We decided to take L to Lowe’s to look at countertops for the kitchen cabinets. He had different ideas about what he’d like to look at, and ran around the aisles a bit.
On our way in was the line of appliance floor models they were selling. At the end of the first row was a gorgeous black Bosch dishwasher on sale for 50% off. E ran through a string of floor monkeys trying to get them talked down even further, getting denied each time until she finally talked to the manager. He agreed to take another 10% off, for a total of 60% off the retail price. We tossed it in the back of the shaggin’ wagon, and went home.
Behold, in all its glory:
Our old dishwasher was a hopeless piece of trash that’s already been serviced twice through American Home Shield and has to have its knob wiggled to get it to even start a cleaning cycle. One of the tabs on top that screw the dishwasher to the underside of the cabinet broke off, and the kickplate has long since disappeared.
Despite not being in our original budget, the Bosch is truly gorgeous and in hindsight, much needed.
