I think Costco is your best bet. If you don't belong, purchase a membership, it'll pay for itself. We bought a Washer and Dryer when we first moved here. About 4 years later I could tell a bearing was going in the Washer, ringing during the spin cycle. I called them and asked to send a repairman out or whatever. They told me they would send someone out to pick them both up, refund my full purchase price, and I should just go up to their site and order new ones. I did an got a comparable set for less than I paid for the first ones. I guess they're not kidding when they say if you're ever not satisfied bring it back. Well in this case they came and picked it up.
Now, we've also replaced all our kitchen appliances, when we first moved in and again last year. We've made those purchases at Lowe's. Had a little problem getting a stove the first time (3 deliveries cuz the sides were dented). After the 3rd time they told me it would be a month before they could get me another one in black. That was on a Saturday. Well I called corporate and would you believe they had me a new one that Monday!! This last time we again went to Lowe's and the sales person cautioned us, just about all these are made in China. They are full of electronics and they all break sooner or later. So we invested in their 5 year extended warranty just to be on the safe side and bought Samsung. Happy so far.
