    I bought a washer and dryer about two and a half years ago from Home Depot, and I liked the thought of having the coverage past the manufacturer's coverage date, which is this year. So, I bought the Allstate protection plan from them as well. When I had water accumulating under the detergent door and running down the side of the unit to the floor, it was easy to file a claim through a phone call. The only thing was that the person I spoke to asked me to check the hose. I said I couldn’t and I asked her to send somebody here.

    I was connected to a company that wound up without any communication at all. The man was extremely rude. I was supposed to have a 10 AM to 12 o'clock noon window. And at 3:30 in the afternoon, he showed up without any apology or any consideration. I told him he was three and a half hours past his window and I've sat here my entire day waiting for him. There was no response. It made me angry that he didn't even have the decency to say he was sorry or that he got tied up. So, I cancelled the appointment. I told him the service was poor. And he left.

    I called Allstate back and rescheduled. I said I didn’t want that company and that person to come again, and to schedule me with someone else. And they did. On Day Two, the one that they scheduled didn't come in at all. I found the text that they're coming on Sunday morning. So, I called back and asked if they made a mistake. It's not an emergency and I asked why they were bringing somebody out on a Sunday. I thought it was going to cost more money to do that. And they said that's the way it is. But the repair person did not show up at all, and I was annoyed. These service plans are either not what they were, or this is a crappy one. They automatically, without even calling me, rescheduled me. I got an automated message on Sunday night that the techs are coming on Monday between 10:00 and 12:00. This time, I was sitting and waiting. My husband and I were doubtful. At 12 o'clock, no one was here.

    I called Allstate back again and asked if someone was coming. I told them it was the third time and I was waiting for somebody. So, the rep said she would call them and would let me know. She called back to say that the tech was late but he would be here. The guy came. But he also didn't speak at all. There was no discussion. No communication. I showed him where the leak was coming from. I had taken a video of it, and he opened it up and looked. He said he didn’t see anything wrong and that it was dry, and he left. He documented that he couldn't find anything leaking. I did laundry, and water was coming out from the drawer where you put the detergent. It was dripping down from there but I could still use the machine.

    I got an email from Allstate saying they couldn't fix it or couldn't find anybody to send out. I couldn't understand that. They gave me the authority to hire somebody on my own and said that they would reimburse me for the cost of the visit, as well as the parts. I called a repair person, and I am waiting for him to find the time to come here to do it. So, I haven't even had it fixed yet. Allstate texted me, and if I agreed to find somebody on my own, they would send me $100. I have 30 days to get somebody here to correct the issue. I came away from thinking that protection plans are useless. I was not feeling good about it. It just seems surprising to me that the guy couldn't figure it out. But I feel as though I can count on Allstate to resolve my issue and support me through this. I feel confident that Allstate will stand by this and straighten it out.

      I submitted a claim with Allstate because the bottom of my LG refrigerator stopped making ice and it was not freezing. We had an error code that said FF on it. The guy came out. He replaced the fan assembly down in the freezer, which includes two fans, and he said a thermostat. It was all one big piece. He replaced it. I asked him before he left if he could turn the refrigerator back on. He didn't even plug it back in, so that concerned me. He left around 6:30 that night, and in the morning, when I woke up, there was a really loud noise coming from my kitchen, and it ended up being the replacement part. Really loud, and it was not cooling correctly again.

      Now, it's not just my freezer, but my refrigerator is not cooling properly. Because we keep the thermostats in both of them, and it was 46 degrees in my refrigerator, and it was set for 36. I let them know it’s making a really loud noise, and it’s now the refrigerator and the freezer are not cooling properly. The guy came back from the same company, and he asked me if there was a fan in the refrigerator. I was thinking he should know this. But I was polite, and I said, “I have no idea. But my husband, who's a mechanic, said that the noise is coming down below in the back, where the parts that you replaced.” He said, “No, I think it's coming from up above the refrigerator.” He asked me if there's a refrigerator fan. I said, “I don't know, but I can try to pull a schematic up on the refrigerator.” He said, “Oh, no. I think it's the refrigerator fan.”

      I said, “I don't. This noise just started after you replaced this piece. And if you pull the fridge out from the wall and put your head down there, you'll hear that it's coming from down below.” Long story short, he took everything back out. My husband felt that it wasn't seated properly, the part that he put in, so that the fan was hitting something. That's why it was making a loud noise. He didn't want to hear it, but yet he was like, “That's weird.”

