Great knowledge and service on Kitchen appliances

I had an amazing experience at this store thanks to Tatyana! She truly knows her products inside and out. I was looking for a specific item and had a lot of questions, and Tatyana patiently answered everything with such expertise. She provided great recommendations based on my needs and made the whole shopping experience so much easier. It’s rare to come across someone with such a deep understanding of the products they sell. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend Tatyana for her excellent service and product knowledge. Purchased GE Kitchen appliances . The assembly of the appliances was extremely professional, thanks to Brian and Shane. They also took the time to assist me with a detailed product demonstration after installation which is well appreciated.

My wife and I were very pleased with…

My wife and I were very pleased with our 11/25/2024 appliance delivery. We bought all four items - stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher - from our salesperson Eric Benjamin. All pieces came in good condition. I was nervous about the installation because our old appliances were 24 years old and thus so were the water valves for the dishwasher and icemaker. The installation went smoothly. My wife and I were both pleased. The ~100 mile roundtrip from our house to ABT Glenview was an investment in time, but it was well worth it. Working with Eric Benjamin and the two delivery/installation workers was a 100% positive experience. Thanks ABT! p.s. The only backordered item was the oven Air Fry Basket (GE JXAFTRAY1VSS). We are hoping that arrives soon.

Do not buy the service plan from ABT!!

Do not buy the service plan from ABT!!! Complete waste of money because when you call to have something repaired they cannot help you for 30 days. You’ll have to hire a private repairman anyway!

Strange Policies and a Frustrating Experience

I attempted to place an order on Abt today, Black Friday, after successfully making purchases from multiple other websites without any issues. My first order was rejected because they don’t allow shipping to a last-mile delivery service (Fetch) address. Surprisingly, this was the first time I encountered such a restriction. They asked me to wire the payment if I wanted the order shipped to that address—quite an interesting policy! My second attempt, using a different address, also failed. This time, the reason given was "security reason that I can't tell you." Their approach seemed odd, and customer service was unhelpful in resolving the matter.

We apologize for the inconvenience our security measures may have caused. When Abt's web order verification department processed the order it did not meet the automated security checks. We were in communication with the customer on friday and informed him during processing the order did not meet the automated security checks. We suggested using an alternate method of payment. We're sorry for any misunderstanding or confusion this may have caused.

The live Chat rep.

The live Chat rep., Josh Leff was fantastic! So, polite, professional and extremely helpful. Also, Carmen was extremely efficient, and helpful in getting a small credit issued to my credit card. The entire experience was wonderful. And, I received my complete order within 2 days.

Awesome place to buy from including awesome customer service, sales and installation.

The Whirlpool WRS325SDZSS side by side refrigerator was installed on Friday, 11.22.2024, by Abt Electronics. The installation service was awesome. Both Brian Oeun and Santino Bianchi are amazing as I have a crawlspace and this is where the existing water line to the existing ice maker is located at. Brian made sure that I was up to date in having the proper components for a successful ice maker installation. Brian and Santino make sure that I understood what was done, and asked repeatedly if I have any questions and went over how to operate the refrigerator from changing temperature, how to care for the cooper water line behind the refrigerator, what product to use to clean the stainless steel doors, how to flush out the water dispenser, in cleaning the condenser coils. They was careful in removing the existing refrigerator and bringing in the new refrigerator thru the multiple door openings. Delivery was on time. My concerns has been noted in the delivery ticket of the refrigerator door seal bulging out and asking for a replacement refrigerator door. Installer Brian Oeun took photos of the problem of the refrigerator door of the seal bulging inside as well as Santino have seen the bulging seal.

The sale person are amazing especially the internet sale. I had questions of replacing my existing Kenmore Elite side by side refrigerator and Michael Lopez was amazing to corresponding back and forth via e-mail with specs, model number of refrigerator that is similar to Kenmore Elite. Michael have referred me to an in house sale person when I visit Abt but the sale person was not available at 9:00a.m and start at 10:00a.m. so I was referred to Doris Bogdanescu. Doris was awesome in showing the different models that fit my criteria and of the existing Kenmore Elite refrigerator.

I have heard fabulous things of Abt and it was highly recommended to go to Abt Electronics from several of my coworkers. My boss have mentioned he wish he had purchased his refrigerator from Abt Electronics instead of Lowes. It was highly recommend as Abt Electronics does crawl spaces as part of the ice maker installation charge unlike Home Depot who does not do crawl spaces and I would have to hire a separate plumber. This will be the place to buy future appliances. You will not be disappointed with the services from sale people to installation and calling customer services.

Shopping with Abt was great

Shopping with Abt was great. It was easy to find the product I was looking for & there was detailed information about the item, as I'd hoped. I bought this as a Christmas gift, so I don't yet know how it works, but I've certainly been impressed by the ratings. I'm looking forward to seeing this in action.

Not easy peasy.

Not an easy spot to insert oven/microwave. Even more difficult to insert new one. Lots of measuring and careful work. They were amazing.

Very smooth process

Very smooth process. Shippers communicated well, and came when promised. Second major appliance from Abt. Was not an issue for me, as this refrigerator was going IN the garage, but if you do not order enhanced delivery , what you get a big box in your garage.

A good outcome

I recently purchased 2 dehumidifiers from ABT using their online website. The online literature describing the dehumidifiers stated (in two places) that drainage hoses were included. When the product arrived, there were no hoses. I called customer service and was told hoses were, in fact, not included; directly contradicting their online literature. The customer service agent instead offered to sell me hoses at a discounted price. I found this insulting. After posting a not so favorable review on Trustpilot concerning this matter, I received a call from ABT and spoke with an individual who not only apologized for their website’s misstatement but readily agreed to provide the hoses in question at no additional cost to me. Having had a career in a service industry, I know mistakes happen. But often times it’s how the mistakes are addressed and made right that makes the difference. In this case ABT made things right and I am happy to acknowledge their efforts.

Abt going bad to worst they will sell…

Abt going bad to worst they will sell you warranty for the half the price of washing machine and Kitchen appliances and when it will come to do the service they will make you run for the money after weeks waiting for someone to visit for new one year old dryer which is stopped working they changed my service call timing on the day of service call last minute and customer service person are like doing me favor sending service team to fix faulty dryer when I called them.
They become big and now need to look for other service providers my 11 years old relationship ended after bad customer service.

Don’t buy there warranty it’s like scam from abt.

AJ - We're sorry to hear about the problems with your washer. Our extended warranties are not half the price of the unit. If a product is a year or less- the warranty given by the manufacturer covers any costs associated with a repair. We do our best to take care of our customers. We'd like to address your concerns but don't have enough information to locate your customer history. Please respond with your contact information or if you want to reach our Service Manager Tony directly, please call 847-544-2336.

Deceiving sales

Deceiving sales, sent me an Customer Appreciation email ends on 10/27 . One item was a Samsung tv 55" for 318 but I chose the bigger one 60" 367.00 and extended warranty. But every time with this company I add items to cart and extra money added to cart. A shipping charge of 172.50. Say what? I don't know of any store who charges that nowadays. Needless to say that explains why I don't use their card anymore. I never completed the transaction. It's ridiculous.
