    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.

      My recent claim with Allstate was for the washer. They decided that they didn't want to send parts, and they sent a technician to review it. The technician came out, and he couldn't really find anything wrong with it. It had been leaking. There was water underneath it, and making a loud noise. He ran it through an update and said that might fix it, but it didn't. It's still leaking, and the loud noise is worse. And now, it doesn't drain.

      When I called them, I told them what the recommendation was from the last technician. That was to get two people out because it's such a heavy unit that they can't move it by themselves. So I transferred that information to them and what they thought it could possibly be, but they decided not to send any parts, and they're sending one technician again who will not be able to move the unit. He's coming out on Monday to look at it again.

      I've filed a claim once before on my last washer, and they refunded me. They couldn't fix it. And it was the same thing. They did not bring two technicians. And after the third try, they decided just to give up on it and and gave me it. But this is an extremely good washer. We'd like to have it fixed. But I'm fine with Allstate. They're doing everything they can. They've always been very friendly as well.

      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.

      Their entire service offering is a joke and an outright scam! Just rest assured I will absolutely never purchase their additional protection coverage insurance ever again as well as, I will discourage/warn as many people that I possibly can as to never purchase this service offering as well as it is ultimately useless!!! Everything from the so called protection coverage insurance itself and most definitely their 1-sided non-american very difficult to even understand or follow; non-english speaking so called premium tech support offerings! My issue at hand was clearly an underlying failing hard drive failure issue which in return as a result thereof; freaking caused the high-level software failure issues!!! Completely common sense in regards to my issues; but rather common sense is clearly not so very common any longer, nowadays!!!

      Hello NATHAN RICKETTS,

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

      SquareTrade does our best to provide expeditious and hassle-free service to our consumers. We provide over the phone troubleshooting services to effectively solve our consumer problems. Not only does troubleshooting allow us to get an in-depth understanding of the issues plaguing the consumer device, but it can also lead to a simple on the spot fix that does not impact the consumer protection plan. There are cases, such as this one, in which the manufacturer can assist if the issue is related to a software update. We apologize for any frustration caused by this. However, we reevaluated the case and created a one-time exception for the consumer.

      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.

      I purchased a Galaxy S23 Ultra in August 2024 with a one-year SquareTrade protection plan (Plan# **). When the phone developed an issue, SquareTrade replaced it in August 2025. On October 8, 2026, that replacement failed: the screen went completely black and the back panel is separating from the body, with a swollen battery, a known safety hazard. I contacted SquareTrade the next day via their text support line, described the issue, and offered to provide photos. My case was escalated through a front-line agent to a supervisor (Axel).

      At every level I was told nothing could be done because the original plan had expired. I asked for any goodwill accommodation and was refused. A lithium battery swelling after 14 months is premature failure of the replacement device SquareTrade itself supplied, not normal wear. I am not disputing the plan's written terms; I am asking the company to stand behind the safety and quality of the replacement it issued.

      Hello F Mota,

      We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your recent experience.

      SquareTrade protection plans are extended service plans that start at the same time as the original manufacturer's warranty. This concurrent coverage ensures continuous protection for customers, eliminating any lapse in coverage. Our aim is to provide reassurance by safeguarding against mechanical and electrical breakdowns, particularly after the manufacturer's warranty has ended or if they cannot offer assistance during their warranty period. In this case, the extended protection plan coverage with us is expired. We understand the frustration this situation may have caused.

      We get a protection plan so that if something breaks, we don’t have to pay for it. This company is a fricking joke. Not only did they make us pay for the complete repair which almost cost as much as the damn dryer, but it was impossible to work with them and we basically had to do it all ourselves. Yes, they did reimburse us, but that’s not the point they’re supposed to pay for it and take care of everything.

      We have a lot of things through Nebraska furniture Mart all covered under this protection plan and have never had a good experience. Sometimes it’s a giant black hole of useless information and sending you in circles. We’ve been dealing with them for two months now just trying to get a claim in on a sectional that is no longer working and absolutely no one can help us. Every time we speak with one representative they sent us to a completely different department and that department send this right back. It’s been a nightmare save your money. They suck.

      They can’t fix anything without actually seeing it happen. So my ice maker makes too much ice and the drawers about it freeze. They could see that the temperature was below freezing in that drawer but didn’t see food freezing in it. Why get insurance at all? Terrible!!

It is super rare when we have any electronic malfunctions, but having a company that feels like family who springs into action and be there when we need them most is top tier.

      I bought a 65-inch Samsung TV from Walmart 3 years ago and also purchased 1 5 year extended warranty with Square Trade (Allstate). The TV broke. I called into Allstate; they asked me to try a few fixes, which did not work. After about 30 minutes, they told me to send a pickture and I would hear back within 24 hours. They approved the claim the next day. They gave me an option to choose from 3 new TVS--which were pretty much top of the line and not some cheaper models. I am now awaiting delivery. However, up to now, I am very impressed with the ease of the claim process and the quality of the replacement TV. My only complaints are that I cannot purchase a new extended warranty for my replacement TV and that I have to hire someone to come out and set up my replacement TV. Let's see how the delivery goes.

