Take operating costs into account also.
- cmdrfred 9y agoAnd time lost waiting for a new one to be delivered, disposal fees...
- Arizhel 9y agoDon't forget delivery and installation fees too. They don't deliver them to your house for free.
- awqrre 9y agoWho cares about delivery fees? it's the total cost that matters.
- Arizhel 9y agoThe delivery fee is a significant fraction of the total cost of a modern dryer in the US. Saving a little money by getting crappier dryers will likely have a larger total cost because of the delivery fees, and also the cost of your time in taking time off from work to accept delivery.
- awqrre 9y agothat dryer costing $180 at Home Depot has free shipping, by the way... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-Compact-1-5-cu-ft-Electric-Dryer-in-White-MCSDRY15W/301134985 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-Compact-1-5-cu-ft-Elec... .... and by the way, you are paying for shipping even if you by at the store (it is just included)
- Arizhel 9y agoWTF? We're talking about real dryers here, not dorm-sized dryers that you can dry maybe 2 shirts in. However, if you select the Samsung 7.5cf dryer, it also has free delivery. Of course, this is built into the price, and $550 for an appliance isn't pocket change.
- awqrre 9y agohere is a pocket change dryer that is slightly larger: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Amana-6-5-cu-ft-Electric-Dryer-in-White-NED4655EW/206029544 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Amana-6-5-cu-ft-Electric-Dryer-in... and of course it also has free shipping.
- awqrre 9y agoIf you put it by the road someone should pick it up promptly for free (or list it for free on craigslist).
- cmdrfred 9y agoAnd time lost waiting for a new one to be delivered, disposal fees for the old unit, laundromat fees and time spent there while the system is down.
