Pricing: Only one issue -&gt; Is US Appliance reliable?

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

Not sure about Amazon as I haven't researched this---but you can call customer service and they will respond immediately (within an hour). I have found them very helpful and reasonably knowledgeable. Also I have researched all major brands and asked at least 3 techs in my area about reliability of 3 flat panels brands. While this is a loaded question since technology is changing so rapidly, all said Panasonic is very good and so far very reliable. Finally I also went to a few a/v specialty stores and a LOCAL major furn/appliance/ELECTRONICS store and asked who services their products. So I have found someone (or 2) businesses within 50 miles of my medium sized city who have excellent reputations. Not wanting to bash Best Buy, HH Gregg, etc. but the techs I talked with had reservations about buying extended warranties from the big store chains. I have no direct experience so I cannot really say. I have researched this V-10 for my mother and she will be buying from a local dealer. She's willing to pay a little more for correct setup and calibration and to integrate with her high end home theater separates. An extended warranty is optional through the dealer or local technician of my choice. Next to last, a very quality oriented Factory Authorized Service Center PROPRIETOR within 50 miles from my house stated that he is part of a network of technicians and recommended cpscentral.com (Computer Priority Service). I have not visited this site. Last I encourage you to investigate in your area before buying. The reason I'm so diligent is that my mother is replacing a 5 yr old Pioneer Elite plasma which cost $10,000 and now will either be repaired and come to my home or recycled. This should help you--don't let your excitement out weigh good reasoning!!

yes, I've asked twice and haven't gotten an answer. I've returned a recall unit. If I could get a clean one, I'd buy it. I think it's a very nice product. But, I for one, am not going to pay retail for a "fixer-upper". At a "refurb" price, I'd think about it, because units below ser 3114200 are exactly that - refurbs waiting to be refurbed. I'm going to wait another week to see if I get an answer, and then just get something else. Sigh.

Having used it for several months now, I can't see any flaws that would discourage buying this toaster. Unless, that is, you consider its price to be a "flaw." It does what it's supposed to do, and it does it very well.

C. McGehee says:"Frys .com has it on sale this week for $899. "The in-store price in Austin, TX was $749 (plus tax, of course). I was going to wait a few more months, but my CRT TV picked that week to die and my attempts at resurrection failed (I know the horizontal circuit is blowing a resistor, but I don't know why) so I pulled the trigger.

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

I bought a remanufactured unit, which was less then the new unit. 349.00 new and 279.00 remfg. I don't know where you found the new unit for 249.00? I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the one I bought. Have not used my regular stove oven since. The convection feature is great. Pizza is the best. Pies are wonderful Cookies are even better. VERY PLEASED.

No, I am a facility manager. I did buy one from Appliance Parts in Reno, Nv. They are located on Rock Blvd. and their pricing is good. Hope this helps.

hot did you get that deal from US-Appliances? I am also tired of waiting for amazon to get this TV in stock. Oh well, I would rather get from Amazon. I will wait few more days and see what shall happen

That is normal. The MSRP is always set high so the retailer can advertise a "GREAT" price. Standard in the appliance industry, among others.

Agreed. I have two electrolux oxygens at $499, purchased in 2005. Once out of warranty, one actually caught fire in my hand while using it. After customer service told me to order the new parts at about $150, I said the blogs will hear about this. The immediately replaced the faulty parts for free. Great! It is not working and again and neither is the other one. This IS NOT your mother's electrolux! I see they are selling high end appliances now too. What a joke. Stay away.

I did check out PriceMad after I posted and there are way too many negative comments. I did buy the KDL 52W3000 from Amazon, thru their dealer, J&R-----.; I checked J&R; out and comments/reviews are great. I got it for $2199 with free s&H.; and it has been shipped, so they say.Whoopee!

Thanks. I had a similar pricing problem with an alarm clock. There was suddenly a new importer and they $50 shipping for what had been free! It only lasted a few days on amazon, though, then it was back to the regular pricing. Maybe the same will happen with the whites.

I don't bother to check. Check all the appliances in your house and you will find the answer. To be helpful, it is still going strong for me for almost a year. It is built better than my previous similar one bought at Fry's.

I think they mentioned Taiwan somewhere in their documentation. They have distribution and repair on the West Coast. My only gripe was I had to pay shipping all the way there ~$20 because something went SNAP (with a spark) internally so that expensive psu had to go on a "roadtrip". You'd think that the high price covers their "self insurance" (and customer's shipping) for such a "quality" unit. Grrr!
