I got the Allstate plan for the leather recliners. The cost was reasonable because it was for two of them. It was perfect because they replaced it and it worked out wonderfully. I'm glad I did take it. We had some flooring put in, and when they moved the furniture, they set something on the chair, and it made a tear in it. So, I took pictures of it and told Allstate that the chair had a rip in it and explained what had happened to it. They said, "Okay. We'll look for a comparable chair.” Then the next day, they said, "We found the exact same chair. Just dispose of that one that's ripped, and we'll send you a new one.” The extended warranty was definitely worth it.

I was forced to pay an $89 deductible on a phone that I had used 2 1/2 months with a one year warranty. I was so promised 24 hour repair and was not updated about anything for a solid week. I was not given any updates except that my phone would be replaced not repaired.

They give you a standard warranty of one year on TVs and I wanted the TV to last longer than a year. That was what caused me to go ahead and apply for the Allstate plan because it gave me protection for up to four years. The picture on my 50-inch smart TV started fading out and eventually went completely out. All I could hear was the sound. I did a claim with Allstate online and it was convenient. They gave me a number of things to do to see if we would be able to get the picture back. I did all the stuff they said to do but it never worked.
Eventually, Allstate said my claim has been filed and they went ahead and processed me getting another TV. I had to wait a couple of days for that. They notified me which TVs I was able to get. I chose what TV I wanted, and they sent it out to me. However, all they got is one brand of TV, a 2026 and a 2025. I didn't have the same brand that I had. The other thing is I don't know if the plan would continue on the new TV. Other those those, if you can afford Allstate, go ahead and get it because it all works out in the end.

I had a good result with Allstate Protection Plans. I originally bought the TV from Sam's Club. They put the five-year guarantee on it for no cost. It was the three HDMI ports that failed. I understand they were on a separate board. But Allstate replaced that TV and gave me a different brand. That was my only contact with them, and they took care of it very well. I'm a 91-year-old dinosaur, so I'm having a little trouble getting up to the one that they provided. But the people that delivered it put it exactly where I wanted it, and they were very kind. I would recommend Allstate if you got a warranty on some item.

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!!!
Sincerely,No longer your customer nor never will be again!!!
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.
Thank you,HZ

I did not like the order parts first process before a repair technician checks the appliance. A simple repair like mine that took two weeks, should have been done in a few days. I also did not like the disconnect between the service provider and Allstate Squaretrade and the way scheduling was handled. But our service technician Shawn was very professional and pleasant.

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.
At this moment, one of our specialists has contacted you to discuss this matter and offer further support.

I'm having problems getting my claim paid by Allstate. I run a food truck, so I needed the generator to operate. I went and bought a new generator. I filed my claim and was thinking that they were just going to pay out the cost of the generator so it could reimburse me for the one that I purchased. They did not. They wanted me to repair the item. I took the item to a repair shop, got quotes then they said I had to pay for the repair before they would reimburse me. I went and bought the generator so I could operate my business. They wanted a receipt saying that I paid for the repairs, which I did. I went ahead and paid for the repairs, but I haven't heard anything.
I've been waiting for a response for the last two days. It's a pain to speak to somebody. They want to do it online or through chat messages. Online has been difficult to work with. It's not even showing my claim on my plans. I have to do it through the chat. I just want to get the claim paid so I can reimburse myself for the money that I've spent getting back up and running.
Hello Jeffrey Richards,
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your recent experience.
SquareTrade strives to provide our customers with efficient and effective resolutions to ensure that the claims experience is as hassle-free as possible. Our protection plans cover a wide range of products for home use and other purposes offering various types of plans that are associated with the type of product being protected.
Larger products are designed for business and commercial use. These products require a specific commercial coverage plan offered by select SquareTrade plan partners. In this case, you purchased a product intended for commercial use. However, the plan purchased did not include coverage for this type of product, which prevented SquareTrade from providing assistance. We apologize that the plan purchased for your unit did not include commercial coverage.
In this instance, we were pleased to speak with you and offer further support regarding your claim. We aim to enhance your experience in the future.

