I would try some independent sources, like consumer reports. You will get lots of complaints about the Whirlpool appliances the developer typically provides. In general I would rate these about average, we are on our 3rd ice maker in 5 years, at $200 each! IMHO, the more gadgets you get on the appliances the more problems you are going to have. Also, IMHO, stay away from any appliance that is internet (aka wifi) connected. In general these lack security, and I have know idea what you maybe opening up to from a security standpoint.
Good luck with your quest.

Which brand is most reliable? How about service?Home depot. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Sent dishwasher to be installed, something broken, could not install. Sent another dishwasher. Something broken, could not install. Sent microwave, installer wrecked kitchen paint job by dropping microwave on stove and smashing. Ruined upper kitchen cabinet in the process. SEVEN months later and after more than 50 phone calls, emails and visits in person to Home Depot, issue finally resolved. And people wonder why I went from blonde to gray...would never ever ever ever recommend Home Depot. Ever. Peace out!

I think that Lowes has their own delivery truck and installers, unlike Home Depot. So, I would prefer to buy from Lowes. I have been satisfied with the Whirlpool appliances, and there is a warranty and repair company in Orlando who regularly serves The Villages. It is Fields Appliance. A neighbor had a Samsung washer, and it was almost impossible to get a warranty repair performed.

If you open a Lowe's credit card you get 5% off their regular prices (even for sale items).

Quality control, in general, sucks these days. If you read online reviews for almost any product your head will want to explode. Four people will give something 4 or 5 stars and then someone gives it 1 or 2, saying it died immediately. Everything is made in China and it is cheaper for the big box stores to just give you a new appliance if yours is DOA.

Good luck.

Check with Setzer's Appliances in Ocala. When we moved here two years ago, we purchased a Speed Queen washer and dryer from them. They delivered to the Villages for a fee that I thought was reasonable. They installed both the washer and dryer. They have a large selection of various brands of appliances.

We replaced all of our kitchen appliances with Frigidaire appliances that we bought at Lowes and have had no complaints.

But you must register at customer service first.

We found that Costco had the best prices because they include free delivery, set up including hoses and cords as necessary, and free haul away. We looked at Lowe’s, Home Depot and 2 other appliance stores to get an idea of what we wanted. Costco had what we looking for on line.

Huge cult following on Speed Queen washer and dyers...H.D. metal gears, wiring, everything..Have to buy from local mom and pop appliance dealers, first rate warranty, service, no B.S....Waiting for my general contractor grade type, washer and dyer to break down(if they do) This, so when the time comes, buy Speed Queens, and be done with it forever...IMHO..

Yes my washer is a Speed Queen and I love it, best washer ever.

We had no luck with Samsung, the oven did never heated up to the set temperature. The french door refrigerator, the seal on the freezer door split and the ice make kept frosting up. Both appliances were only five years old, went to Lowe's and bought Frigidaire, no issues yet.

[saratogaman]

Appliance Direct on 27/441 just before Leesburg. Good prices, cheaper installation than most. Not a pretty store but it's all about the total price.
Also, Sears in Summerfield (Baylee Plaza?). I have done well with Whirlpool and Sears Kenmore (many made by Whirlpool) over the years. Our Kenmore washer/dryer are over 12 years old -- just one repair ever, on the electric dryer.
Do the research, especially Consumer Reports. Avoid the bells and whistles -- the more gizmos, the more that can go wrong. Ice makers and ice dispensers are perennial problems with many brands.

I know that everyone has a different experience but, a Repair Person fixing a control on my electric range advised against LG and Samsung.

[fsusix]

I have a refrigerator that leaks out the back about every 3-6 months. Appliance person been out twice - can't seem to figure out where it is leaking from. So I ask him - what refrigerators do you service the most - he said do not buy LG or SAMSUNG. The French Door (bottom freezer) are problems because if you don't pull from the middle he said they get off track and cause more problems. The only appliances he can gets parts and he recommended were GE and Kenmore. Also he said absolutely pay and get the extended warranty - he said you will need it and it will pay for itself. I need a great appliance person - I love my refrigerator - the ice makes is still working since 2009 - would love to get it fixed if anyone could tell me whom else to call....

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. :a040::MOJE_whot::bigbow:

We replaced all of the builder's appliances with Kenmore Elite brand from Sears 4 months after moving in. We had purchased the same brand a few years earlier for a previous home that we remodeled and loved them. There's a Sears appliance store on 27/441 north of TV.

[toeser]

Make sure if you buy a Korean brand, they have some form of local service. Both are great brands, but I have read that getting them serviced can be a bear.

We have had good luck with multiple Frigidaire appliances.

As to Lowe's and Home Depot, just go with the best sale at the time. There's not much difference between them.

We are very satisfied with SEARS. Good, neat Delivery, nice units.

I agree. I did two kitchens with all LG: stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and convection microwave.

Wouldn't recommend Whirlpool. I have had nothing but problems with mine. And its brand new. Now they are coming to replace door.

[Win1894]

Our LG fridge is OK. It's a French door style with a roll out freezer drawer on the bottom. By far it's the best layout of any fridge previously owned. My only problem with it is that it is the noisiest one we've ever owned.
