    I never had a fountain last me five years. So, I decided to get an Allstate protection plan for the outdoor fountain that I recently purchased. I got the plan through Wayfair. The fountain has a pump in the bottom that pumps up water through a hose, then it goes to the top, and water comes out. But the hose disconnected somehow from the top of the fountain, and the top of that fountain was not removable. So, there was no way to get that hose back onto whatever connection there was at the top. I tried but it was too small to get a hand up there. So, there was no way to repair that. I talked to Wayfair first and they told me that I should file a claim with Allstate. I did that online and it was a no-brainer. Then before I knew it, they said they were going to send me a gift card for Wayfair to use for my next purchase. So, I replaced the fountain and I bought another warranty.

    The process with Allstate was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I figured I was going to be going back and forth and arguing with somebody. But that didn't happen. I supplied a couple of pictures, explained what was going on, and within a very short period of time, I was told they couldn't take the product back and they couldn't fix it, so my claim was accepted. Aside from that, the price of the warranty was reasonable. I would tell my friends not to hesitate getting Allstate if they think there's something that might need replacing.

      I purchased a protection plan from Allstate for a PlayStation 4, six access controller. It's an electronic, and it's something that does get wear and tear. In the past, through PlayStation, I've experienced issues with previous controllers as far as their longevity. So, I thought it'd be good to get some sort of protection. I did recently file a claim to Allstate about a month ago. I had my nephew over. We were playing games. He had a controller, but he stepped on it, damaged some of the joysticks. It's still functional, but they were slightly damaged. So, I looked into it to see if that was something I could file a claim for. It was. Then I was provided some instruction to do that.

      At first, I thought it was gonna be tricky because I had to figure out who the coverage was through. However, I had my receipt and my little notification. I went and found it through Walmart. I found the email, and then I submitted my inquiry. Within a day or two, I got a notification saying what I had to do. So, originally, I wasn't sure, but I got some instructions online. I followed those instructions, and it went smoothly. I didn't really have to do much jumping through any hoops. I just gave the information. They gave me what my steps were. I completed those steps, which was go get the device repaired through a local repair center. I did that, got my receipt, uploaded it. A couple days later, I was issued an email saying payment was on its way. Allstate was efficient. I am very satisfied. I'm glad I had the coverage in place.

      Was having small, dark particles on clothes and in tub after wash cycle completed. Ran 3, hot-water, cleaning cycles with Allfresh which only seemed to make it worse (more particles). Tried to get the bottom washer plate off to look for crud underneath but was unable to remove bolt. Contacted Allstate Warranty online for help, describing the problem and what I had done. Response (email) was almost immediate. Local repair service contacted me the next day, scheduled an appointment for a tech to come and further diagnose/repair the problem. He was able to remove the bottom tub plate, finding a great deal of scum needing to be cleaned out, although he said compared to others he had seen, mine was fairly clean. No other problems were found. But...

      After he left, I ran two loads of white and still found particles on clothes and in tub - although significantly less. Notified Allstate Warranty the problem had not been resolved. They're prompting me now for follow-up details (detailed problem description, pix, etc). Finally opted to run two cleaning cycles using industrial grade (30%) vinegar and baking soda (suggested by the repairman), which helped. I'm no longer seeing any particles on clothes or in tub.

      After running one more load of whites and seeing no particles, will notify Allstate the problem seems to be solved. A benefit of having the serviceman come is that the bolt holding the bottom tub plate on is not as tight - I can now remove it, so if the problem reappears, I'll be able to look under the plate to see if another crud/scum buildup needs to be cleaned out. The response from Allstate/Square Trade was exceptionally good - immediate response and good scheduling to get a repairman to me. Additionally, I'll follow the repairman's suggestion to use Allfresh tub cleaner weekly, and the 30% vinegar/baking solution, perhaps monthly. Also, my dealings with the repair company, Chambers Services (Illinois), was straightforward, without hassle. The repairman was pleasant and thorough, and answered all of my questions. My LG washer had no mechanical problems beyond my possible failure to clean it often enough. It was a good experience overall.

