Howards TV & Appliance

We spent thousands on appliances here a few years ago and now with an issue, we were told to come in and we’d get a great price on a new one. Howard’s shouldn’t sell garbage to their customers in the first place. Do not but Frididaire or Electrolux, complete pain in the rear.

SALEEM WILL BEAT ANY COMPETITORS PRICE!
I highly recommend anybody looking for the best price for home appliances to go to Howard’s. I received some of the best customer service and was informed about all specifics of my washer & dryer
On top of the cheapest prices, I also received an $ 85 rebate!
Be sure to look for Saleem; he fulfilled all that I was looking for

Just found out yesterday (11÷24÷15) we were having guests for Thanksgiving.
Ooops, our old stove was dead! Needed a gas range ASAP!
None of the big box stores could order before Thanksgiving, but Howard’s came through.
Plus since I was out of town I needed to order over the phone and buy it sight unseen. My sales rep Ron (not sure of the last name) helped me with the order. Had wanted a mid-​priced Samsung, but it wasn’t in stock so got a very well rated Frigidaire Gallery gas range.
Ron did a great job making sure the order went through and making sure that it would be delivered today, ¹¹⁄₂₅.
As promised the range was delivered today and installed on time. My wife sent me pictures and it looks great. I am sure we’ll be happy.
Howard’s and Ron did a great job and «saved» my Thanksgiving!

My husband and I have been searching high and low for a stove and fridge and stumbled upon this place. This store had many selection in the stove and fridge department. What we’re most grateful for is the knowledge and helpfulness of our sales associate Tyler. He wasn’t at all pushy or trying to get us to buy the highest end model. Instead he understood our budget and was very honest and informative. Thank you Tyler for helping us make this process easier for us!

Started off with a good experience with this company until nothing went right after the delivery. The equipment I choose was not the right fit for my house and it did not help that it was installed incorrectly which made me dislike it even more. Bottom line an exchange was authorized but I was charged a restocking fee that I though was unfair. Salesman was real nice the day I made my purchase and everything was fine but when the problems occurred he become uninterested, never even called to apologize for my problems. This store left me feeling some kind of way!!!

For 10 years I have had nothing but fantastic service from Howard’s. We have an income property and they have furnished almost every refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. This review is long overdue. One of my tenants had a fridge that suddenly died. This was a fridge that I did not buy from Howard’s — was in the building when I bought it. So I knew it had to be replaced. I was out of the state. I called Howard’s spoke to a guy named Brian he searched around for a unit in stock that I liked and he got a new fridge in the apartment the next day. Superb service and prices. THANK YOU, BRIAN!

Purchased a Maytag washer at 4:00 on Wednesday. At 9:30 am on Thursday. The salesman and the installers were top notch. Highly recommend!

Everything was more than perfect with buying my Sony TV from Howards in Torrance. I called to ask some questions and got such thorough answers that I bought my tv over the phone and arranged delivery for the next day I worked with Brian. The price was amazing and the home delivery and set up well worth the fee. The arrangements, paperwork and delivery went so smoothly that I will be buying from Howards again!

It was phenomenal working with sales associate Brian Grinnell as he was very thorough & professional at meeting my needs on a quality dryer. Long story short, I went over to Best Buy & they sold me a dryer that was gas without asking me if I had a gas hookup. My condo is all electric.
Howard’s associate Brian G. was extremely patient with me in answering all of my many questions. He is a gift to Howard’s & is clearly a major asset to this store being high caliber one. Washers & dryers are nothing without quality associates that present you with all the facts, features & benefits that coincide with them. Thank you Brian for making my purchase decision a comfortable & clear one!

So I did my research on refrigerators.
Walked in at Howard’s, was greeted by Saleem Mahida, knowing what I wanted, it was easy he told how much and all, I said I had seen it for less and he matched plus a rebate that come with it.
who doesn’t like that.
I took the measurements again and wanted to double check, my husbands took care of the arrangements.
I didn’t get the fridge I wanted but with Saleem expertise we got a better one at same price and he made sure we were happy with the delivery guys, he followed with a phone call.
Who does that this days.
We wanted the right fridge, he wanted his commission and hopefully he got it .
It was a great great buying experience.
We highly recommend Saleem Mahida for any appliance advice at Howard’s
He’s our guy if we need anything from Howard’s we hope he’s still will be there…
Thanks again Saleem

Saleem was a wonderul saleperson to work with, very helpful in figuring out what the best dishwasher for us would be, and helping compare competitive pricing to make sure we got the best deal. Installation process that he set up with Long’s Appliances Installer was easy and efficient as well.

