Magic Chef Reviews

On a brand new stove, the thermostat had to be changed twice. Then it was a sensor. Then the time buttons failed. The 1st two servicemen Magic Chef sent didn't know how to fix anything. The third serviceman did. Such a waste of time. Thank goodness it was under warranty. After a time, the back burner would not stay on. The warranty had expired. I will never buy a Magic Chef product again & I warn everyone that their customer service is terrible & the product riddled with problems.

I bought a Magic Chef compact dryer in September, and since December I've had a repair guy here 4 times, and again they will be here on Friday January 30th. I will never purchase anything from magic chef again. This was my first and last time!

Bought a air conditioning unit over the weekend and it's really not a good buy. It says that it could cool a room up to 250 square feet and my room is nowhere near that and my room is not cold cold but you feel a little cool and that depends on where you at in the room. I had to put a fan in my room just to make it a little more comfortable but for the money this unit cost you shouldn't have to go through that.

I purchased a deep freezer and 3 months ago the light went out and now it is not cooling like when I bought it 10 months ago. I am getting the run around with replacement. I will never purchase from them again.

I have had my Magic Chef upright freezer for going on 12 years. Most reliable appliance I have owned. I couldn’t be happier. Just keep it 5 inches from the wall and clean it regularly might last forever.

My Magic Chef over the range microwave (model MCO165UW) only lasted 4 years before it stopped heating. Getting it repaired will cost more than it cost new from Home Depot. When it did work, it worked well and had plenty of useful features.

Purchased a Magic Chef HMCF7W4 chest freezer about 2 years ago. It was kept in a guest room with controlled temp and humidity like the rest of the house. Recently we needed to relocate the freezer to another room and in doing so were shocked to see that the underside of the freezer was rusted badly - almost right through. The freezer NEVER had any moisture inside as it was defrosted using a heat gun, then disposing of the ice.

We purchased a Magic Chef 7 cu ft black chest freezer from Home Depot. After slightly over one year of owning it, it failed. This is very disappointing to us as we had read online reviews before our purchase and we expected better.

We were on the road when the refrigerator in our new RV completely died. We called Magic Chef and they said they did not make the appliance; they sell their name and have no responsibility. We had to go to the RV manufacturer in Elkhart, Ind (we were in PA), so we lost most of our food. They could not repair the refrigerator so had to install a new one. The RV microwave and range are also Magic Chef; we are awaiting our next failure. Years ago, we had a Magic Chef range in our home that burst into flames when it was not even in use. We have called it Tragic Chef since then. Use extreme caution when considering these shoddy products!

Do not buy a Hood Range Microwave from Magic Chef unless you want to replace it after a couple years. Called them because of a faulty door switch which causes the microwave to blow a breaker every time it opens. Apparently that is not under the 8 year warranty. Now have a headache to deal with. Thanks Magic Chef.

I’ve owned this dishwasher for quite a few years, at least over 15 years. I have never had any problems with it. Magic Chef is no longer in business to my knowledge, but if they were and I should happen to need another dishwasher, I would definitely purchase another one. I have been very satisfied with its performance to date.

Purchased in Feb 2021. Plugged in and waited for cooling in July 2021. Spent over $400.00 in food. Went out to take something out of my garage to cook. Noticed all food was no longer frozen. Checked plugs. Red light was on. Green was not. Removed some food and cooked it right away. Lost all other food. Was informed after a technician diagnosed freezer compressor was not working, I would be given a refund minus the shipping charge and the hundreds lost in food. NO ONE SHOULD TRUST BUYING THIS PRODUCT. DISGRACE.

We moved into our present home in December 2014. Having more space, we purchased a Magic Chef chest freezer a short time after. Unfortunately, a few years (approximately 2017) afterward, the chest went out, taking the full contents with it. Again, we purchased another Magic Chef chest freezer from Home Depot to replace the other defunct chest freezer. The two freezers are Magic Chef purchased from Home Depot. These freezers only have a life expectancy of maybe two or three years; we have lost $ thousands of food dollars without warning. My viewpoint is to give this product less than one star or no rating at all. What we have lost is inexcusable and deserves no ranking at all. The only "Magic" here is how it makes your food disappear.