      He took it out, put it back in. Now, there's no noise anymore. I said, "Okay, what about the cooling? I have a problem now with my refrigerator.” He said, "You just need to give it time to work.” I said, " Okay." I've been giving it time, checking on it, and the ice maker stopped making ice. It was set at zero. I had to move it down to -3. Then I had to lower my refrigerator to 34.

      When Allstate called me to ask how the repair was, I was like, ”No, it's really noisy, and now it's not cooling.” They said, “We have to take care of the noise first.” I said, “Okay. Just so you know, I want it documented that neither is cooling properly.” And she said, “Okay.” But then she must have done another order, ‘cause she sent two new parts. And the guy's supposed to come today from a different repair company called Home Solutions. I'm not there, but I made arrangements for my son to be there. I got a text from the repair company this morning saying that they canceled. I called AllState. But they said, "No, it wasn't canceled.” Then he called the Home Solutions repair place just to verify, and the customer service has been wonderful.

      They definitely are trying to help me. So, he asked me to hold. He called them. They said it's still on their list to come today and repair my refrigerator. But I have a feeling it's going to be a no-show today. But hopefully, that won't be the case. So, so far, I'm not thrilled. My refrigerator doesn't work. Thank God, we have a refrigerator in the garage, and I put everything that I could in our garage fridge. But everyone at AllState has been very friendly and helpful. And they don't just blow me off. Their customer service is exceptional. The follow-through with the warranty repairs is mediocre. Hopefully, they're really coming today.

      I bought five identical chairs. The first chair that I put in a claim for lost the hardware in one of the lower rungs. It fell out, and there was a crack in the wood. So, Allstate replaced that chair. One by one, I'm using them. They're lined up in my kitchen at the counter, so there's not a lot of activity. I’m retired and we don't have a lot of traffic flow in the house. I use this one on the end. When that one fell apart, I moved the next one down and I used that. The same thing happened. The wood didn't crack but the hardware fell out. My husband put it back in, and it fell out again. I put in a claim for the second one. I moved that chair out, moved the third one down. I couldn't believe it but after a little while, not too long of using that third one, the same hardware component fell out.

      I wish I could have just returned all of chairs. I spent over $1,000 on them. Allstate replaced two of them, and I have a claim in the third. They've been wonderful to deal with. However, when I bought the chairs and the protection, I thought I would get five years protection if something happens with normal wear and tear. But when the chair falls apart or has this defect, Allstate will replace it, but I can't buy any further protection.

      I wish I could also buy some additional coverage for the next four years. But Allstate's policy is I can't. I'm gonna use them. I have no choice. But I'm afraid that the hardware is gonna drop out again. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I've been in this place for a year. I have these stools. Even though they're replaced, I have no recourse if something happens. I'm a little frustrated with that. But the customer service, the amount of time I wait to hear back from them, has been wonderful. I felt secure in knowing that a piece of furniture that I expected to have a bit of use would be covered if something were to happen. I didn't expect anything to happen. It's a little frustrating to have the same thing happen to three chairs. It is a manufacturer issue.

      My treadmill was not working. The belt was not moving. That was when I started working with this claim. I thought that when I purchased the plan, NFM is going to send their own technician, but they directed me to SquareTrade, who directed me to Allstate. It was a big hassle what I had to go through. When I opened the claim, Allstate recommended some technician. When I went with the technician, they gave me a quote, and it was ridiculous. It is almost 200 bucks per hour.

      I raised that concern with Allstate, asking them what if these days, I just spend money on troubleshooting and let the parts be additional. They said it will only be available for 1,000 bucks. That is the max they can cover. If they spend three hours and they couldn't find anything, in the sense that they couldn't fix it because they don't have the expertise, like what the actual company comes with. They said, still go ahead. So, I went with these technicians, and they came. In one hour, they said the problem is with something. Luckily, the parts were covered by the manufacturer.

      I ordered the parts from manufacturer warranty. The second time the technician came to fix it, some guy who spent almost three hours, which is ridiculous. He had no clue on what to fix. And he broke my console. He had the audacity to say that, “Your console is always a problem.” These guys are a big cheaters. And if what Allstate is recommending are these guys, block them. They are fitness machine technicians. They sent one bad technician, he spent three hours, he messed up my console, and they charged 400 bucks. Overall, I spent 680. I produced the bills to Allstate as well. And I fought for Allstate because I know money is coming from either you are from me. I have a lot of emails going with those fitness machine technicians asking them, “This is something that you broke and you shouldn't have sent someone who don't have expertise. And they spent three hours. I'm not going to pay for their training.”

