Delivery of machine went well until it was time to plug in. Contractors took a look at the electrical plug and said that they could not finish installation. Apparently the Bosch washing machine is designed to plug into a Bosch dryer. I do not have a Bosch dryer. I now have to hire an electrician to finish the installation. I am disappointed on 2 counts. First, the salesman told me that the washer was 120 volts (it is 240 volts). Secondly, he never told me that it comes with an European 3-prong plug.

We called B&S on 1/11 when the freezer stopped working. Their service man can only come on Wednesdays, so every time they screwed up, it would take another week. The first time someone came he said we needed a compressor and he would have to order one. Then the next guy came and said we didn't need a compressor, and then he did something to fix it, only it wasn't fixed. So he came back a week later and said we needed a compressor. They ordered it. Then another week went by. On 2/11 he came out and installed the compressor which fixed the problem. That was a month after we first called.
I went with B&S because they had the best price on this. Good sale but bad service.

I visited many appliance stores and received pushy sales pitches, information that I did not want, rudeness, and overall poor service.  None of the sales people listened to what I wanted but tried to push their different appliances on me even though they knew I was prepared to purchase four large appliances from them.  A friend recommended Bray and Scarff to me.  When I visited the Rockville store, I met a salesperson named Geary.  He was terrific from the start -- he listened attentively, remembered what I said, showed me appliances that met the criteria I laid out, explained how they worked to me, and cheerfully, professionally, patiently and attentively answered all my questions.  He worked with me throughout the process, handled all the paperwork for me including multiple forms for rebates, kept me informed on the telephone of delivery dates, installation information, etc.  He was just a sensational salesperson and a gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher were all installed efficiently and professionally by the Bray and Scarff staff.  I will certainly go back to Bray and Scarff and to Geary for additional appliances.

It took 3-4 weeks and multiple calls because of the sales person, though the installation was fine.  They also forgot to register the washer for the warranty!

The purchase included an induction cooktop that required recutting of our granite countertops.  Every detail and diagram we needed to insure proper cutting and installation was provided.  I will definitely purchase from this store again.  We love our new appliances thanks to all the time spent with us to purchase the models that suited our needs perfectly.

They were able to recommend a company to install a kitchen floor for us. It was a positive experience.

Poorly. The salesman was inept, scheduling an incorrect date for pre-measuring, calling the wrong telephone number, not providing necessary information for the measurements, shipping the wrong wall oven. The actual installers were very good.

I have hadn't had trouble with any of the appliances I have purchased from their store. They were able to assist me in purchasing the appliances that were going to fit through the narrow doorways of my house. They were very helpful.

My initial reaction was that they were cordial and seemed professional. They told me to come on a certain day to order my gas top and I would be given a discount. I had searched the internet prior to attending and had the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the appliance I wanted to buy. The model on the floor was priced at $1699. They offered me a $100 discount. I complained that the MSRP was $1499. They made a show of checking this out and ultimately said there was some mistake. They eventually sold it to me for $1399. To do my kitchen layout, they required a non-refundable deposit of $175. I paid this and soon after ran into a stubborn salesperson that did not want to do the layout as I requested. Subsequently, I went to another retailer and got the kitchen I wanted, the way I wanted, for less money than Bray and Scarff had quoted. I took the cook top I purchased from them and plan to have the other company install it.

We were renovating an entire house; first we purchased the new stove at bray (no real reason, same price as everywhere else)- we then picked kraftmaid cabinets that are exclusive to certain dealers, and bray could get them, so we bought them there. We did not have a contractor at that time, so we got an estimate from bray to do the kitchen remodel. BIG MISTAKE. 1. Basically ran up the bill with unnecessary electrical work, damaged floors, walls, etc, drilled HOLES THROUGH CABINETS IN WRONG PLACES (WTF?????) in numerous places during the install, then left without finishing, 4 MONTHS LATER AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT UNFINISHED WORK THEY SENT SOMEONE OUT TO COMPLETE LITTLE THINGS. They do not, as they claim, have experienced remodeling staff, all their work is subbed out to whomever they can get to do it the cheapest, so bray pockets a large sum as the ''general contractor'' without really touching any of it. WOULD NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN AT ALL. Avoid like the plague.

I called the company about the damage their men did to my ceramic floor & having to pay someone else to finish their job, & was told it would be taken care of. 10 phone calls & 2 trips to the store I finally got my reimbursement on Feb 16, 2006- 3 months after my first call. I would never deal with this company again, I felt like I was just blown off & they would return what they owed me when they were ready. Everyone needs a job but they need to make sure their people know how to at least turn off the electricity & how to talk to others. Leaving a stove in the middle of the floor & leaving a job is not an acceptable way of doing business!!
