If you're a reader of the Consumer Reports Home & Garden blog, you know that we regularly cover the $300 million State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program, otherwise known as cash for appliances or cash for clunkers for appliances. (We've also started following the Obama administration's proposal for the $6 billion Homestar program, aka cash for caulkers.)

Take our informal poll* on the appliance-rebate program:

If you need a new refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, heating and cooling equipment, or water heater, among other products eligible for a cash for appliances rebate, the rebate program will save you money on your purchase. And visit the Home & Garden blog for updates on cash for clunkers for appliances.
