Hubby and I have been helping Kevin save the Australian economy.
On the weekend we managed to find me the perfect bike at a Christmas market.
And then while on the search for a pedastal fan we managed to find a front loading washer/dryer.
And it was a BARGAIN.
Now I have been talking about buying one of these for sometime. I'd even done a bit of internet research and narrowed it down to two brands. But we had decided that there were a few other priorities around the house and that there really isn't anything wrong with the 10 year old Fisher and Paykel washing machine that we have. The dryer on the other had had lost it's lint filter so managed to make the laundry and my adjoining office appear to be slightly out of focus as it covered everything with a fine fur.
Then we wandered into Camerberwell Electrics and while we were there for the fan (and maybe a High Def HD recorder - another story for another time) we thought we would just have a look at the prices of the WD's.
In my little bit of internet searching I had seen them for between $2,200 and about $3,000.
We managed to get our silver beauty for $1799 including delivery and they took the dryer to dryer heavan for me.
It was the one off the floor. Now I'm partial to floor stock. They have to sell it. They want to sell it. So if you appear interested enough they will start throwing in incentives without you having to ask. We managed to get the free delivery as well as substantial discounts on HD recorder, the fan and a cafe style sandwich press!
And the machine didn't come with a ridiculously large box that I would have to get rid of.
So now I have fullfilled a childhood dream of having a front loading washing machine and one Australian probably still has a job.
