We have used Allen & Petersen Cooking & Appliance Center about three times now. This last time we purchased a box dishwasher that was on sale. It was back ordered, and it took a very, very long time to come in once we ordered it. Now that the dishwasher has arrived and been installed, everything is perfectly fine. It's very, very quiet, and we don't even know it's running when we are using it. We just turn it on and forget about it, and we don't hear it at all. I am very happy with Allen & Petersen Cooking & Appliance Center, and I know it wasn't their fault that the dishwasher took so long to arrive. My husband thinks it would be nice to be able to register the appliance right there at the store instead of having to do everything at home, but I know that's probably not up to Allen & Peterson, either.
