| - After our fridge suffered an unceremonious death, we decided now was the chance to switch all our white appliances to the more modern look of stainless steel. We were looking for a fridge, gas convection stove, dishwasher and microwave.
We looked at several large furniture stores, large chain appliance stores, independent appliance stores and the selection was just overwhelming, plus, the price points were comparable. We ventured into an appliance store in Vaughan on Highway 7 (near 427) that was HUGE. After walking around looking for at least 1/2hr, a staff member approached us and explained features of various brands. We budgeted $5,000 but the brand he steered us towards came in at just over $6,200 (GE Café series). We told him we would need think about it and left the store and ran to some of the other places we'd been to just to comparative shop. As the prices were similar (overall total when all the appliances were factored in) we decided to go back and buy from this person (as he was exceptional) but then we remembered we didn't look at Caplans.
Upon entering the store we discovered that on this particular day, a rep. from GE was in-house so all GE appliances were on sale. The Cafe style that we had decided on were on sale for $4,800...plus they threw in a free bar/entertainment fridge. Once we saw the price, we raced up to the counter to order. The sales rep. was a bit surprised that we were placing an order without talking to a salesman and started explaining the various features each appliance had..so we explained to him that we had already done our research and this by far was the best price. He was great and told us to go downstairs and decide on whether we wanted a wine fridge or bar fridge. We opted for the bar fridge. We were promised a delivery date in a few days, which was fine with us.
We tried to give away for free our existing gas stove (convection), dishwasher and microwave (through Kijiji and Craiglist), but people thought that we were also a delivery company who would drive miles to deliver free items to them...so it never panned out. We called Caplans about removal of existing appliances and they said they would remove them for us for free...which they did.
All in all, an excellent price with fulfilled promises. Still feel guilty though that someone else steered us towards this product which we purchased elsewhere, but saving $1,400 makes it easier......
