If the headline and the pros and cons didn't cover it, Fremont Appliance has great prices, but they will destroy your carpet. I am not kidding. After they dragged the wet/rusty/disgusting bottom of the broken old fridge over the carpet (they chose the one minute I left the room - I kept wondering why they chose to work around it rather than take it out right away. It turns out they wanted to do it when i wasn't looking), i asked them if this is how they always do it and they said, ""Yes."" When I asked what they were going to do about the carpet they said that it looked like it could use a cleaning anyway. And then they left, leaving an orange-brown trail from the kitchen all the way to the front door.
I called the office, and the owner, Neil, sounded quite reasonable and offered to come over with a spray can of carpet cleaner and a vacuum. Let's just say it didn't go well. His final words, after a ""cleanup"" of less than five minutes, were, ""if you don't like it you can sue me.""
Fremont Appliance does have great prices, and if you are a landlord with low expectations, it may be the place for you. If, however, the appliance is being delivered to your home (yes, even a rental apartment is home), don't let Fremont Appliance in. Really. You'll be sorry.
Pros: Great prices
Cons: Destroyed my carpet
