Best place to buy a washer/dryer in TV land
 
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 shopped at Appliance Direct on 441/27 Fruitland Park. Bought and had it delivered and set up...very satisfied.!!

Buy her headphones.

VApeople 06-16-2021 02:05 PM

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.

Veterans get a 10% discount at Lowe’s

Topspinmo 06-16-2021 04:49 PM

Maybe it just out of balance?

RGD1213 06-16-2021 06:02 PM

Just got ours at Home Depot (LG). Great delivery and instillation!

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.

She should go out and find a new
set and buy it. It is 2021!

nn0wheremann 06-17-2021 06:24 AM

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.

donfey 06-17-2021 06:29 AM

Agree.

We wanted Speed Queen also and got them at Desantis Appliance.

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.

justjim 06-17-2021 07:58 AM

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.

Best place to buy washer/dryer
 
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.

Make sure to check out MVB Appliances in Ocala before making a purchase.

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

Villages Kahuna 06-17-2021 08:43 AM

Lowes or Home Depot during Thanksgiving week or on Black Friday. Best prices and guarantee.

"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.

LianneMigiano 06-17-2021 11:13 AM

Delays
 
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.

Ben Franklin 06-17-2021 12:19 PM

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.

The Detergents - Leader of the Laundromat - YouTube

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!

gladesratt1 06-17-2021 12:36 PM

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.
