5 Reasons to Shop Bekins Appliances |Grand Rapids
How is success measured? For ordinary appliance stores Grand Rapid offers, revenue is the benchmark, but for us at Bekins, we still think there’s value in doing it the old-fashioned way, where customer service is first. And we’re glad to know prestigious groups like the Home Technology Association (HTA) and the Custom Electronics Design & Integration Association (CEDIA) agree, honoring Bekins with awards such as one of just two businesses in the nation recognized as a “Member of Excellence.”
Sure, we sell appliances, electronics, and home automation, and we provide appliance repairs and deliveries, but we’re not like other appliance stores Grand Rapids, MI, has to offer. We’re Bekins, and this is why we’ve become a trendsetter for independently owned appliances stores Michigan and the entire nation has come to admire.
Get to Know Bekins
It takes more than luck to become the most trusted Grand Rapids appliance supplier. In fact, our founders Harry and Barbara Bekins, boiled it down to three major virtues:
✓ Family — We work hard to make you feel welcome and to create a truly one-on-one experience.
✓ Excellent Service — We believe selling great products requires equally great buyer experiences.
✓ Integrity — We break the mold by putting passion into everything we do, from helping our community to helping you create your dream home.
We’ve kept this trinity intact for over 45 years, setting us apart from other Grand Rapids appliance stores that focus on sales over service. By remaining faithful to our original vision, we’ve been able to grow from a humble repair shop into a multi-award-winning business with national acclaim.

Here are a few of our most recent appliance store reviews that Grand Rapids shoppers have left us that we love.
“…it was actually cheaper at Bekins and the service was top notch.”
We first came here years ago to replace the washer/dryer in our new home. I thought it would be too expensive, but I decided to give it a shot. With all the fees Home Depot was going to add on for various facets of the installation, it was actually cheaper at Bekins and the service was top notch.
We had such a great experience that we've now been back repeatedly to replace every appliance in our house over the years. They treat you great with snacks and beverages in the showroom and even helped keep my daughter occupied while we browsed.
We will absolutely be back for any appliance needs in the future.
“…better than the big box store.”
Ethan was knowledgeable and forthright without being overbearing. Price was actually better than the big box store and the service and experience was so much better. Why go elsewhere?
– Nathaniel Timmermann, Google

Why Trust Bekins Appliances and Electronics?
Bekins is a local, family-owned, internationally acclaimed appliance and electronics company in West Michigan. It started as a service company in 1975 when Harvey and Barbara Bekins started their own appliance repair business out of their home in Grand Haven. We still view ourselves as a service company today, but now we also sell, install and service both appliances and electronics across West Michigan.
Scott started in the business as an 8-year-old holding the flashlight for his father. Scott rolled in the first appliances when Harvey and Barb opened our Grand Haven showroom in 1982. After Scott bought the company from his parents, Bekins started offering custom electronic services and then expanded with another state-of-the-art, interactive showroom in Grand Rapids.
In all, Bekins has earned more than 21 national and international honors. That does not include their Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics or their Grand Haven Tribune People’s Choice Award for Best Appliances (17 years and counting!).
