Our garage fridge went out after 20 years and I had no time to waste. I was looking for scratch and dent and was going to pay $1400 at Lowe’s for new so I decided to check out Famous Tate. I have never bought from them before. I went on their website and searched and a chat popped up so I stated what I was looking for and he responded with an $800 side by side door scratch and dent with phone number and location. I called and someone immediately answered and assisted me. I was on the phone with Joe for 20 min he sent me pictures showing the only 2 little dents, processed my payment and fridge was promptly delivered in 2 days! NO delivery fee. I got their 5 yr warranty so out the door $1,082! Delivery guys came early and called beforehand and even started sweeping under my old fridge for me! Great experience and will definitely be a return customer!

I like Famous Tate. If you are looking for kitchen appliances, I would recommend checking it out. The customer service was great compared to the large box store's were you can't get help or find a salesperson willing to help you. Famous Tate also has a price match for up to 30 days. The prices are very similar compared to all other appliance stores. The one factor that made me choose Famous Tate was their customer service. Brian was great!!

We've actually had two great experiences with Famous Tate. In December, my old washer/dryer combo bit the dust. Went to Famous Tate for the first time, and our salesman was extremely helpful, and we purchased a new combo unit. Upon delivery, we found plumbing issues and couldn't shut down the water to remove the old unit. The delivery guys left the new one in the garage and came back a few days later, with no additional charges, to swap out the two after we had plumbing fixed. This all happened a few days before Christmas.

Two weeks ago (right after Hurricane Milton), we found our 19 year old refrigerator was leaking. Too old for parts, so we had to get a new fridge, especially since we had already scheduled new flooring to be installed. Friday, we found the leak. Saturday, we went and purchased a new fridge and were told we couldn't get it until Thursday, which was when the floor installers were supposed to start. Our salesman kept looking and actually found a delivery spot on Wednesday and scheduled it for us. Now we wouldn't have the old fridge leaking on our new floor.

Everyone has been polite, professional and helpful. Greeted respectfully at the door without being pushy. The entire process was smooth, including the delivery and installation. A positive experience throughout and I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in purchasing appliances.

We recently had yet another fantastic sales experience at Famous Tate in Oldsmar. We are remodeling our kitchen and needed a fridge, stove and vent top microwave for the project. Jim Quigley from the Oldsmar store took care of us in a spectacular fashion, connecting us with beautiful appliances that match our taste and worked within our budget. The sales experience was great, as was the first delivery of two of our pieces (our stove needed to be ordered). The delivery men were very polite and professional, dropping off our new appliances and removing the old ones they were replacing. And there were even some promotions and rebates going on at the time we made our purchases, and we are looking forward to receiving those in the near future.
This is not the first time we have shopped at this Famous Tate store, but each time we have, the sales folks have been extremely knowledgable, efficient, polite and friendly. We cannot imagine buying our major appliances anywhere else in the area.

I like supporting the more local vendors. Over the years, I've bought 4 appliances from Famous Tate. This week was typical: I had selected a dryer from online reviews and specs, saw it at Lowes (who annoyed me; see below!) and came home and went to the Famous Tate site; there it was, same price as the big box stores. And a note that an "open box item was available"...called them and spoke to sales manager Lynn, and she could not have been nicer...yes, there was an open box item, yes it was $130 cheaper and was unused; it had been ordered and delivery was cancelled by someone. So, I bought it over the phone. And, unlike the woman at Lowes that I walked away from, there was no BS about "You *must* buy a cord and vent kit" (Lowes woman actually lied and said "warranty is void without it"...OMG!!). Lynn did warn that without them, the installers could deliver but not install; I guess I can see that for liability reasons.
Delivery was scheduled for 2 days out, and there was plenty of advance communication; on the delivery day they actually arrived 2+ hours early (which suited me just fine!). All was done quickly and carefully.
I recommend them whole-heartedly.

For those of you in the Tampa Bay area needing an appliance (or bed!), I highly recommend checking our Famous Tate... Great people, and they will instantly price-match with any sale prices you find online, or in other stores. I was in and out of there in 20 minutes - great experience.

I read all the reviews and I was a little leery about shopping here. I decided to buy a new fridge for the garage nothing fancy, to catch overflow, sodas and such. I initially was interested in scratch and dent because appearance wasn’t important and I wanted to save money. They gave me such a great deal on one that wasn’t damaged that I jumped on it. Then I decided to take a look at washer/dryer sets as mine was older and I was having some issues with both of them. Again, found exactly what I wanted at about 1/2 the price I was expecting. Then they were able to deliver and install all in 2 days, on a Sunday to boot. I was given a 12:15-3:15 window and they texted when they were 10 minutes out @ 11:45. I can’t remember ever having someone show up at the first part of the window, let alone early. The installers did a great job and were in and out within 30 minutes. Definitely would recommend and will be going back for any future needs.
