Love Best Buy Warranties with Geek Squad. Always no hassle.

Geek squad installed my washer and dryer and I got the 5 year warranty on both appliances.

I purchased 5 Year Geek Squad for my Kitchenaid dishwasher in January 2020, as I've had some bad luck with major appliances/ electronics. Sure enough, in November 2021 the dishwasher stopped working. I called Geek Squad and the helpful person (it turns out correctly) diagnosed the problem as either a pump or motor. A repair person wouldn't be out for a week or so, however. The repair person came out and said, "Yep, looks like a pump or motor." But did he have that part in his truck? No, even though that was the suspected issue. "It needs to be ordered & we'll repair it in two weeks (mid-December). Mid-December came and the parts hadn't arrived. I inquired with the Geek Squad-assigned repair shop, and they said it was "backordered." Of course, I was able to find the part myself in 10 minutes, ready for next day delivery, on major supply web sites, but that did not matter. Geek Squad informed me only after waiting 30 days (late December) could the repair be cancelled and a whole new dishwasher installed. I called in late December, and the person agreed to the replacement as long as another dept agreed; they did later that day (instead of within 3 days). Success! However, when I called to schedule the replacement, they said it wouldn't be until January 26. Frustraitng! But I waited. At 8:30pm on January 25, after previously receiving multiple emails confimring my appt, a person from XPO (?) Services, who does the actual installation, told me they had to cancel the appointment. Why? "The computer had accidentally assigned too many appts" ; I was being bumped to January 29. Unfortunately, January 29 was really difficult, as I had moved 2 other appts to that date to clear my schedule for Best Buy on Jan 26th. So on Jan 27, I called Geek Squad to see if I could at least move the Jan 29 appt to 7am-1pm ( instead of 12-8pm). The rep said "her calendar was gray" and she couldn't see what other times were available but would talk to another department, who would call me back. I said Ok, but I wanted to be clear to not cancel my current appt without verifying with me what the other time would be to make sure I'm available. She condescendingly said, "Of course I'm not going to do that." Within 2 minutes of hanging up the phone, I received a text asking me to schedule a new appt. Alarmed, I called Geek Squad, and the (different) rep sheepishly told me my January 29th appt had been cancelled...with no replacement. There was no record of why. The earliest he could schedule is February 16. I explained this should not be, but all he could do was send me to an "elevated" dept. After an hour talking and on hold with this elevated person, she accomplished nothing additional -- my appt was still on February 16. So I am going on 3 months without a dishwasher, and no assurance my wife and I will get one soon. To summarize: why pay $199 for service that doesn't actually perform? I just hope to finally, in February, get my dishwasher replaced and be done with this.

So, the five year plan is actually a FOUR year plan because I am required to utilize the manufacturer warranty within the first year. This was not explicitly stated when I purchased the protection plan and is quite frustrating because Best Buy sells you a five year plan not a four year plus manufacturer warranty plan.

You should always use extended warranty for appliances, especially with washers. I would recommend contacting the sales rep who got you the appliance instead of going to the Geek Squad section since the appliance gut will know local repair people.

Great assistance as always. They are always knowledgeable and willing to assist.

No need to use as of yet, so all is well. I'm hoping this is something i will not need for a long time

I know a lot of people do not believe in getting these warranties but believe me, they are well worth it, especially on large items. Just give the number a call and they will arrange for someone to take care of the problem. Doesn't get more simple than that.

Having access to the geek squad 24/7 for me is a life saver. I work remotely from Arkansas to California. Down time for me is a killer. I have used the service four times since purchase and its been excellent. Highly recommend.

The agents were very quick showed me how to use and cleaned their mess up

Extended service plan is affordable and good to get. Definitely recommend!

Guys showed up on time with the delivery. In and out in less than 30 minutes and clean work. Washer has been working great and barely can tell it is even running unless you stare at it to see if it is spinning. No more knocking when clothes are being washed!

5 year plan of protection, you should have, in case it has a problem.

Super quiet, the removable agitator is the best idea ever!!! So happy I decided on this one!

Always there for help. They help me to install my washer and dryer combo super quick and easy

They are very responsive but nothing was accomplished. They never followed up on things they were supposed to follow up on. My floor is damaged from the faulty installation from their installer.

Warranty seems a decent price, bought new washer after having old washer for 10 years I’ve used Best Buy warranty with prior washer that’s why I bought warranty had good results.

would not really know haven't had to use it. Does give me peace of mind

This has already payed off. The first dryer was bad and they replaced it

On time and Professional. A must have in time of need
