We have some local mom & pop appliance stores. Bit more money but they’re full service, not that I’ve ever need their service. Not much on home appliances I can’t fix.
Sears was a good source for the lesser brands like Kenmore, Whirlpool, hotpoint and such but those brands were all built by Whirlpool, but they’re all but gone in New England. Even their scratch and dent store was bought up.
But, don’t need that stuff anymore. Retired, living in a small Veteran/old fogey complex...
