## The honest read

Private Appliance Service fixes household appliances, and on Angi it describes itself as serving Rhode Island appliance owners for over 20 years. On Google it sits at 3.6 stars from 83 ratings.

A recent customer said the team gave a free consultation and, after the customer dropped off a chest freezer, came back with a diagnosis and cost estimate within 24 hours.

A 2026 customer said the company hardly ever answered the phone and kept pushing out the date their appliances would be ready. That 2026 customer also said the company did not do half of what was asked, then charged more than it had stated on the phone. A 2025 customer wrote that the company "gives the run around and sells bad dryers." A 2025 customer complained of no communication.

In 2019, an Angi customer said they could place an order over the phone without going to the store.

**Strengths:**
- A quick freezer diagnosis — a recent customer got a cost estimate within 24 hours

**Concerns:**
- Phone communication — a 2026 customer said they hardly ever answer the phone
- A higher bill — a 2026 customer said the charge exceeded the phone quote
- A dryer complaint — a 2025 customer said the company sells bad dryers
