I don't know how their appliances are but I requested a service with them a while back and they do take at minimum a week to get to your place. They charge more than most other companies I have dealt with on the island and the last guy they sent me was very condescending. I try to avoid this company as much as possible. I recently placed a service call in which whirpool sent me to them and they refused to honour the price I was quoted because it was not under warranty. But whirpool knew that and still quoted me the price.

Nice young man. Efficient and honest. Long wait for appointment but not unusual these days.Booking clerk bit abrupt- probably tired of complaining people.

Barron's like always over the past decade came on time and fixed my dishwasher for a reasonable price and made a few preventative suggestions. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. I wouldnt consider calling anybody else in.

You can't do anything without a dryer during the winter/spring and with a full family's worth of laundry piling up, and reluctantly using g the laundromat I needed a solution. John from Barrons came out on a Saturday on time and had it working on the same day saving us more time from being burnt at the laundromat. Thanks everyone!

We have had been using Barron's for mostly warranty claims, when it was time to call an appliance repair centre for something we had to pay for, without a doubt Barron's was our only option. We want to keep Joel as a permanent fixture in our home.

My range broke down suddenly, and over the phone a technician looked up the model, told me the part was no longer available. Saved me a home visit and the money it would have cost.
Barron's has refurbished stock and I bought one over the phone, sight unseen. I'm not fussy, just needing a working stove! They recommended some delivery people and two days later it's in my kitchen. Looks like it was meant to be here. Great and fast service. Suggested I should come in to view the products but had no problem helping me anyway. Highly recommend. Will call them in future.
