Very happy.
What brand did you get?

Big box stores are not always competitive. Currently, the big box stores serve best as a showcase. Find what you like in the biggest box store you can find and get the price and model number. Then google that brand / model number and find an internet site that offers a better price and possibly no sales tax or shipping cost.

Your biggest chore is to determine the size, brand, model style and finish you want. Consumer Reports can assist as to best quality.

We bought a Samsung French door (3 Doors) stainless several years ago that was about $2200 locally on sale. Got the same model from internet for $300 less plus no sales tax or delivery charge. Did not pay for setup but did ask for delivery indoors as opposed to curbside.

I used Appliance Direct in Fruitland Park. Good prices and same day delivery if you go early enough. Can order online if you know what model you want.

When I bought my last refrigerator (from Lowe's), they delivered and set up...which is why I chose to go local.

The nice part was they took the one in the kitchen out to the garage and took the one already in the garage away...which was perfect.

Lowe's. Use their credit card for a 5% discount. Great service. LOCAL

I would NEVER recommend buying anything from them. 7 weeks of eating for a microwave to arrive after they told me it would be there in 3 days. I had to call them anytime I wanted an update. Then they wouldn't waive the 98.00 install fee as a comp for my wait. Told them I would be in that afternoon for refund. POOR POOR CUSTOMER CARE! OR, LACK THERE OF!
