Well it seemed it was my turn at a major appliance breaking down etc. LMidweek my fridge died on me. It had happened prior but started to work again after awhile. Turns out the compressor was fried. It started kicking out hot air inside instead of cold. So we went to the nearby Sears Outlet Store near us. They sell new appliances for a great discount as they are either returns, defective, or scratched and or dented. Mine has a slight imperfection on the finish of the freezer door. We got this fridge for about 35% off the regular price of the same model flawless. We have also bought a washing machine and dryer there so far in the past 6 years. Do you shop at Outlet STores for major things such as this? What was the itme you purchasede?

As far as I know the only thing we can get like that in England is Ex catalogue returns and then you have to but like a box of things and you have no idea what is in it! Its not really worth doing unless you can sell it on ebay, you need time, patience and energy though!

I wish we did have things like this

hi Grandpa Bob that was a really great deal. we had to leave our fridge behind when we were evicted as it quit too.so if and when my son gets a job again and we get into an apartment we will have to look into a sears outlet store too. this sounds like a really good deal and a little flaw in the finish some place will not hurt the working parts of it. Just wish my son would hurry and get that job.

There were some that had major dents etc and were super cheap but I wanted it to look decent at least. Hahaha! Good luck still for him.

Hi GrandpaBob. I have the same fridge, I bought it 2 years ago. We don't have a Sears outlet store here, but if we did I would definitely would have purchased it there. Like another of the responders said it is quite noisy but it serves it purpose. I am satisfied with it. When I purchased it, I charged it on my Sears card and had so many months to pay it off before the interest started. I paid it off in time Thank God because a couple of months later I was unemployed.

Enjoy your new appliance.

Chevee, how are you doing? I seldom see you. Any job news? I like the things I get from Sears. I like having the credit cards paid off, as well.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Well, this also was charged on the same card as our $3300 car repair bill so it hurts deeply. The car bill has been paid off as we borrowed the cash from my dad to cover that so there wouldn't be that huge interest. We copuldn'y very well ask for another grand or so from him. This is like a new toy and there's nothing to play with. w00t

Hi GardenGetty,, I am doing fine, no I haven't any Job news I am still drawing unemployment benefits. I live in a very small town and jobs are just not plentiful. the jobs that were here closed and went overseas. I am looking for something that will fit into my qualifications and ability. I am here on MyLot everyday I don't respond that much just observing, for some reason I just don't have to much to say. I am wondering if I am in a state of depression. That last statement (depression) I am not claiming because I know I am truly blessed by God. I have made it one full year without employment and came through with all God's blessings. I have been giving most of my time to studying the word of God. Thanks for being concerned, it makes a person feels good.

I wish we had a Sears outlet near here. When I come to Minnesota again we will have to bring our truck. I have some woodworking tools I am giving the kids. I did buy my current stove as a return, from Sears. Someone had bought it, then decided they did not like the features on it, and returned it. We also had great savings from that little purchase.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

The store is like about a mile away from me too.
So meet up and I'll shop with ya.

well as you know my mother just bought me a brand new stove, so I am good. I don't forsee any big appliances breaking down, but who knows with my luck. I need a new bulb for my tv it stopped working yesterday. I just have to wait until I have the money.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yeah I think I saw a discussion about your stove here last week or two weeks ago. We also had to buy a new washing machine a couple years ago and we got that also at the Sears oultlet store. Those places are life savers finacially for a lot of people like us.

Hello there, I am not from the country where you live but it is nice to see discount stores like that. I would be happy too if i can purchase something as low as that. I know sooner or later my fridge will die on me soon. For last september our city was flooded and almost all of the appliances got wet. Still lucky to see after we let the fridge dry for 3 weeks is still working. But I would like to buy something with 3% off the regular price.

I didn't know Sears had an Outlet store - I've seen Kenmore at a scratch & dent place here in town, but its not a Sears store (can't use credit card there.)

Sorry to hear about your fridge, mine is freezing everything!


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yeah it's a regualr Sears store but only with returns and or factory defective equipment. The appliances all come with a warranty as well. The fridge has a one year warranty so that's just as if we bought it at the regular store as opposed to the outlet.

Funny you should mention getting a new fridge... I spent the afternoon helping a friend empty out hers because she's getting a new(er) one tomorrow. She got it online on Kijiji.

OK This is the SIXTH Time I try to send this response. I nearly get finished then loose it. Grrrr No wonder response are getting scarce!!!
Anyway as I was saying I have always bought my appliances from Sears and have always been very happy. I especially miss my self cleaning/convection oven stove. It had to go with the house when we sold the house. The last appliance I bought was when I moved here, we're allowed a dryer as long as it's a 110 volt and we can have full size washers. I bought a 110 apartment dryer, very pleased with that little dryer and I bought a full size washer (front loading) and again I am very pleased. The stove, dishwasher and fridge that is in the apartment are not Sears and I sure can tell you it's all junk. They buy cheap appliances and that's what they are. My number one choice will always be Sears, but living here you get what you get. I had to copy and paste but wa la here's my response. Long winded like me. hahahaha

I hate the blank screen syndrome here. Other sites I visit, that doesn't happen like here. Anyhow, as far as filling it, I am going shopping latewr tonight to get foods for it. My stove is self cleaning, I clean it myself. HAH! I've always liked Kenmore products which is sold at Sears specifically. Great products.

We don't really have outlet stores like that around here......wish we did but we do have a small town close that has very good prices on all major appliances...the last thing I bought was a refridge for my son..proir to that I bought a washer and dryer there...so far so good and that was about ten years ago.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Bummer. We also have an Appliance Smart near us which
is basically the same principle. There are also Petters
Appliance which is decently priced NEW appliances.
But I've always liked Kenmore so off to Sears I went.
