HomeDepot : Amana Washer(598$) and Dryer(398$)

I don't know about the negative review on the HD site...sounds like a levelling problem...a shim would probably fix it. This Amana is made by Samsung (according to Consumer Reports site) and they have pretty good build quality. Need a new washer - might check it out.

Save another $60 with a water rebate, if you live in Toronto.

But if you check on homedepot.com, the us site, the reviews are mostly positvie.

Many websites show good reviews, both expert as well as user. Getting one this evening.

So tempted to get this. $896 for a front loader and matching dryer is such a good price. Good size too. I don't need a new washer and dryer but it would be nice to upgrade from my traditional top loader. Damn you RFD...

+1 My situation precisely! Anyone want to buy a top load pair?

great price. i bought a daweoo set from FS 2 years ago on boxing day special and haven't seen these sets for that price since.

Does anybody know who actually makes Amana washer / dryer?

Thank you. I must be blind.

I purchase this pair a year ago and have been more then happy with them both.

Had the washer now for about a year and it has worked just fine. Can't go wrong for the price and other reviews are decent. Not sure about the home depot review - might be a bad unit.

Looks like a good set to me - thanks.
Actually good reviews on consumersearch dot com.

Went to HD to pick up a washer today, and found out a couple of things I didn't know:

(1) HD does not carry appliance stock on-site despite having a showroom. They are all special orders and take anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks to arrive in Edmonton.

(2) They did have several demo units available for cash'n'carry.

I wanted the LG WM2016CW (reg. $798) but it would have taken 2 weeks to get in. Instead I went for a demo unit GE GCVH6400J which was fairly close in terms of options and size (a little larger at 3.7 cf). Since it was a demo unit and was 10% off, I got it for $610 + gst. I think the regular price was around $900.

I installed the GE and I'm impressed so far. I think I'll need to adjust the feet a little bit to take care of some vibration, but otherwise seems like a nice quiet machine. I would have preferred to get the LG to match my LG DLE2516W dryer ($399.99 demo unit at Future Shop), but this is a nice front loading pair for just over $1000.

Thanks for the post OP!

edit: As a reminder for Albertans, be sure to check http://www.climatechangecentral.com/ for a $100 rebate on any energy star washer (there's a list of qualifying washers on the site).

Just bought it yesterday ... I should reeiveit next saturday .

As posted by archimed , HD do not have them in stock, it is directly shipped from the manufacturer to home.

I'll try to do a follow up for a review !

We bought this washer (rather it's Inglis clone) and yes it is made by Samsung. The washer is very quiet compared to a 1st generation Kenmore that we replaced. We have had no issues at all with this washer - of course I'm not expecting any since we have only had it for a few months.

There are different speed settings for the final spin, so you may have to experiment. The only common complaint that I can attest to is that is very easy to activate the unit since the controls are on the front panel.

So far - good performance for a bargain price - I'd buy it again - with the discount, it's a no brainer

New to the washer world and was wondering if anyone knows how big is a 3.5 cu ft washer is? How much clothes could you stuff in there? We have 2 little ones and a 9 y/o plus Mom and Dad. Do you think this size would be good? Thanks

If you order any appliances from HD... be prepared to wait. I purchased a washer/dryer a couple years ago. They said 2 weeks to get in. Took longer. A friend just bought a set. 2 weeks they said. It took over a month. Make sure the deal you get is worth the wait.
