer. Unfortunately, the washer failed the install test, and they had me get the Electrolux repair service out. In the meantime I got a call from Jack F, the head of Hallocks, who listened patiently to my story, and gave me his contact numbers. Fortunately, Electrolux was able to reset the electronics by phone and the washer started, so now I have some beauties of a washer and dryer. Time from purchase was 7 weeks, but my faith in Hallocks is restored. read more

After 2 failed attempts at having a fridge delivered (first at Art's in North Haven and 2nd at Home Depot in North Haven), we finally contacted Hallock's. The salesperson over the phone was very polite and helpful, delivery was scheduled quickly, the price was right, the delivery people were polite and professional, and the fridge works wonderfully. I can't say enough good things about this place. Don't bother ordering from anywhere else - just go to straight to Hallock's! read more

My washer & dryer needed replacing after 20 years. I researched the best options online but still had a hard time deciding on the best brand! Front load, Top load, High Efficiency, etc. In the end I purchased a Speed Queen. I was impressed by the wonderful customer service that Jack provided when I had questions about my purchase. I will be sure to return when other appliances are needed! Karen D. read more

Hallock's has never disappointed us over the years. Always the best prices, perfect delivery with courteous delivery people, excellent customer service with knowledgeable staff, no headaches! Their extended warranties are worth every penny. Had one service call on warranty, problem was fixed immediately by a skilled factory authorized service technician. Don't use the big box stores, you might save a penny but spend it in aggravation and annoyance. read more

Very disappointed at the dishonesty of the salesman who told us that the installation fee was included in the 169.00 fee we paid for delivery,removal and installation...when we got our delivery the installer told us there was an additional 75.00 fee because the Bosch dishwasher now requires a plug instead of hardwired like our old model. this involved drilling holes in our cabinetry and new plugs installed under our sink that we aren't thrilled about. .The salesperson was very deceptive in not telling us about this (and he he really should have known). ten years ago we bought our slide-in range,dishwasher and range hood from this store spending thousands of dollars at that point..however we are very disappointed with hallocks after this experience and won't be doing any more business with this company. Honesty is very important to us and the salespeople here are no longer worthy of our trust. they also couldn't have been any less helpful in helping us arrange for the 50.00 rebate that we are entitled to but don't have the foggiest idea of how to process online. read more

If I could give a negative rating, I would! The WORST place to purchase appliances. I purchased a Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine because they gave the best price and delivery date. Delivery was to be on a Tuesday and the delivery people were late showing up. Paid for installation and they didn't even level the machine, but when we turned it on, it made a noise as if you were inside a jet engine. Called and was told that they couldn't get the service person out for a while and when I pitched a fit, they said he could come on Thursday of the same week. Guy was to come at 11 on Thursday and called at 9:30 to say his car broke and couldn't make it (nice huh, since some people do have jobs) and he could come on Friday. I had to call the store and speak with Dottie in the Service Department who just said "well, his car broke down". Apparently, they only have one service person and he doesn't even work for the store as he is an independent contractor. Had to argue with Dottie to get a second machine ordered so that I wouldn't wait yet another week. Was able to get a machine ordered and was to be delivered on Friday of the same week. Spoke with Jack, who apparently is the owner and he was more than apologetic. Told me that they would test the machine before bringing it out and that the delivery people would wait to make sure it didn't have an issue and he also doubled the warranty, making it 8 years. The delivery people came, machine was never tested as they had to unpack it from the original box and it still had all the packing materials in and around it. After the guys set it up, they started it and it made a horrific noise. The delivery guys said "oh, that doesn't sound good", laughed and left, leaving yet another bad washing machine. The deliver guys also said that if they have to come and take this machine out, we should get a different one. Had to call and argue with the store about coming out and getting the machine. They finally agreed to give back the money and take the machine. Upon coming and taking the machine, the delivery guys broke the washing machine basin which is attached to the drain at my house making it necessary for us to purchase another basin for $30 and having to get a plumber out since the basin was attached to the drain. In the end, the $700 that I paid for the washing machine from hell actually ended up costing me $850 with the additional cost of the basin and plumber. This is the worst store ever. The people are totally clueless and even the manufacturer said that they probably dropped the machines when they unloaded them. Don't get sucked into this store for the low prices as it will cost more in the end. As a follow-up to this review, almost a week after they picked up the machine and had to make yet another call to this horrible place, I was told the refund was put through and in fact, no refund has been made. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which did catch the attention of the store, but I will have to make yet another call about the refund. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth and I would stay far, far away from this place. Was told that they are notorious for doing this stuff. read more

