    What has happened to honesty and integrity Rices appliances have been less than ethical and honest . Last week I went in to buy a new washer dryer.Curt G***** the salesman showed me a discounted floor model that had a full manufactures 10 yr warranty it was pristine and clean but a floor model both my son and my husband heard him tell me it was a floor model never used with a full manufacture warranty I said I’d take it He then proceeded to ring up a sale the resulted in them delivering a used ,dirty ,beat up scratched up and moldy washer to me with a 5 yr after market warranty but no manufactures warranty. The washer he sold me was as is with no warranty. Oh and he charged me more than the washer costs brand new what makes it ok to lie to someone and do this .I paid over $2500 and he had them deliver something that was not what I had agreed to buy .It was an old fashioned bait and switch .When my son and husband went back to the store the machine I looked at originally was still sitting on the sales floor. On sale as a floor model. A friend of a friend ordered a new appliance and they delivered her a much lesser model than she had bought. When did this become acceptable . Why is this behavior allowed. I have returned the used equipment to them and had a new machine delivered from Lowes it cost me less It was new and does have the full 10yr Manufactures warranty . I encourage people not to shop with this dishonest retailer
