The ones we get every week.
If it isn't here, call (401) 232-9090 between 9 and 5, Monday through Friday. We'd rather answer it than have you guess.
Buying an appliance
What we carry, which brands turn up on the floor, and how to check before you drive over.
Both. New appliances sit on the same floor as used and reconditioned ones at 228 Putnam Pike, so you can compare three price levels of the same kind of machine on one trip instead of guessing from a listing. Tell us the budget you're working with and we'll show you what's in that range.
Washers, dryers and stacked laundry units; gas and electric ranges, cooktops and wall ovens; refrigerators in top-freezer, side-by-side and french-door styles; dishwashers; freezers; countertop and over-the-range microwaves; and air conditioning and PTAC units. What's actually on the floor changes as pieces sell, so if you're after something specific, call (401) 232-9090 before you drive over.
You'll see names like Maytag, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, Samsung and KitchenAid in the showroom. Which models are actually in stock changes as pieces sell, so the honest answer is to call or stop in. On the repair side it doesn't matter what you own — we work on any brand.
No — there's no live inventory list on this site. The floor changes day to day as pieces sell and new ones come in, and a stale list would only cost you a trip. Call (401) 232-9090 or stop by 228 Putnam Pike and we'll tell you exactly what's there right now.

Used & reconditioned
The plain version of what used and reconditioned mean here, and what to settle before you pay.
Ask usWe have not put this one in writing yet. Call (401) 232-9090 and we will tell you straight.
Ask, before you pay. All three sit on the same floor at 228 Putnam Pike, and that's the point of the place — you get to see what the price difference actually buys instead of shopping from a description. Condition is what drives the price, so it's the first thing to pin down on any machine you're serious about.

Used and reconditioned machines are a common pick for rentals, where what matters is that it works, it's cheap to replace, and the same shop can come repair it. We deliver anywhere within 50 miles of Johnston, which covers all of Rhode Island and a good part of Massachusetts and Connecticut. If you're outfitting more than one unit, say so when you call and we'll work from there.
Repair & service
Free in-shop estimates, any brand, and how much we can tell you before anyone drives anywhere.
Yes — estimates are free in the shop, at 228 Putnam Pike, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Call (401) 232-9090 with the brand and a plain description of what the appliance is doing and we'll go from there. We've been doing this about thirty years, so you don't need the technical term for it.
Yes. We repair any brand, whether you bought it here, bought it somewhere else, or it came with the house. Have the brand and model number handy when you call — it's usually on a sticker inside the door or behind a bottom drawer.
Four things: the brand, the model number, roughly how old the machine is, and a plain description of what it's doing — no spin, filling slow, not heating, tripping the breaker. The model number is usually on a sticker inside the door, behind the bottom drawer, or along the door frame. With those we can usually tell you something useful on the first call instead of the third.
Sometimes the repair is cheap and sometimes the part costs more than the machine is worth — it depends on the appliance, its age, and what failed. In-shop estimates are free, so you can find that out before you spend anything. And because we sell new, used and reconditioned units too, we can say plainly when replacing makes more sense than repairing.
Free estimates are given in the shop, at 228 Putnam Pike, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Anything outside the shop — including a visit to your house — is not part of the free in-shop estimate. Call (401) 232-9090 and ask what applies in your case.

Delivery & installation
Fifty miles out of Johnston — how far that reaches, and how to make delivery day go right.
If you're within 50 miles of our shop in Johnston (02919), yes. That reaches every town in Rhode Island plus a good part of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Give us your town or ZIP on the phone at (401) 232-9090 and we'll confirm it in a second.
We deliver within a 50-mile radius of 228 Putnam Pike, Johnston, RI 02919. In practice that's the whole state of Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Yes, as long as you fall inside our 50-mile radius from Johnston. A lot of Massachusetts and Connecticut towns do. Tell us your town or ZIP when you call and we'll give you a yes or no right away.
Measure the spot the appliance is going, plus the doorways and hallways it has to pass through, and clear a path from the door. Unplug and empty the old unit, and defrost a refrigerator or freezer the night before. For a washer, shut the water off at the valves. Five minutes of measuring saves the whole appointment.

Call the store at (401) 232-9090, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. You'll be talking to the same shop that sold it to you — we repair any brand, including everything on our own floor. That's the difference between buying from a place that also repairs things and buying from a warehouse.
Visiting the store