Friendly staff, helped load fridge in my truck , great place for a used appliance , lots of bargains

I have never purchased an appliance at hallocks until Dec 2014, and I was VERY reserved about doing so...... We needed a washer and had shopped around a lot, money was a factor and I was willing to go cheap, but the sales lady showed us the Maytag Bravo XL and all its features and I googled the reviews, it met our needs and the price was GREAT. I love the machine and everything the sales woman said was true! The delivery came on time and the men were very helpful with install and questions. I will be back in the future for next appliance. read more

Hands down one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. Spent $8,000 on a fridge and paid for install and delivery. My husband and I took the day off for the install and waited and waited. Finally, we received a phone call that the truck that was delivering the fridge broke down and we would not be getting the fridge on the day we were promised. Now, I understand things happen but my husband now needs to take yet another day off and I was told that my request for delivery compensation was extravagant and they would be happy to send me a $50 check. Talk about a slap in the face. Need I mention my husband and I also own apartment buildings and have furnished it with Hallock's aplliances?! If this is how they treat GOOD customers, I would be nervous to see how they treat the average joe walking in off the street. Thanks Hallock's BUT WE WILL NOT BE BACK!! read more

My family has purchased appliances from Hallock's for generations. So it was a no brainer for my 92 year old grandmother to go to them when she needed a new washing machine in February 2015. At the time of delivery, Hallock's 3rd party delivery company did not hook up the washer to the drain. The delivery man was glib and even suggested her husband take care of it. Really? (1) if he was alive don't you think he would have been there and (2) are you suggesting a 90+ year old complete your job? Luckily my grandmother's neighbor spent less than 20min completing the setup. When Hallock's was made aware of the poor and incomplete service they acknowledged the hook up service was free but they were not concerned about the situation. Poor form Hallock's! Is this the kind of company you want to do business with when so many alternatives are available? read more

Terrible. Agree with other reviewers on Google. Save your time and $ and buy from Home Depot or somewhere else. Very sleazy feel to the whole place. Bought a refrigerator and dishwasher -- spent more than the same models at Home Depot. The refrigerator came without a box -- and had a few stratches that we didn't immediately notice. The delivery person thought we had bought a floor model when we had in fact paid for a new mode. We were told the box had been removed to check for defects before it left! read more

I recently purchased a dishwasher and stove from Halleck's and arranged for delivery. I was given a four hour window and took the day off from work. At 6pm an hour after the four hour window had elapsed I was given a call telling me that the delivery was going to be at least an hour late. The four hour window was now a minimum of six. I am a salesman and make appointments to visit customers. If I am going to be late I know well in advance. I call the customer apologize for the inconvenience long before I show up late and reschedule if necessary. My customer comes first. Halleck's does not believe in this. I had a business appointment and was not going to be available because I did not want to make my client wait. The following business day I waited for a follow up call from Halleck's. Thought that was the professional thing to do. No call from Halleck's. I called them rescheduled the delivery and was very polite on the phone. Guess what took another day off from work and Halleck's was a no show with no phone call. Again waited for a follow up call from Halleck's. The call never came. I called them again, this time not so polite. I spoke to Tom Horton, the dispatcher. He is in the wrong job. He did not know where his truck was when it was supposed to be making a delivery to me and could not tell me if a call was made to me or not. He took absolutely no responsibility for the screw up and did not care that I took two days off from work. His supervisor was no better. Five days later I am still waiting for the salesman to call me back. If this is the kind of people they hire and the incompetence shown by the staff from top to bottom why would anyone return to Halleck's? read more

