Canadian Appliance Source

We recentely replaced all the appliances in an existing kitchen, so our dimensions were very limited. The staff at Canadian Appliance Source was extremely helpful in guiding us towards the appliances that fit our kitchen and our needs. The new appliances totally transformed our kitchen and gave us a "new kitchen" look without having to redo the entire kitchen!

I needed a new stove for my cottage and time was of essence. Phoned Canadian Appliance Source and they had exactly what I wanted IN STOCK. The purchase went smoothly and I had arranged to pick up the item locally in Toronto. When I came with my vehicle, one of the staff members helped me load it which was really great. I heard about this company from a neighbor who had recently purchased their entire kitchen suite from them and they were highly recommended. I would hands down use them again if needed in the future.

My experience with Canadian Appliance Source was very positive, start to finish.

Found Canadian Appliance Source, read reviews, and then I ordered a dual drawer dishwasher and dual fuel stove by Kitchenaid.

The agent helped by showing me a different dishwasher than I originally selected, that actually matched my stove better. I simply didn't know it was there until it was pointed out. Plus, he did inform me that the 220 volt pigtail was not included in the new stove. No problem, I took the one off the old stove.

Delivery was promised within 2 weeks. Ten days later, it was delivered. They unpacked the items immediately, no issues. I had it installed the next day

My advantage over some other posters is, very helpful service agents, prompt pickup when I phoned in, a positive delivery experience, unpacking immediately…..

I am definitely doing this again.

We recently purchased a replacement double wall oven for our home. We found Canadian Appliance to be the best priced in Canada. We did some research on the company and felt confident in our decision to purchase from them. Our options were limited due to the size of our previous wall oven cutout and the sales representatives helped us narrow down our choices. We received the product and delivery went hassle free. My wife and I are very happy with our purchase and would recommend Canadian Appliance Source to anyone.

Recently purchased my entire kitchens appliances from Canadian Appliance Source and was very pleased with the experience. Customer service was outstanding. I hadn’t needed my units until my kitchen was completed, and Canadian Appliance held them for 3 months until I was ready for delivery. Delivery personnel were very accommodating and scheduled the exact time for delivery when I had elevator availability in my building. We love the new appliances that Mike helped us choose. We really appreciated that this large purchase went smoothly and uneventfully. Would recommend them to family and friends for sure.

I needed a fridge in a pinch because mine broke down. I found Canada Appliance on the internet and loved their easy to use website. They had the best prices from all the companies that I searched, including Sears. I had some questions so I called and spoke to Danny who had all the answers. I ordered the fridge on the spot and Danny told me he could deliver next week. I begged him for next day delivery because we just could not survive without a fridge. He was kind enough to rearrange his delivery schedule to accommodate us. This is the second time that I've bought from CA and I wouldn't consider any other company for my appliances. BTW, I visit their website monthly because they always have some fantastic blowout deals to take advantage of.

***UPDATE***
I made a complaint about this company on Homestars before, back in October 2010 regarding our awful experience with this company. I must say that judging by some of the reviews on this site, they must have their store manager writing rave reviews, not actually dealing with customer service issues.

In response to their response to my Homestars review- "Our store only offers Basic Washer & Dryer installation. This situation required a certified plumber which we do not provide."

A) It WAS a basic washer & dryer installation, the dryer just needed to be configured to vent out the side of the unit- when I called Maytag about this, they told me that the supplier (distributor) did this, not the manufacturer, or the consumer. I made it very CLEAR with the salesman that this had to be done and his response was- "yes, we can do that."
B) Regarding the "certified plumber" comment. The issue with this poor installation had nothing to do with plumbing. That is aside from the fact that your goon delivery men took a part of the drain pipe with them when they left our home, therefore not connecting the plumbing drain properly AND causing me to have to go to Home Depot to pick up the same part that came with the unit. I'm pretty sure my plumber friends would laugh if they were called to a job to connect a drain pipe and two supply hoses...

To further caution fellow Homestars users, I'd like to provide full disclosure on how Canadian Appliance Source dealt with my Better Business Bureau complaint.

