My wife keeps giving me subtle hints about our present washer and about buying a new one. Every time she does a load of wash, she turns up the volume and plays Bill Haley and the Comets' record, Shake, Rattle and Roll.
Looking for recommendations as to where is the best place to buy one in TV land. Thanks.

We like Best Buy.
We bought our refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, and computers from them.

Get wife a new one quickly, or you will be singing (I can’t get no SATISFACTION)

Or get her an old fashioned board and let her do laundry by hand after she churns the butter.

When we moved here five years ago, we needed new washer and dryer. We wanted Speed Queen products. Our only choice at that time seemed to be Setzer's in Ocala or some other appliance store in Clermont. Setzer's had the better price and the lower delivery and set up fee.

Ken & Kerries Appliance. 3376 US-27 South, Fruitland Park, Florida. Purchased Speed Queen Washer & Dryer, little pricey, but if you buy anything through Lowe's or Home Depot... good luck, you'll likely only get 5 years or + out of those machines. Speed Queen is top of the line in the industry, everything is made of metal, will last you forever. Pay now or pay twice, an individual individual preference, but if your looking for quality that's the brand to go with. Stay away from Samsungs, they look nice, but are complete junk. Appliance Direct did not impress us, but just depends on what you're willing to spend.

Appliance Direct in Fruitland Park. They carry a lot of Whirlpool which is US made and has a much better reliability record when compared to the foreign brands. The store is no frills but both ourselves and a neighbor had great buying and delivery experiences there.

I got a great price for an Amana from Home Despot in Lady Lake on their Black Friday sale. The hook was we had to wait ten days for delivery. Don’t wait until the old one quits working entirely.

I am not qualified to do marriage counseling. I do think nature is a miracle. Seems as we get older your hearing goes. Just beware of saying yes to something you did not hear just so you can back to what you were doing. She never forgets. Twenty years ago you said.....
I remember it was a sunny day, I was wearing and, and and.
An amazing adventure.
Reality, if your washing machine is rattling around, your floor may not be level. Most stand on feet that thread in and out to solve the problem.
Be sure to have your wife pick up the machine so you do not hurt your back-can't help it.

LG at Home Depot. We have front loading LG’s and used for five years. Absolutely no problems and we find Home Depot sales person’s professional and knowledgeable regarding appliances.

As said elsewhere I do not do marriage counseling.
Others have said,"we decided." Translation she decided. He does not really care. She now can blame him for anything that goes wrong.
Long gone are the car ads with the babe in the low cut gown if you buy this car you will get the babe. Today one of the Japanese companies ran an ad, and I even let him pick out the color.
Only humans are so confused. In nature each knows their rolls. Prime example Jenner.
Too many women expect a guy to be their girlfriend.

We have bought all our appliances, washer, dryer, refrigerator and gas stove from Home Depot and Lowe's. All have been very good and reliable and the installers very efficient an always on time. No complaints on any of the appliances or the workmanship.

All of our replacement appliances have come from Lowe's. In last five years we've done the refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer.

"Too many women expect a guy to be their girlfriend"........OMG. do you ever have that wrong!!!! You are soooo lucky to have her on your arm. If you think that women are needing men for socialization....you are so wrong.
All the women I know will go to the square alone, to a bar, a restaurant, a movie, golf and handle the running of the house...quite well...all alone.
Look at how many single woman households in TV there are. They all manage to get the outside and inside issues handled.
I would guess the ratio of single female to male households is very female weighted.
Saying derogatory remarks will get a person nowhere...except maybe show how closed minded that person is.

We used "All About Appliances" 352-630-2202. Only needed Springs and shock absorber. Charged 55.00 to come out and look at it and deducted the 55.00 from the price of the repairs. Extremely satisfied and a whole lot cheaper than buying new.

Be prepared for possibly significant delays if the one(s) that you choose are not in stock. My son received his about 6 weeks after they were ordered due to shortages of workers at the manufacturing and shipping sites. He was totally without them during that time because the home he purchased came w/o.

Thank you for all of your replies. I did get a laugh from the one's about my wife. Yes, I think headphones would be cheaper, plus I can't carry a tune, so no singing ;-) Ladies, it's all good fun.
The machine is very level. I think it needs new shock absorbers but since it's 11 years old, a new one is in order. I do not want to go to a laundromat.

It looks like Appliance Direct, Lowe's, Home Depot and DeSantis Appliances were the most mention, but I will check them out and, yes, my wife will buy it, not me. I'm just doing the leg work.
Thanks again. I appreciate your input!

Be careful of Best Buy. I bought both a washer and dryer three years ago from them. Unknown to me the people that deliver and install are third party. I found this out when I had my dryer vent cleaned a few months later, and had a major case of black mold because they installed the hose for the washer incorrectly. I ended up going to Seniors vs Crimes to get my $6,000 back that I had to pay to have a restoration done and new cabinet put in. Since Best Buy didn't install them, they told me they were not responsible.

For 6 grand I would have completely redone laundry room and bought you new appliances. I think you reported the wrong crime.

Only if it is not on sale. Vets only get 10% off. If the sales price is more than 10% they get no savings. This apparently was changed in 2018

It is so much easier if you have a good friend as your significant other. As we get older I see many now are losing their life partners to death. I think it is fair to say that it is pretty wonderful to have a man be your "girlfriend". Or sometimes your mother, or sometimes your financial advisor and it is lovely for you to be those things to him, if you are in a heterosexual relationship. All those things still apply to all people. Having someone who loves you is such a good thing in most peoples life. I like the good qualities in both genders.

I always shop Home Depot or Lowe’s.
I would not replace ANY appliance unless it was absolutely broken and could not be fixed. Replaced my dishwasher and now it takes 2 hours and 45 minuted per load. If I don't wanted heated drying I can get a 1 hour load. My old one was 35 minutes with heated drying. Every appliance has been ruined by the new EPA standards.
Replaced my microwave and now the new one can't even pop popcorn completely. The old one popped a bag completely. The new one leaves about 20 kernels unpopped.
My sister replaced her washer and dryer and now she gets about 5 inches of water not a full tub like before. New washers do not have an agitator. A friend of mine got a new refrigerator and the door wasn't lined up properly for a good seal.

We ended up getting a new one from Lowes. It works much better than the old one, PLUS it is more energy efficient.

Since Best Buy contracted out the delivery and installation to a third party they are certainly responsible. $ 6000 seems like highway robbery.

20 kernels unpopped how awful. Our washer is a few years old and it also uses much less water but does do the job though a cycle is much longer.
No questions that current appliances are not as good as older ones. Way to complicated and will not last nearly as long.
