    We filed four claims for the washer and dryer. The contractor kept throwing parts at the washer and they just kept coming. Finally, I called Famous Tate and said, "Is there something we can do?" The rep said, "Man, I'm surprised. Allstate is really good. Normally, if they send a technician out there two or three times and they can't fix it, they usually just give you back your money and tell you to go buy a new washer." He told me that he would reach out to Allstate and move it up the ladder for me. They did that and we were very pleased that Allstate said, "Yes, absolutely. We will take this and you can go buy a new washer." They were spending more money having a technician come out and throwing parts at this thing than they were just to give us back our money.

    The two technicians who came out didn't speak very good English. So it was hard to ask questions of what was going on, what they thought, and should we do anything different. The first technician was very kind of condescending and very cocky. I wasn't there when he came out. My mom and my wife were there. The next time we had to have someone come out again, he showed up again and he was very pleasant with me. Then the next guy that came out was a different guy and he came out two times, but he didn't speak very good English.

    It was pretty easy to work with Allstate but I wished they had reviewed the claims that were coming in and seen that the claim had already been sent in four times. Also, these weren't cheap parts. Literally, they replaced everything in the washer except for the drum and the outside shell. So by the time you pay for that technician's payroll, plus the parts that are $200, $300, $400 and $600, you could have bought me two washers.

      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.

      I had a claim with Allstate for a rug and the submission process was fairly easy. They ended up not being able to replace it. We tried to repair it or resolve the whole thing with some solution, but it didn't work. That went okay but the interim part got weird. They wanted me to do the solution on it four different times, which I did. And the solution was actually pretty good because I knew where another stain was on another piece of carpet in my house. So I was able to check if the suggestion would work on that. It did really, so the stuff was legitimate. But the rug was made of a different material so it didn't work out.

      The weird part was communicating back and forth at that point. They asked for pictures of the rug and when I sent them pictures, they sent me a message back that was in code. It was weird. There were lots of exclamation marks and question marks in between the words. So I had to decipher and it was really strange. Then it took a few days, around 72 hours or so, which was not unacceptable. In the end, I told them that I couldn't decipher these messages and the lady said no problem. She whipped it right up but she made me resubmit a bunch of stuff that I had submitted. Then it was done. She just processed it quickly from there.

      My husband initially told me that I was going to waste my money on the protection plan and he totally jinxed this rug from the day it was bought. But I think, especially for rugs, I would still get the plan. I'll also definitely consider it every time now versus just saying absolutely not and just declining it. I'd also tell others to give it a whirl with Allstate. Anybody who was on the phone was fantastic and I was satisfied with the coverage.

      I have consistently purchased Home Depot extended warranty protection for each of my major home appliances, usually for the maximum time allowed of five years. When I get to the five-year point with no breakdowns, that is its own success. On the very rare occasion of a breakdown in any of my Home Depot major appliances, I call the Home Depot help line. This gets me in touch with the Allstate Protection Plans.

      Recently, I had a leak in my GE dishwasher from Home Depot. When I called for support, Allstate Protection quickly sent a door seal and had a technician from Supreme Appliance Repair install that. There was also a middle rack that had come apart from its guide support. Allstate quickly sent that replacement part and again Supreme installed that. When the GE washer continued to leak, Supreme came a third time to diagnose the issue. They stated it needed a new door. Now, I said to my wife, that is at least 50 to 60 percent the total value of the dishwasher.

      Here is the amazing part: Allstate made a decision to "cut its losses" (after three visits from Supreme, and a call for a new door), carefully considered its options, and offered us the original cost of the dishwasher and the associated installation charges. This came in the form of a Home Depot gift certificate (essentially the same as store credit). I found out that Allstate stands by its warranty. I graciously accepted the gift certificate, and bought essentially the same GE dishwasher from Home Depot. My total out-of-pocket was a few hundred (including, of course, the Home Depot extended warranty).

      Before buying an extended warranty, consumers should ask one question: what happens when the failure is real—but intermittent? We purchased an Allstate Protection Plan for our refrigerator expecting protection and peace of mind. Instead, we experienced a recurring issue: a loud alarm sounding without warning and intermittent freezing in the upper compartment. A technician was dispatched, but because the issue did not occur during the visit, the claim was denied.

      The result is a gap in coverage that is not clearly communicated at the point of sale: intermittent failures may effectively be unresolvable under the current service model. We are now left to document random malfunctions while living with an unreliable appliance. Consumers do not purchase protection plans to prove a problem exists—they purchase them to have it resolved. If coverage depends on replication during a single service visit, that limitation should be explicit before purchase.

