Contrary to popular opinion, Amazon.com is not the highest-rated online retailer when it comes to purchasing kitchen appliances. The award goes to abt.com. Abt Electronics is the winner as confirmed by opinion studies from Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports is a 76-year-old consumer organization who does an exceptional job when it comes to company product ratings so we ten to pay quite a bit attention to what the organization has to say.
The History of Abt Electronics & Appliances
Abt, founded in Chicago in 1936 and launched its website in 1997, the company is entirely focused on customer service. Isn’t that important to all of us when buying online? The company began selling small electronics and over the years moved into other products such as kitchen appliances and furniture. Today, the company not only sells electronics but also kitchen appliances, audio equipment, furniture, and even watches!
Abt Electronics & Appliances Awards
In 2021 Abt was Consumer Reports top-rated retailer for small appliances and in 2020, the company won Consumer Reports top retailer for large appliances. Abt also won the BBB’s (Better Business Bureau’s) Torch Award for ethics in 2020 and the accolade list goes on and on for 25+ years.

Since everyone wants to save money, this is always a great place to start. We would then click the “appliances” tab that will take you to the appliance section of the website and you can see a deeper inventory of products. Take some time to look around and see what you find. If you do find something you like you can save it by clicking the heart-shaped icon and adding it to your list.

Their customer service department is second to none.
Conclusion