      But they denied all those things, and because they already charged it. I told Allstate that, “I already informed you in the first mail itself that what if they spent the time and doesn't fix the equipment?” They said, still, go ahead. I have that equipment lying there. It is not working. Finally, Allstate gave me credit for that one, Allstate. Maybe Allstate doesn't have any idea as well on how these fitness machine techniciansdays rob the customers. I would ask Allstate to not recommend those guys to any of their future customers, because customers will end up paying lot of money. Other than that, it's great. It was seamless.

      Allstate Protection Plans very good, trustworthy, and polite. They have been with me right up front, every step of the way. It was an excellent experience. At the time, there was no one available to send when I had a problem with it. But that's because there wasn't anybody available. When I told them after a few weeks that that they should reimburse me for what I paid for it, they did that. They were very good about that. My washer would continue to drip water inside the tub even though it was shut off. They were very good about taking care of the issue right away. They were also very good about answering my questions and helping me. They didn't have anybody available at the time. They stayed in touch with me. And when I got ahold of them, they were very good, because I said I need my washer. My grandchildren live here, and I have three little kids. I have a house full. Since they didn't have anyone available, they reimbursed me.

      Within the week, I already had a check in the mail. I spent more than what they sent me, but that's because I also had my washer removed, the one that didn't work. I added to it what I needed to add to it, like an extra 25 to remove the old one. But I turned around and I used the money to get a new one, and I had one delivered right away. The warranty is worth it for a washer or some big appliance like that. Have it.

      I couldn't afford to go out and buy another brand new one. It wasn't a cheap machine. I paid under $1,000. This was a good machine, well made. I had one like it in the past. I had it a long time. I bought another one, the same exact brand, and it was less than a year old. It wasn't very old when I started having problems. I don't know if the seal broke or what happened inside the tub. And I can't have anybody work on it. When it's under warranty, you have to get ahold of them so they send their own people. They told me that I could find someone else to try to fix it, and they would reimburse that way. But I couldn't do that because I couldn't find anybody. I would have to put the money up front, and they would reimburse me. But I didn't have money to do that, and I told them that. They didn't argue the fact. They just went along with what I needed, and it worked out perfectly. I was without my washer for three weeks.

      We signed up for a warranty through Home Depot. We bought several appliances and warranties for each. Just recently tried to file a claim on our dishwasher, finally found all the necessary paperwork, and the receipt we provided wasn't good enough because it wasn't itemized. Isn't it YOUR job to collect the necessary info when the warranty is registered?? If the receipt is wrong, maybe you should work with home Depot to have them create the correct kind of receipt. The item was 4.5 years old; we can't exactly ask for a new receipt. Will not buy another warranty through AllState again!

      Two steps into three of the receipt of my claim payment. I found the online uploading of my claim receipt to be simple and it was acknowledged immediately by the protection plan. Step two receiving approval of reimbursement for the claim was a little more difficult. I did not receive the described email confirming approval but a message online that told me I had to speak to a chat agent. This second step was relatively easy and the chat line confirmed approval of my receipt. Step three receiving the check is yet to be completed. The chat message stated that seven or more days for the process to be completed. We’ll See.

      To begin with, I want yo say that the representatives are always nice. Submitting a claim is an entirely different matter. First of all, on the website, you have to submit a receipt for the item you have purchased the plan for. SquareTrade has information about your purchase of the plan, how much you paid for the plan, and what item the plan is for, so I can't believe that Sam's, Costco, or the company you bought the product from hasn't already provided SquareTrade with a receipt. I'm older, but I don't remember having to provide a receipt years ago. Before Allstate SquareTrade used to be easy to deal with, but now they are impossible. My latest issue was with a dryer that when on auto dry would not turn off unless you manually stopped it - most likely a moisture sensor issue.

      They insisted on emailing me a list of diagnostic items I had to complete. I called them to complete the claim and was still on the phone for almost an hour and had to once again perform other diagnostic items and answer the same questions again before they finally submitted the claim and said they would send someone to look at it. They are going to send parts ahead of time. How do they know what parts are needed until a service person looks at it? I really think their intention is to wear you down so you don't pursue a claim. This same scenario has happened with the last 3 items I have purchased a plan for. I would give them negative stars if I could. I will not be buying a plan from them again.

