I bought a new stainless LG refrigerator 18 months ago from Best Buy along with stove, dishwater, microwave hood and a few months earlier an LG top loading glass door washer and matching glass door dryer.

First, I went onto Lowe's, Home Depot, Amazon and Best Buy websites and read reviews for a whole day. I found LG was excellent, but what brand and model to buy is up to you.

Where to buy? Lowes has their own trucks but deliver from the store of purchase. So you might have your heart set on a certain refrigerator only to find out the two closest stores are out of stock. Best Buy has a central warehouse outside of Orlando and virtually everything on their website or in the store is in stock. Also Best Buy will negotiate like a car dealer. First, I said I want the 10% veteran discount like Lowe's, they called over the store manager and he said, no problem. I got free delivery and a $100 store card plus the prices were lower than HD and Lowes, that's on the washer and dryer. On the entire kitchen I got about $500 off because I bought the whole group and these weren't advertised like the newspaper, but what I had selected from the website. With a single refrigerator, they be a little less inclined to negotiate, but try and go in a weekday when they're slow, and try and get the store manager. I went back a couple of months later and bought a 75" Samsung LED 4K smart TV for $1500 floor model that was selling for $2300. Again, I got the manager.
