Mainstays never contacted me to provide their food gadget--a pineapple corer and slicer--that works.

Don't buy the plastic pineapple corer because the plastic teeth aren't sharp enough to cut into the pulp of the pineapple.Buy a metal tool.Because the company is Canadian, I didn't send by US Mail due to expense, and used Pissed Consumer instead, but nothing happened with Pissed Consumer, either.Also, you will notice on the plastic corer label, only Canadian address. No phone access. Like they're hiding.

Original review May 14, 2026

I want the pineapple corer's dull teeth sharpened so as to perform like its claim of cutting,and mailed to me without charge, [STREET_ADDRESS]

User's recommendation: Do not buy thi gadget. It doesn't work!

Warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Take it to Walmart; 30 days, Walmart doesn’t handle it, Mainstays must replace it.
  • - Warranty covered; I’d be called in 3–5 days, but Walmart refused.

They were worthless. They first told me to bring it back to ***, *** said after 30 days they dont touch it mainstays has to replace it.

So I called them back an they said they do cover the warranty an will call me in 3-5 business days. We'll they sent an email telling me to bring to Walmart again with no ticket number an Walmart still refuses it.

Loss:
$84
Pros:
  • Cheap but also cheap made
Cons:
  • Cheap

Preferred solution: I just want my microwave replaced.

User's recommendation: Don't buy that brand.

Purchased a comforter set for a completed guest room. It has been over a month since the set was opened and used.

I noticed that there is a defect in the design, and it's very noticeable because it's in the center of the comforter. If it were a sheet, it would be different, but you can see this misprint.

Loss:
$60
Pros:
  • Do have reasonable prices for decent products
Cons:
  • Contacting them about issues is ridiculous no response for weeks

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not purchase this bed set. It could have the misprint

I want to return fan which is faulty

Original review Oct 30, 2025

I bought a fan from Walmart. I did not open the box for 5 months as I was out of the country.

When I fixed it, it was working well. After a few days, the road-holding fan was slipping down; we had to adjust it all the time. Then, after a few days, the fan fell down and was broken. It was very risky to keep it open, so we packed it and went to return it to Walmart.

They told us to contact Mainstray. I was not knowing how to contact you; finally, I found a website and I contacted you.

Can you please return this item and refund me? Thanks.

Preferred solution: Full refund

Posting here won’t help with a warranty claim. Mainstays website has a “submit a claim” option.

I called 4 times and it wouldn't go through then. I did the chat and they're trying to charge me $5 for a tech to tell me why I can't open my microwave, why it won't start or unlock.

I opened this microwave mid-June last night. It wouldn't open or start.

There is a chicken pot pie stuck in there. Walmart said it's been more than 3 months, so they wouldn't do anything. They told me to call Main Stay. I called 4 times; it wouldn't connect.

I got disconnected and didn't get to talk to a person. I tried the chat, and they wanted $5 for me to talk to a tech.

Loss:

I couldn't get anyone on the phone. My countertop ice maker is maybe 4 months old and has stopped making ice. I'm hoping to get it replaced.

Just purchased a double burner a week ago, and the burners are burnt out already. I have purchased this item a couple of times and never had this problem.

It would be right if the company would replace it. It's hard times in America, and wasting money isn't a pass...

I will not pay for Just Answer to resolve this issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Replace the many candles I have purchased, which have failed to burn correctly. It has happened with at least five of my purchases.

Loss:
$20
Pros:
  • Price
Cons:
  • Sometimes do not burn correctly and only 2 to 5 hour burns

Preferred solution: Replacements of a better quality

User's recommendation: right now, anyone is better off buying candles which might cost a couple of dollars more but burn longer and, with a good steady burn and not just a bunch of melted wax.
