The mark of a quality seller is how they handle things when theres a problem. We purchased a Jenn-air slide-in range from Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World. When it arrived the installer immediately realized that the dimensions would make it protrude in a way to block access to kitchen drawers. I called Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World and they could not have been nicer about accepting a return with no expense to me even though Im sure they must have had to absorb the cost of the installer coming out to my property. This is a first-class operation. Great products, great variety, super service before and after sales AND they come through when things go wrong. Id recommend them to anyone shopping for an appliance.
Terri was awesome. The ongoing shortages of appliances has been miserable. Distinctive Kitchens was not only able to get me a better price for our new slide in range. But they were able to check the delivery pipeline and provide hard details on when to expect the range. The time moved around a LOT but Terri was glad to keep tabs on it for us. The range actually arrived earlier than expected - in time for installation in our kitchen remodel.I called Terri back when it was time to make a decision on range hoods, and she made some great recommendations.You are also going to get a better price on extended warranties through Distinctive Kitchens - we purchased one for our Range.
Teri is kind, patient but most of all very knowledgeable on products lines.Responsive to my every question. With supply chain issues of today she was always on point with keeping us updated and staying on schedule.
I just want to pause to thank Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance for saving the day by delivering a dreamy professional-grade range in time for the completion of our full kitchen renovation. We had been jerked around by Wayfair and Appliance Connection - our dream oven delivery date kept getting pushed back and pushed back. Distinctive Kitchen helped us find the right fit for our family and delivered within a few weeks - not months - and we absolutely love the oven. Excellent customer service. Dont go with the big box Internet sites - trust these folks with your appliance purchases!
Our dishwasher had died & my 93 & 90 yr old parents were in a dither! Did online shopping, looking at the big box stores & Distinctive Kitchen. Big boxes couldnt deliver for 3 to 4 wks! I chatted with Terri about different GE models they had in stock & she was very, very helpful! The big plus was the dishwasher could be installed in 2 days! The whole process was so easy AND I was dealing with a local business! Thank you so much, Terri & Steve! Highly recommend Distinctive Kitchen & Appliance World!
Wanted to thank Teri for fabulous customer service. They had what we wanted, despite significant stock shortages, arranged pickup and time. They provided assistance loading and the entire process from the first phone call was seamless. Would definitely recommend them and will be shopping there again, should the need arise.
Terri was fantastic. She was great helping us make decisions before we ordered. She provided regular updates on where things were while we waited for appliances to come in. And when something arrived slightly damaged, she arranged a rush shipment of a replacement. I couldnt ask for better, nicer, more attentive service.
Had a great experience with distinctive kitchen. Our dishwasher pump died and we were having trouble finding a new dishwasher. We wanted to replace our builder grade Maytag with a Miele but had a lot of trouble finding one as appliance are hard to come by right now. Ashley was super helpful both over the phone in letting us know which models they had in stock before we came out there and then in person showing us the features. Install was super fast (less than a week). The installer (who manages the showroom) showed us how the new washer worked and made sure we were all set and ready to go... all questions answered... before he left. Overall, highly recommend. I will definitely look back to them the next time we need an appliance (although I hope that wont be soon b/c I dont want another appliance dying anytime in the near future).
We stopped into distinctive Kitchen to look at a range after being overwhelmed with just looking online and not a lot of help at big box stores. Ashley was extremely helpful and friendly. She walked through each of the ranges and described their features without being pushy about buying anything. We had a good understanding when we left. Within an hour after we left she sent us quotes for the ones we were considering as well as any manufacturer promotions. We were able yi take care of ordering via phone. Our order came in a month early and delivery was seamless. We’ve looked at the range and it is beautiful! We have not had it installed as we are waiting on redoing our kitchen. We would definitely go back if we need anything other appliances.
I wanted to share our positive experience with Terri and Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance. We could not be happier with our Dacor microwave along with the customer service we received. Terri was quick to respond to my request and actually had this item in stock! I went to Ferguson first and waited for a representative to meet with me, after a half hour being ignored I decided to leave. I am so glad we decided on Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance and appreciate Terri’s professionalism.
5 stars! Best people. Best products. Best service. BEST!
This was my second appliance (stove,refrigerator) purchase in 3 months. Service was excellent, went out of their way to deliver fridge earlier since the old one completely died. Sales was great, knew products and what was available in warehouse. This is the place to go if you need an appliance soon.
Terri was absolutely wonderful to work with. I told her what I wanted, she made it happen quickly, easily, and affordably. I will recommend them to anyone!
Terri Beardslee was extremely heplful in replacing out viking appliance and ordered a replacement immediately. 3 weeks later i was in need of another appliance, so i again turned to Terri this time for a jennair dishwasher which was in stock and thanks to Stephen was installed in a week. *****
We are very happy repeat customers! We originally bought our kitchen appliances from Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World over 20 years ago and returned when renovating in 2021. Terri was very knowledgeable, honest and professional when helping us select a JennAir package. She was forthcoming with expected delivery/installation updates that are a bit challenging for everyone during a pandemic. We are so thrilled with Terri at Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World and our beautiful JennAir appliances! I have and will continue to recommend!
My purchase was handled in a professional manner from beginning to installation.
Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World helped me with all my questions and got my new dishwasher installed with no trouble at all. The service is excellent. I would definitely come back again and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new appliance.
