Where to look for good deal on washer?
We need to find a new washer. Our main priorities are that we can get it this weekend and it's no more than $500 and we'd prefer to around $400 or below.
I went to Warner's Stellian in Roseville yesterday and their bargain room was lacking. Does the Minneapolis location usually have more?
All, Inc. had one in our price range but it gets really bad reviews online.
Sears - the few that are in our budget will take up to 2 weeks to be delivered.
We're going to stop by Lowe's, HD and Menards this weekend.
Where are we missing?

ApplianceSmart
my read shelf:
Sears Outlet. There is one in Mpls (NE) - and if it makes it easier to compare, there is an ApplianceSmart a mile or two away. There is also one in *** Rapids and sowewhere else in the metro.
I got a pracitcally new (floor model) $660 Kenmore range for $360 a few weeks ago - perfect condition other than a tiny scratch on the bottom corner. They had LOTS of washer/dryers and everything else -as well as small appliances and tools (which I might go back for). Very easy to work with and the price really can't be beat.
I've also gotten things from Appliance Smart in the past - they are good and easy to work with too but you have to be careful because some of the lines they carry are CHEAP and not even worth the little bit you'd spend on them.
ETA: Searsoutlet.com - - it is pretty easy to search models and see what outlet carries what. I found it more user-friendly and informative than ApplianceSmart's website - - - I did price comparisons for ApplianceSmart's inventory listings and they were never better priced than HomeDepot, Lowes, or Sears. It was odd - I thought they would have been MUCH better priced.
Sears Outlet
Warners Stellian
BMO in Mendota Heights/Eagan had a few really nice looking front loading washing machine when we were there on Saturday, it was right around $500. I'm assuming they were "scratch & dent" but we aren't in the market for a new machine so I didn't look in great detail.

I had no idea BMO has stuff like that. It's not too far from our house so we'll have to stop this weekend.
I didn't know there was a Sears outlet, either. I'll try there and ApplicanceSmart.
Thanks everyone!

I don't know that BMO usually carries appliances - we've been there a handful of times and never noticed them before.. they had them in the granite room, to the right of the entrance, in case you want a starting point!

Just to update....
We went to Sears, Sears outlet, ApplianceSmart and the Minneapolis Warner's Stellian. ApplianceSmart was definitely the winner price-wise. One machine in particular was $100 more at Warner's Stellian.
We ended up ordering one online through Sears. It was more than we wanted to spend but it got really good reviews online and with Consumer Reports.
We went to the laundromat yesterday and wow, is that expensive. We figured that if we did our laundry there every week for a year, we'd spend around $1000. On the other hand, it was nice to use multiple machines and get a week's worth done in an hour.
