My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Maureen. We ordered a washer, dryer and garage refrigerator, once we new the closing date of the home we called she made sure we had them delivered & setup. This was an easy process and the company is wonderful. Maureen was friendly & responsive to emails, she helped us pick out what we wanted and did a great job. We love our new appliances.
I am writing because of all the different reviews that are awful. First I have bought here for over 18 years. Service is excellent. But things have changed.Before COVID-19. Now things are different. I own a blind business and we cant confirm anything at this time. Please be under standing and know that it is very tough right now. Builders cant get appliances either. Be kind, be understanding, but if you cant write a good review. Its not fair to say they dont care. They are equally as stressed as you. God bless America and God bless every ones patience. Kathy & Rick Brown
Great store and employees, but my microwave,Bouch, stop working for the second time. Both times same problem. Service department wants to charge $100. just to come out. I bought all new kitchen appliances in February 2018 with 3 year extended warranty. Which ended 6 months ago. The first time they had to replace the Bouch Microwave because it couldnt be fixed. Now its the same problem. They want to charge me $100.00 to come out. Service department told me I was being silly and I only paid $500 for the microwave. True but I spent over $3,000 that day on all appliances
Was in a bind. Needed a refrigerator and they had one in stock. Lowes and Home Depot didnt have any.
Not even 2 years old and freezer not working!What good is a warranty when parts take forever to arrive????That is, if they were ever ordered!!!Service department very frustrating as well!GE refrigerator a real disappointment as is this company
Greeted right away. Sales person Javier was fantastic! Still shopping around for best deal.
Why do they advertise repair if you don’t buy from them they don’t do service. Bottom line if they are that busy with products they sell products can’t be hat great
Price was ok. But not a lot in stocks and it takes a while to get it. $140 install charge for an over the oven microwave. I thought that was a bit high.
Big help with our problem. We ended up with a new stove.
I have been waiting on appliances since February 2021. Spend thousands of dollars here and still do not have a stove and refrigerator.They do not seem to care. They tell me they will find out when they expect delivery and they never call.Stay away from a retailer which cannot deliver your product, but have your money.
Had the worst experience ever. Staffer was rude,and Condescending. Showroom looks like mechanic garage dark and dirty. She also only showed us last years models. 2x the money. Dont waste your time with this place. Discussed
Gave us the time and attention we needed. Answered our questions and gave opinion when asked. We could tell he knew the details about his products.
Decent prices but family owned not a bit box store
Javier Rodriguez was. Excellent with his information about the Bosch dishwasher. I didn’t have to go down. To the store room I live in Englewood Javier was excellent with handling my account. I will go back to Bill Smith in the future!!!! Excellent job. June. Webb
The only place to shop for appliances as far as I am concerned...staff is very helpful and knowledgeable...they know their products
Phil was amazing. He put together a complete appliance package for our kitchen for alot less than anyone else. Delivery and installation was on time and very professional. Well never go back to the big box stores again. Thanks again to Phil and his amazing team.
Got a great deal on washer and dryer.
Amazing. Friendly people and professional
Manager was very knowledgeable about products. We didnt feel rush & he answered all our questions. Well by from then again.
Lovely, knowledgeable salespeople, great installers. Refrigerator arrived on time as promised. Delivery guys quickly and efficiently did the assembly and install, then took our old fridge away. That were very careful. No dents. No scratches.
We were greeted promptly by Phil Irish. He was very attentive to fine tune our ask to align with what is premier in the industry. Phil was patient, and extremely knowledgeable in guiding us to what was best for us--including what would fit in our home. Family had told us the Bill Smith Appliances was the best around, and we would surely agree--family owned, local business that is focused on the best product, best value to meet our family needs.
Dont use this company, paid them 16 Thousand dollars in June for appliances for our New Home that was being built and assured they would be there in August. Here we are the middle of December with no Refrigerator no return phone calls after many attempts. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Go to Lowes or Costco for your appliances
The guys name was Philip very nice to talk to some one that knows what he is talking about. Very Helpful foe every thing I asked him. Thank you Philip hope to see you soon.
