[Req]A Good Washing Machine [Bosch, etc.]!

Doodlebug

Hi all,
Looking for a good washing machine after my old Zanussi finally gave up completely.

Anyone spotted a good bargain or bought one of these brands (or similar) on sale recently: Miele, Bosch, etc. Their usually pricey, but worth it I think.

Thanks!

Power city and discount electrical in Dublin seem to have the best prices at the moment with their sales. We went with D.E. in the end because we were buying a 2,500 euro range, a washing machine and a dishwasher and they knocked a few extra quid off unlike P.C. Hope this helps.

Thanks sweetie!

Its good to find a place that'll knock a few bob off when you're buying a shed-load of stuff!

I'll just be buying a washing machine though - and a toaster if I'm feeling generous!!

In the market for a new washing machine myself but havent had a chance to do much about it yet.

Planning on checking out Curry's though who ahd an offer in the paper for a Bosch 1400 spin washing machine for €379. Had done a bit of reading up on them and Bosch came out very well in reviews.

Was told about a different offer in Power City for a Bosch (not sure what model or the spin) which was €419 and included a free power washer and Remote control car!

Power City do that Bosch for €369. There also able to knock 10% off the marketed price during the sale. AND if you have a cheaper quote from another shop, they will also undercut that

apparently this crowd www.baize.ie usually have good prices on slightly scratched products including bosch washing machines, would probably be worth giving them a call.

Doodlebug

Thanks for the tips lads! I'll have a look around and try these suggestions as soon as I get the time!

That www.baize.ie looks interesting - never heard of em, but I'll look into it!

And Seamus Watters Electrical - thanks - I'd never have found that unless it was posted here!

dereko1969

doodlebug - could you post back if you find anything good at baize?

Doodlebug

I will of course post back with whatever I find, dereko. Might be a while before I get around to it tho! Not the most organised at the moment!!

Large white goods cost a lot to service IF they go wrong (and they do not always go wrong) , Currys may sell you the stuff cheap but their service is awful and very expensive in my opinion.

I would go with the local retailer who can handle faults and in a lot of cases the local guy will swap out a crock of **** machine for a better one while Currys will refuse to do so outright once they have your money.

I've been to baize before (glasnevin) and it wasn't that impressive. Was looking for a bed at the time but noticed their electrics range wasn't great. They may have improved but the website hasn't changed much since I first saw it.

Hi All

Took your advice on Seamus Watters Electrical but your number was wrong got through to some other place. got the right number in the end and have to say that the service and staff knowledge was excellent. they advise you on the product that suits your needs and they stock all top brand names which i had researched before shopping around. they were also the cheapest i could find. oh and the correct number is 048 30868296. Worth giving a call.