I purchased a protection plan for two medicine cabinets through Wayfair, but Allstate would only cover one because Wayfair didn't calculate it for two. Both sets had the same problem. The mirror started coming away. It doesn't chip off. It just dissolves off somehow. It's a terrible product, and I won't ever buy it again. I filed the claim through Wayfair and then called. Then I did it online, and it was all very seamless. Everything was fine except the item never shipped. So, they ended up having to do a gift card to Wayfair, which was fine. If I had not stayed on top of it, it would just have been forgotten. But whenever I reached out, the communication was very quick, so I appreciate that. I got what I needed.

I got the Allstate protection plan online in association with a purchase I made. I have experience with another protection plan company called Asurion, and it’s better. With Asurion, when you call and send pictures of the product, they take a look at it and tell you to send the whole thing in. With Allstate, they had me take it to an authorized repair outlet. Immediately, that adds a lot of extra money because the company is going to charge labor. Instead of me just buying the parts and fixing the problem, I had to take it to a place where they purchased the parts, put it together, and charged labor. I got the bill, which I had to pay upfront, and I submitted it to Allstate.
I got my money quickly right after that. But the whole process was three weeks long. It's okay. It's just more difficult to get the claim settled than with the other company I've used. This was the first time I ever used Allstate for a claim, so I didn't know what was required. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that, now that I know the process, the next claim should be a lot easier to solve.

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.

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.

I purchased a protection plan through the store for an HP printer because printers don't always last the longest. It was a relatively inexpensive one, just to try to get by, so I got it just to make sure I got a couple of years' use out of it. I could not get the printer to match up with my Wi-Fi. Hewlett Packard said I had to have it connected to my Wi-Fi in order to get it to work and I worked with their help desk on two occasions, but they couldn't get it to work. I don't know what the problem was. It wasn't my Wi-Fi. It was something with the printer itself. They provided a case number when I filed my claim with HP, so they could see that I called them on numerous occasions.
It was a pain to get to a human. That was rough. But after I actually got to somebody, it worked out well. The reps were helpful and very cordial. They did everything they could to get it resolved. I'm very happy with that. Allstate ended up sending me a check for about half the price of the printer. Having an extended warranty is very valuable. I have it on a couple of other items through Allstate, including my television and my coffee maker. Overall, it was a good experience. Allstate came through and took care of my claim.

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".

I've had my lenses insured with Allstate for three years now and it has come in handy. I had a claim because there was a scratch and Allstate handled it. I appreciate that. The combination of value of policy and the claims procedures are fairly simple compared to other things. However, They hide things sometimes. Depending on the email you get, you have to hunt around. Also, when you go to the store, buy a thing and get the Allstate protection plan, you send them the receipt with the item that is being covered at that time. But when you go to make a claim, it asks for all that again. It doesn't make sense to me.

Then the repairman came, and he did a very good job in repairing it.

I bought an Allstate plan for a sisal area rug, 8 x 10. A couple of the seams towards the center of it were starting to tear and pull away. It's underneath a dining room table, so it's not like it got a lot of wear. When I had taken the table off the rug to do cleaning and vacuuming, that was when I found that there were some tears in it. I made a claim with Allstate and it was very easy to do. I just went online to Amazon, clicked on the link, uploaded a picture, and I received a credit from Allstate. It took 48 hours tops which was quick. The price was affordable and it ended up paying off for itself. I would recommend Allstate. I also have them on my auto and home.

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.

My experience with Allstate was great. I bought the plan for my glasses and didn't notice that there was a little defect on them. When the glasses broke, they said I had insurance on it. I don't have a computer, so I did the claim on my phone, and it was very easy to do. It kept asking if I had any problems, to call their number. They made it very easy to get to. I took a picture and wrote what happened, and next thing I know, they gave me a refund. I'm very happy with Allstate. If I ever get offered Allstate insurance again, I'll take it. I've never been offered that before anywhere and they were really nice. Allstate was awesome and I have recommended them.