Phil was very helpful. Found us all available rebates and gave us options to save $. Their prices are identical to big box stores, yet one on one help.Addition 5/20... Do not use GE rebates...they are issued as a virtual credit card costs $10 to get a real card, and cannot be used at all merchants. Also a 6 month expiration and takes several months to receive.
Great team... everyone very helpful and knowledgeable in their products. Also very aware of their competition and their prices. Purchase was easy and fast ... the only thing keeping from five stars is the fact that I have not received product (tomorrow) so installation and delivery would put the last star on this transaction. I can only assume that it will be 5 Star all the way around!
Always great service and great prices. This is the 2nd time we have purchased appliances from them. Javier was friendly and informative.
Dark atmosphere. Felt impersonal.
Philip was amazing and extremely helpful, I only travel to FL on occasion but since Im putting together an Air Bnb Ive been buying TVs for the tenants rooms here. Thanks for the awesome help.
I had bought a GE laundry center for my condo awhile back . I was dismayed when I had to call in the repairman, but very happy that it didnt cost me anything because I had bought the extended warranty. I have a need for a new washer dryer combination and I went back to Bill Smiths because I had a good product and they treated me well, even when I had to call for repairs. Javier Rodriguez was my salesman for my new laundry center and he was very kind and patient with me. I would like to thank all the employees from Bill Smiths from sales, delivery, service phone operators and service department for all they do for the public. I am one appreciative customer.
No pressure, good salesmanship pleasant and accommodating. Read reviews and went online prior to finalizing sale.
I was in last week with my patient that needed a new washer as soon as possible. We were greeted by Mike who was the store manager. He was very professional and was not pushy at all. We told him what we wanted and he showed us exactly that. He also was able to find a clearance washer for us to help us save money with the purchase. We will be coming back to him whenever we need anything at all. The delivery team was very professional as well.
Told Maureen what I was looking for in a washer/dryer set. Immediately showed me exactly what I was looking for. Done deal, in a matter of minutes. Always found personnel there helpful and delightful to work with. They sold us all our appliances 16years ago and wouldnt shop anywhere else.
TERRIBLE! 3 sales people on the floor on Black Friday at 2:30 pm! Completely understaffed. Wife tried to ask a quick question n salesperson wouldnt even answer her even tho there was no customer around...he was helping someone.We wanted to give a local business our appliance business but we went over to Home Depot n got helped right away.See ya Bill Smiths Never Again!!!About 3-5 other people waiting for sales also. Not a good business plan!
Very professional. Very quick. FYI, the Port Charlotte location phone number doesn’t seem to be working today.
We have purchased a refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer, and now a dishwasher from Bill Smith in Port Charlotte. Love this company! The staff is always helpful and friendly, the prices always competitive, delivery and installation always on time and professional, and they will service anything they sell.We never go to the big box stores when we can get whatever we want at Bill Smith, a local company in business since 1954. Highly recommend!!! Love them!!!
Decided to try Bill Smith Appliance to give a local business our business but the sales lady that approached my husband and I was rude and condescending. She definitely did not give us that “hometown” feel and we left and went to Lowe’s where we purchased an electric range that day. Because of her we won’t be back!
While purchasing from this company it went slowly but smoothly. We ordered Dec 19 and were were told that they would notify us when appliances were in. We had to continuously call them. Getting our sales person was no easy fete. Not sure why the front desk person couldnt be more knowledgeable or friendly,Dawn is who we tried to work with today, could have been better.Im just old school and believe that customer service should be a priority with any/all businesses..always review the first interaction a customer receives....it starts with the person answeinan the phone.
MAUREEN WAS AWESOME SHE TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW US ALL OUR CHOICES AND WHAT THE DIFFERENCES WERE. SHE DID NOT MAKE US FEEL RUSHED OR PRESSURED TO PURCHASE ANYTHING. SHE PROVIDE US WITH QUOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ITEMS WE WANTED TO PURCHASE WE TOOK THEN HOME REVIEWED THEM WENT BACK NEXT AND PURCHASED AWESOME EXPERIENCE.
