We buy all our large appliances at a local store in the next town. They've been in business for over 75 years.

We may not get the cheapest price, compared to ABC Warehouse, or Lowe's, or Sears - but we get the best service anyone ever experienced.

I went in one morning, when they opened, to buy a freezer. I knew exactly what I wanted. I bought it, and they delivered it 3 hours later.

I had a TV problem not too long ago - called and spoke to the rerpairman on the phone. He walked me through the fix for it. Corrected within 10 minutes - no charge.

Karen mentioned washing machines. We have had Maytags, and Whirlpools. The best to buy are Speed Queen. They were first made for laundromats, then they turned to residential use. You know they have to be sturdy and reliable for a laundromat. They are the only company to give a 3 year guarantee on repairs.

Bought the washer and dryer last fall - love both of them