      Very disappointed with Home Depot and their Protection Plan. I paid $345 for a technician to come out and inspect/repair the issue. The very next day, the item stopped working again. I was then told by the insurance company that I needed to pay another $345, bringing my total to $690. After all of that, they are now telling me they will simply refund the warranty purchase price and cancel my warranty instead of fixing the problem. I paid for protection expecting the product to be repaired, not to keep paying out of pocket and then have the warranty canceled. What a way to scam people. This has been a terrible experience, and based on how this claim was handled, I will never shop at Home Depot or with Allstate again.

      SquareTrade does our best to assist all our consumers and provide efficient and effective resolutions. However, according to the terms and conditions of the protection plan, insect infestations are not covered. As a result, the claim was closed, and the consumer was provided with a full refund of the protection plan. While SquareTrade strives to assist all consumers, we can only approve claims that fall within the coverage specifications of the plan purchased.

      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.

      Excellent protection plan! I purchased mine with a laptop I bought on eBay. After about a year, the laptop developed an issue, so I contacted Allstate for assistance. The technician asked me to check a few things on the laptop, and within five minutes determined that it was a motherboard issue. They offered me the option to have it repaired or receive a full refund. I chose the refund, and to my surprise, the money was deposited into my bank account the very next day. Where else do you get this kind of fast, hassle-free service? Thank you, Allstate, for standing behind your protection plan!

      Original Review: Oct. 6, 2026

      Everything about this "service", from beginning to end is garbage. Bought a protection plan from Home Depot for hassle free 3 year service for my new Maytag dishwasher. I never buy extra services, I rather buy quality products, but the associate said they would replace my appliance in one day should I have a problem with it. Home Depot did not bother to tell me who was the company in charge of providing the service. After a year and a half it broke. Called Home Depot and they gave me a phone number to call Maytag. Maytag told me to call Home Depot. Home Depot finally gave me a number, not the name of the insurer (Allstate). The service is so bad, Allstate does not advertise it (it should be on the invoice). Called them and explained the problem. That did not work, they had no clue.

      They did sent me a link to create a ticket to explain in the ticket what I had already explained to Home Depot, Maytag, and Allstate. BTW, that is when I first knew it was Allstate. It appears that AI running the whole thing. As soon as a ticket was created they sent me a link with a survey. What???? You've not service my appliance and you want me to rate you? They schedule an appointment for about a week from when I called. So, one week, not one day. The technicians are not from Allstate. It is a company in NY, which has two reviews. Two. Also, normally you get a reminder email the day before, or the day of. Not too hard to do. Looks like Allstate's AI is not smart enough to do that.

      An hour before the appointment I send a text asking if they are showing up, they have my email, the appliance, they know what is wrong (or they should), and even ordered a part before they showed up. Yet the tech said, "Who are you?" He said, after I reminded him about the ticket, he would show up, which he did....In an unmarked car, no uniform, no ID, no knowledge of the issue, or what parts had been ordered from a company in NY with two reviews, a complete stranger. I asked him to identify himself, he said, "Do you want my driver's license?," it is funny, but not so much. He had an app with the ticket under my name, that is when I found out he was legit, he was already inside my house.

      I checked to see what it would cost to get a magnet with the Allstate logo for his car. Amazon said around $5. A shirt, $20, and ID, $5. But, Allstate probably doesn't want their company associated with the service. The guy was nice, did the job, as I said, was not familiar with the ticket, consulted with someone over the phone. The appliance has a very strange sound now. Crazzzzy!!!! When the guy left I got an email asking if the job was completed, NOT a survey, this would be the right time to ask for a review, they know it won't be good, so they don't bother to check. When I click on one of the options on the email, it takes me to their marketing webpage that apparently is trying to sell me the service!!!! In bold letter it says, "the protection plans that changed the way people think about protection plans".

      When I submitted my repair claim, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Every agent I spoke with or had email contact with was extremely knowledgeable in the claims process, and when each person gave the exact same responses....I knew right away I was in good hands. I received repair center contacts within an hour or two of filing my claim, and was able to connect with an authorized repair center the same day. The only difficulty I experienced was when I needed to upload my paid receipt for the repairs. However 1 phone call to your agents solved that. They provided me with an email to attach my paid receipt to. Everyone was very efficient and friendly. As I think back about the various interactions, all I can say is that it's not only impressive but I'm a very happy customer, Thank You to all involved

      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.

Usually, filing a claim is not a fun thing to do, but she said the customer service was great. They got back with her right away as soon as they had looked at it.
