The Appliance Store Pittsburgh Residents Love

by Bill Welles

As Pittsburgh’s most trusted independent appliance dealer, Don’s Appliances has 50 years of industry knowledge and expertise. What began as a small, family-owned appliance dealer in 1971 has blossomed into a generational business that continues to serve the great folks of Pennsylvania to this day. Currently, Don’s Appliances carries over 80 appliance brands and has expanded to 10 convenient store locations across Allegheny County where we sell, deliver, install, and service all major cooking, cleaning, and household water products.

After five decades, our customers have come to rely on a versatile selection of appliances. Most recently, we have expanded our repertoire to include kitchen and bath features in our product mix. WATERSOURCE by Don's Appliances is our dedicated kitchen and bath showroom found at the East Liberty location. In 2019, we expanded even further, opening our first factory outlet in North Fayette selling discounted appliances and water products.

We have grown our business large enough to offer competitive pricing, but we still stay true to our values and the “white glove” service we were founded on. Our focus is always on the customer experience to ensure we are by their side every step of the way. From the moment you step foot in our showroom to the time your product is installed, our knowledgeable staff members are devoted to helping you find name-brand appliances that appeal to everyday people like ourselves.

We don’t set out to makes sales, our goal is to provide the inventory, displays, and services to help you find the right appliances to fit your style and your life. Whether you’re starting a renovation project or an appliance suddenly breaks, Don’s Appliances will get your home up and running again.