The claims process was pretty fast and it was fairly easy to find my coverage once I remembered who I purchased coverage from. The most difficult part was that I had pack this large appliance up and ship it in order to have it evaluated. Once they received it within minutes they knew it was unrepairable even though I had given a good description of what was going on. Packaging up 25 inch by 18 inch 20 appliance is a little challenging to get done in a way that it arrives unharmed and took some time and effort that I feel was unnecessary. Getting the claim paid promptly was straightforward after that.

      Very quick response from the insurer. The only thing that took a bit is the item was put on back order. We waited for awhile but then the insurer realized it would probably never be in stock. At that point they reimbursed us for the cost of the product. Their reimbursement process was awesome. Very efficient and quick. I was impressed. May buy more warranties because of the resolution.

      The process was quick and smooth.

So far, I haven’t experienced any data leaks — no pictures (which were private, even if not highly sensitive) or important documents (licenses, etc.) have been compromised. I truly hope Relectro at 511 Schoolhouse Rd, Pennsylvania 18969 takes client privacy as seriously as they claim. Overall, I’m very satisfied with both Allstate and the Relectro team.

      I got the Allstate protection plan for the iRobot vacuum and when it was going around in circles and not doing anything, I made a claim. After I mailed it off, I ended up in the hospital for two months and when I got home, I opened the box and what I got was not what I sent. I would never send something in for repair with a dirty filter in it and I have no pets. On top of that, it was so scratched up. Somebody else had the same one and they sent mine to them. So, I was not happy at all. Allstate should have paid attention to what vac I sent back instead of giving me somebody else's nasty stuff.

      Allstate said they were going to reimburse me, and they did. But not for the full amount because I had it for a little over a year and a half. So they reimbursed me $278.99, which was fine. It sure beats what I got back. They told me that I could either throw it away, keep it, or do whatever I wanted. So, I kept it. It was easy communicating with Allstate. I had a hard time understanding the rep on the phone at times, but she was very accommodating and her customer service was fantastic. And I was very pleased with the outcome.

      I purchased an Allstate protection plan from Mint Mobile. I saw the payment came out, then they returned it. It came back out and they returned it again, then they pulled it back out. I don't know what's going on, but I let it go. If I have a protection plan, I got one paid because my money is not back in my account. This is the second time I purchased a protection plan and when I filed a claim, it said I needed to fill out some questions. I ended up doing that, but I didn't use the protection plan. When I gave the guy the info, he said, "Oh, no. This is not it. It should be a questionnaire.” The questionnaire was about my phone, then three days later, someone from Allstate said, "I need pictures of the phone. Is the phone broke? Is the phone not broke?”

      I didn't get asked all the questions with the first protection plan. “We need a picture of your phone. We need to see what the phone looked like.” The problem was within the phone, not the outside of it. It was no problem sending the pictures, but I thought it was too much. I ended up paying out of pocket to get my phone taken care of.

      With any electronic product, if something goes wrong, one would want to plan to back it up, and getting a protection plan wasn't too costly. My Beats head piece that goes over the head cracked and it was easy to file a claim online with Allstate. The website was easy. For the initial feedback and what they were going to do, that part was easy. They were quick to respond. However, I tried to get my headphones replaced, and they sent me Sanyo and all these unnamed brand headphones as a replacement, saying they were equal. I wasn't happy with what they wanted to give. I sent the letter back saying they were not equal or the same thing.

      I understand that I got the headphones for a cheaper price, but I would rather have my money back to put on what I want instead of getting these inferior products. We communicated well back and forth through email and they told me they approved it, but I'm still waiting for my check. They said they would mail it. Allstate's protection plan is a great product, but based on the situation that I'm dealing with with them, they didn't guarantee the product that I purchased and their follow-up when I was not happy with their suggested replacement was not fast.

      The washing machine quit working. It locked up. I contacted Home Depot to get the number, they gave it to me, and I contacted the number. Allstate's rep was polite and professional, and got everything set up. The time it took to get everything scheduled was minimal, so it was a pleasant call. And the technician showed up on the day that they were scheduled to do so, came in, and took care of business. He wasn't there long, but got everything set up, fixed, and the machine has been working fine ever since. What surprised me the most is I thought it would be three-hour deal, but he was in and out in 30 minutes.

