Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Costco: Which retailer is king when it comes to budget-friendly appliances? We have the answer.

When it comes to home appliances, we all want the best bang for our buck. It's not just about finding a good deal; it's about finding a deal that offers more than just a low price.
One TikToker, Nick (@nldoty), recently shared a revelation that has led many to rethink where they shop for their home appliance needs. His discovery? Costco's $530 dryer deal that not only matches the competition's price but includes a whirlwind of additional benefits that Lowe's and Home Depot just can't seem to beat.

Nick's journey began with a common household predicament: his dryer broke down. After assessing the hefty $500 repair cost, he decided it was more economical to replace the unit altogether.
His search led him to Lowe's and Home Depot, where he found dryers priced at $530. However, the sticker price was just the beginning. Both home improvement giants also had extra fees for delivery, installation, and the necessary parts, not to mention an 8 to 10-day waiting period and a standard one-year warranty.
“All of that, from my perspective, was very reasonable, until we looked at Costco,” Nick said.

Enter Costco, the membership warehouse club known for its bulk goods and surprising deals. Nick's video, which has garnered over 393,300 views, highlights the stark contrast between Costco's offering and that of its competitors.
“For the same price as buying it at Home Depot, they took the old one, they delivered it, they installed it, they included all the parts, so they doubled the warranty,” he added.
But that's not all. Costco reduced the wait time to just a few days rather than an eight-day wait. The installation? A mere seven minutes. “Damn, Costco. Good for you. Thanks!” Nick said.

The comments section of Nick's video became a testament to Costco's customer-centric approach.
One user shared their experience “Bought my car tires from Costco; other places were pricing me around $800 to $1,200 for a full set,”.
“Costco [cost] $600 which included the mounting fee, alignment, and disposal of the old tires.”
“So your savings basically paid for two more years of basic membership,” another said.

Some pointed out, “They [Costco] know how to treat customers and in turn get plenty of return business.”
A commenter in a similar situation added: “As someone who has a broken dryer and was considering where to go I think Costco may be the winner.”
