Black Friday bait-and-switch on a KitchenAid dishwasher – AVOID BEST BUY APPLIANCES
Ordered a KitchenAid KDTE304RPS dishwasher on Black Friday 2025 for $549.99 (regular price $949.99). They happily took my money, showed it as “in stock,” and promised pickup within days. A month later – after I’ve been hand-washing dishes the entire time – they cancel the order claiming the model was “discontinued by the manufacturer.”
Then they try to upsell me the upgraded KDTS424SPS for $932 – almost double what I originally paid. After two hours on chat, six transfers, being called “Jose” repeatedly, and endless deflections, no manager would honor the original Black Friday price or even come close. They admitted they never had the item but still refuse to make it right. Classic bait-and-switch.
I wasted an entire afternoon being bounced between clueless agents while Lowe’s has the exact same upgraded model in stock today for $899 with no drama. Best Buy’s “Holiday Price Match Guarantee” is apparently meaningless when they cancel your order first.
Never again. Will be taking all future appliance business to Lowe’s or anywhere that actually honors their deals. Refund finally processed, but the aggravation and lost time are unforgivable. Zero stars – do not trust Best Buy with Black Friday or appliance orders.
