## The honest read

SK Lavery Appliance Company sells appliances and delivers and installs them. A recent Google customer who bought a clothes dryer at the Glastonbury store said the delivery men, Desean and Anthony, were professional and careful, and that Desean made sure everything was put back in place.

In a 2024 Reddit comment, a buyer wrote that delivery was handled by SK Lavery employees who set everything up and tested it. A 2024 Reddit commenter said the washer and dryer installation went smoothly, with friendly, fast workers even on basement stairs. A 2023 customer said the store delivered a gas stove to the garage, then came back and installed it in the kitchen once the gas line was finished.

A recent customer whose GE refrigerator had a warped freezer gasket said the Newington store's parts and service desk answered right away and arranged a new gasket under the manufacturer warranty.

A 2025 customer said a microwave's tray rotator was broken after delivery, and the replacement part took three weeks to arrive and turned out to be the wrong one. A 2026 customer who bought appliances for a new build said a return visit to fix the problem was called off the next day. A 2023 customer who bought a gas stove with the extended warranty said the store hired a third party from NY for the repair. A 2022 customer said false delivery dates came and went on a fridge ordered in 2020.

**Strengths:**
- Careful delivery — a recent customer said everything was put back in place
- Setup and testing — a 2024 Reddit commenter said employees tested the install
- A gas stove install — a 2023 customer said installers returned after the gas line

**Concerns:**
- Wrong replacement part — a 2025 customer waited three weeks for the wrong part
- A cancelled return visit — a 2026 customer was told no one would come out
- False delivery dates — a 2022 customer said dates came and went
