Who Rates Best (& Worst) in the Twin Cities Area? Now You'll Know.
|
Our research finds that Home Depot, Menards, and Mills Fleet Farm offer low prices, but their customers are typically less than thrilled with the advice and service each offers. Yet picking a hardware store doesn't have to be an exercise in tradeoffs. Sprinkled throughout the area, there are many independent stores that provide helpful advice, and some of these stores even make a reasonable effort to compete with the Big Guys on price.

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
|
As You Can See Below, Some Hardware Stores Get High Praise from Their Customers. Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
Here Are a Few Samples of the Thousands of Comments CHECKBOOK Has Collected on Hundreds of Different Hardware Stores.
