Home Appliances


Liban Where is the best place to go to, for good prices on decent brands for such home appliances like fridges or dishwashers etc...? I've been to Carrefour and Geant, but obviously they do not negotiate. I have little love for the Supra crap sold at Jumbo for that matter... Anyone??? :angel13:
kanelli After our search Carrefour was the best - we got all of our appliances from them. XRW-147 Liban, I can try to get u a deal at Plug-ins but its at Al Ghurair. Liban
I don't mind Ghurair as long as I can get a deal TONIGHT :) shafique We ended up buying all our appliances from Plug-in - they beat Carrefour's prices, but initially insisted they don't discount. Getting a discount via X sounds like a very good deal. Let us know how much discount you got. Oh - and actually the people who delivered our merchandise were the agents of the manufacturers and nothing to do with Plug-ins - so we had 3 separate deliveries on the day - so it doesn't really matter where you buy the appliances from in terms of service (at least for the better brands who have service centres here). Cheers, Shafique Chocoholic Normally if you buy seveal items from one store they will give you a bundle price, that includes Carrefore. Sometimes it's good to shop around and play stores one off against another as many carry those, if you find it cheaper, we'll match it deals. kanelli I've never heard of Plug-In :shock: XRW-147
Sorry matey, I only saw ur message late last night. Hope you managed to sway a good deal. XRW-147
K, they have almost as many shops around as Axiom... ok well, slight exageration on my part... but still plenty of stores around the place. The ones I normally go to are in Deira City Centre and Al Ghurair. XRW-147
True that Shaf, I managed to get prices well well below carrefour when I bought my things.

Chocoholic Plug-Ins are pretty good although their staff often don't have much product knowledge. Carrefore pretty much always undercut them for price though. kanelli We rarely shop downtown because we live in Emirates Hills. If we need any other appliances we'll have to check that store out. fayz Understatement of the year :lol: :lol: , Sadly this reality exists in most stores in Dubai i find. The best thing to do is research on the internet, determine what exactly you want and then head to the stores for pricing.
Best of luck Lib and let me know how you make out, in 3 months I'll be moving and will need to get appliances. XRW-147 Ditto Fayz. You can't expect to go into a store and get good product advice here. Really need to know what you want and how much you want to pay for it before going into the store otherwise they'll have a field day with ur wallet. Liban Well I ended up going to Carrefour, only after I nearly got into a fight with the manager at Geant (another story for another day)... I got pretty good stuff, exactly what I wanted. Didn't get a dishwasher yet, will probably go find one this weekend at Plug-ins. Thanks for all your help people. No matter how many flames we may launch, you guys remain awesome!!! :D XRW-147 Liban, are you and K on good behaviour bonds? People are being so sentimental today... all together now... "awwwwwww" kanelli
Liban, the dishwasher is a great place to save money. I was talking with some other friends who are also only a couple, and they say they hardly use their machine because it is just quicker to wash the dishes by hand for only two people. I also only wash our dishes by hand. Something to consider, but do ask your wife first! XRW-147 Gotta agree with K. I've got one and the only time I've ever used it was when I first cleaned all my plates cause I couldn't be arsed hand washing 3 drawfuls. Pretty much hibernating for the past 10 months now. Liban Dishwasher is a good place to save money.... Thats true. But we are also the kind that leave things pile up till the last second and then we have to wash 2-3 days worth of pots and pans and dishes/glasses/cutlary... When we cook Arabic food, we use alot of dishes and pots :) Our time is worth more to us than a few thousand AED for a dishwasher... We'll get one soon enough when it becomes financially sound for us to do so... Renting a villa can be soooooooo expensive!! :oops:
XRW-147 Your point holds true as well Liban, in your case u just stack them in there and they stay out of sight til they are cleaned. Well worth ur investment in one. Liban
Bingo!!
Saves us from dealing with fruit flies too that are attracted to dirty plates... :( d What about bringing appliances over from the uk folks, like tv/dvd/pc etc? Will they work over there? Liban
Yeah, you guys have the same voltage and frequencies as the UAE... Your TV signals are PAL also like here...
Your electrical connector might be different but thats cheap to buy... XRW-147 Plugs here are the same as UK. Liban
I stand corrected exaredoubleyou-onefourseven... :) GAB Three pin square, same as UK. d thanks to all Concord Better yet, dishes, glasses, pot and pans seem to be cheap just throw them away after each use! Not that the paper or plastic ones. arniegang
thats because you never go shopping K
