Lowe's 11/19-11/23, Samsung W/D pair, $898 B&M only? 209-series front loaders

Listed on the last page of their ad, which starts today. If you link from the ad, it takes you to the page for the 4.0 cu ft washer, WF209ANW, which pairs with the 7.3 cu ft dryer, DV209AEW, despite the ad saying something about a 3.7 cu ft washer (which Lowe's does not have in their inventory, model number is clearly listed on the ad). I remember this pair being the subject of some discussion awhile back because of how they compare with Sears' Samsung models with the 219 model number (comparing them online, the 209 actually seems to have more settings than the 219 but are otherwise comparable).

Anyway, this is $100 lower than the BF Sears Samsung deal, and $300 cheaper than the steam set coming up at BestBuy for BF, if you don't need steam. Should be able to combine with either 10% mover's coupon or 10% Military discount if you can find the first or qualify for the second, for $809.10 + tax with free next day delivery (no rebate required). Gas dryer available for $50 more.

Price is not showing up online so I'm guessing it's B&M only.

Saw these at the store today in Plano, TX. Is there really no difference between the 209 and the 219? The 219 shows to have the "sanitize" feature on the samsung web site, which made me think it might have an internal water heater...

Samsung cannot make a refrigerator (I can attest to that!) - not sure about their washer/dryers

i actually saw these yesterday when i went in to look for LG, not realizing the lowes/samsung-hd/lg ordeal, and saw the $898 when you buy both sign. retailed for $698 each i believe. might make a trip to the post office to see about a 10% off moving coupon since i'm out of them.

I am the happy owner of both! Love them and have no complaints whatsoever except maybe that I didn't get the pedestals for the W/D so getting clothes in and out of them is a little bit of a pain.

Online reviews (literally hundreds) are overwhelmingly positive about their washers & dryers. I think they overproduced for the US market or something because there are so many insane promos for them right now.

does anyone know how often they do deals like this on front load washers??

i seem to be seeing HD/Lowes put on sale these front loaders even before black friday.

reason i ask is my washer/dryer is still functioning (although not efficiently but i like the features of front loaders (less water,less drying time needed)

i would think that housing vacancies would play a huge part in Future (2010) sales/discounts of front load machines.

hzha said: What's so good about 'sanitize' and internal heater?

Sanitize means that the water temp can go higher than normal. Some people want the feature for washing cloth diapers in particular, or if they work somewhere around biologicals (butcher, etc.). The internal heater makes that possible but also enables faster hot water availability -- no waiting for the water to makes its way from the tank in the basement. That's my understanding anyway. I'm not sure if machines account for the cold water in the line when prepping a load, particularly non-high end washers. Seems like a decent idea to me anyway, probably saves water.

10% coupon AND the rebate you might be able to get from your energy company... I just looked and I can get a $100 rebate from buying this Samsung model! Thanks for posting... I will be going to Lowe's tomorrow So $698 for me!

Picked them up today... thanks for the post! Even though the 10% coupon from the post office says it cannot be combined with any other discounts, they took it!

Did anyone else have to buy the hose and electric plug that took delivery? The salesman said they will only install with their new hoses/plugs. He said I could use my own plug but it would void the warranty!?! Oh well, it wasn't that much more, but just wasn't expecting it and seemed kinda weird.

I'm trying to decide between this and the HD/LG deal for ~$100 more. The LGs have the sanitize feature. Has anyone looked at both? I confirmed with my local HD they will take a Lowes 10% off coupon.

you get the hoses with the washer, yes. what they will not do is remove your old dryer cord and use that on the new dryer. they will install it if you buy a new dryer cord from them. liability issue, i assume.

Does anyone know what the price on the Electric dryer is by itself? I purchased a washing machine earlier and would like to get the dryer that matches it....

I wouldn't count on the Best Buy deal unless you want to stand in line about 24 hours to get the deal. A friend of mine told me that Best Buy had only like 3 sets to sell for B/F and the first in line gets those

Barely got in on this one. Had a heck of a time with the 10% Mover's coupon (had to go back to the store yesterday after the deal ended), but it worked after escalating to Customer Service, the Appliance Manager, and finally the Manager of Customer Service who did it without a problem. Delivered today and working great. Thanks OP!
