Our washer died and the cost to fix was a big chunk, the next day was Sun and we head out to find a new washer and dryer, we buy in pairs. Sat night, we researched the internet on good, bad and ugly. We had a list. We hit all the stores, Best Buy, Sears, Lowes and the independents. EVERYONE got asked the same question: Tell me straight up, you are buy for your family, your use, what would you buy and unhappy customers and warranty service, who is the best? 100% same answer...Samsung Powerfoam VRT and matching dryer.
Now to find the best price: We are driving by a Lowe's on the far NW side of town and it looks big, so we decide to stop there and get their pricing. We walk in there must be 25 of these things sitting around. And the price is slashed to say the least. Turns out this store had received their and another stores shipment of these along with a lot of others for a big Spring sale that weekend. They had far too many of that model and it was either pack them up and send them out to other stores or just sell them and that worked well for us so we bought a set and my wife who FIRMLY believes that a happy wife is a happy life tells me they are the best W/D she has ever owned and get clothes a lot cleaner...my clothes get dirty here on the ranch, real dirty with dirt, oil, grease rubbed into my jeans and shirts.