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.

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.

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.

My phone was damaged, so I filed a claim and went through the entire process they required. The claim was eventually cleared and accepted, and I paid the required deductible. I was then told that Allstate would send the necessary information to the repair shop within 24 hours so the repair could move forward. That did not happen.
After 24 hours, the repair shop still had no email, no claim information, and no file for my phone. I had to repeatedly contact Allstate/SquareTrade and go back and forth with them just to try to get the process moving. What should have been a straightforward insurance claim turned into an exhausting process of contacting different people, explaining the same situation repeatedly, and waiting for information that I had already been told was being sent.
I have saved the emails and documentation from these interactions because there has been so much back-and-forth just to get a claim that was ALREADY approved actually processed. At this point, I have escalated the matter through Mint Mobile, filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and submitted a complaint to the California Department of Insurance with supporting documentation.
My experience has been extremely disappointing. I purchased this protection specifically so that dealing with a damaged phone would be easier, but instead I have spent a tremendous amount of time trying to get Allstate/SquareTrade to follow through on what I was told would happen. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this protection plan to research the claims process and read customer experiences before purchasing. My review is based on my own experience and the documentation I have retained.

I recently did a claim to Allstate for my printer that had malfunctioned. The process wasn't too difficult. They asked a couple of questions and to take a picture and show them, or go into detail. It wasn't too hard. Most of the time, whenever I have interaction with their customer service team, it's nice. They'll go through the process with me on how to reset. They'll go through the process before they decide a claim. The last time, I did an automated claim, and they waited a day or two before they gave me a response back for that. I had to take a picture of the product. I would recommend Allstate to a friend. Most people that I've talked to, in the past or present, seem to work with them.

The dryer was broken. It was no longer drying my clothes. I filed a claim with Allstate over the phone, and it was an easy process. The guy came out twice. The first time he came out, he changed the heating unit. Also, there's a door to where the vent is and the springs were off of it so the door was no longer functioning correctly. Allstate sent that piece out. The only issue was when he screwed the piece the second time he came out, it left a pretty big gap on the inside of the dryer. Now, I don't know if they sent a piece that was incorrect. He got the dryer to work and it's still working so I haven't said anything about it because it's just a visual thing. It does not look like it was connected correctly but I'm not going to call them for a cosmetic issue, even though I probably could and there wouldn't be a problem. They would come out and fix it. That's the confidence I have in Allstate. I would recommend them.

You are always skeptical of these extended warranties. I can tell you Allstate works. I bought a $500 tv from Target with 2 year warranty and extended the warranty 1 year through Allstate. 2 years 7 months the TV quit. I contacted Allstate and answered some questions. They needed a copy of the receipt so always photograph your receipt and save it. A few more emails and then I had to call tech. The tech had me do some trouble shooting and said my tv was kaput. They replaced it with a $500 TV from Best Buy 3 days later. It took about 7 days from first contact to unpacking a new TV. I will use Allstate again.

I always get the protection plan when I make a purchase and this is the first time I have had an issue. I called because my tv wouldn't turn on, a representative named Ivan took my call he was already mad, rude, and disrespectful when he answered the call. Ivan immediately said they don't cover physical damage and I stated to him the TV does not have physical damage. He asked me to hold while he looked over my account when he came back to the call he stated that I told him the TV had physical damage and proceeded to argue with me when I said I didn't tell him that the TV was damaged. I asked to speak to a supervisor and Ivan told me that he is the supervisor, so I requested a different supervisor and Ivan said that he is the only supervisor.
I requested his supervisor/operator id number and he said that he didn't have to tell me anything. I reminded him that the call was being recorded and that supervisors are suppose to de-escalate situations not escalate them like he was doing, then Ivan asked for my email address and said to follow the instructions in the email and someone would get back to me. I received the email and sent photos as requested and immediately the response was that physical damage was not covered. I asked by email where the physical damage was located because there is none and my question was not answered.
I called Allstate/Square trade back and I asked the representative where the alleged damage was located the rep said the top right corner then he placed me on hold and when he returned to the call he said the damage was at the lower middle of the screen. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he gave the phone to Ivan. Ivan said he wasn't going to talk to me and hung up in my face again. I just want Allstate/ square trade to honor the protection plan that I paid for and to get rid of Ivan because he has horrible customer service and communication skills.

