[net.consumers] Request for refrigerator and washer/dryer info

lamb@mhuxl.UUCP (LAMB) (02/01/84)

I am in the market for a refrigerator, washing machine and dryer for my new
home.  I am looking to spend about $700 for the refrigerator and up to $350
or $400 apiece for the washer and dryer.  Does anyone have recommendations
for or against any brands / models ?  Please reply by mail.  If there is
sufficient response I will summarize and post the results.  Thanks in advance.

Believe it or not...SEARS.

	1. They have a large variety of appliances.
	2. With as many locations as they have...service is not
	   usually a problem.
	3. The prices are competitive.
	4. KENMORE=WHIRLPOOL=KENMORE (built by major manf.).
	5. If (for example) the refrigerator goes on sale the next
	   month go and complain to the manager and they will usually
	   credit your account or refund the difference between the 
	   "retail" price and sale price (worked for me anyway).

I would recommend Amana or Speed Queen but you have to shop around for
the best deal you can get.
