Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Bseb 7/14/2022

Just purchased the dryer to complete the washer/dryer set for laundry. The features are perfect for our household.. dewrinkle to be specific! Lol. To connect the two machines via wifi and help the laundry cleaning process to be better is great. Love the products!

Washer Link is no-brainer

Moody15 4/5/2022

My dryer stays on washer link 100% of the time! Washer and dryer are stacked and I am 5'2" so reaching the dial is easy, but I can't always see what option is selected. With washer link, all I ever have to do is hit the start button and I know my clothes are on the right setting and I don't have to worry about it!

DKindel 3/26/2022

Dryer works well, much faster and quieter than my previous one. Does a great job of not over-drying the laundry. One word of caution, don't bother with the side vent kit, it's a pain to install, doesn't stay in place, and doesn't actually save much space in the back.

Arquioso 2/21/2022

We upgraded from a 15 year old washer/ dryer set, so maybe my bar was low, but this dryer works great! Our clothes are dry and fluffy in half the time our old dryer took, and there isn't a much heat lost through the side of the unit, either.

Coko720 2/20/2022

Well, the installers didn't install the washing machine properly. So we called the store because the washing machine was dripping water, they just fixed the tube that was draining. It is good now.

Great washer, came with a faulty part!

New to OK 2/14/2022

Husband sells appliances as a career, we purchased the washer and dryer pair for our new home. Washer was delivered and installed, faulty electronics, kept tripping the breaker as soon as pump was initiated. We reported the issue, took 3 weeks for the part to come in and repair was done in good time. Our sales provider as well as service went smoothly, brand new washer with faulty electronics was not expected but rectified. Washer is great! so many features and clothes are clean and spun amazingly! Love the load and go feature.

I have had many dryers, this one is the quickest and most efficient dryer I have ever had. I love the steam feature, my clothes are never wrinkled if I leave a load in over night. This dryer looks complicated but it is very easy to use. Highly recommended!
