Metro Appliances & More

Earlier this week our freezer went out. Fortunately, we have a deep freeze as back up, but then the next day our fridge went out which expedited how quickly we needed to replace things. People on Facebook tossed out some recommendations on where to go. Because of my schedule, I needed somewhere open past 7 p.m. and Metro Appliances & More was the answer.

Truth be told, unless you count Lowe’s or Best Buy, I’ve never been to a big appliance store in town. My only memory of one was a small family-owned used store on east 13th street back in the day called Jot-Em Down which has since closed.

Metro Appliance’s showroom floor was massive.

People told me the place was big, but I didn’t realize how big until I stepped foot inside.

They had everything, dishwashers, fridges, washers, dryers, ovens, you name it.

Wanted to see a whole set up or examples of kitchens, they had multiple displays.

This could be a very dangerous place if we ever decide to remodel our kitchen.

They had so many fridges to choose from. My one rule going in was to avoid Samsung and LG.

Metro Appliance had multiple people on the floor to help, and I liked that they weren’t pushy. My biggest pet peeve in buying anything are pushy sales people. I’ll literally walk out of a place even if it means spending a few hundred dollars elsewhere. I just can’t do it and don’t have the patience for it.

Fortunately, the sales associate who I was talking to, Matt, was extremely helpful and approached everything the best way. He wasn’t salesy and answered all the questions I had without making me feel like I was a dumbass.

By the end of the evening, I walked away getting a Cafe. The selling point to me was the fact you could dispense hot water. Best of all, this was a return in fantastic condition, so I was able to save a lot of money from a new model. The sales guy told me that Cafe’s that are returned go by probably the quickest, and I was lucky to come in at the right time.

By all accounts, the fridge comes highly rated. I’m sure anything is better than the piece of junk currently sitting in my kitchen.

Delivery, installation, and hauling of my crap LG fridge was $100 and that was a no-brainer to me.

Everyone who recommended them to me, thanks! And shout out once again to Matthew for helping me nail down this purchase.
