Save $50 on Select Energy Star Washers

Save $50 Off

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program recently announced enhanced incentives for residents recovering from Hurricane Sandy. If your home is located in a zip code designated as a "major" or "minor" damaged area impacted by Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible for the $50 clothes washer rebate even though the rebate is closed to the general public as of December 31, 2012. (If you purchased and submitted an application prior to December 31, 2012 you do not need to take any further action).

Customers seeking the incentive for purchases after January 01, 2013 should submit a hard copy of the application, and also include a certification form. If your home is located outside the eligible zip code list, you may also qualify for the $50 rebate by demonstrating that you have experienced damage caused by Hurricane Sandy (to be evaluated on a case by case basis). Full information on Hurricane Sandy incentives is available at http://www.njcleanenergy.com/SANDY and they also offer frequently asked questions at http://www.njcleanenergy.com/sandy/faq.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 133 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AWESOME WASHER LOVE THIS WASHER!! This washer replaced a 22 year old washer and we have come a long way. The capacity is so large, I only do a few loads a week. The washer is so quiet, you barely know it is running. 5/8/13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love this washer! I love this washer. At 1st I was kind of scared to use but once I got the 1st load in I was in AWW. I love this machine. My clothes have never been so clean and smelling fresh. My laundry room is so small and they fit perfect. I just wish I knew what the heck it was doing when washing cloths. lol but I do love this washer! 5/7/13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Best Washer Ever!!!!! We purchased this washer, even though our previous washer was still new. It washes faster, and is so much more quiet..Our other washer was a front load(it was okay)but nothing compares to this. Its holds even more than my other, and still cleans thoroughly. I would recommend this washer to anyone: Quality, Price, Performance. 4/18/13
Rated 5 out of 5 by This washer makes laundry easier than ever. I love the LG top loader--the huge tub, the choices of cycles, the ease of operation. It even has a lovely chime song at the end of the cycle. I can do 4 loads a week-for a 2 person household and bedding for a boxer pup.--a real time saver. I've never enjoyed doing laundry until now! 4/18/13
