World of Washers

A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post about how Amana offers a frontload washer and dryer that is a tremendous value. If you look around online, you will find sellers offering the washer for anywhere from $600 to $800. Myself, I would pay $800 for this washer. Like I said in the other post, it sucks that the washer does not have an internal water heater, but this washer offers a lot of bang for the buck.

So yeah, I would not hesitate to drop $800 for this washer. Some sellers are offering it for $600, and that is a tremendous bargain.

What Home Depot is doing with this washer, though, defies belief. I do not know how long this special is going on, but Home Depot is offering the washer and electric dryer for $449.10 each. (The website refers to this price as an Internet special, so I am not sure if it is available in stores). That means for $900, you can get an Amana frontload washer and electric dryer (made by Samsung). That is an exceptional deal. You can spend that much on a middle of the line top load washer set!

Like I said, I have no idea how long this is going on, but you can head on over to Home Depot to check out this deal.

Now, I'm a major proponent of buying locally and buying from the little guys, but I guess we all have our price, right? Take my word for it: this is a fantastic offer.

Update: Okay, party's over. Dammit, and I didn't even get this washer for myself! The price is now listed as $538.20 each on the Home Depot website. Hey, it's still a great price on a frontload washer set. Not as good as it was, but still a very good buy.
