    Default Best place to buy new appliances & furniture in Denver metro area?

    Mountain High Appliance in Louisville has always been good to us.

    These days things are built to be replaced not worked on so yeah there is cheap crap out there.
    We have had good luck with Frigidaires but everyone has their opinions. Kind of like when you ask who makes the best gun on here - you get the whole range.

    We've bought several appliances over the years from Appliance Factory Outlet down here in The Springs. They've got a location in Denver.

    They're prices are excellent. We just bought a new refrigerator and found the exact same one at Lowes for $200 more than we paid.

    I'm a factory certified appliance tech among other things.

    Almost all brands have issues. Certain models are terrible. Some are just fine. A good portion of the dishwashers are all made at the same factory in mexico. Kind of ford Chevy dodge debate

    Generally I avoid Kenmore and maytag because there parts are rediculous. More like mercedes bmw

    Whirlpool are decent except the cabrio line. They tend to flood.
    I prefer GE top loads but their front loads are trash.

    If you're handy and fix things yourself buy only the units without digital controls and boards.

    If you're not handy. Buy what's cheap and has good consumer reports reviews. Throw it away when it breaks. Usually a single circuit board is 50% of a new unit if you shop. Before labor.

    Wulf, what do you think of Haier (especially now that they own GE)?

    They made their way making small units for cramped Chinese apartments. People don't usually pay to have them worked on here so consider them good disposable. A surprising amount of the big us brands have their small units made by them.

    Their corporate strategy is sound and they've brought manufacturing back to the us.

    I've been pleasently surprised.

    Last time I was shopping for appliances (march, high end Washer/dryer) the best deal was at best buy (they matched the lowest advertised price in town and throw a 50$ additional rebate for each appliance). Free delivery and setup. Got them the day after I ordered.

    I never could find anything cheaper than Lowe's. Costco has some appliances, but a limited selection compared to anyone else.

    Can't speak about appliances, but we looked at furniture row and AFW. We ended up with kids beds, new memory foam bed, living room set, bar stools, and a patio set from AFW. They seemed to have a larger selection to choose from.

    Some good info so far, thanks for all the leads. Apparently I was wrong about the 10% Lowes coupon in the address change packets, they used to be included but aren't in the new ones. And when I said I despise H.E. washers what I meant to say was side-loaders. I think its correct that pretty much all washers are "H.E." certified now, but I'm only interested in the top-loading units that have a full length agitator and that can fill all the way to the top with water. Do models like that even exist any more? Those are the only style I've found that actually CLEANS clothes, as opposed to just swishes them around in a fetid spritz of bath water. My old house had a washer from the 80's that was the best damn washer I've ever used. Probably terrible for electricity & water efficiency, but I didn't care because it cleaned everything I put in it.

    My Lowes 10% off came as a postcard. I think it's based off home purchase not change of address.
    Got 25% percent end of season, plus another 10% off from the postcard on a snowblower when I got here.
    No sales tax either... It was quite a score.