The printer wouldn’t work anymore and it wasn’t that old. I submitted a claim online, which was very easy, and Allstate decided that they were going to give me the money for my printer.

I'm out of town, but it looks like I'm getting the new check from them. I've used SquareTrade forever and they've always been very fair. I've not had to use them very often.

My gas range is 3 years old and broke (nothing is made well anymore) just before the extended service plan I purchased. Called Allstate and it was VERY difficult to get to an actual human to create a claim. Finally got through and scheduled a repair and was told the part would be shipped before my appointment. It was not (there was PLENTY of time), so I had to reschedule the repair to a Saturday, and from a 2 hour window to a 4 hour window. Repair seemed to work initially, but oven is again not working. Called Allstate again and was told I would get an email in 24-48 hours. 72 hours later, I called to check and they told me a new timeframe, within a day.
It came 96 hours later, on a Friday now, so I can't call until Monday. This is what the email said: "Please contact your technician to reschedule your repair: IB-SOLUTIONS 346-241-9909." That's it, nothing about parts, pretty sparse. I waited 96 hours for that email. I called. They had no information about this subsequent claim and told me I needed to call Allstate back. I'm done.

My experience with Allstate was very poor. The process was very slow. The part was ordered twice. It arrived incorrectly. The service person could not do it. And now, they want to pay me for my dishwasher to get replaced. So I'm left with a non-functioning dishwasher when it could have been fixed. They made an offer to give me a Home Depot gift card as a quick fix. And that's probably acceptable, except I don't know if I want to necessarily buy my next dishwasher from Home Depot due to this overall experience, and I've not had a moment to call them to see if there's a way to get just a check to make that decision. So it's just pending on my part. Nothing that Allstate's done. They promptly offered that solution. It's just not an ideal solution when the part does exist and can be purchased if done correctly, and it could have been fixed a month and a half ago. It just did not go smoothly.

But when I filed a claim for a pair of glasses, it was a dream. They required some pictures and though it was a little bit of back and forth, Allstate answered the claim immediately and we were given not cash back but a gift card from Sam's Club to cover.

The repair techs themselves - and their company - were great. The Allstate/SquareTrade side was terrible, and it took almost 3 weeks to get my dryer fixed. They knew the symptoms of the issue and shipped incorrect parts that had nothing to do with the electrical issue (they shipped parts for door hinges and mechanical failures - the unit wouldn't power up and it would have been either a fuse, switch or a control board and they shipped exactly zero electrical parts). Then, they closed this ticket with my dryer still not fixed, and didn't create another ticket to address my issue for 3 days, causing more delays. Then, they didn't ship the part to do the actual repair until 4pm the day before the repair was supposed to take place and CANCELLED my appointment with the repair company - despite knowing that the repair company doesn't come this way except on Wednesdays each week (I'm rural).
Luckily, I was able to call the repair company and give them package tracking showing the part would be able to arrive before their techs got to my house, so they changed the schedule to have the tech come to the house after the delivery was made. All in, this was the least well-run operation I've ever dealt with, and they need to dig into the way their processes work and what they ship for repair parts vs reported symptoms and get their systems right. I can't imagine how much money this company loses by costing THEMSELVES money though their own ineptitude.

