Buying a stove shouldn’t be this hard, pt. 1

The oven went out in our Frigidaire gas range (this was after the clock went out a couple years ago–it’s been the worst appliance I’ve ever owned), so we finally broke down and went shopping for a new range.

We were looking for a prosumer gas convection range, as Heather does a lot of baking. They run from around $800-$2,000.

We went to Lowe’s since we already have a Lowe’s card. The appliance guy at the Lowe’s in Independence was very helpful, however, they don’t deliver out to the boonies where we live. So we went to the Lowe’s in Warrensburg. After 20 minutes of wandering around the appliances, we couldn’t find anyone to help us. I told Heather I was ready to leave, but she said I was just being impatient.

After another five minutes of wandering, we found the appliance guy. He was talking to another Lowe’s guy about something. It must have been important, because he was oblivious to us.

Then Heather was ready to leave, and we lit out (after Heather informed the front desk of her displeasure).

It turned out to be fortuitous. After searching around online, I found the same range we had planned to order from Lowe’s $150 cheaper at Best Buy, with even better financing. So I signed up for a card and ordered it.
