Is this a good price for GE Harmony washer/dryer?
Comments (18)When I went to Lowes to check out the cost of their Harmony set - I had just been to the only place in town that actually had a set on the floor - RC Willey. Luckily I had the salesperson there jot down their price (it was on sale) on their sales card instead of just on a piece of paper from my purse. This is what the sales person at Lowes needed to price match. Unfortunately I didn't know about the match +10% policy they (used to?) have. Lowes here never said it was special order...just that they don't keep in stock on floor and have to get from their warehouse which is located elsewhere. When the sales person called for permission to price match - she told me she had to fill out a form with details which they previously never had to do. She was agitated with Lowes upper management because she said in this economy you would think they would do as much as they can to make a sale and keep a customer ... she's right. Anyway, she got the ok and actually they matched the price that RC Willy had written down that also contained the GE mail in discount amount - 5% I believe. I did go to Lowes mainly because of all the positive comments on this forum -- and there's something a little 'off' about RCWilley - can't put my finger on it. But I'm glad they had the GE Harmony on the floor so I could actually look at it -- even Sears here doesn't display it. When I read what your sales person said....I wonder if he's just trying to get a few more $ out of the sale...I understand HD sales people aren't on commission, but don't know about Lowes. Only downside is that I've had to wait 2 weeks for delivery -- I missed the cutoff date but they'll be here this Thursday. I'll write a review after I try them out a few times. So thankful to all on this forum and to That Home Site for being able to read about others experiences. Have a great day!...See MoreHelp! Is this a good washer/dryer combo?
Comments (5)If the washer is model 4044 it's a good machine. Basically an LG on the inside. We've had ours since April and it gets the clothes clean and is quiet. We also got the matching gas dryer (without steam) and had them delivered for $1800 so I'd say that is a good deal. I think the washer was just under $900 and the drier was a hair over $900. We needed them ASAP so we paid. But I think they are good machines....See MoreLoaded question: Good all around washer/dryer on the market today
Comments (27)I don't know much about different brands because most of my appliance purchases have been made at Sears. That has come to an abrupt end. The last two have needed service calls right away. My washer was one of them and I didn't know I was buying a washer that was "sort of" an HE. I have no control over the amount of water. I have learned to wash my large loads in the "bulky" cycle because the tub fills completely on both wash and rinse. My washer cleans on a low water cycle but doesn't rinse well AND I am not using to much soap. The jean will practically stand a lone when dry because there is soap left in them and they irritated my skin. I started using the 2nd rinse and they are soft again. While I was at Lowes a couple of days ago I checked out the washers. I did find a couple that allowed you to set the water level....See Morewasher / dryer brand - good ones?
Comments (28)I've heard good things about the spd queen. one I looked up was 900.00+! I got maytags back in '70 when my dd was a new born. 20 plus yrs later it was still working with no visits from mr maytag! about '93 one of them quit. I think the washer. my then bf bought me a new one. it got lost in numerous moves after that. I think it ended up at his house.... I'm hoping this one will work for me. I told the guy I'd see if I could get it to work for a few loads before I'd pay for a svc contract. i'll have to think on that. I think it was about 60.00 more for 5 yrs. parts and labor. might be worth it if I last that long... I put off delivery til next Tues. hope to have Jed come by this wkend and move that dresser so they can get it in here. and put up 2 stretches of clothes line in the dogs pen. that's the only place I have for now where 2 posts can be reached within a reasonable amount of ft. I don't want one 100' or more across the land... 2 at about 8' should be fine temporarily. later he'll put a post in the ground and run it from there to the back of the house. the dead trlr is in the way right now... btw, the dog hasn't been in that pen for over 2 yrs. she got used to the bed and a/c! tho, I might put her in there while the guys bring it in and set it up. she barked like crazy at the a/c man yesterday. it hurt my ears. but I know she just thought she was protecting her cookie source and home....See MoreToronto Veterinarian
