Hello,

I need to get a new dishwasher ASAP. Where is a good place to get one?

Thanks.

Where do you live?

I have found the Sears Appliance store in Tenleytown very helpful. I purchased a new refrig on a Sunday and they had it delivered the next Wednesday. I was very satisfied with the delivery service they offered.

I have always had good luck with applianceland, locations in Rockville and Fairfax (last time I checked). I am an amateur house flipper and have had to buy full appliance suites for 4 houses in the last 10 years, and in shopping around, their prices and service are pretty competitive--they do the same price matching as big stores, but it's nice to deal with a small store that doesn't put you through endless voicemail, etc. The downside, if you are looking for top end appliances (Miele, Asko, Bosch) is that I don't think they sell those brands. For those brands (and Sub Zero, Wolf, etc) I suck it up and go to Bray and Scarff (more expensive).

We buy most of our appliance from Lowes. You can get 6m no interest on their credit card (even with an existing account; we just always ask). Also, you can negotiate prices. We wanted a really nice dishwasher that was already 10% off and we asked for another 10% if we picked it up that night ourselves. They asked the manager and he just did it. It was right before closing so I don't know if that made a difference.

M and M appliance in the district. They will meet/beat prices and deliver quickly.

I bought off an internet-only place and lived to regret it. I would go with somewhere like sears that can deal with any problems that may arise.
