I bought mine at P.C. Richard and Karl's Appliance.

Those two stores actually bid for my business in December, 2017. I needed a mid-priced SS dishwasher. Nothing too fancy, as I planned to move in less than 2 years. Great price, free delivery and, very important to me- great followup customer service. I suppose it was largely because I was shopping on the last business day of the year that they were so anxious to get my business.

I would expect to get a significant discount when buying an entire kitchen of appliances.

Stores will have sales next month around Memorial Day, if you can plan for that.

Also, see if you have any "connections". The person I bought my cabinets from put me in touch with someone from corporate and I was able to get a great price on a suite of appliances (fridge, range OTR microwave and dw.)

I bought mine from Lowe's. The delivery went smoothly. I can't speak for the installation since my remodeler and his plumber took care of that.

we go to a private appliance store thats family owned. there go so out of there way to answer any questions and if you ask if they can do better on price and depending on how much the price it they will allways knock price down. and they offer free delivery, free removal of old appliance and if you need new hoses of what ever they include it free. first time i hurd you had to pay extra for a hose from big box stores i was shocked. years ago hoses cords or whatever came with a new appliance. if you looking to buy a new appliance good luck and if you have any mom and pop appliance store.

Same for me, Metro Appliances. Did a complete kitchen gut ten years ago and all the appliances were G.E. brand. The only "real" thing I dislike is the oven. It blows out hot air into the kitchen when in use and makes this on and off cycling noise. Annoyed the heck outta me at first!!! My previous oven was also a G.E. from back in 1993...it did not blow this hot air out into the room. I've complained about this before and someone here or on Houzz said, "Well, look on the bright side. In the winter when you're baking chocolate chip cookies you'll be heating your house at the same time." LOL!!!

My local Home Depot--just got a new dishwasher and a few years ago, a laundry pair. They delivered for free, took away my old appliances and installed my dishwasher. Also got the best prices there too. I did pay to have them take the old stuff away and install the dishwasher---

Sears for the Bosch diswasher and Kenmore range. Bray and Scarf for the KitchenAide stainless steel refrigerator. Both companies installed and the jobs went very well. No complaints.....prices were good! Live in suburban MD, just over DC line.....

In the past we have been Sears people, mostly because we needed to buy on credit, the extended warranty plans were good, and my brother in law worked for them. These days Sears is such a hot mess, I question whether or not that would be wise.

My preference would be a local store, but I don't believe we have any anymore.

I haven't really looked at Best Buy, We have bought a number of TV's there recently, and loved the help we got with all of those. I will definitely check there when the time comes for ours.

I bought everything on line. My kitchen is like the United Nations. My cooktop and hood are Italian, refrigerator is German and oven's company was originally from Spain. The refrigerator, hood and oven were purchased A J Madison; my sink and faucet were from Overstock; the dishwasher, a Kitchenaid 1/2 drawer; got brand new on e-Bay. The cooktop purchased directly from the manufacturer.

I purchased all my appliances and the kitchen was designed around them. Yes, it sounds crazy, but I knew I was going in the direction of a European sized kitchen.

We had always used a local appliance store. We wanted to support a local business. UNTIL they delivered our refrigerator. My husband suggested they go through the garage. It would have been an easy trip right into the kitchen.

The delivery guys wanted to used the front door and save some steps. They would rather deal with two turns to get to the kitchen. My husband said they had a rough time going around a built in bookcase and hall closet. We found out how rough months later.

They broke the kick plate trying to get the refrigerator into the kitchen. And said they would replace it. They never did. We called several times and finally gave up.

We had trouble with one kitchen outlet. We had an electrician come out twice. He replaced the outlet but the outlet was still blowing fuses. Finally called another electrician. He discovered the delivery men knocked off the light switch by the hall closet and just stuck it back in the wall. Of course they never mentioned it to my husband.

So much for using a local appliance store.

We also bought at Lowe's and we were not impressed. They showed up at 9:30PM to install our new dishwasher. And then gave use a very hard time. He threatened to not install the dishwasher. Because the water inlet/outlet was on the left side of the dishwasher and our water was on the right. He would have to use about an additional 3 feet of hose. My husband had a heated argument stating when we bought the dishwasher there were no special conditions for the installation. Besides the installation was additional money and nowhere on the contract was it stated that the dishwasher had to have water on a certain side.

Then Mistake #2 we ordered a stove from Lowe's TWO times they put a dented stove on the truck for delivery. My husband took off work 2 days. The first time the delivery guy made my husband look at the dented stove before he took it off the truck. My husband called Lowe's and the manager said he would take $10 off. My husband said no way it was a big dent right in the front of the stove.

Then we waited another 2 weeks for the next stove. Also dented. Needless to say my husband was not happy.

So we bought our washer at Home Depot. The delivery was great. The guys hooked up the new washer and took the old. We were very pleased with the service. They delivered on time AND called us after the appliance was delivered and asked us if we were satisfied with the delivery and the purchase.

When I had the kitchen remodeled, I needed almost all new appliances. I used Howards and had no problems.
