I’m looking at a new refrigerator that is being advertised as 34% off thru 4/19. But our kitchen reno won’t be done until beginning of June. I purchased a range around the holidays and it’s continuously been on sale since them too.

Do I buy now or wait?

we’re closing on a house on or before January 28th. My husband and I are wondering if today’s sale(through december 31st) will be the best deal or wait until mid to end of january to buy appliances? We need a fridge, washer, and dryer.

Someone told me that Lowes and other similar stores where people usually buy appliances have the "cheap" versions of appliances, and that we should go to an appliance store instead.

Is this really true?

My husband and I have racked up on Lowe’s gift cards over the last year from friends and family since they know we’ve been doing some home improvement projects. We’ve got a decent amount that’ll put a dent into some big purchases. Presently, we’re looking at upgrading our appliances. Our gas stove/range, dishwasher, and fridge are all Whirlpool and are all from 2001. I love that they’ve lasted this long, and honestly they do still work pretty okay, but the gas stove smells like it leaks a bit when we turn it on, dishwasher is like 90 dbs when it runs, and we don’t think the fridge’s water filter is actually filtering water. So, we’re looking to upgrade since we’ll have the help of some gift cards.

Any thoughts or inside scoop about the quality of Lowe’s appliances? We’re looking at maybe Bosch for all three. I’ve heard mixed reviews about appliance quality from “big box” stores so just want some honest opinions. If it helps, we also have a home warranty that we renew every year in the event an extended warranty purchase is recommended.
