Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

NGH1 11/1/2019

This replaced a GE dryer. It's a basic machine that does everything it's supposed to and very quickly. Clothes come out wrinkle free looking like they were ironed.

Doesn't always dry

Jacob62088 9/30/2019

The dryer doesn't always dry the first 70 min's sometimes I have to run it for another 40. The tumble gets hot maybe doesn't stay hot the whole cycle and the washer spins the clothes out pretty good

DKPA13 7/8/2019

This washing machine handles very large loads of clothes easily. It is very quiet and efficient. The only small deficit is that it doesn't have an alert when the wash is completed. But very happy with the performance of this washer.
