I got the pair yesterday by printing out the Howard's Appliances web pages for the washer and dryer and took them to Lowes and got the price match plus 10% totalling $890.10 + tax AMR.
WHIRLPOOL DUET SPORT ENERGY STAR RATED Washer Model: WFW8300S
WHIRLPOOL 6.7 Cu. Ft. Capacity Duet Sport™ Gas Dryer Model: WGD8300SW
You got a super deal. I bought the 9500 series duet at Lowe's yesterday in NYC and it came out to $2166.18 including tax. My brother has the set you have. Remember to leave the washer door open to prevent mildew and use a HE detergent.

OR how about:
LG WM2010CW & DLE1310W for $ 998 /pair (electric Dryer) - (Gas Dryer DLG1320 available at additional +$70) sale at Home Depot some people have had problems finding service with LG depending on where you live.

If you gotta leave the door open...
Sounds like a design flaw. Just hope you don't have kids or someone or a dog that will keep hitting the door cause its open and weakening the hinges.
Keeping the door open is not a design flaw, its nature and gravity. The water in any front-load washer does not drain 100%. Leaving the door open allows the air to dry the bits remaining in the drum. If the door is closed, it locks and seals the drum. The trapped moisture causes mold to grow.
I got a pair of 9500 series. They cost me 900+800-170 (10% off)-250 rebate = $1280 + tax. I also bought 4 yr extended warranty for ~$160.

For those who price matched, does your receipt have the model name/number etc on? I did the price match and my receipt says "Recall amount" and the amount I paid. Nowhere it says the washer/dryer model / name. This is going to be a pain when doing rebates. I am thinking I need to go back and have them reprint this so I can do the other rebates.
