Went to ABC 1st (the one on Hall) just to see what they had and the 2 models she wanted they did not have in stock (also asked them to check the Mt.Clemens store - no go so I did not call your guy). Went to Costco, no good, and ended up at SEARS got one on Sale (good deal IMO) on a "GE" Super Capacity

, Percelain tub, with 1/2 hp motor with all the goodies for $360 and I brought it home that night. I had to talk the guy down, but he was nice! The only catch was I had to use my Sears card and not take the zero percent financing. I was going to pay cash so it was a win/win in my book!
My Goal was to get a Super capacity 3.5 cu ft or bigger for under $500 so I was happy! Not ready for the front loaders just yet!