This freezer really fits the bill. I have it in a storage building with little insulation and it has run perfectly summer and winter...just the right size as well and with the sliding baskets it holds more than it looks.

It is compact. The Compact Refrigerators are a simple solution for keeping things cold in any space, large or small. Modern design. Compressor cooling system for a consistently cool temperature. Recessed handle for easy opening and closing.

My home is very old, (1967) the very old Magic chef dishwasher is still in working condition and I’m very pleased with it. If I could purchase another one just like the one in my kitchen now, I would.

Glass top electric not easy to learn to use after having a gas stove but it cleans beautifully inside and on the top. I do not care for the surface knobs-dark and hard to read and difficult to replace after cleaning.

The saying "you get what you pay for" couldn't ring more true. Their products are very cheap, their 1 year warranty is the for a reason. You're buying a temporary solution, as evidenced by nearly every other comment on here. I have truly never had a worse consumer experience than I had with MagicChef and it's absolutely baffling to me they're still in business, especially after seeing everyone else having similar experiences.

I’ve had my stove/oven for over 31 years. It has operated properly for the duration. I’ve never had to have it service. The only thing that I would suggest is that the numbers on the dials be raised or etched on. After many washings the paint has worn off. I would recommend this product to others.

If I were able to replace this junk I would (I rent). The knob is broken to the oven, so you never know what temp it is. An in-oven thermometer usually tells the temp, but it fluctuates often up and down and does not properly bake. The digital readout is broken and you never know the time. There is not 1 thing I can say nice about the oven. The stovetop is fine; it cooks as it should. For information purposes, this is a gas range.

Was in my newly purchased home when I moved in. I had never had a Magic Chef range before now and I normally do not like gas ANYTHING, however, I Love and adore this white one. It's so clean, easy to clean, and fast cooking. I especially like that I can easily ascertain the instruction dials, very user friendly. Setting and preheating the oven is a breeze because with some ovens you can't really tell if it the clock dial or when the preset of off or has even started!! I can quickly cook my large turkey and pies. I also love that it's American made. I will most definitely look for another Magic Chef range if this one ever gives out or if I happen to relocate. I believe that last family used it for about 20 years, however, it doesn't look like it. I have never had to call for service or any kind of repairs. I definitely recommend this range!!! Happy Home!.

The smaller than average size works for us, as we live in a small home. I like the ease it has with electronic keypad buttons to select temps and timers. Only issue I have is it doesn't seem to heat as high a temp as I set it for, I usually have to either cook longer or set temp higher. That is only complaint however.

So our fridge did break after 8 months and they don't have any service providers out here but their customer service is great. They will send out the fan and control board with instructions. I didn't have to wait 9 months as I did with LG being lied to by call centers and people overseas laughing at our situation. It was like a breath of fresh air. Even with it breaking faster than the LG unit I would always buy this product instead because they operated with ethics, honesty, and alacrity. You have to go through an experience with LG to fully appreciate the difference. Thank God there are still some good companies out there.

This is for the Magic Chef portable washer.. great price, great size for apartments. Purchased the washer and dryer for less than $400 at Walmart. Works really good, really quiet. Is good for a family of 4 or less.

I thought I was buying a deep freezer, but I bought trash. I bought a Magic Chef deep/chest freezer from Home Depot. It worked for 1 year. Then the compressor died but the indicator lights on the unit still showed that it was working properly! As soon as the 1 year warranty expired it died shortly thereafter! Deep freezers are supposed to last between 8-10 years. Who would expect that this brand only lasts about 1 year! That seems to be the reason for the short warranty length, bc they know they are making complete trash.