      Tommy D’s who did repair work was outstanding and communication with them was excellent. Highly recommend his company. The call to Allstate was very cumbersome. It took over an hour with several different AI entities. I mediately was able to cluck on my account with all details. I then had to repeat this information several times. Each time at a different AI level there was an additional wait time for it to digest all the information. I repeated the issue I was having and the steps I had already taken to identify. I had disconnected electricity for 10 minutes, checked drain tubing, emptied and checked drain basket several

      Times and re-started the appliance and emptied the water three times.

      They asked me to move close. I already had checked these things and told them so. AI finally got smart enough to realize I had already completed diagnostics and moved me to a scheduling section. The date they gave was not compatible with Tommy D’s do they changed it. He was the saving grace to this process. On time, very nice, efficient and did a great job.

      Original Review: May 29, 2026

      I contacted Allstate Warranty regarding my son’s bicycle, which has significant damage including a broken frame and multiple damaged components. Based on the condition of the bicycle, it is clearly a total loss and not reasonably repairable. Despite already providing pictures showing the extent of the damage, I was instructed to take time out of my workday to bring the bicycle to a local repair shop for a written estimate. I was told that only after a third party confirmed that the repair cost exceeded the value of the bicycle would a replacement or resolution be considered.

      This process is extremely inconvenient and unnecessary. The damage is obvious from the photos provided, and requiring a customer to spend additional time and effort obtaining documentation for something that is already clearly visible feels like an unnecessary burden. I believe there should be a more efficient process in place where representatives are empowered to make reasonable decisions based on clear photographic evidence, especially in situations involving obvious total losses. Customers should not have to lose work time or go through extra steps simply to confirm damage that is already apparent. I would appreciate a faster and more customer-friendly resolution process moving forward.

      The sales lady explained that a protection plan would be a good option for my refrigerator. The one we got before didn’t last five years, so I thought of getting one. The store where we bought the refrigerator put the Allstate protection plan on the deal. We did one year with no interest. I filed a claim to get reimbursed for half of the filter and it was super easy. I did it on my phone and took a picture. I like that Allstate pays back half of the preventive maintenance. So, when I buy the filters, which are very expensive at about $50, they send me a check right back for $25.

      SquareTrade provides coverage for a wide range of electrical and mechanical issues, and when the accidental damage plan is purchased, it also covers physical damage. However, our Terms & Conditions specify that we only cover operational failure caused by a power surge if the item is connected to a surge protector. This was not applicable to your claim. However SquareTrade can reevaluate the case to determine how we can resolve your issue.

      One of our specialists has contacted you to discuss this and ensure that appropriate support is provided to resolve your issue.

      Thank you,

      TD

      Our experience with Allstate has been really good, and I always suggest it to people. I bought an electric shaver from Walmart that I got cashed out on because it only lasted a few times. It was on their website, and it was lowered down as a flash sale for $22. It said it had a retail of almost $90. I figured it can't be that bad. I plugged it in one time to charge it, and I heard a little, tiny spark. And it wouldn't turn off. I had to let it die, and then when I went to recharge it again, it was dead. So, Allstate paid me for a new one.

      I got Allstate for a washer and dryer through the store where I bought the appliance. I filed a claim online when the dryer wasn't working, then they sent a repairman out as well as a replacement part. He was great. All in all, the warranty is pretty good and it is important to have one.

      I typically get protection plans for any of my high-dollar purchases. I got a pretty expensive lawnmower, so it was a no-brainer to get an Allstate plan on it. That was what was offered through Home Depot where I purchased the lawnmower. When I was getting ready for the spring mowing season and I turned on the lawnmower, it wouldn't start initially. And when I finally got it to start, the noises that were coming out of it were very worrisome. I took it to a Toro-approved repair shop up the road and they said, for warranty claims, I needed to submit a notification to Allstate before I bring it into the shop. So, that was what I did and it was very easy.

      I contacted Allstate and explained to them what the issue was with the lawnmower. Their rep then got the initial case opened and said I was approved to take it into the shop for repairs. Once the repairs were completed, I got the receipt from the repair shop and uploaded that into the Allstate portal. They determined what was covered by the warranty and they reimbursed me for the warranty-covered charges. Then, the reimbursement came very quickly. This extended warranty is very valuable and Allstate did an awesome job. I would tell others who are considering them to for it.