Good buying experience. Every thing handled on phone. Sales person was very knowledgeable and returned with details information quickly. Happy with the purchase.
Sometimes you only really find out what a company, and the people that work there, are like when theres an issue, and its often not positive. However, I can state unequivocally that the excellent service you get initially from Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World extends to the resolution of any issues. Through no fault of theirs, there was a problem with my order and they went above and beyond to rectify it. Terri was fantastic to work with throughout the process. Well definitely be back.
We ordered a washer and dryer and had a fantastic experience. Having purchased from other larger retail stores in the past, this experience was so much better!
I could not be more pleased with the selection, install and the guidance Terri gave me during my dishwasher search. I am now a very happy Miele owner!
Great service. Professional. Proactive. A pleasure to do business with.
My entire experience with Distinctive was fantastic. Terri, George and Jordan all great, clearly committed to ensuring their customers receive great service. I could not recommend them more highly!!
Terri was super helpful, promptly answered all our questions regarding a new dishwasher. She put us on the install schedule at short notice. Stephen did a great job installing the machine. Great experience overall with the store, highly recommend them.
Best appliances...just got my new Dacor microwave, which originally not in stock, however, as soon as they came in Terri called (super lady) and within days it was installed. Thank you for your great service !
Terri was incredibly helpful at every step of the buying and installation of our new appliances. She was resourceful as well, recommending other contractors to aid in completing the work needed in our kitchen. She made the overall process very easy. A shout out to the installation group, Pro Appliance, who worked hand in hand with Distinctive Kitchen. Thank you all!
I came to Appliance World in search of a refrigerator and dishwasher after learning of an indefinite delay at another vendor. They were very helpful in recommending options, and my appliances were delivered the next week as promised! The delivery and installation went very smoothly and the installer was very professional and knowledgeable about the appliances and installation. Highly recommend!
Wonderful people to work with! Extremely helpful and conscientious. I love all of my Miele appliances and they are one of the few places in Raleigh who carry them.
Terri was fantastic to work with. She is very knowledgeable, patient and professional. I’d highly recommend.
Terri Beardslee was so helpful on-line, arranged for its delivery and the team who installed was so friendly and efficient. Great experience. (Soooo much better than 2 tries with Home Depot who I was working with before.)
We needed a refrigerator right away and the business was very helpful. The installers were very careful and did a great job. They had just what we needed.
Terri, at Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World, was amazing to work with. She helped me locate and purchase an appliance that I was in a pinch getting from another retailer. Stephen, who delivered our appliance, was just as accommodating and professional. I will continue my relationship with Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World in the future.
Our 6 year old KitchenAid Refrigerator died - well, a part was bad but there was no eta on when the part would be available. We tried another store first, but they told us that there were no similar style fridges available (you know, Coronavirus).Well, we tried Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World because we had a great experience buying our Speed Queen washer/dryer from them. The were friendly and told us they had just procured some GE fridges, so we were good to go. My only comment - they didnt wear masksThe showroom people didnt wear a mask. The installation crew were very friendly, capable and DID wear masks
Terri was very helpful! We got a great washer dryer and will be back for all of our appliance needs!
We had our old range hood replaced with a new Zephyr stainless steel hood. Terri was very helpful in the store and Stephen Wolfe did a great job with the removal and installation of the new hood. We were extremely pleased with our experience.
Return customer here. I enthusiastically recommend the Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance Team. The carefully selected offerings, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and super capable service/install folks consistently exceed my expectations.
I would highly recommend Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World. From showroom visit to purchase to delivery to installation, we could not have been treated any better. They did what they said, when promised beyond our expectations. Fantastic job by their entire team!
My husband & I bought all of our kitchen appliances from Distinctive Kitchen & Appliance World 12 years ago and had a great experience. Recently, we learned that our house is going to be converted from LP gas to Natural Gas, and we started our investigation on whether or not each of our gas appliances could be converted. We stopped in the showroom the other day and Liam was extremely helpful. Since our appliances were older, there was minimal published information about conversion, so he did some digging and got back to us very promptly with the answer. We highly recommend them.
Terri was terrific and informative, and we are very pleased with our appliances!
Terri is knowledgeable, professional, and conscientious. She’s also fun to work with. Highly recommend Distinctive Kitchens and Appliances.
Eddie and his staff at Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I had a few questions regarding the specific model of Miele washer and ventless dryer that would work best for my downtown condo, and they provided all the answers in a straightforward way that made it easy to determine the best combo for my needs. The entire purchase, delivery and set-up was completely seamless and painless!
Our stove top went out recently and so we had to sprint to the appliance store. Luckily we chose this one. It was impressive how much these guys knew about stove tops. They broke down everything we needed to know and had many gorgeous models in there (jenn-air downdraft cooktop if youre curious, would recommend). Installers were efficient and unobtrusive. I plan to do a remodel with them before long.
I went in looking for information about the Viking range and Miele steam oven they carried. I may as well have not spoken at all. They had no interest in showing me either the Miele nor the Viking and kept pushing another line no matter how many times I said no thank you. The Viking wasn’t even hooked up, so it couldn’t be tested. They also spent a good chunk of time bad mouthing Wolf and several other appliance places in town. Unpleasant experience all around.
Great communication, great service.