      The Fitbit Luxe quit charging completely and started doing some strange things. I changed chargers and that didn't help. But I've had one before, and they only last about three years. It's just the product. The little batteries, which are small, can't be replaced. I tried submitting the ticket to Allstate online, and it’s hard to navigate unless you have a person to do it for you. The website wasn’t that easy. I just wanted to speak to a representative and I finally got to a person who could help me. I spent 30 minutes with him and we thought we had it done. Then he said their system was down and I would have to call back. I said it took me forever to get to him and I can’t call back. But we got cut off.

      I tried again and got hold of another person. She was wonderful. She walked me through it and took care of everything. She asked if I wanted her to handle it for me and I said, "Absolutely.” And she did. So, the second person was a big help and did everything for me. I got a partial refund on the purchase price that I had paid for the Fitbit. I would have liked to have gotten the full price, but I'm satisfied with the amount that they paid me. When you purchase something and you are offered an Allstate protection plan, get it, because whatever you're gonna get is going to wear out. This isn't the first time that I have had an Allstate protection plan and it paid off. I've had it with an iron before, and when I ruined it, Allstate paid for that. So, I have learned through the years that things are going to wear out or tear up, and it pays to have an Allstate protection plan.

      I filed a claim for my son's laptop. He sat on the laptop. I went online and started the process. It was fairly easy. But I don't like that if you don't complete it and you have to stop for some reason, you have to go back and start over. Also, it annoyed me that if you're having a hard time with assigning the serial number, there's no option to say, ‘Hey, I don't know the serial number.” But for the most part, the process is pretty simple. Another thing is that I would like to have more access to be able to get to customer support. It seems like you have to search and search for a number to be able to get to customer service. It's not readily available. When you're trying to say I need more help or something like that, it's always chat. People don't always wanna chat with the bots.

      The outcomes are good when I file a claim. I'm usually satisfied with the outcome. But in a lot of cases with some of the items, they'll try to have you take the item somewhere to be repaired and then they reimburse you. I don't like that. All in all, it's good to purchase the plans. I told a coworker that on certain appliances, they should purchase the protection plan through Allstate. In a lot of the Allstate plans, accident is included. So, when I'm spending a lot of money on certain things for my son, it's just a must that I have to get the protection plan because 9 times out of 10, something is gonna happen where he accidentally breaks it. If I'm spending a lot of money on an ice machine or small kitchen appliances, the protection plan is something that you should get. It's worth the money.

      UPDATED ON 10/6/2026: After I filed complaints with the California Attorney General's Office and posted this review, Allstate/SquareTrade contacted me by email and offered to refund the $295 I paid for the protection plan. The following day, they emailed me again stating that the refund offer was made in error and that they would not honor it, directing me instead to contact the appliance merchant.

      They continue to maintain that the problem is with my home's electrical system, although the technician who initially came to inspect the appliance said the built-in unit would need to be removed with two technicians. I have not been provided with documentation establishing that my home's electrical system caused the appliance failure.

      ORIGINAL REVIEW: We paid $295 for a 5 yr Protection Plan from Allstate when we bought our Frigidaire 27-inch Combo Electric Wall Oven/Microwave in July 2023. The appliance stopped working in Sept. 2026, so we made a service appt with Allstate for Sept. 17, 2026. The repair person showed up, said he couldn't pull the appliance out of the wall on his own due to its weight, and said he would let Allstate know 2 people needed to be scheduled. I've been without an oven since then, even as Allstate makes up new versions of what happened. The latest is that my house has an electrical problem, not the appliance, and until I show them an invoice as proof my house is fixed, they can't assist.

      Today I filed a complaint with the CA Attorney General's Consumer Affairs Dept. in efforts to get my $295 refunded. I should've done what I've always done and called Sears Home Services for all appliance repairs. I was pissed when Allstate stopped insuring all townhouses in CA and now another reason not to do business with them. All they care about is taking your money. In 5 years' time, that $300 could easily cover one repair without my needing Allstate. Bad choice.

      Hello Dawn Rusalov,

      We apologize for any inconvenience faced throughout the consumer's claim.

      SquareTrade does its best to assist all consumers and provide efficient resolutions. After reviewing the claim, we determined that the reported issue was caused by an external power supply issue within the consumer's home and not the covered item itself. Unfortunately, issues related to a home's electrical supply are not covered under the protection plan. Per the consumer's request, the consumer was referred to the store regarding the cancellation of the plan and any applicable refund options. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

      In this case, we were happy to speak with the consumer and provide additional support regarding the consumer's claim. We hope to provide better experience in the future.