Went to the Port Charlotte store and was very pleased with the service was there at 11 and by 12:30 we had our refrigerator in the house.Price was very good Maureen was excellent as a salesperson and Donald their delivery man was right on the ball and very professional
We had the pleasure of dealing with Mike Steitz, the store manager. He extremely well-informed and helpful, but not pushy, in helping us make a decision. The store is well laid out with many brands to choose from.He scheduled a delivery that was very convenient for us. This was an overall, great shopping/purchasing experience.
Unturned Wok me an electric cord for all lights to hang from the ceiling nice place
Got the washer and dryer i wanted at a fair price. Installation went great.
No need to shop anywhere else for appliances. They are knowledgeable, offer warranty options better than most, price match and when something does go wrong they repair appliances as well. They are all about customer satisfaction.
Very good service. In and out in a very reasonable amount of time. Purchased a TV and a refrigerator and Javier answered our questions and gave us opinions that were fact based. Will definitely buy there again.
Friendly helpful staff. Next day delivery..perfect! good selection and comparative pricing
We have always had a great experience with Bill Smith. Sales staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Delivery personnel are careful and respectfull.We have gotten extended service on all our appliances. Any repair work we needed was done in timely manner and to our satisfaction.
Extremely helpful. We knew what we wanted and weren’t pressured into an up-sale. Love shopping local. Will go back next time we need anything
Convenient location right off 41. Salesperson was friendly and very helpful in both answering our questions & in finding us the properly sized fridge. Polite, helpful and was not pushy. Javier was great to work with.
JaviarWas very helpful in assisting me with the selection of appliances . Being from out of town and in the middle of a kitchen remodel he was able to stay within budget and arrange for delivery when I need them in December.I was very pleased and look forward to using the new appliances when I return in January.
I made multiple calls today to arrange for a service call without success. On each call I waited 15 minutes +/- for someone to take the call to no avail so I hung up and tried later. After four times I gave up and called someone else.
Very well laid out store with many choices to choose from... no matter the item. I was searching for a counter-depth refrigerator and there were several to choose from. I was pleased with my experience and with my purchase.
When my washing machine broke we looked at many different places for a new one most dont have any in stock to take home that day but Bill Smith did and the price was the same or even lower than the big boxed stores.Staff we friendly and very quick to find what we wanted.
Maureen Motler was patient, kind and informative. Donald Jean the installer was clean cut, professionaland left no mess.I love my microwave. I’ve bought a refrigeratorbefore from Bill Smith and there service was superb.Due for a dishwasher and hopefully I have a few years left for my washer and dryer which I also will purchase at Bill Smith.Thanks Bill Smith for being in Pt. Charlotte.I tell a lot of my clients and friends about you.Best,Pam Prendergast
Had what we needed and in stock and the price was good
Great customer service! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and shown exactly what I was looking for. The prices are excellent!
They were more expensive than their competition, and the sales person was rude. I doubt I will ever go back.
My fiancé and I had our washer give out on us this weekend, we went to Bill Smith and Michael Steitz was a tremendous help in finding us a great deal on a washer and dryer set. He explained all the details to make this a painless experience. We really appreciate his help and are very pleased! We would highly recommend him!
Mike was very honest and extremely knowledgeable. He cared more about helping us find the proper solution, rather than making a larger sale. He has a new customer!
I had a very good experience the gentleman that I dealt with was knowledgeable on all appliances and availability. Would consider going back to purchase maybe a washer and dryer next. Thank you.
Looked on line at their web site, and found a GE chest freezer that we wanted. Our sales associate, was excellent! Brought out the appliance from the warehouse, unboxed it for our inspection, and helped load it onto our truck. As an added bonus, the freezer was respectively $49 less (at one), and $21 less (at another) big box store than at Bill Smith’s.
