Best Buy Dehoses Washers...To Save Money?
You'll probably be doing this too as soon as Eddie hears about it. Mr. Green

I work at a Best Buy store and I discovered this bit of information while going through employee news. Whirlpool and Maytag top-loading washers will no longer come with the inlet water hoses (the hot and cold water hoses), but they will be sold separately.

One could say getting dehosed is better than hosed...

Makes you wonder how much control a seller has over a manufacturer with what accessories come with an item.But I think it's the manufacturer juggling for profit.Eh,how many electric dryers & stove come with a cord?...

It's not any retailer. Whirlpool is doing it to cut costs. This is happening internationally - by Whirpool. Our rep came in a week ago and told us this, so yeah, it's happening at Sears too.

However, the Kenmore brand will still have the hoses.

Nice. With the stacking kits also included, the Kenmores now have additional added value.
