Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Perfection !!

Mr Klean 12/20/2021

this is an amazing machine. sansung has given the consumer what they've been asking for. a washer with an agitator that cleans !!! theres so many useful cycles and options. control panel is user friendly. machine is very quiet. i use the "colors" cycle and theres always enough water for my clothes. no need for deep fill option. the "quick wash" cycle did a great job in cleaning. there's been a couple of times that i thought the washer was going to go off balance. but the machine adjusted itself and had no issues in the spin cycle. no vibration at all. i have both the washer and dryer in the brushed black color. very sharp looking. not one issue to complain about. samsung listened to the consumer and delivered !!
