It will depend on your specific model. Try the link below.

PostHeaderIcon Question: When the price is p dollars, an appliance dealer can sell (1291 – p) refrigerators.?


Rest of question: What price will maximize his revenue?

apparently we have to graph this. I am at a total loss.

Multiply p by (1291-p). Graph that on your calculator. Find the highest point.

PostHeaderIcon which store has the best deals for appliances? range/oven/refrigirator?


I am moving and I need to get all of kitchen appliances. I my budget is fairly modest, but I want to buy quality things that will last. I dont know much about kitchen Appliances. Where can I get a good deal, and which stores/brands should I avoid?

thanks a lot

Hi,

I would buy from a reputable store. Lowes, Home Depot, Sears all sell virtually the same appliances. Sears has their own Kenmore brand, but that is usually just manufactured by Whirlpool and they put a different name on it.

One way to save $$ is to buy from one store. Usually they charge to deliver but it is a set fee for a delivery meaning they will deliver 3 or 4 appliances for that price. They will sometimes remove your old appliances too. Here is an area where you can try some negotiating – see if they will deliver for free if you buy multiple appliances. If one store has a particular model cheaper, the others will usually match the price.

Also, check the deals. All 3 of those stores run free delivery deals periodically. Plus they also do a 10% off deal – sometimes when you move and send in a change of address to the post office, Lowes and HD will send you a coupon. Lowes used to have it on their website – you can sign up and they mail you one. Or you can sometimes get 10% off if you open a charge account with them. it’s worth it based on the amount you are spending.

In terms of brands – I can’t say a GE is better than a Maytag or Whirlpool, etc. Everyone will have their own opinion based on their experiences. I would look at features and don’t overbuy. Our washing machine does all kinds of fancy things, but all I ever use is cotton/cold. So for me all those other setting and wricle shield crap were a waste.

Good luck
