I was advised not to buy from Quinn Appliance but I did not listen. Yes, they have a nice selection of appliances however I ran into difficulties immediately with the delivery. They charge $85 per appliance for delivery and installation. Unfortunately the service team does not know how to hook up dryers and a new $1200 Speed Queen washer started failing with the first wash. Four service guys and 2 visits later and the dryer still was not properly connected to the vent and the drywall was broken where they tried to force the dryer duct tube into the vent wall outlet. Fortunately Google is a good source of information and I correctly installed the duct tube. My husband bought the necessary materials to repair and paint the wall they damaged.
Next the washer - With the first wash it tripped the GFCI. I contacted the store and was advised that this is a "known issue" which they have dealt with before and they would order a kit which would take about 2 weeks to get meanwhile I could buy an extension cord and connect it to another outlet that does not have a GFCI. Why didn't they have the kit on hand? Afterall I did pay for installation. For 2 weeks I had to deal with an extension cord running from the laundry room to the living room while trying to paint and remove flooring in the house I just bought. Ok, so Quinn installed the GFCI kit after a lot of checking of the instruction booklet and conversation about how to do it. Then about a week later the washer started having errors, lights flashing, beeping, and the only way to make it work was to unplug it for about 30 seconds 3 or 4 times throughout the wash cycle. Based on the service teams lack of knowledge of the washer I contacted Speed Queen directly. They recommended their service technicians handle the issue but to call Quinn if I was not satisfied with the washer. The technician came out, advised the Lower Board and User Interface need replaced which would be in 7-14 days, possibly longer. I contacted Quinn regarding these issues and the owner apologized for his service people not being knowledgeable. I requested a refund of the delivery and installation fees and he offered $30 and "a good deal on a future purchase". Now several parts of this conversation bothered me. First, their delivery and installation fees are higher than most companies. I knowingly accepted that when I ordered the washer and dryer but I was not aware I would have so many issues, do the installation myself and have to repair the wall which they damaged. Second, I never trust anyone who promises "a good deal on a future purchase". I just spent $2000 with Quinn and all the owner offers is a lousy $30!? As I advised the owner I will never buy from Quinn again. I just bought this house, and as I told the salesperson JB, I am starting from scratch. I still have to buy a stove, or induction range and wall oven, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. Probably another $4000+ but not at Quinn. I am looking for recommendations on where to buy these if anyone could help out. read more
