Kitchen Appliances "Steel" the Show!

Refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, and microwaves! Who knew that shopping for new appliances would be so overwhelming?

About two months ago now, we walked out of Classic Maytag on Military Avenue with a feeling of accomplishment.  We had finally decided on what we wanted to have for kitchen appliances. We needed to get a fridge, an electric range, a microwave, and a dishwasher. 

Looking at store ads for Fourth-of-July appliance sales was pretty time-consuming, but we narrowed our search down to three stores; we decided to go to Sears, the Home Depot, and Classic Maytag. 

Sears left us with more questions than answers, because after a while, all of the appliances started to look alike.  It wasn't a wasted trip, however, because by that point we had decided that we definitely wanted to get stainless steel finish on all four pieces.

Home Depot wasn't any help.  Not only were we constantly bombarded by sales associates (Do they work on commission? It sure seemed like it!), but they didn't have as many appliances to look at as their ad led us to believe they had. Not the first time this has happened at this store, but that's another story.

Finally, we walk into the Classic Maytag store located on Military Avenue, and we immediately see the range we want. We decided to go electric, as we no longer had a gas line going to the kitchen. Plus, I get nervous about open flame around towels, wash cloths, oil... I have been known to accidentally start things on fire.

In no time, we had our dishwasher, our microwave, and our fridge picked out.  We placed the order, and in just a few weeks, our appliances were all installed.  I am so happy with the service provided by Bill Schumacher at Classic Maytag.
