Depending on your location, I'd call Jewish stores too and see if they are cheaper.
Agreed. We got our Samsung at the local store in Monsey last year after much research (they're actually a pretty major dealer) and the pricing came out better and they know the products much better as well.
I'm in Chicago - no Jewish stores that I know of carry large appliances here (but I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong)
What do you think of the Kenmore posted?
No Sabbath Mode, and I want a warming drawer...
