Best place to buy washer and dryer appliances near TV
 
If you needed to buy a new washer and dryer where would you recommend? We are looking for someplace that has a good selection but most importantly will service what they sell and not give me a lot of runaround if something goes wrong. Lowest price is not as important to me, hassle free support and service are. Thanks in advance.

I would go to Best Buy, Lowe’s, or Home Depot.

First and foremost you need to find what’s in stock. The supply chain is still not fully functional. We waited for 7 weeks for a refrigerator to be in stock. At HD, and Lowe’s nothing available and no date for stock. Best Buy was the only place that had a selection in stock, and different price range, for washer and dryer. This all in the last 2 weeks.

If you can wait for a specific model, then I would. And unless in stock and delivery immediately don’t buy until availability. At HD and Lowe’s the fridge we wanted is still not in stock after 10 weeks.

There's a Sear's Appliance store in Summerfield, FL on 441/27 in the same strip mall that Little Joey's and Francesco's is in

We've always had great luck with Kenmore Elite....Sears now sells a wide range of brands

The big brick and mortar Sear's stores may be going away, but their service division isn't

Another place to look is "Appliance Direct" in Fruitland Park. Same day delivery if you see a set you want.

Over time, some on TOTV have reported their disappointment with that Sears store. It’s not owned by Sears but operates independently, and is not obligated to honor Sears’ warranty. (And Sears the parent co is also not required to honor the warranty.) Needless to say folks have been disappointed because they believed they were dealing with the traditional Sears and its generally outstanding warranty service. There’s a similar situation with Verizon Wireless stores. Most of them in this area are independently owned and do not honor Verizon’s warranty. Getting back to Sears, there is a real Sears store in Ocala. Not sure if the Sears store in Leesburg is still open. As you may already know, Sears is close to bankruptcy. So their warranties may be worthless.

Lowes or Best Buy. Home Depot would be a distant third. Appliance Direct would be an option, but only if you need to save money.

As much as everyone says prices were cheaper, the fridge, washer were either same price or little higher. The only fridge they had for our space had a Hugh dent in the door, but was available for immediate delivery. We passed

We bought ours at Lowes, was delivered promptly, did my research and got a good discount as a veteran.

I've had luck with Home Depot and just helped a neighbor complete a purchase of a low-end Whirlpool Stove at Lowes. There is no comparison in my opinion. Home Depot screwed up big time on their order for me but made it right quickly and owned their mistake. I value that. They also made a financial gesture that was more than I ever expected to make up for their fault.

On the other hand, the purchase of a simple stove from the Lowes on 441 reminded me of a Three Stooges skit Combined with a little bit of I Love Lucy. It was run lie and deny for all involved in their screw up. I must say the store manager did pull all the worlds together and came thru and made a stressful situation better.

I bought an inexpensive Sharp 55 inch TV from Best Buy and wouldn't give them one penny of my money. It pooped out during the 14 day Love it or Return it period. I don't like the way they do business. I was uncomfortable during the return process. My goal was to give a local business my money instead of Amazon. The item I want is cheaper at Best Buy but I'm going to go with Home Depot after I give Appliance Direct a chance tomorrow. We'll see.

A TOTV'S poster New Englander may have saved me by reminding me about that store. Thank's! I really get a kick outta the commercial that guy makes. Let's see if he can back up his words with a great deal. I hope he can get out of the washing machine. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Getting delivery of a new LG washer and dryer set tomorrow. Costco saved me $500 ($250) less than sale price at HD. Free delivery installation and hardware to connect. The Manufacturer will service the items not the store.

We have use Appliance Direct for over 13 years. Not cause we have to save, but because we really like them. Great prices, good selections and quality units that have lasted us for years. They deliver immediately and take away the old stuff. Lowe’s is our 2nd option. Though Home Depot is closer to us, we have found that we prefer the reviews for the appliances we are looking for at Lowe’s. I, nor my family, have any affiliation with any of those stores.

We used MVB Appliance in Leesburg. Great reviews and we had a very good experience

Sears appliance store
 
We bought from Sears appliance store in Summerfield. The salesman was knowledgeable and they had inventory in stock with quick delivery.

First thing to do is check Consumer Reports for ratings. They will tell you which has the best records and has the most features and has the best price. If you are military or a Veteran, go to Lowes as you will get a military discount.
