Appliance Allowance - $3500

15 years ago

Pretty low but this is for a cooktop, oven and microwave. I would really like a double oven and the cooktop to have an exhaust fan along with the microwave being convection as well. Is this possible in a black or stainless for this price? which makes do you recommend? I live in atlanta, ga - where do you think I should shop for these things?

If you shop sales, you should be able to get mid-range appliances for this price. Have you done any preliminary shopping to compare?

As an example, this is what I was able to get. I had lots of time to wait for sales, and got some big discounts. Our salesman even went back and gave us additional discount after the sale because a bigger sales event came along.

36" cooktop $650
30" double wall ovens $1300 (this was a major savings)
Dishwasher $800

You can also get a microwave/convection oven at Sears for around $300 on sale. Be sure to get an extended warranty with this one.

Visiting appliance stores will give you an idea of what you can get plus if you ask, and most of them do this, you can get a good deal by purchasing all of your appliances at once. Usually, you will get a pretty good discount. Of course, I am talking about your "everyday appliances" not "high end" ones!
Dh and I got a great deal through Sears when we were building our house plus they let us "store" them until we needed them for about 3 months! I think we ended up getting about 25% off by also using a Sears credit card and then paying it off. Lots of deals out there, it just takes alot of looking!!
Good Luck!

Sears may have an outlet store [sort of "scratch and dent thing" or even returned items] in your area. My niece has gotten some good deals on appliances at her local one. Good luck!

Why is the GC buying these?? The GC should either give you 4 grand or let you have the store bill him. This way you can ck around for the best buys. Do you have a Queen City there? I purchased our appl there 3 yrs ago when they had them on sale. Plus I asked for a 'package' price if I bought all from them, they gave an add. discount.

4K goesn't sound like you can get everything you need.

But, I did alot of shopping on ebay which saved $$ - also no sales tax added.

I did not use my builders/gc recommended places - I think builders gets a kick back when you use their places. I just took the amount off one of my draws that I paid him.

When you go out lookng you will see it doesn't take long to rack up $$. Just depends on your taste, style and if you want a mid to better grade of appliances.
