Sears. Always have sales, coupons. Free delivery

We ordered ours from Costco.com. They delivered and installed for free.

We bought our Speed Queen washer from Apache Appliances. It seems like it is built like a tank. We love it!

costco.com

Speed Queen. Google it and you'll find a cult following. Best ever. 3 year full warranty (3x longer than anything else you'll find), both wash bins made of metal and parts made of metal (about 50 lbs heavier than most other washers on the market), and all mechanical instead of electronic. It isn't pretty and won't have all kinds of different buttons and noises and weird steam cycles and crap, but it will get your clothes clean, last a long time, and be easy to repair if it does need repairs. You can easily expect it to last 15 years with some small maintenance (belts, etc).

Love ours.

Look on their site to see who has them in person - usually smaller "down home" dealers. I ordered ours on US Appliances online and ended up saving quite a bit of money (taxes, better price). Was really happy with the service & delivery.

Try Bettar Appliances in Kensington. Not fancy, but they get the job done.

I am new to the appliance buying universe. Where is the best place to go? And if you love your non front-loading washer, please tell me what it is. Thanks!!!
