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.
I immediately contacted MCA Customer Service and followed up after a week of not hearing back from them. The idiotic response from them was that if the room temp was higher than 70 deg moisture and therefore rust would develop due to the temperature difference. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I have had chest freezers out on the lanai of my condo in Florida for over 8 years with no rust. I think the real reason is due to the inferior quality of this product. If you're in the market for a freezer spend a few bucks more and buy a Whirlpool or Amana.

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.
