Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great washer

MJinSD 2/23/2018

I found that this washer does a wonderful job cleaning the clothes, all while using much less water than my old top loader. It has convenient controls on the front access panel. This was a plus for me being a wheelchair user, since it is very difficult to reach to the top back panel of a top loader washer were most controls are located. I found this washer to be very quiet compared to my old top loader.

Very good washer with basic functionality

flapjs 2/5/2018

This Commercial Whirlpool Washer has the basic settings necessary to get the wash job done. There is no care and usage manual for this washer. After spending over an hour on the telephone trying to have a care and users manual sent to me, I learned there is not one published. The installation manual has some basic information but not everything necessary to operate the machine. It is a smaller capacity machine but does an excellent job at cleaning clothes.
