I also recommend Appliance Direct in Fruitland Park. They deliver and no problems.

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

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.
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.
