Appliance Shopping

So even though it's quite early for this, we decided to go down to DirectBuy to take a look at appliances over the weekend.

We finally settled (I hope) on an appliance set that thankfully is within the budget. There's just one small catch: we're on budget only if we take advantage of a manufacturer's special Christmas Rebate that's only good unless we place our order before December 25th of this year. We'd be saving $800 off approximately $5,000 worth of appliances - the Cooktop, Double Oven, and the Dishwasher - so it's definitely worth it.

This complicates things quite a bit, however:

1. We're not anywhere near ready for appliances to be delivered, so I don't know if we can order (and pay) now, and specify a delivery much later.
2. We can't draw for appliances until they're installed, so we won't be compensated for purchasing them until that time - we'll either have to put them on a credit card, or reduce what little money we have left even more. I'm sadly leaning towards the credit card.
   

Here's what we've (tentatively) selected:

LG Model LCG3691ST 36" 5-Burner Cooktop:


With a Faber Tratto 36" Hood overhead:



LG Model LWD3081ST 30" Double Oven:



LG Model LSC27921ST Refrigerator:



LG Microwave LRM2060:



LG Model LDF7932ST Dishwasher:



Whirlpool Model WFW9400SW Washer and Model WGD9400SW Dryer:



I'm hoping they can delay the delivery so we won't have to worry about storing them. I'll have to check and see.
