Got a new LG gas dryer

Tweet

So I went to Home Depot yesterday to buy an LG gas dryer. I could've just ordered it online but I wanted to see it in person, make sure I ordered everything I need to have it installed, and get answers to some questions I had. I got to the store to find that they didn't have the dryer I wanted on display. That was a bummer. I saw pics of it online but I wanted to see it in front of me and look at all the controls and see the inside, etc. I asked the salesperson if there is a way to find out if it's on display at another location but she told me she has no way of knowing. I doubt that is the case. She probably just doesn't know how to check. I didn't want to drive to another location as I had no idea they'd have the dryer on display so I just bought it there. They had a similar size dryer so I looked at that one for comparison to make sure it's a good size and has the features I need. I also found out that my dryer is a smart dryer. Not really sure what that means but doesn't matter as this was the least expensive LG gas dryer and actually had the look I wanted. The dryer cost $899 but because they had a Presidents' Day sale I ended up paying $798. Though I would have preferred to save even more, saving $101 was great. I am glad I waited. The installation was expensive though. $310 plus the cost of the required parts for installation. I agreed to it. I wanted a professional to install it for me, and trying to find someone else to do it for me wouldn't guarantee less spending, so it was best to have them do it. The dryer should arrive Wednesday. Hopefully, the install will be done the same day. I read online that they deliver it and then call you to schedule an install. Hope that is not the case. I want it done the same day. That was one of the questions I asked the salesperson and she had no idea. She also had no idea when I asked her if it is okay to plug in the dryer into an extension cord if it doesn't reach the outlet as they usually say must plug directly into the wall. She had no idea about this either. She told me to call her supervisor and/or ask the delivery people. I'd think a salesperson in the appliance department should know these things. Guess not.
