I need appliances!

[beselfish]

Just my $0.02, but if you’re looking for nice high-end appliances, look on Las Vegas or Phoenix craigslists. Viking, Bosch, GE—lots of quality brands go for pennies on the dollar (e.g., a coworkers’ Viking professional series range w/ the hood for $500). Sometimes it’s a squatter making a quick buck, but a lot of times I’ve noticed it’s just an out of work FB doing what they can to put food on the table or gas in the car before they’re evicted. You’d have to be a sucker to buy this stuff new retail at this point.

I buy lots of stuff on Craiglist, but I’m not sure I’d ever buy major appliances, although I usually look around there.

Major appliances are known to have little things that need tweaking (and not just once) or even major breakdowns or defects, and you definitely want to have the manufacturer’s warranty in place.

If you buy at Pacific Sales (and maybe other local retailers do this, too), they add another 4 yrs on to the manufacturer’s warranty with their additional service warranty (covers all parts and labor) for a very reasonable price. It was $177 for the extra warranty my GE Monogram fridge, which is almost the cost of a single service visit. I’m not one to normally buy extra warranties, but this one was way worth it.

Or post an ad on Craigslist. You maybe able to get a set from a nice house that is about to get foreclosed upon. 😉

If not mentioned previously, hit the sears outlet appliance center near the 8/5 interchange. There may be others around. Also, scour craigslist as you may find half priced like new stuff.

When I lived in DC, there was a sears outlet center in northern VA. They sold tvs there as well as your standard household appliances. I replaced my fridge with a brand new GE for about 300 bucks. The better score was walking in on a 60% off TV sale. I scored a 2000 dollar sony DLP for 600 bucks.

Its best to look around as there are deals to be had. Another source – Slickdeals (www.slickdeals.net).