Stay away from Howard’s !!
I purchased a 50 inch plasma floor model TV on 5÷14÷15 for 333.00.
II asked sales manager, Albert if he had a box for transporting? he replied no, but i’ll wrap it for you. I’m thinking he’s going to use a strong grade of wrapping like «bubble wrap «, keep in mind it’s pouring down rain outside!!! I also asked how much does it weigh, Albert replies, 35lbs (LG’s website rates the weight of this tv at 68 lbs).
To my surprise he used a kitchen grade saran wrap to wrap this tv and only one thin layer. Albert never wrapped the lower section of the tv which house the speakers… So, Albert and another employee brought the TV to my car and placed in the back. Once I arrived home and begin to remove this so-​called 35 pound TV from the car, the slippery already wet plastic came loose and barely tapped the floor. The screen could have been broken in the store when I noticed Albert and the other employees struggling to remove the TV from the wall.
the screen broke and rain got into the speakers that weren’t properly covered in the first place.
I called Albert and Tony at their corporate headquarters and both of them were adamant that once you leave the store the item is yours and we cannot refund, but we can help you purchase another one!
Howards is a retailer of televisions and they know you do not wrap fragile plasma TVs in kitchen grade saran wrap… I will never shop the store again this has only validated my loyalty to
of which I’ve never had any issues with all electronic goods.
I will be doing a follow up with the Better Business Bureau.

I got a bit carried away at Howard’s last weekend.
I bought 3 refrigerators and a TV. Lord. But that’s what credit cards are for…
The big old kitchen fridge that came with my house, is on its last leg. So I have a new one, an Electrolux, on order.
Meanwhile, the garage fridge was even older & also not doin’ so great… so I figured might as well replace that one, too. A new LG arrived yesterday. So quiet! No more humming sound ²⁴⁄₇.
As long as I was on a roll, I got a new little under-​bar compact fridge (Frigidaire) to replace another relic that came with the house.
AND, because I was surrounded with new TVs at the store, I was inspired to buy a little Sony for a guest room.
My first visit to Howard’s ended up somewhat epic, obviously.
I was with Product Specialist, Brian G., for more than 2 hours. He’s patient, knowledgeable about all appliances, and not at all «pushy».
I was the pushy one, asking a million questions while unable to make final decisions.
Fortunately, I felt that Brian had my best interests at heart so I took his guidance.
And, so far, I’m completely happy.
Howard’s appears to be an efficient operation.
My delivery yesterday included 2 of the refrigerators and the TV. They were right on time. Delivery was free and they hauled away the old appliances, which will be appropriately recycled.
Delivery guys were friendly & yeah, I had questions for them as well.
Good news: I’ll be getting a rebate check in the mail at some point & Brian will even fill out the paperwork for me.
Excellent customer service means everything to me. It creates trust.
I can honestly say that I had fun during my 2-​hour shopping experience at Howard’s.
I have an old washer & dryer AND an old microwave AND a scary ancient dishwasher that all came with This Old House… uh oh. But I have no worries because now I know exactly where to shop when the time comes.
Thank you, Brian! I’ll be baaaaack…

To Stacy L. of Howard’s: Oh we did call your service Center. We are not going to call Tony. We are going to cal Tony’s boss. The howard’s tech came in yesterday to fix the refrigerator by replacing computer boards. UNFORTUNATELY, the ice melted and when I opened the refrigerator, the water DRIPPED! so we are going to give it a final try to have this rectified. So Stacy… hopefully your suggestion of calling Tony will help. I will keep my fingers crossed. Should I give Howards ZERO? you tell me…

