As many of you know I have been at North Itasca Electric Cooperative a little over 22 years! I love meeting new people and being a part of helping you pick out your appliances. North Itasca Electric has a lot of great members and I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you.

My goal is to help you find what you’re looking for at the best price! I enjoy it when I can put together a package of appliances and offer a 5, 10 or 15% discount, depending on how many you buy. The more you buy the more you save.  We offer a variety of appliances from high end to low end to try to accommodate everyone’s needs and budget.

When purchasing appliances for the Co-op, I’m always looking for good deals that I can pass on to you.  Most of the places we purchase appliances from will offer special deals on certain items every month to try to move more merchandise. A lot of businesses will turn around and sell the merchandise at the normal price instead of the discounted price to make a greater profit. Being a cooperative, we pass the savings on to you! 

Occasionally the manufacturer will offer promotions at big discounts to get retail stores to put their products on their floor. I have had people come in and see something that they like, then look at the price and say, “well it must not be very good at that price!” Yes, sometimes that’s true, you get what you pay for, but not always. I’ve gotten a range in at $599, then when I reordered it was $800.

Samsung just offered discounts on some of their models, so I have some great deals on the floor.

I also want to mention that I have a great selection of Speed Queen appliances in stock. Speed Queen has been rated #1 in Consumer Reports for the last 3 years and has been built to last 25 years.

 Remember we offer contracts to members who qualify. To qualify you need to be current for three months in a row.

Stop in to check out all the good deals we currently offer.
