"My favorite customer is the one who calls an appliance repair company and ask what brand of new appliance to buy - Smart! Very smart! We know the worst appliances to buy and we know the best appliance to buy because we service them daily - though we don't profit off that customer at that point and time - our conversation with that customer creates a customer for life!"

Police Officer Fred McGilberry should have been a cook because the barbeque I tasted at the Galveston county cook off was amazing, mesmerizing and just all around absolutely delicious!

The Cook family seen below was GOFAR Services, LLC 1000th customer since the company incorporated back in July of 2011. Matthew Cook (seen below, bottom right) called in early Monday morning (March 5th) and made an appointment to have their clothes dryer serviced. A few minutes later the family was notified that since they were the 1000th customer their clothes dryer would be fixed for free. The Cook family also received gift cards to local dining establishments. GOFAR Services, LLC would like to thank all the customers who have had their appliances serviced through us. We know there are many companies to choose from and though we cannot fix every appliance for free we try our very best to service appliances same day, at low cost and on time.

Brian Gillespie, President and CEO of GOFAR Services, LLC has announced that on January 30, 2012 his company will begin servicing the residents of Dallas, TX and surrounding areas. What makes GOFAR Services, LLC special when it comes to appliance repair and how are they able to beat the big appliance repair companies such as Conn's Appliance? Simple, GOFAR Services, LLC is able to provide faster service to customers at much cheaper prices than the big name appliance repair companies in Houston and Dallas. GOFAR Services, LLC even offers same day refrigerator repair services in both these cities unlike Conn's who's wait time is always at least a week to have an appliance repair technician come to the customers house or place of business. And lets not forget about "The Big Name Companies" Appliance Repair's heavy service charge, I believe some companies are at $135.00 just have someone step foot into your house. Ouch! Now lets compare that to GOFAR Services, LLC service charge of only $47.50. "Big Name Companies" step aside, here comes GOFAR Services, LLC! Want to check out GOFAR Services, LLC at the BBB?

Las Vegas - Premium majap brand Thermador will introduce a full-surface induction cooktop at 2012 International CES.
Like all induction models, the company's Freedom cooktop uses electromagnetic induction to heat metal cookware without conventional burners, leaving the cooking surface cool to the touch.
However, the new appliance is the first to feature a natural-mapping user interface that intelligently recognizes cookware size, shape and position to deliver heat anywhere and in any shape across the cooktop surface, Thermador said.
Freedom also features a 6.5-inch, full-color touchscreen display that shows the position of all cookware on the cooking surface, controls power setting and cooking time, and performs live updates as cookware is moved to a different position.
A division of BSH Home Appliances, the manufacturer will hold the first public demonstration of its cooktop here at CES Unveiled: The Official Press Event of the International CES this Sunday at The Venetian hotel, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
"Induction is perhaps the most revolutionary cooking technology," said Zach Elkin, Thermador's director of brand marketing. "Thermador takes induction cooking to the next level by answering two questions with the new Freedom induction cooktop: What if you could place cookware anywhere on the cooktop? And, what if you can use cookware of any size and shape on the cooktop?"
To that end, the new cooktop, for which BSH holds 30 international patents, allows home chefs to place specially-shaped cookware such as griddles and oval pans anywhere on the cooking surface. The natural-mapping user interface also enables them to move their cookware around during the cooking process, which is especially helpful as different dishes are added and removed during meal preparation.
The absence of predefined cooking elements adds 63 percent more cooking area to the surface, providing what Thermador described as the largest cooking surface in the industry. The surface is powered by 48 individual 3-inch induction heating elements which output from 15 Watts to 4,600 Watts.
Freedom is expected to hit dealer floors this July with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $4,949.

Increasingly, U.S. appliance buyers choose the appliance brand they want first – then choose a retailer that carries their brand of choice. |
New studies from J.D. Power and Associates – the 2011 Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Study and J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Kitchen Appliance Satisfaction Study – rank the brands that give customers the most satisfaction, as well as reveal new trends in appliance buying behavior.
Increasingly appliance buyers choose the appliance brand they want first – then choose a retailer carrying that brand, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Study and the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Kitchen Appliance Satisfaction Study.
J.D. Power reported that the extent of this shift in shopping behavior varies slightly by appliance type. The largest increase was seen among owners of ranges, cooktops, and ovens, with about 44% of these owners in 2011 saying they selected their appliance brand first. This measure is up 6% from 2010. The smallest increases occur in clothes dryers and refrigerators, up 4% each from 2010.
"The wide array of product information available, particularly from online sources, makes it easier than ever for appliance shoppers to do research prior to making a purchase," said Jim Howland, senior director of the real estate and construction industries practice at J.D. Power and Associates. “Online ratings, for example, are becoming increasingly influential among many appliance shoppers."
The reports also found that those who do the online research and choose their brand before choosing a retailer end up much more satisfied with their appliance than owners who don’t.
The owners who say they did their research before visiting a retailer had satisfaction averages that were 20-34 points higher on a 1,000-point scale. Satisfaction among owners who select the appliance brand before visiting a retailer averaged 14-29 points higher than satisfaction among owners who selected the retailer first, then chose a brand carried by the retailer.
Despite the changes in shopping behavior, traditional sources of shopping information – such as the owner’s past experience with a brand, in-store product displays, and recommendations from salespersons - continue to be very influential.
The J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Appliance Mystery Shopping Report showed that many of the appliance brands that receive high overall satisfaction scores also receive particularly strong recommendations from salespeople. The recommendations can significantly impact brand choice and market share, especially when the salespersons offer compelling reasons for the recommendation.
Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Study
The Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Study measures customer satisfaction with clothes washers and dryers based on performance in six factors:
• ease of use
• features (such as the usefulness of settings available and appliance capacity)
• performance and reliability (including energy efficiency, noise level, and how well the appliance functions)
• styling and appearance
• warranty
• price

Samsung – for the third year in a row - ranked highest in satisfying clothes washer owners. Samsung's score was 834 and did especially well in ease of use, styling and appearance, and price.
LG ranked second with a score of 827 and scored especially well in the warranty factor.
Kenmore Elite ranked third with a score of 825 and scored well in the features factor.
The industry average score for clothes washers was 783.

Mystery shoppers reported that LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool washers and dryers are recommended most often by salespersons at major U.S. appliance retailers.
The industry average score for clothes dryers was the same as washers: 783.
Kitchen Appliances Study
The Kitchen Appliance Satisfaction Study measures customer satisfaction in three product categories:
• refrigerators
• dishwashers
• cooktops/ranges/ovens
Customer satisfaction is measured based on performance in six factors:
• performance and reliability (including how well the appliance functions, noise level, and energy efficiency)
• features (such as the usefulness of settings available and appliance capacity)

• styling and appearance
• price
• warranty

Mystery shoppers reported that Samsung receives particularly high recommendation rates from major appliance salespeople.
The industry average score for refrigerators was 759.