I got everything situated where it needed to be. That thing was doing amazing work. I did a couple of small 3D prints. I did a couple of medium-sized 3D prints. I bought it because I was going to print a big sculptor part by part. I tested about two rolls of little things and everything was working fantastically. Then suddenly, it started not working very well. I went online and I started checking what to do. I purchased a new motor for the stepper. I also got a new stepper and a new heating. It started working for a little bit, and then it became completely horrendous.

      I started a claim process with Allstate. I went in there and it asked me what it was, and I said it was a 3D printer. The claim process was simple. I had a little bit of hiccups on my end, but not on their end. The only thing is I had to ship that big box. This is about a 50-pound box that I had to resend to them. One of the biggest problems is, for some reason, the claim was under another email. So, I had to reattach, and the rep was extremely helpful. I did have something before that broke, and Allstate replaced it for me. So, I would definitely recommend the company.

      Generally, when I purchase something, especially online or even sometimes in the store, they ask if I want to extend the warranty and I generally do, depending on the price of the product, if it's a more expensive product, like a PlayStation or a television. I've been buying stuff for years, and I'm sure I've had to deal with Allstate before, but the newest one was with the PlayStation. I paid 36 bucks to cover it.

      I filed a claim through Allstate and the only problem I had was I was out of town working. I ended up being on the phone with a gentleman, and he walked through the process. I said, “okay. Well, let's get it going.” the gentleman advised we were all good to go, but he needed photos, which prohibited me from proceeding. It was no big deal though. I asked my wife to take some pictures and send them to me. When I went to the link the gentleman sent, it was forcing me to use that link to use my camera to take the pictures. So, I sent a link to my wife. When I got back to the house on a Friday, I redid it, but it seemed to have worked prior. I sent the unit in and it got repaired. They sent it back in about 10 days.

      On most insurance plans I've had, whether it’d be through my phones with Asurion, through Verizon, or through Allstate, I haven't had any issues getting help. Before I purchase a plan, I find out what's covered and no matter what it is, Allstate covers it. So, I would definitely suggest it to my friend. Almost anything that happens to a device, they take care of it. All in all, I'm very happy with Allstate, because it's like I'm purchasing an extended three-year warranty for 36 bucks for almost anything that I can do to it. Unfortunately, my son didn't do anything to the unit. It just stopped working. Having Allstate is beneficial and I've had a great experience with it.

      It's very easy to obtain an Allstate warranty and it's more difficult to buy the product. On the website, they have Allstate under the product, you just click what year you want. Usually, I go for the maximum amount of time because there's usually only a couple of more dollars than the minimum. Also, the Allstate website is straightforward. Once you put your email in, it'll pretty much show everything from your email that's covered. But it's really hard to retrieve the coverage and benefit from it.

      I bought two Allstate plans for my Easy-Bake Oven. One of them was refunded due to me because I did not receive it. So, I ended up buying the other one.

      I made a claim when the oven stopped turning on or giving me any signal, anything that has to do with being able to have power. When I plugged it up, it'd just stay dead. Initially, I wasn't certain of which one was which. But Allstate was able to see that the first one was cancelled. So, I immediately started a new claim on the other one. Because of what happened with the first one, they wanted additional information, which I provided. But I couldn't locate the store receipt.

      I got the oven off Walmart.com and I didn't go into a store. And when I called Walmart, they said that they could see on the Allstate site that my plan was still active, and I purchased it with the oven, but that they were not allowed to send me any receipts. They gave me that order number and instructed me that they saw on the Allstate site that my plan was still active, and that with the order number that they should be able to help me. But that wasn't the case when I called Allstate. They told me that they wanted me to write a statement of the order number, the date I purchased it, and take pictures of all sites with the day's date. So that was what I did. I also talked to a couple of agents and they weren't trying to work with me, so I just left it alone. They said that if I don't have a physical receipt, my claim will not be approved.

      With everything I buy, especially from Walmart.com, I usually get a protection plan, and I have not been able to successfully file a claim on any item. It's usually hard for their agents to understand and properly communicate. I would articulate one thing, and when they read back their notes before they close the call, there would always be inconsistencies to where I have to tell my side about four to five times.

      I also have one pending claim with a refrigerator, but again, due to me buying these things online, I don't have a physical receipt. I also went through this with me buying a couple of futons two years ago. Even the mini fridge, Swiffer, when something went wrong and I reached out to Allstate, I never got a claim completed. I also requested if I could get my warranty refunded on my active warranties, and I haven't heard anything back. So, I just left it alone. But moving forward, I will never buy a warranty from Allstate.