      I recently had an Allstate claim for a water heater. They were good about what the deal was that I signed up for. It was an extended warranty, and sometimes with those things it can be hard to make claim, but they recognized that it was a valid claim. They didn't make it too big of a hassle for me to make that claim and get that claim paid out so I could get a new unit. I would 100% do business with them again in the future.

      I have been emailing and emailing Allstate. There had to be three visits before my problem was fixed with my refrigerator freezer. The first time the Fixar guy came, he said it was fixed. As soon as he left, it was broken again. It wasn't fixed. So, they came out again. This time, the guy screwed something in the back, and it was fixed. Then Allstate, for some reason, sent a third person out. In the meantime, they had sent parts here. When the guy came, he said, "Well, it doesn't seem like I need to do anything to this freezer.” I said, "Well, they sent parts here.” He said, "Well, just keep the parts.” I told him, "No. I want them to get these parts. If we don't need them, if they don't need them on my refrigerator, I don't feel comfortable keeping them.” He wouldn't take the parts. So, I'm sitting here now with the parts. I sent an email and asked Allstate to come and get the parts, but I never heard from them.

      We apologize for any dissatisfaction with the consumer’s experience.

      SquareTrade uses certified technicians to complete all repairs, and we perform extensive diagnostic tests to confirm functionality before returning the equipment to the consumer. We are sorry that the issue with the consumer's device is still not fully resolved. However, we reviewed the case and have provided the consumer with full item's reimbursement as a gesture of goodwill.

      We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with the consumer and come to an amicable resolution for the consumer's claim. We hope to provide better experience in the future.

      Thank you,

      HZ

      My lawn trimmer started making a screeching sound and stopped working. Filled out an Allstate protection claim and was told I needed to return the trimmer before my claim could be authorized. Since the trimmer was large and bulky and could not be taken apart this would have been difficult to do. Called the support number and spoke to a rep who said he would need to check to see if the return request could be waived. He spoke to his supervisor and the request was waived and I received my payment which was put into my Walmart account. Was very pleased. The rep was courteous and extremely helpful in rectifying the return issue.

      Submitting a claim with Allstate is usually very easy. I've not had any issue with them where I would say ever again. Everything is good with them. However, I've been getting a lot of calls trying to convert me to Allstate. I tell them I'm already a member of Allstate, and they just hang up. It's like a scam. Every time I hear Allstate, my radar is up. I've joined Allstate, but I want to hear if they're trying to scam me or not.

      I often don’t purchase extended warranty coverage on products I buy, but I did for a dishwasher purchased through Costco. Getting that warranty paid off, and I’m glad I had it. The required repair was close to $600, and it was all covered.

      Hello John Sellers,

      We apologize for any inconvenience faced throughout the consumer's claim.

      SquareTrade protection plans are extended plans designed to provide peace of mind by protecting against mechanical and electrical failures when the manufacturer's coverage has expired, or the manufacturer cannot assist during their coverage period. Since the issue was determined to be related to the sealed system, the consumer was referred to the manufacturer for repairs in accordance with the coverage process. However, after reviewing the repair estimate and confirming that the cost of repairs exceeded the price of the item, we reevaluated the case and approved a full reimbursement of the consumer's item as a resolution.

      We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with the consumer and come to an amicable resolution for the consumer's claim. We hope to provide better experience in the future.

      Thank you,

      The claim was pretty easy to file. There were a few confusing things, and I called in for clarification. I didn't feel like they gave me any additional help, so I just winged it and it worked. I was able to get the information in. Besides the one picture thing that I called in for clarification and felt like I didn't get a whole lot of additional help on, the rest of it was really smooth. I really appreciated that when you sent something in, in not too long of a time, you get a response back saying it's in processing, expect X number of days until you hear from them. So, that was really positive, like in keeping me in the loop, even though it still needed to be a little bit of time to process it, that I knew when to expect something.

      I used the chat talk on the website that I didn't care for. It took way too long to complete. I tried to get a live agent, and the system wouldn't take me to a live agent. I could of talked to an agent and had my claim settled with an appointment way quicker than doing a chat call. Overall, an appointment was made with parts arriving on the day of service. The service tech was wonderful and answered our questions and had us follow up the next day!