I purchased a washer and dryer from Hallock's a month ago. I prefer to patronize family-owned businesses versus "big box" stores any time I have the choice to do so, and selected Hallock's based on word-of-mouth referral from three co-workers. Hallock's did not disappoint. I will offer that I am one of those finicky types who does advance research and planning, so I mostly needed help placing an order versus help shopping and deciding. I knew what I wanted when I arrived, had done my product research and checked Consumer Reports and reviews, had completed price comparisons online, and found that Hallock's had a competitive price for what I wanted. Sure, I may have paid $40 or so more (total) than if I had gone "big box" but I know for certain I received better quality service and attention at Hallock's than any experience I have had elsewhere. I visited the store on a weeknight, and was in and out in less than 20 minutes (and this was even after the salesman showed me an upgraded model choice for the same price, which I appreciated). He found a delivery window that fit my schedule, and the only hiccup that kept my review from five stars is that they were about a half hour late from the selected window, and I had to call to make sure they had not forgotten me. But they hadn't - just running late and hadn't called. Hallock's customer service team tracked them down and got me an update very quickly! When they arrived, installation was smooth and swift, so the brief delay wasn't a big deal. I'll definitely visit Hallock's again and refer them to others. read more

Overall, they were fine to deal with, but it really depends on who you get on the phone. I needed an oven/microwave unit installed on a house that I don't live in (I live out of state) and Cathy followed through and we got it done. But if I called and she wasn't available people on phone were impatient, weren't very knowledgeable, and generally wanted to get me off the phone as soon as possible. When I went to the house and saw the oven it had the sticky residue of the energy star sticker. It wasn't something that looked like it would come off easily. When I called to see if someone could take care of this I was told Goo Be Gone or WD 40 would take care of it and that is what they use to clean their appliances. Well, living out of state I will have to buy the product, drive 2 hours and basically do it myself. I just wondered why they didn't clean it off properly in the first place. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, hence not a full 5 star rating. read more

I have to say that shopping at Hallock's outlet in West Haven CT was a very pleasant experience. I recently purchased a washer and dryer here. Customer service was just wonderful. They matched our lowest prices with no problem at all. I have to give a special thank you to their delivery guys because they did an amazing job from delivering to installing and picking up old appliances and to make it even better, the whole process was FREE. I don't usually write reviews unless the experience was very bad or very good. This experience was wonderful and highly recommended. Thank you Hallock's! read more

Worst experience ever. I will never deal with Hallocks again. Bought a dryer and an oven. First the oven...it arrived with a broken knob. Had to send back. Waited a week for a new model. It arrived with an incorrect part. Had to wait several hours for correct part. Now the dryer ...salesman never told us we had to have a plumber do a connection to allow the steam function to work. When plumber arrived, the part that came with the dryer was the wrong one. Had to wait another week for another plumber. He was supposed to arrive today between 1pm - 6pm. It's now 6:15 and he's still not here. A Saturday afternoon wasted waiting for a plumber because of hallocks incompetence. I will never, never, never, ever shop at this place again. read more

I am impressed with Hallock's customer service and quick response. During the holidays my 30 year old freezer stopped working and when I called Hallocks they were at my door within 1 hour, replaced the freezer, removed the old freezer. Not to mention it was Friday late afternoon. Excellent prices plus extraordinary customer support is the reason Hallocks has been in business for over 90 years. read more

Went to Hallocks even when I had an issue last time with a fridge. Paid full price and waited for ordered fridge which I received without 2 of the plastic door shelves requiring another trip to store to take from floor model. Went back a few months later to replace our stove hoping to find a good deal, no luck ordered new one waited days waited for delivery only to received a dented one (BIG) which I refused of course. I called store and they wanted to credit me for the dent which I also turned down which of course they didn't like. At this point no offer was made to reorder the stove so my wife asked for a refund to her card which they claim would take a week. (really?) Never ever would I do anything with Hallocks again. They mess up and didn't take any actions to fix the situation other than try to off load the dented unit on me. Hear me loud and clear go somewhere else and just use them to get your best price at the big box store. There is a reason businesses fail its called customer service and Hallocks you are failing read more

Delivery and set up for my new dishwasher, $150. Rudeness, free. Oh, and they never did install it, we had to do it ourselves.

Horrible customer service. They damaged my refrigerator during delivery and wouldn't make their mistake right. I would highly recommend going anywhere else but Hallocks for your appliance needs. read more
