Barto Appliance

Not impressed at all. Salesman was very rude. We said we were looking for LG Appliances and he said good luck finding parts. No AC in the area where you look at the appliances it was 95 degrees outside. Will not recommend them to anyone.

This is my go-​to place for purchasing air conditioning window units. (And it has been since the 80’s when they were on Canal St.) I have, over the years, bought at least 5 or 6 window units from these guys. They carry only the best quality appliances, which might be a little more expensive, but they last longer over time.
For a small fee they will have someone deliver the units to your home and install them for you, totally worth it!

Wait. I haven’t written a review of Barto’s yet? How is that possible? And it must be instantly added to the are you a homeowner list.
I’ve been purchasing appliances from Barto since they were still located on Canal St (pre-​K). They’ve always steered me right and only carry brands that they consider dependable. Yes, shopping with them is a bit odd, since there is a small trailer attached to the front of a warehouse and if you want to look at the displays, you walk out into the un-​air conditioned space. But the prices are good and while you can arrange for delivery, you can also back your vehicle up and have your purchase loaded in.
This is the place to go if you need a sampling of window units to look at. They have more stock than anyone else in city.
But Steve M is correct, these are old school salespeople and you have to readjust yourself. Personally, I find the whole spiel pretty entertaining and they are not hard sell, but they do have opinions which is OK with me.

I was not as impressed with this place as the other reviewers. The salesmen are kind of strange with their cheesy patter and there’s more of an NYC vibe than friendly NOLA. The model seems to be to have high prices on the tags and then for the salesman to tell you the price has just been marked down, so you think you’re getting a great deal. Really that marked down price is just a reasonable price, which you can probably match somewhere online. That being said, if you do your research beforehand and know exactly what you want, you can do OK here.

In and out in record time to purchase a dishwasher for a rental unit yesterday. And deciding to go local this time was the way to go. I did my research on models and vendors beforehand so I knew what budget I wanted to stay in, what I was willing to spend and not. Ordinarily I give my business to Sears but I had some friends have a good experience here so I thought I’d give it a shot.
First off, conveniently located it is not, but you don’t buy here because it’s next to Grandma’s (which it’s not). Secondly, when you walk up, you see the warehouse, enter into an office, to get to the showroom. Set up a little odd, but whatever.
Within seconds of entering I am warmly greeted by Joe. Who upon assessing my needs walks me right to where my choices on the showroom are. Proceeds to breakdown features, costs, warranties, etc. I make my choice. Walk back to the desk, a little smalltalk, setup delivery/​install and voila, in like 7 minutes I’ve made my purchase for the amount of $ I wanted to spend and I’m out.
Looking forward to the install this Wednesday and hoping it goes just as smoothly.
