If you’re not quite convinced that shopping locally with us is where it’s at, here are a few reasons that’ll change your mind ...

Shopping for an appliance should be easy, so why is it so hard? There's a lot of factors that come into play when out and about looking for your new refrigerator, cooktop, or other appliance. What size you need, what style will go best, how big your family is, and if you prefer electric or gas &ndash; these are just a few things you must keep in mind but don't always know the answer to. It's understandable how that could get pretty tiring.
At Foster Appliance, it's important that you get the excellent service you need from us, so making the best decisions for you and your lifestyle are a piece of cake. We&rsquo;ve all felt the frustration of stopping at a big box store and never getting the attention needed to understand a product &mdash; let alone buy one. It&rsquo;s not a good way to spend your precious time, and it&rsquo;s not a good way to shop.
What you need is some good ol&rsquo; fashioned local store love, especially when it comes to appliance shopping. If you&rsquo;re not quite convinced that shopping locally with us is where it&rsquo;s at, here are a few reasons that&rsquo;ll change your mind.

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Superb Service
Easily one of the best reasons to shop at Foster Appliance is the customer service. It's normal to be greeted as soon as you enter the store by one of our expert <a href="https://www.foster-appliance.com/about-us">sales associates</a> ready to help you out on the floor. Often when you head over to a big box store, it can be hard to flag someone down to get a single question answered and when you call them, it can be even worse. At Foster Appliance, there's no automated answering during open hours &ndash; you'll always get a real person to talk to!
Also, at our store, we are incredibly proud of our knowledgeable staff. It&rsquo;s our goal to make your shopping experience go smooth and easy, so you can go home with the appliance of your dreams without having to worry if you made the right decision or not.
Also, because we are all about giving you an outstanding experience, we even offer financial guidance. If you happen to need a little help with your purchases, we provide special in-store <a href="https://www.foster-appliance.com/financing">financing</a> to give you a hand. Let us add ease to your life so you can conveniently bring home what you need today and start paying later!
&nbsp;
2. Continuous Assistance
When you shop local, the <a href="https://www.foster-appliance.com/our-services">service</a> doesn't just stop after you purchase your new appliance. It continues for as long as you need! From delivery and installation to dryer vent cleaning to service after the sale, we offer multiple services that'll make your life easier even after your new appliance is settled in your home.
If you are looking for a package that will give you peace of mind, we already provide the 1 Year Product Protection Plan with every appliance you purchase. But if you are looking for something more, we also offer 5 Year Protection Plans with 100 percent ROI. And it&rsquo;s as simple as calling our store for service. No 1-800 numbers, automated phone services, or waiting for a real person to help you. That&rsquo;s the Foster Appliance difference.
No matter what you need when shopping at your local store, we are here to make your life before and after you get your appliance a breeze.
&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Think About the Environment
Purchasing from franchises and big chain stores can have some detrimental impacts on our earth&rsquo;s well-being. For example, big box stores are more likely to ship internationally which adds up in money and chemical waste while local stores are more likely to reuse materials and cut down on packaging as well as transportation waste.
How can you do your part? <a href="https://www.amiba.net/resources/local-business-environment/">Helping your environment</a> is as simple as choosing to shop local at hometown stores.
&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Make the Economy Happy
Shopping locally at Foster Appliance can make your community wealthier. A <a href="https://www.amiba.net/resources/multiplier-effect/">study</a> found that when you spend $100 at your local store around the corner, $68 stay in the city. Conversely, when you pay $100 at a big box store, only $43 remains. The more you shop local, the richer your community will be!
&nbsp;
It may seem easy to pop into a big chain store to make your appliance purchases, but we'd love a chance to prove why you&rsquo;ll never want to shop anywhere else for your appliance needs. See why there really is a difference at Foster appliance and <a href="https://www.foster-appliance.com/contacts">visit us</a> today to start shopping local &mdash; because you deserve it!

Your wildest dreams are coming true: you can cook with just your dishwasher!

You never thought there would be a day in your life that something like this could happen. You never thought it was possible. But, it&rsquo;s true. It&rsquo;s completely possible to cook actual food in your dishwasher. Why you would ever do that is questionable, but we&rsquo;re not here to judge. We&rsquo;re just here to explain how dishwashers are so innovative, that not only can these machines clean, they can cook your food like nobody&rsquo;s business.
If you look at the basics, cooking in your dishwasher really isn&rsquo;t too different from cooking in your oven. Minus the soap and water, you get an insulated box with a heating element &ndash; just like an oven.
Although we haven&rsquo;t done this ourselves - so we can&rsquo;t vouch for its tastiness - there are actually some really innovative meals that can come out of one. We get that it&rsquo;s feeling a little like opposite day, but if your range ever breaks down and you really need an oven, your dishwasher is the perfect substitute. If you get extra curious about how food can cook in a dishwasher, try making one of these yummy suppers in the yours for a pleasant and unusual surprise.


<h2>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Salmon Cycle</h2>
You&rsquo;ll never look at a Salmon dinner the same way when you understand just how easy it is to cook one in your dishwasher. It&rsquo;s a dish that can easily go wrong if cooked too long at too high of a temperature in your oven. But, just by simply putting your fish in a sealed container or zip lock bag with lemon and herbs of your liking, and running a normal wash cycle, your salmon will come out perfect every time. Although your fishy meal is covered, try not too think too much about Salmon being around your dishware.


<h2>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Vegetable Vigor</h2>
When you&rsquo;re cooking, don&rsquo;t forget to throw some vegetables into the mix! Of course, we aren&rsquo;t suggesting that you throw your green beans all willy-nilly into an open dishwasher. We advise that you put your vegetable of choice in a mason jar and ensure that it&rsquo;s tightly sealed.
Generally, most dishwashers get anywhere from 140-160 degrees, which will not only destroy grime, but it will cook your food nicely, while retaining the flavor and nutrients of your vegetables. It&rsquo;s a mad, mad world.

<h2>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lasagna Load</h2>
If you thought cooking in your dishwasher couldn&rsquo;t get any stranger, you&rsquo;ll be surprised to know a full tray of lasagna can be made in one. After you grab your grandma&rsquo;s family-famous recipe and assemble it together in all its layers, finish it up by wrapping it securely in aluminum foil. Make sure there are no holes or openings where water could seep through, otherwise this could quickly turn into the grossest lasagna you&rsquo;ve ever had. Let your dishwasher run for at least two normal cycles and a heated dry cycle so that your lasagna cooks perfectly all the way through.
&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s not every day you make food in your dishwasher, but it&rsquo;s always nice knowing what your appliances are capable of. If your dishwasher is needing an update, and not just because it&rsquo;s not cooking food very well, come by our store today! We&rsquo;ll help you find the dishwasher from your favorite name brand that will clean your dishes &ndash; and even cook your food - with a powerful heat!
