For the past 20 years we have been faithful to Berger appliance but unfortunately this might be changing after our most recent experience purchasing a Speed Queen dryer. After this lackluster experience on 3/9/2026 we are still waiting for a call back after we were assured someone would get back to us.
We purchased our dryer which included both installation and delivery. The dryer arrived on schedule but unfortunately the installation was unsuccessful. Being this is our first electric dryer; we had our licensed electrician install a new dedicated outlet for the appliance which was completed and tested prior to the dryer delivery. The Berger installers plugged the device into the socket which they claim did not work…… and then questioned if our electrician was licensed. We have been using this electrician for over 20 years without an issue. After questioning the workmanship of our electrician Berger Appliance installers left our home without the unit in working order even though installation was included in our purchase. We have never had this level of negligence with any purchase or installation from Berger appliance. It was clear the installation had not been done with proper care or diligence we are accustomed to from this company.
What is most frustrating is appliance installation should be a straightforward service, especially from a company that presents itself as experienced in appliance sales and installation. Instead, we were left questioning our electrician who was at our house for a service call within minutes, after the Berger Installers left, to demonstrate his work was installed correctly. Thankfully Alonzo found the problem immediately, and removed the green jumper wire from the neutral & ground otherwise the GFI breaker would trip which was the cause of our issue. Our electrician has been doing work in our home for many years and he is licensed in Westchester for his exceptional workmanship.
We expected professional installation and peace of mind after making a large appliance purchase. Based on our experience, we strongly recommend Berger Appliance improve the training of their installation team. Customers deserve careful, thorough work when installing major household appliances.
Overall, this experience was frustrating and disappointing, especially when we needed to call our electrician for an emergency house call which ended up costing us almost $200. I hope your company takes steps to ensure future customers receive the professional service they expect.
