Another vote for Appliances Direct, but we bought ours from them 2-3 years ago.

Call Rob in Mt. Dora 352-638-8662. He gets open box appliances from all of the big stores and sells them at a fraction of the price. Full warranty too. We have bought several appliances from him and are very satisfied.

Washers & Dryers made in the USA: GE, while owned by the Chinese company Haier, are made in the USA. Whirlpool and Maytag (owned by Whirlpool), made in the USA. Speed Queen also made in the USA. Speed Queen lacks many of the bells & whistles, but is known for extreme durability.

I'll add another vote for Costco. I don't think you can get better prices and customer service anywhere else. When we closed on our home last November and couldn't find a washer and dryer anywhere, we went to Costco and had a nice set in the house and installed in 3 days.

Purchased commercial Speed Queen washer and dryer, gas, three years when we moved in. Bray and Scarff has excellent prices. In Maryland at the moment but great deal from a company up north that delivered both and the installation was easy.

Best Buy has an outlet in Ocoee, near Orlando. We were told that Tuesday was the best day to shop, as they brought new mdse in on Monday. You have to be careful, as you are picking out the exact machine you will receive. Make sure everything you need for installation is there. We picked out a dishwasher that was missing a couple of things and it couldn’t be installed, and they don’t provide them. We ended up with a nice one, just not the one we picked out. Really good prices.

Consumer Reports LG products as having the highest ratings. Samsung did not do well. Home Depot or Lowes have descent selection and deliver.

FWIW... When we bought our home last year, of course it didn't come with the washer and dryer. We wanted a gas dryer so our choices were limited. I shopped around at the damaged Applicance store, sorry forgot their name, but no gas there. We'd bought at one in MN and had great luck and server from them. We then did the Lowes, Home Depot and Best Buy route. We ended up at Lowes based on price and availability. We bought Maytag front load washer and a gas dryer. Both showed up on the day the were scheduled without any issues.
We recently bought an extra refrigerator from Best Buy, again after shopping around at Lowes and Home Depot. They had what we wanted at a good price. We took deliver as scheduled but when it arrived the door swing was the wrong way. We asked them to change it as I've done this many times in the past, and they refused because it wasn't on the work order. Called Best Buy and they would not talk to me until a week later they called back. Then told me I had to pay $50 to get the door changed and I've have to come into the store to pay for it. I've shopped Best Buy for well over 30 years, before it was Best Buy.... I've bought many appliances and I have never been treated or talked to this way before. Not sure I'll be giving them any more of my business. Just my 2 cents worth.... |

When I bought my house 6 years ago, I bought the cheapest washer and dryer that Lowes sold for about $650. They are called Hotpoint. They still wash and dry my clothes today. I can't imagine why I would need to buy anything more fancy, or read Consumer Reports.
