It's about time to move into our new construction home out in Victoria Pointe. They include the stove and dish washer but we did not get the refridgartor. All the appliances in the house will be black GE! Ok with all of that being said I have a few questions. The first is who is a good place to buy from? We like lowes and being military they give 10% off. The sales at H.H. Gregg seem amazing. Are they to good to be true? And in your opinion what is a good refridgartor and why? I'm not locked into GE just because the rest are. I want something that will last us a while and look nice. Not looking to break the bank either! Lol. Also any delivery experience? I don't want anyone who will mess up our home. Thanks so much!!!
hh gregg is fine. We have bought some appliances from there over the years. They sell the same brands as the other places and if it is cheaper -- well that makes it even better.
Go to any one of the larger chains and pick out what you think you need, price it and then comparison shop. Sears had some decent pricing in their appliances when we were looking. I recently bought a second fridge and ended up getting it from Lowe's -- free shipping and all.
We've bought from HH Gregg in Charlotte and it was a great experience. We bought our washer/dryer through them. I think at the time they offered free detergent for a year as a promotion with the certain model we bought. I would not hesitate to buy from them again. Not sure if all stores are created equal, though. Their prices are not too good to be true..... They offer really good promotions.
We tend to buy our appliances at Lowes. Our most recent purchase was a Whirlpool French door fridge (about 1.5 years old). The surface already has "mineral deposits" and is out of warranty to cover that problem. I love the fridge but hate that the quality of the material was so suckish that it has rust spots. I know it isn't just ours, as my brother has the exact same model and same issue. I've also read online about other people with the same issue. UGH, such a large purchase to have it look dirty in certain areas.
A particular appliance will be the same no matter where you purchase it. Go with whoever has the lowest price. If you prefer to shop somewhere in particular, see if they will price match the lowest offer.
Our new construction, like many, did not include the refrigerator...but we asked for it in the negotiation stage. We got them to give us one...and then we paid the difference to have it upgraded.
Go online, find the model you want, find the lowest price you can find online that has a brick n mortar store. We used one from New York, don't recall the name.
print out the price, take it to Lowes, they'll look it up and if it's legit and they have the same model, etc, they'll price match plus give an additional 10%. We did this and saved several hundred $ over what we would have paid had we not done so.
I also like Best Buy for appliances as they might match Lowes 'lowest' price.
You just gotta ask and threaten to take your business elsewhere.
You can also find very good appliances for excellent deals at Costco if you are a member. They do not have as big a selection, but usually carry very good products when they have them.

. They offer really good promotions. 
We always get our appliances at Lowes, though, because of the military discount.