I wanted to give my business to a smaller store instead of one of the big box places. My sales person at Howards was great and knowledgeable as he walked me through my options. Super. Then things started to go wrong. I bought a washer for myself and a TV as a gift. There was a slight overcharge on the washer but they found it and rectified it immediately. Unfortunately, they gave me back the signed credit card receipt. They asked me to return it the next day which I did. An extra trip, extra time. Not really a problem, an annoyance. I wasn’t happy though that the salesman told me I could return a $ 30 hook up kit if it wasn’t used (it was a remodel and everything was new so my contractor told me I wouldn’t need the hook up) and then the story changed and I couldn’t return it. Still, I wasn’t upset until they tried to deliver my very basic washer. They were an hour and a half late when they called to tell me there were signs on PV Drive saying no trucks over 2 tons could drive on the road. I have never seen those signs and, if they exist, they do not refer to deliveries but to through traffic. Our trash trucks weigh two tons. Moving vans weight two tons! But the dispatcher insisted they could not drive on the road. I told them to turn around and go PCH. They called back telling me they were seeing the signs again. Finally, they were within half a block of my house and told me the street was too narrow to go further! By that time I was at the end of my wits. I had a dishwasher delivered just that afternoon and that truck had no problem. It took four phone calls about their heavy truck before my husband and I gave up and cancelled the order. These people could not get their act together. My husband asked if they told people they wouldn’t deliver to Palos Verdes and the manager said they usually used a different truck. Good grief, tell us before we waste an entire day waiting for you. Went to Lowes the next day, got the same washer delivered and installed (big truck) without a problem. PS stay tuned to find out if the TV is delivered properly.

My boyfriend and I walked into Howard’s just to browse for a new washer and dryer. I felt skeptical about purchasing such a big item without having done more research, but after talking to Saleem Mahida, I felt immediately at ease. He was able to answer all of our questions, provide tons of information, gave us a heads up on DWP rebates, and much more.
We went back to Howard’s to ask Saleem a few more questions and he welcomed us with open arms. He remembered our names and our exact order as well! So kind, professional, and courteous. I feel like I gained a friend through Saleem :)

Moving into a new place, me and my partner in crime chong were looking for quite a few appliances. We ended up getting both Washer and Dryer from Howard’s.
Being thrifty and as Chinese as it gets, I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a store and left with a purchase on large items that same visit. My instincts usually kick in and realize that everything I’m hearing from the reps are usually just sales tactics and I usually am able to find deals online much easier without hassle.
However, my friend Saleem Mahida is one of the most honest sales and product specialists I have ever met and he brings a sense of genuinity that is so hard to find these days. Not only is he knowledgeable and could answer every single question I had, but he was going out of his way to get us rebates and discounts that he wasn’t required to do so. At the end of the day, we even purchased a 3 year warranty which is unheard of in asian culture. He know’s what he saying and I have no doubts that I will be taken care of if any issues occur in the future. Thanks Saleem!!!

Great prices, great financing and knowledgeable staff. This is the place to visit!
Bob Baker helped us with our purchase of tv, wow, did this guy know his TVs, from plasmas to LEDs. Never was their any pressure what so ever it was an informative evening that end it with me finding something I was happy with all thanks to Bob.
Would recommend this store to anyone looking for a tv, after all they have Bob. Haha. They have a 18 month no interest.

We had a great experience with Howard’s! Bob was wonderful when we first came in the store and helped us find the perfect fridge. I mentioned to them that their reviews weren’t that great on Unilocal.The lady proceeded to explain that it had a lot to to with the delivery and that they had made some changes! She was right, what ever changes they made were great. Our delivery guy Charlie was awesome! He explained everything to me and gave me time to clean the area before putting new fridge in! Thanks again!

We have bought several items from Howards from August of 2013 to this month.
We have gotten:
1-​Kitchenaide Refridgerator
2-​LG Washer
3-​LG Dryer
4-​Boshe Dishwasher
5-​Fridgedaire chest freezer
All were delivered as promised on time. We have been very happy with the products. My mom bought a more expensive Fridge and is wishing she had mine. The guys who helped us on the 3 different trips we made were all nice. Not too pushy. I mean they are sales guys so you have to tell them to relax a bit, but when we told them what we were looking for they were very helpful.
I highly recommend going to consumer reports and checking out your products first to see what brands are good. it worth the $ 35 investment to make sure you pick out not only a good brand, but the features that are going to be useful and not cause issues.
We got a very good price and free delivery and were able to get delivery dates we wanted which was helpful as we both work and were in the midst of a very busy time in our lives and they accomodated.
Their prices were far better and the service far better than the sears outlet. Home depot and other stores we checked online couldn’t compete pricewise.
They have a lot of stuff with rebates so you may need to put the money up front and then send in the rebate, but most of them can be done online.
