What you can expect at our Toronto appliance store

In Scarborough, Canadian Appliance Source is in a class of its own 

Home owners, home renters, home builders, home designers and  home renovators from all over Scarborough make their way to Warden and Eglinton for their home appliances. 

Because they know.

They know that having a large list of home appliance brands is meaningless without a range of price points, styles and trims under each umbrella.

They know home appliances aren’t cheap, and so they demand a certain level of customer service. And they expect every retailer to over-perform.

They know they’re not experts in home appliances, and so they want to be educated.

They know that having a go-to place for something like home appliances is a good thing, but they’ll have to know that the place can deliver consistently on all its promises. And they’ll want to know that they’re being heard. 

We know. 

We knew when we started the company back in 2008 that a gaping hole existed in the home appliance industry: there was no one retailer with a massive selection of fairly priced home appliances, sold by people who get that home appliances are more than machines that do stuff. They open the door to possibility.

A fridge is a fridge?

It may seem that way, but that’s how home appliances work. The effects are gradual but meaningful.

So let’s take that fridge, for example. Let’s say its fruit and vegetable crispers were three inches taller. That’s half a foot of extra space for healthy food in your fridge that you can take advantage of every time you go food shopping, either with more of what you love to eat or something new to sample. Maybe you’ll try one new fruit or vegetable a month? Maybe you’ll start pressing your own orange juice? Maybe you’ll take up making elaborate smoothies? You’ll definitely be eating healthier, because you’ll have the room to do it.

Now, what if that new fridge was paired with a new oven that had a strong convection feature? You could roast some of the new vegetables you try for the first time, and the convection feature would give them a clean crispness you can’t get any other way.

That crisping ability could be the impetus you need to try new styles of cooking, incorporate new recipes into your repertoire and maybe raise your hand to host Christmas dinner when you ordinarily wouldn’t dream of such a thing.

These are the kinds of things we train our staff to think about when they dive deep into a product we carry: How is this home appliance going to benefit its owners’ real lives? What kind of person would be best suited for this home appliance?

In this way, Canadian Appliance Source stands alone. No other retailer can match the passion we have for the incredible selection of home appliances, the appreciation we have for how the right home appliance can be a legitimate agent of change, or the approach we take to matching customers to the best home appliances for them. 

Our showroom selection is in a class of its own

You’ll find home appliances from all the major and boutique brands. Up and down the aisles of our showroom and from page to page on our website, you’ll see home appliances from Samsung, LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Café, Frigidaire, JennAir, Electrolux, Monogram and more.

And under each brand umbrella, you’ll find a range of price points and styles to satisfy anyone who walks in the door.

For us, a healthy price range is simply the right thing to do. The manufacturers we feature in our store and on our website have done amazing things with their economy options (we wouldn’t feature them otherwise). On the other side of the price coin, we know that people with a passion for food or fashion will see the higher price of a premium home appliance as the cost of pursuing a dream. It’s our job to help them realize that dream.

As for the range of styles, after almost a decade and a half, one thing we’ve learned unequivocally is that every home appliance shopper is looking for something different, be it how it looks, how it works, how it fits or how it’s going to be used. So we make sure we have the right fridge, oven, stove/range, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine and/or dryer for you. You’ll get every benefit you’re looking for. You’ll pay a fair price for the features you want in a home appliance. And you’ll feel good about the whole experience.

Our customer service is in a class of its own

Most of our customers shop around; they visit our competitors. But unlike them, we encourage it. We want them to experience all kinds of customer service because it’s how they’ll know for sure that ours is the best.

We want our customers to ask our competitors the same questions they ask us and compare the thoughtfulness of the responses. The differences will be easy to spot — our passion for home appliances and how they can improve lives comes through. 

It also comes through in the questions we’ll ask you when we first start working with you. We start by getting to know you, the kind of life you lead now and the kind you want to be living. We’ll talk about what you value generally and specifically in home appliances. And we’ll talk about how you think a new home appliance could bring added value to your life. This will be the first set of data we use to build our recommendations.

We’ll get the second set of data by asking about the kitchen or laundry room you’re planning to put your new home appliance in. We’ll ask about the size of the room, the colour of the room, the vibe of the room and any future plans you have for the space.

The third data set will be about price. And we’ll be honest about what you can expect for what you’re willing to pay.

Through it all, we’ll present the information in a simple, easy-to-understand way because we know you’re not an expert in home appliances, but you’re most definitely an expert in your own life. So we explain things from that angle.

Our approach stands alone

The best example of our unique approach is how we feel about the “best brand” argument. In short, we don’t buy it.

The review industry that has sprouted up within the home appliance sector is great for the people writing them and earning off the eyeballs that visit their “best brands” lists. But it’s no good for regular customers looking for a home appliance because it doesn’t matter what the reviewers, bloggers and “experts” have to say about a home appliance. 

The only opinion that matters is yours, and we understand that. That’s why we prefer the term “best brand for you.” We’ll give you the truth about any fridge, oven, stove/range, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine and/or dryer you want to know about; you can decide for yourself if it’s best.

This objectivity is what has earned the trust of home appliance shoppers in Scarborough, the eastern GTA and the surrounding areas.

Our location stands apart

Our Scarborough showroom is just southwest of the SW corner of Eglinton Avenue East and Warden Avenue. It’s two minutes from Eglinton East, and so easy to get to from anywhere in Scarborough or the eastern GTA.

The convenient location is good for both our commercial and residential customers. The former tends to appreciate our proximity to RONA Home and Garden, Canadian Tire and Lowe’s. The latter likes how close we are to Metro, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart and the movie theatre. Both enjoy the variety of food options around us, from the quick bites at McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Pizza Pizza to the sit-down-and-relax vibe at places like Eggsmart, Hakka Legend Asian Cuisine and The Real Greek.  

But before you visit, poke around this website

You’ll find comprehensive breakdowns of every fridge, refrigerator, oven, stove/range, microwave oven, cooktops, dishwasher, washer, washing machine and dryer we sell. You’ll be able to review their features, see their prices and get a look at each one to see if it matches your style.

Even if you spend just five minutes flipping through our selection, you’ll start to get an idea of what you like and don’t like, the features you need to have versus the features you’d like to have but could live without. And you’ll get a feel for prices so you know what to expect when you come into the Scarborough showroom. A bit of information is all we need to get a head start. 

If you’ve previously bought appliances at any Canadian Appliance Source showroom in Ontario (or Canada for that matter), we’ll already have a bit of information about you saved in our database. But please do update us if anything’s changed so we can build that into our recommendation process.

Our selection stands alone. Our customer service stands alone. Our approach stands alone. That’s why home appliance shoppers in Scarborough always visit us.

See you in the showroom.
