RANT: Appliances

[bob2007]

I’ve had a number of GE monogram appliances as I’ve moved around. Some purchased from pacific sales. My experience with pacific sales was quite good. I went with a less expensive model, which was delivered and installed. A few weeks later I decided I liked the more expensive one, (about $350) better. They gave me full credit on the old one, and I only had to pay the new deliver charge. Thats more than I expected.

This was before best buy bought them, so I don’t know if its different now. But for those posting that they would buy from best buy first, you many not realize they have the same ownership.

I buy cheap appliances (not the very cheapest, but pretty cheap) and when they break I throw them away and buy new ones.

Appliances are basically the same underneath it all.

We’ve had good luck with Kenmore… Sears doesn’t manufacture them – but they do insist on an amount of quality. Our fridge is LG, for example, behind the kenmore label. (We buy LG water filters for it.)

The tip on the sears outlet down on Sherman (off of Morena, near the 5/8 interchange) is a good one.

And I’m a HUGE fan of the french door fridge. We can fit ANYTHING in it. I love the efficiency of the bottom drawer freezer also.

We bought an Amana white 25 cf sbs 12 years ago for about $1100. Moved twice and had the doors removed twice (in & out) on first 2 places. Had no problems with the ice maker or switches. I purposely bought with separate Ice/Water dispensers, so you don’t switch between ice and water, only between cubes and crushed ice. Also, simple mechanical slide switches, not those membrane pressure switches or levers.

Only minor issues: internal plastic water container doesn’t chill water to temp of refrigerator, probably too thick (under constant pressure); handles started to discolor and crack, but after 11 years of marriage, so am I.

Wife wants to remodel kitchen and compressor is starting to get noisy, so it may have a few years left, the refrigerator, not the wife…

Will probably buy a new one after the remodel, the kitchen, not the wife… although she does want a tummy tuck…
