They were on sale for $1000 and then we got the pedestals plus delivery charges and hoses or something so the total was about $1550. Right now Sears is not offering free shipping, but HD is. Plus there is a government rebate for $75 on HE appliances - the rebate form is on Sears's website. I think it is $75 each for W&D!Gina K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13211200395695932014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-65534049638714138402011-09-22T09:57:12.083-07:002011-09-22T09:57:12.083-07:00Gina K.

I'm soo confused on what to buy and waiting until the Black Friday deals will be too long, I think. We were set on the LG top load until the salesman said they vibrate too much. I'm going to have to do more research!<br /><br />And the bronze... we didn't upgrade to the bronze anywhere in our house either. I'm actually not a fan of how it looks, but I think it also looks weird with the doors having both.KayandJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699278296064641639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-37903696213824583122011-09-22T06:09:19.254-07:002011-09-22T06:09:19.254-07:00Oh, and the bronze.

I would not be happy with half and half. For us, the cost to upgrade to bronze was over $2k, and as I understood, it changed everything to bronze including the shower frame. We did not go with bronze since I just couldn't see paying that much.Gina K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13211200395695932014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-50433712748728101402011-09-22T06:05:31.496-07:002011-09-22T06:05:31.496-07:00Wow - so exciting!

We have the Samsung with the vibration reduction and I HATE it. Yes it minimizes vibration - but the way it does it is that when it starts to vibrate too much it shuts down, adds water, adjusts the load and tries to spin again. It will keep doing this until it can spin smoothly. This has add over 30 minutes to the spin cycle on occasion. At the same time it is doing all that, it is creating a huge balled up mess so that when you go to pull out the clothes, they are all tangled together and end up falling on the floor. Horrible. We are looking at going back to top load - one of the newer HE versions. I have been looking at the LG Wave - http://tinyurl.com/43eqwln It has great reviews. Next choice was Sears or Home Depot. I have been told that Sears warranty work is horrible and looking at the prices for extended warranties, HD has Sears beat hands down. You get 4 years with HD for less than Sears's 2 year. So I think HD it will be. Luckily we can wait till Black Friday sales.<br /><br />So...was that long enough? Sorry.<br /><br />Can't wait to see more pictures as yours gets done.Gina K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13211200395695932014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-6011596126464568952011-09-19T10:05:17.284-07:002011-09-19T10:05:17.284-07:00Two points here: You will get what you pay for re...Two points here: You will get what you pay for regarding the front loader vs top loader. The cheaper they are the more they will vibrate. it also has to do with getting them perfectly level when you install them...if all four feet are not solidly on the floor it will vibrate like crazy no matter how much you pay. We have a 10 year old Maytag front loader(one of the first front loaders on the market). It doesn't vibrate at all. The best research is to read the reviews online, but know that most people only enter reviews when they are pissed...so if you find tons of reviews complaining about the vibration you should probably stay away.<br /><br />Regarding the door hardware...that is exactly the combination we have.BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831914806525111506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-91651048368326246112011-09-19T05:55:05.696-07:002011-09-19T05:55:05.696-07:00I have had both top and front loaders.

My husband understood what he was saying about the vibration of top loaders vs front loaders in the points that they are braced at. He said the new top loaders spin about 4 times as much as the top loaders even 2-3 years ago, so thats a lot!KayandJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699278296064641639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-65089248389656574542011-09-18T19:18:50.722-07:002011-09-18T19:18:50.722-07:00Hi K&J!

Its interesting that your salesperson told you that the top loaders caused a lot of vibration - I've always heard the opposite, that the front loaders vibrate a lot (ours does). But it might be that they are making the top loaders and front loaders the same - to spin super, super fast to get as much water out as possible. So, you might get the same vibration with either a front loader or top loader. I'll be interested to see what you end up deciding on.Ravenna Ranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356644632445661949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41944795152332426.post-72999717344617129022011-09-18T18:40:00.018-07:002011-09-18T18:40:00.018-07:00Our outside vs. inside hardware is the same as you...Our outside vs. inside hardware is the same as yours!!