I would strongly caution anyone considering a Home Depot Protection Plan through Allstate. Our experience has been incredibly frustrating and has made this protection plan feel like a complete waste of money. Our refrigerator initially had an ice maker issue. It took time to get someone out, and the first repair did not fix it. They then determined the motherboard might be the problem and replaced it. That is when a minor problem became a major one. Before their repair, we had a working refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker problem. After they replaced the motherboard, the refrigerator stopped cooling completely. We have lights and water, but both the refrigerator and freezer are warm. Their attempted repair turned an ice maker issue into a completely unusable refrigerator. We have now been dealing with this for approximately THREE WEEKS.
Last week, we were told the situation was being "escalated" and we should hear something by the beginning of this week. No phone call. No email. No follow-up. We called three more times and finally reached someone, only to be told they are "escalating" it AGAIN. At this point, "escalated" appears to mean nothing. Even worse, there seems to be little or no documentation between calls. We repeatedly have to explain what happened and what previous representatives told us. This is exactly why people PAY for protection plans. Three weeks without a refrigerator, endless phone calls, no communication and repeated escalations with no resolution is unacceptable. We didn't start with a broken refrigerator. We started with a broken ICE MAKER. Their repair left us without a refrigerator at all. I don't need another escalation. I need Allstate to actually resolve the problem.

Many challenges offered once I filed a claim. Thanks via a Costco tech I was able to talk to a claim team person which I explained everything to. After that It was extremely difficult being able to talk to a claim team person because the “SO CALLED” direct line was controlled by A.I. And they would only let me communicate with a live text only person. This was disastrous. They wanted me to explain in writing again. And ask question using letter only for words which meant nothing to me. Therefore, I answered that I would call Costco tech and have them transfer me to a live person which they did.
After talking a few times with live people via Costco tech they had me turn on and off the TV via remote and then using the TN on off. None worked. They then set up a time for one of their techs to come and was going to send parts directly and would give me info of who and when the part would arrive. I stated they need to deliver whatever they were sending to my front door only and not outside of my garage or patio gate and fence. I never received anything probably because a little while later they emailed and said they would replace the TV instead and gave me 3 options. Luckily I print screened it. I sent them and email and said I was leaving and wouldn’t be back until the August 31st. They acknowledged. Then sent another email which had 2 options. Then I returned I called via Costco tech and said which one I wanted from my first option. I was told they would talk to the team. They sent an email with model number only.
Well..it had all the correct model number and letter except one. I called LG tech and was told that model is older and doesn’t support Xbox which I have. I emailed back and said again I want the original one that I had already stated.

I never felt like I was being passed around or left wondering what was happening. It's not often that you can say you had a really positive experience with an insurance claim, but I truly did. Allstate made what could have been a frustrating situation incredibly easy, and I really appreciate the way they handled everything from beginning to end.

Having Allstate is not worth it. We live in a rural area and the company that they contract with locally to do the repairs comes out to my market once a week. I opened the ticket to get the dryer fixed because it died - no sounds, no lights, no dings, nothing. We called and they walked us through the troubleshooting of unplugging it and plugging it back. It was still dead so they said they'd have somebody out the next week, and that they'd send $50 as an inconvenience fee so I could take my clothes to the laundromat.
They sent us a $50 check and a bunch of parts. The parts got there the following Wednesday and at that point, we were 9 or 10 days without a dryer. The guy got here, took the dryer apart, and said it was a bad fuse. The problem was Allstate shipped a drive belt, a radial support arm, and something else. He said Allstate does this pretty frequently. About half of their calls, Allstate sends the wrong parts and they always have to come back. The problem was he was not going to be able to get out for another week because they only come to our area on Wednesdays.
Then I got an email from Allstate saying the appliance was fixed. I got them on the phone and told them the dryer was not fixed because they did not ship the right parts. I also told them the technician was not going to be able to come back till the next Wednesday but they said that's way it is. The gentleman I spoke to during the initial call when the machine went down was excellent but this second person that I spoke to when everything went wrong was just shrugging their shoulders and saying they're not authorized to do anything. I hung up and was ticked off. Four days after I had made that phone call, they created a new ticket and two days after that, I got three emails within five minutes at 4:30 at night on Tuesday. One email said they've shipped the parts, the second email said to confirm my appointment for the repair and the third email said they were canceling the repair because the parts wouldn't be here in time.
Allstate sent a tracking information for the part that they shipped and it said it would be here by noon. I called the repair company directly in the morning and told them the part would be here by noon. I gave the woman on the phone the tracking information and told her I would really appreciate it if they could get me back on the schedule for that day instead of going with the cancelation. She called me back and said the technician would be here around 2:00. The part came at 1:00 and the guy showed up at 2:00. It was the same tech that came out the first time and he changed the fuse. I could have bought the part online for $22 and done this myself in less time and less headache than I spent dealing with this nightmare of a repair system. Between that and having to borrow other people's laundry and all the others, never again Allstate.

