ANOTHER day of appliance shopping & these were even MORE $$$ BUT, they were Maytag (LA ARTISTICA I believe is THE Maytag dealer for CR) so better quality & bells & whistles, BUT – more $$ (how about $1,130 for a washer [that had a BIG tank AND – NO aggitator that sticks up in the middle, wearing your clothes out & a think for bleach, a thing for detergent & a thingie for softner!!] & the dryer was around $850 [but it had a shelf that fit in it where you could put your shoes & they didn’t go flopping around – CHIVA!!] & in black!!).

It’s VERY TRUE – even the used ones are expensive here. So what’s a girl to do.

I TOTALLY second ibarnon about bringing it from the States if you’re bringing a container (a decision I STILL bless EVERY DAY when I look around at MY unique things that I wouldn’t have been able to find here & sure as heck not at the Ross, Homegoods+ prices I paid!!!) as it’s LOTS cheaper for MUCH better quality!! I bought a used stackable washer/dryer at a used appliance store in Tampa for $400. When I first moved here 26 months ago, they were around $850 but now they’re $1,100-$1,800!!! I’ve bought used appliances that have lasted me 6 years (before I sold them to move cross country with nothing).

SO, does anyone know anyone selling some good quality appliances for a 1/2 decent price (new or used)??

THANX Ruth! I started the list because my good friend is looking for all new appliances & I was trying to find out where to go. We JUST got back from going appliance shopping & I gotta tell ya – we went to 5 places & the QUALITY was LOW!! LOTS of plastic & cheap looking! NOW – anyone have EXPERIENCE with these places? Like what store has the best prices but with QUALITY? How about if price isn’t as much of an issue but quality is? HELP!!! She’s seeking a fridge (even better JUST a fridge – don’t need a freezer since they mainly do raw foods & vegetarian) & washer/dryer. She’s ok with stove/oven. THANX!!

This is after the fact for the original poster but others can gain from it:

I’ve heard quite a few times that Brenes & also Malaya in Sarchi are two of the better priced furnitures makers (per a few people that know as well as 2 people in Sarchi)
