Ask HN: Where do you get useful information on large home appliances?
Every once in a while we need to make a choice which washing machine (for example) to buy. I find amazon reviews absolutely useless, brand and model names not googlable and comparative information on features between brands and product lines very sparse in general.
Any tips?

- matt_the_bass 8y agoI’m fortunate to have a mom and pop appliance store near me. They’ve been in the business for 45 years. I tell them the features I care about and the price range, they tell me the best unit. So far all their recommendations have been spot on. Plus they generally beat the big box store pricing by about 5% and offer free delivery schedule when convenient for me. I’d suggest looking for a mom and pop store.
