Appliances, are you kidding me?
 

So apparently every most every appliance now costs $2,000 because it is color coded to match the drapes, with stanless steel and expensive glass peep holes along with a built in cappuccino maker brewing in the washing machine whilst your bloomers are being rinsed? :eek:

For Pete's sake all I want is a new white square clothes dryer for $300. Guess that is too much to ask? Rant over. :)

Our appliance plan is the same as it's always been: if one dies, we go to Sears and buy the cheapest one, preferably a floor model. The only thing in my house that's color-coordinated is the cat hair.

When I bought my washer/dryer four years ago (at Sears) the sales person tried their best to sell me the "top of the line" front-loading, high efficiency pair but that would have been close to $3,000! :eek: I explained to them that all I'm doing is washing and drying clothes. Does this pair fold and put them away, too? :rolleyes: Now, if it prepares dinner, cleans up afterwards and loads the dishwasher maybe we can talk. Otherwise......I just need it to wash and dry clothes. I ended up buying a basic white set for $750 and got a $60 rebate! It's still goin' strong! ;)

BTW.....I cannot stand the stainless appliances they have out now. They're almost as bad as the avocado green ones we used to have!

:ROTFLMAO:

Ummm...a slight exaggeration?

Please continue your :ranting:

:Popcorn:

I go to the Sears Outlet where they have the scratch and dent ones. I'm going to ding them up myself, so I might as well have a discount, too.

No I swear they are out there if you pony up enough money! :D

My dryer timer went out. I priced a repair and part replacement... $300 just for the part. So I'm just going to replace the dryer. For now I set the time on the microwave to beep after 30 minutes of drying time. Works for me!!

I think they make replacement parts so expensive so we'll opt for a new appliance. :mad:

We priced some parts for our dryer online and it was much cheaper than buying from a local repair store.
Probably depends on the brand though.

I can't remember which appliance parts site we used, we checked a couple to compare prices & return policies- just in case we had to return something.
