I've had good luck with the sears outlet. Purchased my FD fridge and my range there at significant savings. It is worth going out there several times and watching the inventory, as it changes. The appliance you really want might just show up one day.
Sears also has a process by which they make their reductions, depending on how long the merchandise has remained on the floor--talk to the manager about that and ask when they get their deliveries.

You do have to look closely at the appliances for their appearance, but the functioning is under the manufacturer's warranty. Have the salesman pull them out fully so you can inspect everything front, sides, and back. Both of mine needed some minor servicing and I had no problems at all with manufacturer's warranty services. I bought an extended 5 year Sears warranty for my range, but you can also get the manufacturer's warranty after purchase...offer came in the mail... and I think those are less expensive . Now that I have the appliances, I don't think that level of caution is needed, though. Good luck.

They also include floor models at the outlets. You can probably find something you want.

The only thing I've seen with many of the SS fridges is that the scratches and dents are usually pretty bad, not anything I'd want even for the price. But if you want other colors, you can get a great deal as those are generally in better condition.

Most of the ranges I saw were in excellent condition.

When I bought my fridge. I didnt get installation or owners manual. That was a mistake. When I inquired about a washer, they told me it was considered used and didnt qualify for rebates.

I bought our washer dryer there. No extended warranties. Both died after 18 & 20 months. Swore I'd never go back.

But then came the kitchen renovation 9 years later. Found a 48" Thermador stainless fridge for 50% off. It had a small scratch on the front, and the handles were damaged due to it not fitting into someone's house. We agreed we could purchase the new handles so we bought the fridge, along with the 5 year protection plan--because it does include maintenance each year on this monster, and any labor and parts. It was very inexpensive. Also, this would allow us to have the handles installed for no additional charge.

But here is where the story changes--we thought we could pick this up ourselves with the help of some neighbors-hahah. We changed our minds, and called Sears back and arranged for delivery. Somehow, they only sent 2 men to deliver this 656 lb fridge. After an hour or so, it was in my kitchen, even more scratched and with new dents. Eventually I struck a deal with the manager to have the skins replaced. He had me call the number for the service contract, I had someone come out, he took a look at it and told me he has NEVER worked on a Thermador. (So where did this fridge come from?). After putting the parts into "research", they have sent new handles, new doors (yep, the doors-not the skins--woops), and we are still waiting to have the skins sent to us.

None of this is bothering us because we are still doing the renovation on the kitchen, and it truly is the nicest fridge I have ever seen.

In the end, we will have a really nice fridge for 1/2 the price of what it would have cost. I'm just a little concerned about the repairman saying he has no experience (after 20+years in the business) with Thermador. He told ME to get the instructions from Thermador on replacing the handles, etc. Uh oh.

I would highly suggest the plan they offer for service, etc. It really is more than just an extended warranty.

Here's my fridge in the middle of construction:

I've had good luck--a few years ago my old fridge (that didn't match the remodeled kitchen but I was too cheap to replace) died so I needed to get my new one. We checked the outlet and they had the one I wanted, about half off. It was still mostly wrapped (the ones that had had food in them before being returned smelled) and we never found the dent. Or scratch. And it was delivered the next day, which is very nice when your fridge dies.

Full warranty, etc. You do see exactly what you're getting, so the gamble isn't great.