I got Allstate for my headphones for peace of mind. I accidentally dropped my headphones and broke them. When I filed a claim with Allstate, it was difficult because they couldn't find my warranty. It took about a week for them to do. Initially, I went back and forth corresponding through email directly to Allstate, but I decided to go through Target which was the retailer I purchased the headphones from. I started a new thread and through there, they were able to locate the customer service representative that I spoke to. I called him and spoke to him over the phone, and he was incredibly helpful. He guided me through the process of being able to file my claim. They found the coverage that I had through Allstate and was able to get everything straightened out for me and get my claim processed correctly. Allstate was able to repair the headphones.

My experience with Allstate wasn't good. I was having problems with my washer multiple times. They were sending the wrong part. With my stove claim, they never even came back and fixed the other stuff they were supposed to come and fix. I don't understand why you just tell them something over the phone, and they just send you a part and don't even come out to inspect it.

Allstate is pretty par for the course for any type of appliance warranty. We have them for all of our kitchen appliances. We have had repairs and everything's been smooth and as it should be. The parts are generally ordered ahead of time and they arrive before the technician comes out. Recently, I filed a claim for the dishwasher. I called because I have submitted claims online before but I have not received follow-up, like for the claim that I did for my washing machine. Speaking with someone at Allstate is a better option.

Hello Ida Glover,
We apologize for any inconvenience faced throughout the consumer's claim.
SquareTrade does our best to provide our consumers with efficient and effective resolutions to make the claim experience as hassle-free as possible. Our local repair resolution allows the consumer to locate a repair shop within their area for quick and easy service without having to mail in their device. This resolution allows the consumer to keep their original item and potentially preserve their protection plan in the event another issue arises. However, after reviewing the case, we offered the consumer a full reimbursement for the original purchase price of the item.
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.

Very disappointing warranty and repair experience. We purchased this washer from Home Depot four years ago. Last year, it broke down, and we went through the warranty process. It took about a week to get the washer repaired, which, while inconvenient, wasn't unreasonable. Unfortunately, our washer broke down again two weeks ago, and we are now going into our third week without a working washing machine. A repair technician has been to our home twice, but the problem still has not been fixed.
The biggest frustration has been the warranty process. Every time we contact the warranty company, it takes a minimum of two business days just to receive a response. My husband has now had to miss two days of work waiting for repair appointments, only to still not have a functioning washer. We have two teenage boys who are involved in multiple sports, so you can imagine how much laundry we go through. Being without a washer for three weeks has been incredibly difficult, and the cost of using a laundromat adds up quickly.
At this point, I would gladly pay GE directly to come repair the machine rather than continue dealing with this warranty process. What should be a straightforward repair has turned into weeks of frustration, missed work, additional expenses, and absolutely no resolution. What is perhaps most frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be any way to speak directly with someone who has the authority to actually resolve the situation. The people answering the warranty calls can only tell us that someone will get back to us, and then we wait another two business days. We purchased this washer expecting it to last much longer than four years, and we purchased the warranty expecting that if something went wrong, we would have support. Instead, we have been without a washer for nearly three weeks with no clear resolution in sight. This experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.
I hope Home Depot/Allstate will reconsider how these warranty claims are handled and provide customers with a better solution when repeated repair attempts aren't resolving the problem. I will NEVER purchase another protection plan that says Allstate in the name. It's unacceptable. I even included a picture of all the boxes of parts just sitting on top of our washer waiting to be fixed.

