About us

When Bill Vandegrift left the family's original location on South Main St in Doylestown, he was told that customers would never travel the 2 miles outside of town to shop. After all, Vandegrift's had been on South Main Street since 1936. As everyone has come to find, Bill Vandegrift, Inc. is still going strong over 46 years later. Bill and Ginny began the business together in the New Britain location in 1962. In the early 1970's, their son, Bill, joined the business while still in high school. The company philosophy was based on being the most customer oriented appliance dealer possible. While Ginny worked in the office, Bill Jr would handle the installations, and Bill Sr would take all the service calls. Even as the business grew and employees were added, the standards never changed. Each customer could be assured that they would receive the personalized attention they had come to expect. Now with the fourth generation of family in the business, Bill Vandegrift, Inc. maintains the same personal business approach Bill and Ginny began. Over 5 expansions and unprecedented growth, the business model remains the same. Customers will receive personal attention when in the showroom, professional installation on delivery, and the best in-home service techs in the area. On display in the expanded showroom, you will find most major brands, including Wolf, SubZero, Dacor, Kitchenaid, GE Profile, Bosch, TurboChef, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and more. Bill Vandegrift invites you to come and see what you have been missing as a consumer. Our family will be here to serve you.

What a wonderful experience with BV! We could be happier with the service we received from Dave! The best in the business. We purchased a speed queen washer and dryer and love them so far. They are life changing for our family. This is our second time using BV and have been blown away each time!

We love Vandegrift’s for our appliances! We have had our dishwasher, microwave, and washer and dryer installed and each experience was seamless. They also took away our old appliances and left things clean and neat. Each person we have dealt with has been helpful and knowledgeable.

This dishwasher was our second purchase with BW (other was a W/D earlier in 2023). The salesman, Dave, was straightforward and listened to our needs before making a couple of recommendations. Installation was professional, technician arrived on time and made sure everything functioned properly. We would purchase again here - prices are competitive to big box stores and supporting a small business is a plus.

Our first dishwasher that was delivered, had to be returned because of the height of the flooring prohibiting installation. A second dishwasher, which was an ADA model fit. It was a difficult removal and installation, but everything worked out.

The owner Lindsay told me she would call her attorney if we left a bad review. Her intimation did not work. This was our third and FINAL purchase. We bought a dishwasher and paid BV to install it. The installer partly installed it, but he did not have all the parts, and he told us he would be back in a few days...he never came back or called until we had the machine removed from our home. The dishwasher would not dry, and they stopped working altogether. BV was no help, and we did call the manufacturer and were able to get a refund only because the manufacturer stepped in . BV still charged us for an install they never completed and refused to refund it, and the dishwasher was removed for being a lemon. It was about $290. I even offered to split it and was told NO...total rip-off for charging us for something that was NEVER completed We try to buy mom & pop but this kind of purchase you are better at big box stores. Thank you, Lowes, for saving the day Thanks to the manufacturer for stepping in when BV ignored us PS, always use a credit card here. We made the mistake of using a check.

We were cheated. what we got was the owner trying to sell us a used floor model at full price and when we had them install our downdraft and the installer took many trips and many days to complete what should have taken him a day. we complained and then didn't hear back. No bill was sent and then months later they are trying to take us to court for an inflated cost on install and extra for the papers served.

I have purchased new appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator) and had old appliances (washer, dryer, refrigerator) repaired by Bill Vandergrift on several occasions over the last 5 or so years. Whether it's Daryl, the salesman, the installers, the servicemen, orthe schedulers, everyone there has been professional, courteous, responsive, and honest, and the prices reasonable. I am stunned, quite frankly, by the negative reviews because I have never had anything but a positive experience here. This morning I explained that I was desperate, that my washing machine had broken down while I was having a lot of other things going on (car trouble, for example) and someone was here to fix the washer within the hour. It's a very old Maytag Washer and, a couple of belts (and one removed child sock later), it's back to working much better than before.

Everyone that I dealt with was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are a smaller company not a box store or giant chain. So you receive personal attention and excellent service. I have also used their service department for a repair issue, had a very good experience. Quick response and service call and issue was resolved.

When I call the office and leave messages for Bill Vandergrifts she actaully answers the E-mails that I sent to him. To date I haven't spoke to him at all. The appliances are Fridgerdaire and I didn't get the extended warranty on them so the company won't even talk to me. They are only about 2 years old now. The first call was made while under warranty and it wasn't fixed. I am so tired of this and am thinking of calling another vendor to repair before they break even more. Please if you can offer any help with this I would appreicatie it.
thanks

Response from Bill Vandegrift Inc
"[member name removed], Thank you for expressing your frustrations and concerns. We are still willing to help you out with these issues. Since your first email , when you came in to visit, to when our installer came out to look at your microwave , our main goal was to complete the work and to satisfy you. Since day one I was trying to work with frigidaire to resolve the issue and possibly get you a new refrigerator. As soon as they stated that they would not help you because its outside the one year, we gave you a few suggestions that would work. At that point I sent our tech out to silicone the crack. The reasoning behind that was so the crack would not get any larger and cause you any further issues down the road. The only other way to resolve the issue was that we were willing to give you a discount on a new unit. As for the range, I went thru frigidaire to see if they were willing to help with this issues as well. Again they said since it is outside the warranty their hands were tied. We were willing to give you a discount on the parts and labor, but you refused the service on the range. Finally, our installer went out to look at the microwave, we met your neighbor at your house. As per your email you stated that the installer was very professional and explained how he thought something was dropped on the door. We are very sorry that you are frustrated with what has happened with your appliances but we are still willing to help you out. Please feel free to let us know how we can help you Bill Vandegrift Inc..."

We chose Bill Vandergrift because we wanted good service for all of our new appliances. We had 2 major problems with the appliances they sold us and they could not fix either one. In our opinion you should purely shop for price when buying appliances. Because the service you get from a premium distributor like Bill Vandergrift is no better the home warehouses.

They were polite on the phone, told me the rates for just coming to look at it and evaluate the problem. They were able to send someone when I could meet them after my work. He was prompt, professional and knew his stuff. He got it up and running temporarily until the control board could be received and replaced. The price was very high for the whole job but I think the part cost a lot.

Darryl was exceptionally helpful, getting us the serial numbers of the appliances ahead of time so that we could satisfy the criteria for a rebate. He didn't bat an eyelash when we discovered at the last minute that the wrong DW was delivered and actually moved into our kitchen. The correct model was delivered within days.
