Their website doesn't show the sale of appliances, only repair?

It’s not a big part of their business. They started out only selling to laundromats but then people started asking for them so they decided to stock a few. It’s the only brand they carry and only as a convenience. I found them by looking on the Speed Queen website for local dealers.

Southeast Steel is the best in Orlando--deliver here.

ABT.com is the Way to Go
 

We have purchased appliances online from ABT.com. Their prices were great and the shipping was fast and free. As I recall, they didn’t charge sales tax either as they are based in Illinois. You may also contact them directly via phone, if you prefer. 847-954-4140

P. S. They have more products than appliances!

If you are getting gas dryer, check with your utility company for hookup - it was reasonable like $35. In our area Lowe's was incorrectly installing gas dryers and the gas company was out turning off people's gas.

Setzer’s for Appliances
 

Setzer’s Appliance has locations in Ocala and Gainesville, and a warehouse in Leesburg. Their staff is well versed in the appliances they carry. We received our washer and dryer the day we moved in. We replaced our refrigerator, range and added a better vent, and put a new microwave in the butlers’ pantry. I would never buy appliances at any big box store. I’ve heard too many horror stories. Best of luck, and Merry Christmas!

Not likely to be $35. Leesburg charges $100.

We bought Whirlpool partly because it's made in the USA. Due to the terrible customer service we will never buy a Whirlpool product again. Ever. I prefer to buy USA products, but I will find one other than Whirlpool!

New homes have GE. Yuk. Made by Haier . Would never consider buying.

Whirlpool brands guts are basically the same for all models. You pay for bells and whistles. Know the engineer who reverse engineer the product

Ode to Speed Queen
 

Speed Queen is made in America. The company is in Ripon, WI. Speed Queen has been in buisness for more than a century and is a division of a company that makes commerical laundry equipment.

I have had mine since 2015 and when we sold our northern house this year and bought another one in the same area, I had the Speed Queen set moved. Very few bells and whistles on the ones I have. They are workhorses. The washer is a top-loader, and although that is not the in thing right now, I like it. It is just a regular top-loader, not the kind with the tub so deep that you feel like you're going to fall in when trying to get the clothes out.

I think Speed Queen is usually sold in Mom & Pop appliance stores, not in big box stores.

I am convinced that a lot of appliance brands now have built-in obsolescence. But Speed Queen seems tougher than the rest.

OP, you might want to take a look at speedqueen.com and see what you think.

Boomer of the Tide

We got ours from Lowe’s. We had a nice selection, the prices were competitive, they delivered within a few days and did a nice clean installation. You may be eligible for a veterans discount to boot if you served. No complaints.

I too had problems with a washer & dryer install from Home Depot (fall of 2021). The installers left without the appliances connected to electricity, without the dryer vent connected & they had the gall to ask me to give them a good review. To connect to electricity a new electric cable needed to be installed & there was some other minor problem with the vent connection. I suspect if the install is not something an amateur like myself could do ie: plug it in & go, it will not get done by the 'installers'. I vowed to never purchase an appliance from Home Depot again.

Check out Plessers.com. They have been fantastic for us. Our new fridge was nearly $1,000 cheaper than the same model at Lowes/HD and they included a 5 year warranty extension at no charge, free shipping, and installation.

Great folks to deal with, and have been in business since 1919.

Sears on 441/27 is going through bankruptcy Righ now they are offering 10 to 30 per cent off appliances.