With a warranty it took 2.5 weeks to resolve the issue and many phone calls. My latest call was this Monday 8-31, parts had not shown up and cancelled technician, waiting on parts. Amazing that after that call, the parts shipped overnight and were delivered on Tuesday 9-1. So, Allstate forgot the parts, leading to an additional 4 days without the machine. Terrible chatbot that you have as well. Argues about the laundry reimbursement that was right on my plan, finally got that. Too much work on the consumer end keeping the repair on schedule, waste of time and money

The handling of my claim has been absolutely unacceptable and, frankly, one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I have encountered. I work in customer service myself, so I understand that mistakes and unexpected issues can occur. However, the level of disorganization, misinformation, and repeated errors throughout this process went far beyond an occasional mistake.
It took more than a month for my claim to be processed, and throughout that time, no one I spoke with seemed to have a clear understanding of the status of my claim or what was happening. Multiple claims were initiated due to apparent errors and incompetence in handling the original claim. I was repeatedly instructed to complete the same steps, even after I had already completed them and visited a repair location as required.
At one point, I was informed that my claim had been approved. When I later called to check on the status, I was told that the claim had been canceled. I was then approved for a specific amount and received an email confirming that amount. When I called again for an update, I was told that the check would need to be reprocessed. I subsequently received another email stating that the check would be for a smaller amount and, even more concerning, would be sent to an address that does not belong to me.
The address listed is a home that is currently for sale and is not even located in the same state as my residence. At this point, I have no confidence that I will ever receive the check that I have been told is being issued. The complete lack of communication, repeated misinformation, processing errors, and disregard for ensuring my claim was handled correctly has caused an unnecessary and unreasonable delay. As a result, my son has been without a phone for more than a month.
I understand that claims can occasionally experience delays or complications. However, this situation was not simply a delay. It was the result of repeated failures in communication and claim handling, and I believe there should be some form of compensation or resolution offered for the significant inconvenience caused by the complete disregard and mishandling of my claim. At this point, I expect this matter to be resolved promptly, including confirmation of the correct payment amount, verification of the correct mailing address, and an explanation of what will be done to address the extensive issues I have experienced throughout this process.

Updated on 09/09/2026: Today marks ONE MONTH since my Samsung washer was not fixed. Because I filed a Complaint with Costco, Allstate Protection is DELAYING fixing this product. I was advised that a different part was being shipped last week (9/3/2026), and a Costco Customer Service Representative was assured me it was being shipped at that time (following their conversation with an Allstate Protection Rep). However, the part was NOT SHIPPED -- in fact, it wasn't shipped until Sunday night or sometime Monday. I have been more than patient -- and I was advised via email/text that on September 17th, 2026, Allstate would again come out to service the washer. 5 weeks and the washer is not repaired!
Original Review: I'd give ZERO STARS to Allstate Protection Plan (subsidiary of TradeSquare). It is almost a MONTH WITHOUT a working Samsung washer. The claim started on August 9, 2026, and finally approved on August 13, 2026 (with a receipt!). They've sent the incorrect parts twice now -- Supreme Appliance Repair sends techs out that cannot repair or order the correct parts. I've wasted another half day waiting for the tech--only to discover they need a different part. I've got about 8-10 emails and/or text messages -- This is a joke on the consumer at its highest!! Don't waste your time and money on Allstate Protection Plan. Expensive lesson!
