We're buying a new gas stove for Mom CB at a Lowes store in Tampa---many Big Box stores have excellent holiday deals that expire today---and the Lowes store involved called me and said they have six stainless steel stoves, somewhat similar to the one we bought, at an unheard of clearance price of $150. The list price is $999.99.
Alida's cousin does weekly container shipments from Tampa to the DR and will do a store pick up and deliver to your door in the DR for $300-325.
Here is the stove involves:
Samsung 5.8 cu. ft. 5-Burner Gas Range, Model #NX58F5500SS
It's not the most fantastic appliance, but for the total price it's hard to beat, and certainly vastly superior to anything in the same price range available in the DR. It comes with an LPG conversion kit.
The store phone number is 813-249-6001. PM me for the phone of the Tampa mudanza if you're interested.
No dog in this hunt, just a PSA.
IMPORTANT!!!!!! Make sure you have the conversion kit for propane with the stove. It is most likely set up for natural gas.
