| I've been plotting a stove purchase for few months. My 20+ year old one is driving us nuts.
I saw the sale at Sear this weekend and thought "hey, I should check that out" but now I'm seeing the financial trouble that Sears has been in for awhile combined with a little trouble on my last purchase there (3 good experiences, 2 more recent bad ones) and I've started to wonder.... Should I go elsewhere? HomeDepot wasn't bad for the washing machine, but I'd been thinking of a KitchenAid like the new dishwasher and they don't carry them. I had to admit I was surprised by their financial troubles... but that could just be me showing my age. When I think of appliance purchases I think of them first. BTW, I was considering a KERS206X if anyone has an opinion on it (or my rambling above.) Maybe I'm just being nervous after spending a chunk of money over the holidays? As long as they out-live the warrenty, does it really matter? The sale goes until the 5th, so there isn't an immediate rush here. Eric |

| Sears doesn't manufacture any of their appliances so you'll probably be able to get repairs even if they go belly up - but personally, I wouldn't buy a Kenmore at this point (not that I ever have :-) because if Sears does go belly up, the actual manufacturer most likely won't honor the warranty. I'd recommend buying a brand name, even if you buy it at Sears. |
