Best Buy - Their sales were all on pairs only. A lot of the pairs had one highly rated machine and one that didn't perform so well. We don't care if our set matches in that way - we just want them both to work. It was going to be expensive to mix and match.
Sears - Do their appliance people work on commission? They asked if they could help us and we said we were just browsing. One guy stalked us the whole time and kept interjecting into our conversations. Then when a woman talked to us, that guy was making under his breath comments at her until she snapped "I get it - they're yours." We left shortly thereafter. If their prices had been a zillion times better than the other options, we would have sucked it up and bought them there, but other stores were competitive so we didn't feel the need to put up with the crap.
Home Depot - They had a good set (sold seperately, but we did wind up getting the set) for a good price. The salespeople asked us if they could help and when we told them we were still researching, they left us alone. That did happen with 3 different people, however, they all left us alone after asking. (There were big "We don't work on commission" signs up too.) Eventually, we narrowed it down to 2 sets and decided to ask some questions. We were also simultaneously searching for information online. What did the world do before smartphones?
Eventually we wound up with these. The LG steam washer and dryer. Their reviews are very good, so hopefully they live up to the hype. We got them at a great, great price. They are going to be $50 cheaper on Black Friday, but we didn't have to stand in line to get them. :)