I should also add that CAS didn't even respond to the BBB, here is a quote out of my case (this is BBB writing- not mine!)-

11/22/2010 No Response received from Business on 2nd Notice Dec 15/10 - company advised they will reply shortly. fd

Dec 13/10 - called 416-782-5900 and was put on hold for 10 mins. Have sent email to naiomi@ and sales@canadianappliancesource.ca. fd

I've made my complaint clear here on Homestars, here is their BBB suggested resolution to the same complaint (once they finally responded to the BBB)-

01/06/2011 Receive Business Response We are sorry to hear about your story. We have no way of knowing if parts were taken. We deliver all parts. Out of good faith we will give you $50.
Thank you

HERE IS MY RESPONSE-
01/07/2011 Consumer Satisfied- with Letter (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
We accept the act of good faith in response to our poor customer service experience with Canadian Appliance Source.

HOWEVER- AFTER THREE WEEKS- NO REFUND WAS ISSUED, SO-

01/25/2011 Received Consumer Rebuttal We have yet to receive our $50 from Canadian Appliance Source. As far as I'm concerned, this case should be reopened.

RESPONSE FROM CAS-
01/26/2011 Received Business' Rebuttal Response We will refund you the 59 for delivery.

MY RESPONSE-
01/27/2011 Consumer rejects business' final offer (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
We accepted your offer of $50 on 01/07/2011. After almost three weeks we have yet to receive this "offer of good faith." Until we receive the money, I am unwilling to consider our case resolved. Once the money has been received, I will gladly close the case.

RESPONSE FROM CAS-
01/28/2011 Received Business' Rebuttal Response We removed the appliances for free. 5 business days is an estimated time, as stated on the web site. We still had a two man team come to your house and drop the unit off so a $59 charge is in order. We can not take responsibility for damages incured in the home as stated on the invoice.

MY RESPONSE-
01/31/2011 Consumer rejects business' final offer (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
So you're renegging the offer of a refund now, hillarious. The customer service provided by this company is appalling and I strongly caution anyone considering doing business. I do not except this response from the business and thus, my BBB complaint stands.

Needless to say, sounds like Homestars user Peter in Toronto and I should be sharing awful customer service tales of CAS over beer! ;-)

***ORIGINAL HOMESTARS POSTING***

Due to their reasonable price, my wife and I ordered a washer/dryer unit from this company. The salesman assured me that the unit would be delivered within 5 business days. Before purchasing it, I confirmed that the unit would be installed a certain way. We were unsatisfied with this company in the following ways:
- the unit was delivered 4 days late.
- the unit was not installed properly (not as agreed with the salesman) and was actually installed against the manufacturers specifications- unit not leveled, drain form part missing, etc. the "installers" were clearly delivery men and, therefore, not qualified to install appliances (let alone a light bulb).
- the installers damaged our home (see image of scratched floor).
- the installers took parts of the old washer with them that were needed to install the new one and ALSO took parts of the new washer necessary for installation. (due to this I had to purchase additional parts at Home Depot)
- when we asked to speak to the manager, we were told "he's not in until tomorrow" for 4 straight days. we asked to speak with the owner and were told "he refuses to deal with customer service". when we finally did speak with the manager, he failed to adequately address our customer service/satisfaction complaints.

I'm probably forgetting something.... Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend Canadian Appliance Source to anyone. The $100 you might save on an appliance is NOT worth the headaches and awful customer service experience.

I had a lovely experience dealing with this company. Exceptional customer service, and the best prices in Canada. I dealt with some great fellows there. The dryer and washer that I ordered works like a charm.

I would recommend them to anybody.

Buyer Beware! This company has the worst customer service and are so unprofessional.
First, we order a dishwasher that the customer service rep tells us that will be shipped to their warehouse in 5-7 days. Ofcourse we waited and waited, and had to phone them to find out that the dishwasher was on back order and wouldn't be available for 3 months.
Then, we get another model and I wait for delivery, and they don't show up. After getting verification from two of their staff members. They call me and twist it - saying the employee should have told me that it was a tentative delivery time. Why would I take off work for a tentative delivery time?!?
Doesn't really make any sense, neither does the company, and they do little to accomadate you after you made the purchase. Unprofesional service.
