Speed Queen made in USA. Setzer's in Ocala only seller in the area when I moved here in 2013. Check SQ website to see if any others now carry SQ. Not inexpensive, but worth the money.

Went to Appliances Direct for a refrigerator a bottom freezer with a single door, (no French doors).

Appliances Direct said, "they don't make bottom freezers with single doors."

Went to Home Depot, they had 4 models on the floor with single doors and bottom freezer, just want we wanted.

Bottom line: Just watch the BS from sales running down the side of their mouth at Appliance Direct.

Lowes if Costco doesn't have them on sale or the one you want.

Do not buy any appliance from lowes or home depot.. Speed Kinf--one and done-quality

Bottom line is appliances are not of the quality of old. Whirlpool owns the majority of US manufactured appliances like Amana, Maytag, Admiral, etc. Life expectancy 10 - 12 years with service calls every 3 years on good brands. Run as fast as you can away from Samsung. Speed Queen is the best by far but the cost will be 2x-3x. If Speed Queen cost is not 2x - 3x it is probably not their commercial grade models.

We went to home depot and purchased a stacked model which saves space.

Stay away from them!!! Very poor customer service and I am still waiting for a partial refund they promised in February.

This thread has been very helpful to me - I have a washer /dryer being delivered and installed next month from Best Buy - purchased a Samsung, but after doing more research and seeing the comments, I am cancelling the Samsung and going with another brand - still had time to swap out - thank you TOTV posters for the warnings against Samsung.

Wow. I just checked the price for a Speed Queen washer/dryer combination. They are on sale for $2,628. They look just like my $650 Hotpoint pair from Lowes that are still working after 6 years. I can afford to buy 3 more sets of Hotpoints and still be money ahead. No wonder "Made in America" is not working.

It’s doubtful your Hotpoints will still be $650 and my Speed Queen will still be working.

Best Buy. Good delivery and hook up. LG appliances both here and up north have been great. Best Buy's Total Tech covers all your items

Remember you chose to trade reliability and actual ability to clean when you buy your 3rd Hotpoint.

Best Buy
 
I buy at Best Buy, I have my computers and appliences from them. I have the tech. program and they take care of everything. I bought tv's from them for holiday sales and they were all delivered, hung and installed and It didn't cost anything extra. Also computer problems and deliveries free.

Thanks guys,

We just bought the Maytag brand at Costco for 999.99. And it's a gas dryer.

You're correct. It's going to cost me almost twice as much to replace the Hotpoints. I hope they last another 6 years.
