My washer and dryer are from Plaza on Monroe Rd... felt like I got a good deal. Dryer made a horrible noise the first time I used it and they replaced it next day. No problems since. They charge for delivery.

I'm getting ready to buy a dishwasher because my current model is leaking and came with the house. I tried BB Concord but their scratch and dents were really scratched and dented this time. I'll probably wait until the November Energy star tax credit unless I find a deal that's too good to pass up.

I looked at HHGregg but the prices were a little high IMO... didn't try to negotiate though because I was just doing a price comp.
Lowe's usually has dishwashers in their clearance section and are negotiable. I bought a really nice Bosch one there last year.

We bought a packaged deal this weekend (since we are doing a kitchen remodel)... and out of all the available options (online vs in-store) .. we found Sears givign out the best !!

but yes - it was time-sensitive.. we needed the appliances now.. and sears had this 25% off 3 or more appliances.. so it worked out.. also we got the brands we wanted !

they even gave us in writing that if the price for any of the appliances come down in the next 60 days they are going to match it...

I'm looking at a Lowe's flyer now. Some savings as low as $143 on a 4-piece suite, another $354, and another $527. They are worth it if you want those identical appliances. My attention was also caught by $850 off on a French-door refrigerator. You just have to do the comparisons vs. you would prefer to have.

Remember if you are buying stainless, the "colors" are different when mixing brands. We compare LG with Samsung and there is a very noticeable difference in the appearance.

Lowes mailed us the flyer last week, but there are some better prices online. You have to be careful about some with "Satina Steel" finishes, as it isn't really stainless steel.

Lowes price-matches to competitors, and beats them by 10%. I'm moving into a new house in late-September and I found that out a couple weeks ago. I bought this fridge from Best Buy for $2,000 a few weeks back, but I declined their extended warranty because of the price (maybe $350?). I went to Lowe's the next day, and they matched the $2,000 plus gave me 10% off. Since their extended warranty was closer to $150, I made out like a bandit.

When I bought a washer/dryer last week, they price-matched to Home Depot plus I was eligible for a $160 rebate.

So if you want to buy locally and want an extended warranty, I'd just look for the best price among Best Buy, HH Gregg and Home Depot, then ask Lowe's to match it plus 10% off.

Is there a Sears Outlet in the Charlotte area? That's where we got some of our appliances here in NY and got 50% off a brand new Samsung French door refrigerator because there was a tiny dent on one of the sides. Great place to look for scratch and dents, though it can all be hit or miss.
