Despite the setback, I am glad to say that Best Buy, Home Depot, and Sears
are all very accessible when shopping for home appliances.
I ended up going with Sears in that when I visited the stores in addition to
looking up the appliances online, the Sears staff treated me with courtesy
as a client and not react otherwise because I am a blind person.
