I am very happy with the appliances I purchased, however I'm not happy with the process it took to get it installed and it cost me almost three times the actual cost of the purchase.
The Samsung Hood vent was $269.10, the Cooktop was $453.33 for a total of $722.43. My total balance was $1954.88 a diffrence of $1232.45. This included $380.00 for the install of the Cooktop and Hood. $35.00 for a 6' gas line install, and $200 for wood to support the cooktop which was smaller than the one replaced.
$92.00 for haul away of old cooktop and hood. BUT THE KICKER is the cost of the stainless steel filler ring $500.00. more than the cost of the Cooktop.
#1 there's no way in HELL the wood cost $200.00 (price gouging)
and it was only 4 small strips of wood used to support the cooktop, #2 the filler ring hides where the open space is from the old cooktop again ( price gouging). the filler ring should have been much cheaper than $500.The entire process took 2 weeks to complete and to date the filler ring has not been installed yet.
I would like to purchase 2 other appliances from ABW but I've become very leary as to the cost and process to have it installed.
I understand the cost of things have rised substantially, and even tarrif cost may have been included but not for merchandise that have already been shipped here.
I let my salesperson know that I was very unhappy with the total cost and process used to get these appliances purchase and installed.
