Designer Appliances was founded in 2008 when three homeowners with young children realized how hard it was to shop for appliances. We launched our online store to empower homeowners to easily purchase quality appliances.

From our inception at NJIT’s business incubator to our showroom and warehouse in Mountainside, NJ we continue to grow as a company. We currently have showrooms in Montclair and Bedminster NJ which offer a boutique-like shopping experience for all of our customers who desire high quality appliances to fit their budget and lifestyle.

At Designer Appliances, we have the in-depth expertise that can only come from delivering appliances to more than 200,000 homes. We will help you every step of the way, from pricing and research to delivery and installation.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-946679070, Sept. 2026**

> Russell took my last minute call when my old appliance failed.  Had me quoted and scheduled for delivery within 24 hours.  Stella (the delivery and installation team) was fantastic as well.

**★★★★★ — Mark Morehouse, Aug. 2026**

> Cinthya Guallpa was incredibly helpful, not only with the recent order of a new wall oven, but also previously with a new refrigerator. In both cases, she went the extra mile to explain the pros and cons of several options and was incredibly patient with all of our many questions! We highly recommend Designer Appliances generally, and Cinthya specifically!

**★★★★★ — Jerry, Nov. 2025**

> Friendly showroom staff. Russell was very helpful. Easy to work with. Good selection of products. They had what we were looking for and can deliver timely.

**★★★★★ — Christopher Blum, July 2025**

> Briana was very knowledgeable and helpful. She knew the products in and out and helped us with exactly what we needed. Very pleasant experience.

**★★★★★ — Paul Ludwig, May 2025**

> Jill @ Designer Appliances was great in helping us to select our replacement dishwasher.  Asked good questions and quickly guided us to the best options, comparing features between the two "finalists" and answering questions.  Check out was quick and proactive follow-up up through delivery was quite welcome.  Thank you Jill!

**★★★★★ — HU-86139384, April 2025**

> Briana was fantastic! She was professional, knowledgeable, and communicated effectively throughout our shopping experience for a new washing machine. I highly recommend working with her if you're looking for a new appliance

**★★★★★ — ladecoratore, April 2025**

> Designer Appliances in Upper Montclair is an excellent and unexpected great resource for kitchen appliances!  They had been recommended to me by 3 different people and from the moment I entered the store, I knew I was in the right place.  My consultant Russell Berta (also recommended specifically by 2 of the 3 people) was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, extremely professional and exceptionally responsive. He answered every question I had and quickly found out answers when he didn't know off the top of his head.
> I was buying 6 kitchen appliances and he was an incredible source of information on each and every one of them. Russell produced numerous quotes for the various options I was considering quickly and with good humor.  Then my order was finally placed, he immediately developed a "book" of appliance specifications for all of the appliances and shared it with me and my kitchen contractor.
> I had shopped at all of the "Big Box Stores" as well as some large local appliance retailers and found D.A.'s pricing to be extremely competitive but what sold it for me was the knowledge demonstrated and the feeling that I would have top notch professionals doing the installation and delivery and that Russell would be working with me until the end of the process and until I was totally happy with my purchases.
> Thank you for a fabulous and easy experience!

**★★★★★ — Thomas Romeo, March 2025**

> Kitchen remodel is not as easy as you think.  Colors, cabinets, countertops, functionality, space utilization, aesthetics, symmetry, oh my.  But Russell Berta made appliances a NO Brainer.  We went looking for a Range Hood and Drawer microwave.  Walked out with a Thermador deal.  Very happy with Russ at Designer Appliances.

**★★★★★ — HU-34762686110, Feb. 2025**

> Great store, wide selection of appliances. My second purchase from them. I bought Miele washing machine and Cynthia helped me to choose right one. Thank you

**★★★★★ — Ralph Tarnofsky, Jan. 2025**

> Designer Appliances made it easy to acquire a new washer that fit all of our criteria. Jill provided good advice and follow up. And the deliver process was executed well and in a professional manner.

**★★★★★ — HU-77765777, Nov. 2024**

> Russ was very knowledgeable and helpful with our purchase! He explained all of the appliances we looked at. He was a pleasure to work with!

**★★★★★ — cynthiar58, Oct. 2024**

> We went to the Montclair, NJ showroom to check out some products we'd researched online. We're doing a full kitchen remodel and need all-new everything, but we were focused that day on seeing a few high-quality 36" gas ranges. We were willing to spend a sizeable part of our appliance budget on that single item. Russ patiently showed us various products that met our criteria and discussed cost-saving options. We wound up purchasing a Thermador package that included all five items we needed (fridge, range, microwave, hood, and dishwasher). The buy-one, get-one deal meant that all five items cost the amount we'd planned to spend on the fridge and range alone. On top of that, Russ modified the deal when we asked, communicated so well, and even threw in a fun accessory for the range. The flexible and free delivery will make our overall project easier to manage. Everything worked at Designer Appliances—the financial aspect, the product quality, and the customer service. We highly recommend this store!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Great to have laundry where you hang up clothes, but** *(in Photo Questions)*

What do you do about ventilation to eliminate excess moisture in the room?

A: If you can vent that is always your best option.  However with some of today's condensing units as long as they are not put in a closed closet while running a cycle we really never hear complaints on excess moisture.

**Q: Like the hood. Who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Like the hood. Who makes it?

A: I am sorry we somehow missed this question.  That is a Miele 36" range hood.
