Trail is really the big gun in town, particularly if you want the mid to high end brands. I found Sears could GET me the stuff I wanted but they were absolutely resolute in NOT giving me a package deal, despite I was dropping about $10K with them. They would only match a price, not give me a deal - why would I screw over another person who's worked to cut me a deal? Apparently it's a directive from head office - something about a competition bureau ruling.

Great service by Trail - their delivery guys gouged my wall - I sent photos and they comped me an acceptable amount in cash, with no haggling.

Coast Appliances is the other major store, but I found the brands I wanted were not carried by them.

Check Consumers Reports for reliability ratings - you'll find different manufacturers have different ratings by type of appliance, it's interesting.
