Appliance Plus 2 is a small, owner-run appliance repair business based in West Yarmouth on Cape Cod. BBB lists the company under owner Tom Vanatta with 14 years in business, open since 2012. Every customer review on file, however, names the technician who does the actual repairs as "Eugene" — the same name recurs across every review from 2021 through 2026. Homeowners consistently describe fast turnarounds: several reviewers say Eugene called back within minutes and was on site the same day or next, including a Memorial Day refrigerator repair where he diagnosed a failed control panel and had it running again within a half hour. Multiple reviewers across several years praise his honesty about whether an appliance is even worth fixing — in one case telling a customer their 2007 dryer, repaired once already, was likely built better than a newer model and didn't need replacing. The work centers on refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers, and reviewers repeatedly call the pricing fair or reasonable. There's no independent track record outside Google to weigh this against — the BBB profile carries no reviews or complaint history and is not accredited, rated "Not Rated" for insufficient information. Every review also names the same single technician, so it's worth asking about availability or backup coverage if he's out. For a Cape homeowner with an older major appliance a national chain might write off, Appliance Plus 2's track record points to a responsive, straightforward repair option — worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly, since neither is published anywhere.
Eugene made my day! Our refrigerator stopped cooling on Memorial Day. The next day, I called Eugene at 9:20 and left a message. He called back at 9:35 and was in our house at 9:45. He quickly diagnosed the problem. It was a defective control panel. He replaced it with one he had in his truck, and within just a half hour, I was back in business. Eugene really knows his stuff, a true professional.
Our 2007 dryer was repaired by Eugene 6 years ago, and then again today. He is knowledgeable and most importantly, honest. We were frankly prepared to have him tell us the dryer needed to be replaced but instead he said the older the appliance, likely the better made it is and so our 2007 dryer lives on, thanks to Eugene!
Eugene has always been terrific in responding quickly and effectively to my mother's appliance repair needs, most recently the washing machine. He knows what he is doing and manages to keep decades-old appliances running well. I especially like that he responds to my voicemails so promptly, too, informing me of the repairs he made concisely and comprehensively.
Had a washing machine that stopped spinning. Called Eugene who was able to come the very next day to our remote part of the Cape. Very professional, very knowledgeable. Did a great job and now My washer is fixed!!! Fixed the same day and a decent price. Thank you Eugene for a job well done!!
He promptly call me back. What a lovely human being, helped me over the phone . And, If my refrigerator doesn't continue to work to call him. Thank you Eugene.