Excellent service combined with knowledge of the stove. Good cooperation between the employees and a pleasant experience for us. Also helped us with a problem on one of our appliances that was not purchased from them.
Although Bill Smith is a very nice place to buy Electronics and Appliances the prices are on the high side delivery service is impeccable but slightly pricey
We had a great experience at Bill Smith Appliances. Kelly in sales is very knowledgeable and can answer all your questions while not insisting you make a decision on the spot. Donald Jean efficiently installed the microwave and the delivery team of Miquel and Rafael are most accommodating and professional. We are very pleased.
Had my ice maker fixed by John Oswald. What a great technician he was, being careful to mop up water, not scratch wood floor. Fixed the unit which he gave a temporary fix 2 weeks before while the part came in. In two weeks it will freeze up again, he said and to the day it did. I dont know how he got it back in the hole built for it but he did w/out denting.
Bought a W/D pair, after Thanksgiving sale. Good price, staff very nice. Delivery was timely and professional .
Very happy with my buying experience. Polite and knowledgeable salesman, Javier helped me find the right dishwasher at a good price
Maureen was very helpful and honestno hidden prices. Prompt delivery. Next time I need appliances, I will only go to Bill Smith.
Maureen was beyond helpful in picking the appliances needed for our new home. The prices were actually better than the big box stores
Over the past 13 years we have purchased several Refrigerator/freezers having one in the kitchen and one in the garage.Their delivery service has been rapid. We purchased a refrigerator, went home and started cleaning out the dead one in the garage. The new one was being delivered before we had finished cleaning out the old one.We where happy with the two dishwashers that we purchased there.We bought a Toshiba TV set in 2003, It survived Charlie. It is still working and has never needed any service. Now we are going to see them to get a new and larger TV.
Nice low key sales, pleasant folks. All the choices in one place. Welcome change from crazy big box stores.
So far everything is great, deliveries on time and service personnel very nice.
Sales person was very helpful, knowledgable and not pushy, very pleasant. Thank you! I bought a microwave today n my next purchase will be a stove. You will see me again.
Javier was great! I’ve never purchased a washer and dryer before and he made it as fast and painless as possible!
Sales lady very knowledgeable & helpful. She was awesome & I look forward to doing business with her again!!!
My wife went in just this afternoon to check on a washer for an elderly women. She told me she waited for over 15 minutes and nobody gave her the time of day. So she left. I guess business is so good they dont need new customers. Sad.
Excellent set-up service . The technician was familiar with the machine and saved me an hour on the instruction manual, for which I will always be indebted . Anybody who is adept at simplification is a friend of mine .
Very knowledgeable and price matched. Havent received yet so can only review buying experience.
Great experience shopping for a new dishwasher at the Port Charlotte Bill Smith appliance center are salesman Mike Steitz the store manager was very very helpful and knowledgeable about the products thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
Just purchased a Bosch dishwasher and Javier was very nice and knowledgeable and helped with the whole process. Looking forward to the installation and clean dishes.
Every time I go to Bill Smith has been a great experience. Everyone is very helpful and they make it easy to shop there.
Very knowledgeable salesperson fast and efficient service understood just what I needed and I cant wait for my delivery
Very pleased with reception and assistance from Maureen process was smooth and I would definitely shop again at this facility.
So happy we shopped at Bill Smiths. They have the best selection and prices, plus their own service department!!!
Guy is fantastic always a positive experience when working with Bill Smith Appliance.
Local family owned company matches big box pricing and has much better service.
Very knowledgeable about what we were interested in. He knew the advantages of each model.
Large selection. Well informed sales people
Knowledgeable salesperson answered all of my questions and helped me to find the best washer for me. No pressure excellent service.

It was a pleasure dealing with Mike. He is very knowledgeable with all your products.

Friendly, clean, Javier Rodriguez was most helpful in making our decision to purchase our new washer and dryer. Thanks!!
Javier was very helpful in helping us choose a new dishwasher.
The only place I would go locally for appliances. Simply the best.
Good pricing. Needs more store agents.