      I've got a few different items that are covered by Allstate including a laptop, faucet, a pump, and a water pump. I filed a claim on the laptop and the process was fairly easy. I had to look up my plan number, then I contacted them and explained the problem. I had to write the explanation, then they wanted to call, troubleshoot, and see if they could fix it over the phone, which they couldn't do. Then, they sent me a place to send it to and shipped it back to me after working on it. I've never turned it on since I got it back from them but presumably, it's fixed.

      Printer started having issues with scanning. Called and then submitted a work order request. Was assigned a number and then called the number they said to call. Was first just kind of put off and after they spent an hour with no success, they then told me to find someone to look at it and give an estimate for repair and they will consider if better to get it fixed or just pay me what my purchase price was. I called Geek Squad and they want $150 to come out and look at it. I called back and argued this is their job to replace or fix, and they said box it up and return to them, and they will send a check for purchase price. Should have done this from the beginning.

      Hello Bobby Zwahr,

      We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience with your claim.

      SquareTrade always does its best to offer repair and replacement solutions as our top priority. A reimbursement can be offered when the initial options are unavailable. In some cases, SquareTrade requires customers to send their damaged or defective unit to us for evaluation so that a reimbursement can be processed. This process allows customers to mail the device using a prepaid shipping label for a quick reimbursement resolution. Although many customers favor this option due to the quick turnaround, others may not, as in this case.

      We sincerely apologize for any frustration you have experienced with the resolution provided. One of our specialists has contacted you to further discuss this matter.

      Thank you,

      Walmart sells the Allstate protection warranty. Sounds great. Wait until you try to use it. Complete disaster. Totally incompetent customer support and warranty service. Take my advice, DO NOT BUY any of their plans. You will spend more time trying to get results than the item was worth. I'm into a full week of garbage answers and having to repeat everything when you get a chat agent. I got an email to call a 1-877 number. Before I know it the call dropped after a supposed text message was sent. I never got the text.

      I purchased a plan for a Kitchenaid dishwasher. After 3 repair attempts, which only made the problem worse … said they would only provide a set reimbursement a less value than replacement. We were sold the policy on the basis of repair or replacement. This is a clear bait and switch scam sold by Allstate, which should never be trusted for any insurance need.

      Their customer assistance is all offshore operators that speak limited English and only work from a fixed script. They are not able or willing to help or provide solutions. Under all circumstances, the customer will lose. You are essentially wasting your money buying an Allstate Appliance protection plan… the only thing it protects is them keeping your money.

      We usually forgo purchasing added warranties, but the cost of replacement and the included warranty by Costco made this a non-issue. While hoping that it was still covered, I was grateful that it still had to the end of the year of warranty. Just a few quick questions and I set up for an in-house repair, which I appreciated as I didn't want to haul my TV to a repair facility. A very satisfying experience and will not hesitate to proceed with future warranty claims. Thank You.

      I sent in a claim to Allstate and it was the easiest process. I've already recommended Allstate after I saw how easy their process with mine. Now we know the insurance definitely works. When I called to make the claim, I had questions because that was my first time using it and I mentioned I didn't know Allstate had on service people that they go to, that they have to select the ones that they use. I already asked them could I use this one particular guy that I knew fixed phones that somebody had just recommended me to him from my doctor's office. I didn't know him personally, but somebody had told me how good they did with their phone. Their phone was having the same problem my phone was having. So, I filed everything.

      When I got the information, it told me where I could take my phone, which I don't care because it was right here by my house. Allstate did give me a choice to choose, but he wasn't on there. The customer representative needs a little more training so that they'll know what to answer because the question wasn't answered to me correctly. What they should have said was, "We already have authorized people that we work with and you get the chance to choose one of them." But they told me I could use this person and they were not an authorized user.

      I am extremely dissatisfied with how this claim has been handled. Denying coverage based on alleged “commercial use” feels misleading and unreasonable, especially since this limitation was never clearly explained when the policy was sold. If Allstate intends to deny claims under broad interpretations of “commercial use,” that information should be made unmistakably clear to customers upfront. Using a coffee maker for myself at work constitutes a commercial entity?!? HOW? DO NOT BUY ALLSTATE INSURANCE FROM ITEMS PURCHASED AT WALMART.

      The pool pump suddenly stopped working. It was working one day, and the next day, it just stopped working. I submitted a claim with Allstate. There was a number that I had on the original receipt, and that was the number I called up. They said, " Yes, your thing is covered." They asked me for the receipt number, gave them the receipt number. They said it was still under coverage.

      Because I was driving, I didn't have access to the emails immediately. But they had asked me for a receipt number and my address. They verified that this was an item that was still under coverage, because it is one and a half years since I purchased it. Then they sent me a check.
