agreed. never had a 'bad' purchase from Lowe's. up north we had an issue with home depot & a washing machine. sounds like the same story. now i avoid the Depot @ all costs.

At least they let me borrow a refrigerator have been without any appliances since Dec 14. They say it is LGs problem. I called corporate at LG and Home Depot. LG explained everything to me and Homedepot outride lied to me were very unhelpful. I will never deal with them again. Needless to say we are using our grill a lot. They are now saying Feb 8th. Homedepot has refused to lend me a stove.

The CITI Costco card still has the extended warranty (just used it 2 weeks ago on a printer) however most all the bank cards ended it last year except on SELECTED cards. Some AMEX cards still have it as well. They still will honor it if it was dropped as long as the purchase was made when it was available.

Yes, if you buy what they have in back but they often don't have the one you specifically want in stock especially higher end models. Best Buy (who I hate as much as Comcrap) stocks a few as well and their "open box" deals are sometimes spectacular if you are there at the right time. Our OTC microwave died and we bought one that was $400+ all over for $99. It was brand new, still had all the tape on it. Customer returned it because it didn't fit in their space.

I buy everything on Amazon. Check out reviews, prices on other websites, then buy from Amazon. At most, they might be a day late, but that's rare.

Why not try Appliance Direct? Located in Leesburg, great prices, usually two day delivery

I went to Appliance Direct for that reason. We were there Thursday, couldn't get the fridge until Monday, maybe.

Refrigerator design
 

My 28 year old refrigerator quit 2 years ago. The one I replaced it with is a piece of junk. Had problems with it within 6 months. What I don't understand is they had the design right in 1989 why don't they just build using proven technology instead of the junk they are selling now.

I think it depends on the area. My brother in law works for Lowes in Buffalo. They deliver their own purchased appliances and home goods.
