Friday we went out looking for a new washer. It was a horrid day for me, I had, I think, my 1.3 version migraine during that time, or it was 1.2 and resolved, then turned into 1.3. In any case, I was miserable, and the driving made it 1000 times worse.<\/p>\n
We went to four different stores, or was it five? Maybe it was three to four. [I should have written this post right away.]<\/p>\n
We went to Fry’s, and I can’t recall a thing about washers there, or maybe I can and I’m morphing those with another store’s. Hmm. I think indeed we did talk there, ah yes, it was that there were two models discounted $100, one looked good, but was out-of-box, it had be put on display, but they were now selling it. Another was a return, ugly dents. We kept the one in mind and went elsewhere to look.<\/p>\n
We then went to a Sears Clearance outlet for appliances, and they had Kenmore’s that appeared to be made by LG (an employee affirmed this slightly) but they were pricier than we wanted to pay, and knew for certain that we could get LG models for less other places.<\/p>\n
We then went to Best Buy and there the models we were looking at were priced same\/less than Fry’s (comparing new to out-of-box, etc.) and less than what we had seen at Home Depot (me online, DH in the actual store before.)<\/p>\n
DH was thinking of going to Home Depot and getting the 2077 — which there was $899 and they had some sort of sale on it (really just a mail-in rebate for a HD Gift Card) — I really had liked a higher model, the 2277, when I looked online. On Home Depot’s site it was prices $100 more, so was $999.<\/p>\n
We were at Best Buy and there the models were priced less. $899 for the 2277. DH and I agreed that the 2277 was the one we wanted.<\/p>\n
So then we went to Home Depot, and they agreed, at first, to check the pricing at Best Buy and give us the 110% price guarantee. Then the checked on delivery\/set-up schedules, and then came back saying they could do the 100% price match, but that’s it since the washer isn’t an ‘in stock” item, it’s a wharehouse item. In other words, it’s a ‘can’t take it with you’ item. This is annoying. Other than that, they couldn’t deliver and setup until Wednesday (Nov 1) and that was unacceptable to us.<\/p>\n
So we went back to Best Buy that evening and bought the 2277, and had free delivery for Sunday (not usually what we’d do, but it was the best thing for us, not having any laundry done for days, backed up before the washer died in the first place.)<\/p>\n
The washer was installed and running through it’s initial phase before 11am yesterday. We’ve gotten several loads done, and they have come out so nicely. The dryer has less fuzz than before as well, when drying different things. Towels used to give off huge amounts of fuzzy fluff to have to be cleaned out before finishing the drying phase.<\/p>\n
This washer is so advanced from our previous GE Profile top loader (bought in Dec. 1996) and I am happy to have it, because this is one area of life that is difficult for me to manage, laundry. Anything that makes it easier for me to do the work needed to get clothing clean is welcomed. For little me, a front loader is do-able to unload, and I could easily have my children unload the washer if I wanted to (our old washer was too deep for me to get to the bottom of without over reaching by stretching and standing on my tiptoes, and sometimes not doing so well at it at all, and the children couldn’t get most anything out of the washer.) It’s neat to watch the laundry go around and see the whole process, the difference in how something is washed from our old top loader.<\/p>\n
This washer will save on laundry detergent, water, and energy. It will also save MY energy, and allow me to take better care of our clothing. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
