Reliable Online Source for Cooktop?

12 years ago

I want to purchase a GE Profile electric cooktop. Can anyone recommend a good online source? I'm tired of waiting for Sears to put it on sale :-(.

I just purchased a GE Profile range and MW (as well as Bosch DW) from Number1Direct.com out of St. Louis. They were great. Very helpful on the phone. They said it would take 3 weeks(maybe because of multiple items and different brands?) and they did arrive 3 weeks later and were very well packed and crated. I would use them again. You might also want to check out AJ Madison out of Brooklyn, but for me Number1was cheaper. I saved about $1,000 over buying locally.

*awesome*! thanks for the link petiolaris - I just checked that website and found a whole list of fantastic vendors...I couldn't resist and have ordered myself not only d capensis, but also some nepenthes seeds (are these tricky to germinate?) Thanks for the offer clay - I've ordered some already so we'll see how they sprout.

Thank you! Yes Renee, I was very sad to see it. I pulled it up and there was one root; I put it in potting mix and hoping against hope since there's nothing more to lose now.

Reliable Online Sources for Robern Cabinets?

I've ordered lots of things from Homeclick and never had any problems. I ordered my Robern cabinet locally, just because the store had been very helpful, and I'd looked at their displays to decide which one I wanted. I did order almost all of our other bathroom fixtures from Homeclick, and everything arrived in good shape and in a timely manner.

BTW, has this article on the best time to buy appliances in the Boston area. https://blog.yaleappliance.com/best-time-to-buy-kitchen-appliances-in-boston Best Times to Buy a Kitchen Appliance Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Any holiday with a Monday off is in play. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is usually in the middle of January. President's Day: Without question, after Black Friday, the next major holiday is President's Day in February. Memorial Day: At this point, I need to explain that appliance buyers "buy" twice a year in late April and late August. Warehouses are the fullest after that. Memorial Day has been a big holiday simply because it is the first after a buying show. July 4th: It is huge everywhere else but Boston, mostly because nobody is around. This year with price increases, it may be more important Labor Day: Circle this day on your calendar. Labor Day is the closest holiday after the Summer buying show, and many stores and brands will have a tough time without a Tax Holiday to sell products. Black Friday: Black Friday is the biggest promotional time of the year. It is the last time for factories to move products. Once again, some major companies, like Samsung and LG, have used Black Friday to obtain share by discounting their products.

We bought a 3 items from AJ Madison and was able to receive a bulk discount. Our electrician hard wired them and Fl. Joshua did the soapstone cutout. If I need servicing... I'll call Miele for a certified Miele service person. The cooktop was not bought from directly from an authorized Miele supplier but from a guy who dismantled EXPO when when they went out of business. It was a display model. A risk I know...but I saved over 2K so if I have to pay for service in the future...then I'll pay. So far, 9 months in and thank goodness no issues, it's an amazing cooktop.

Just enter the model number of the item you are considering to see who online has the lowest price. Then print out that page (that shows the shipping charges) and take it to your local appliance retailer. Many will match that price (as long as it isn't damaged or a close out) and you will have a local point of contact if any issues arise like it was smashed into a thousand pieces by OOPS. If you don't have a local independent, even Lowes or Sears will match an online price plus shipping although they might have to special order. Keep the money in your community! Kids need schools and the streets need paving and the little bit extra in local sales tax that you pay goes towards that.

Check with Plessers.com So far on the pieces I am looking for they are coming in at the lowest price.

You might have to call them too to get the prices. Just start a spreadsheet, make a cup of tea, and start researching.
