Besko's Appliance is on Cottage Street in Easthampton. A MassLive article lists it as opening in 1979. Its website lists refrigerators, freezers, beverage centers and wine coolers. In a 2025 r/westernmass comment, a customer wrote that the worker ran codes on their washer quickly, made the order for a replacement part during the visit, and installed the part in "15 minutes max" when it arrived a few days later, for a total bill of about $250 that they called "very fair." In a 2024 r/northampton comment, a customer wrote that Besko came out within 48 hours and that after the part came in it was "up and running 2 business days after the visit." In a 2024 Google review, a customer wrote that a young man came out, checked their six-year-old refrigerator, ordered the part and replaced it; when it still was not working properly, they came back, did more work on it and got it running again. In a 2026 Google review, a customer described fantastic customer service from start to finish with replacing a stackable washer dryer in a unique size. In a 2024 Google review, a customer wrote that a service call lasted less than 5 minutes to tell them their dishwasher was dead, that they were charged $135 for the visit, and that the business was unwilling to apply the $135 toward a purchase or delivery/removal. In a separate 2024 Google review, a customer whose manufacturer sent them to Besko's for a dishwasher repair wrote that they had been asked to call back 3-4 times about a part whose status Besko's could not tell them. In a 2025 Google review, a customer who bought kitchen appliances and a stacking washer dryer from the store in 2021 wrote that the owner, Chris, said he would do the warranty paperwork but never did, that it took two visits to fix the stacking units, and that the warranty replacement he said he would start for the fridge door, washer and stove top never happened.
“We had Besko in on the washer, worker ran codes quickly, made the order for a replacement during the visit---part arrived a few days later, installed in 15 minutes max. Total bill was about $250 which was very fair”
“Besko diagnosed it over the phone. Ice maker.”
“Besko Easthampton did fast competent work for us this past year at a fair price.”
“besko --easthampton. Came out w/ in 48 hours. Assessed. Part came in--up and running 2 business days after the visit. Solid”
“Besko’s! In easthampton”
“Survivors include Besko’s Appliance, now on Cottage Street, which opened in 1979, and Big E’s Supermarket at Main and Union streets, which opened in 1977.”
Excellent experience. Fantastic customer service and assistance from start to finish with replacing a stackable washer dryer in a unique size.
In 2021 we bought a full suit of kitchen appliances; KitchenAid fridge, electric range, microwave and dishwasher as well as Maytag stacking washer dryer for our new house as we expected our first child. It was pandemic, so I will give them plenty of grace on the timing of the orders and them not knowing when anything was going to actually be available. It was really frustrating having to call them to get updates instead of them figuring out how to use us a simple email to keep us in the loop. That’s not my big problem here. Once our appliances did come in, delivered and installed, the owner, Chris, told us not to worry about filling out the warranty paper work no that he would do it for us. He also instructed us NOT to purchase the extended warranty because “Then he wouldn’t be able to do our service work.” I thought that was nice. But turns out, he never did any of it. We had some issues with the stacking units and had to call them a thousand times to get anyone to come out. When they finally did it too, it took them two times to actually fix it. THEN the polished steel KitchenAid appliances all started having rust issues under the clear coat. I explained what was going on and after several calls the owner, again, finally came out… He brought a can of stainless polish and a microfiber rag! It doesn’t take a scientist to understand one cannot polish out rust UNDER a clear coat with polish! So, he said he would go ahead and get the warranty started to replace the door on the the fridge, washer AND the top of the stove. It never happened! I called multiple more times and they never ever got back to us. A very good friend had had their kitchen re-done prior to us purchasing our stuff and had warned us of them pretty sternly. As they also thought they were doing the right thing by buying local for all the reasons one should. But they got burned on their purchase as well. Now, four years later we have some issues with our stove(the same issue my friends had on theirs) and I am absolutely dreading reaching out to them. We still haven’t resolved our rust issues and lo and behold, they’re much worse now! Look, I WANT to buy local, I go out of my way to support local businesses and generally I am very patient, even when they’re finicky, but this has been absolutely unreal. This was absolutely the most money we have ever spent on this kind of thing and could have easily saved thousands by not buying through them. We were warned!
Our dishwasher has been broken for two months. The manufacturer had us go through Besko's for a repair. We've been asked to call them back 3-4 times at this point for a part that they allegedly ordered but for some reason can't tell us the status of. Why would I even consider buying a new, replacement appliance from this place if they can't answer basic questions and shove all the responsibility on the customer to offer basic service (communicating status). Giving people the run around like this is insultingly unprofessional. Would not recommend.
My six year old refrigerator stopped working, and a young man came out, checked it out, ordered the part, and replaced it. I was concerned that part was not going to be enough because another problem popped up while waiting for the part to come in. The owner was extremely responsive and assured me that they would keep working to fix the refrigerator and get it working again. The part was replaced, and afterward it still was not working properly. They promptly came back and did some more work on it and got it up and running perfectly again. They are dedicated, responsive, and great to work with. I highly recommend them for all of your appliance repair needs!
Had a service call and he was here for less than 5 mins to tell us that our dishwasher was dead. I explained everything on the phone and they could have just told me this over the phone but instead charged us $135 for someone to drive out to us to tell us that the motor needed to be replaced. We tried to see if it was possible to have the $135 applied towards a purchase through them or to go toward delivery/removal but they were unwilling to work with us. There are other local small appliance stores that do this and we are going to bring our business to people who are reasonable and are willing to work with us. Would not recommend this business.
