Appliances part deux

So, tonight we bought both the LG washer and the matching dryer from Home Depot. They will be delivered Friday.Why did we choose this model? Read these 89 owner comments and see how highly these owners rated them. We did not buy the over priced risers as they were just simply too expensive. Those risers, with a drawer in them are $209 each! That's just crazy money! If I decide I want the washer and drier to sit taller, I'll build a riser and put in my own drawers. I'm quite certain I can build something suitable for far less than 400 bucks.

And, I'm having them delivered. It cost 65 bucks but we have a rebate form to complete and mail in and then we will get it all back. For a penny each, the delivery guys will carry away the old machines for recycling so I don't have to mess with that aggravation. I won't have to borrow or rent a dolly and I won't have to wrangle up a buddy to help me wrestle them down the stairs and I won't have to deal with busting up the cardboard boxes. It's a win-win to let the delivery guys handle all the heavy work!

We also will be getting $150 back in rebates from the utility companies so the final price really isn't that terrible. We will have to get accustomed to having the washer on the left, not the right side as has been the arrangement for 9 years now since the doors on the machines are not reversible. The sales lady told us we must use the High Efficiency soap and that it only takes 2 tablespoons of soap at the very maximum.

Does anybody have a box of Tide high efficiency soap to trade for a very large, full box of Tide with bleach?
