Reconditioned Appliances?

ItsNugget

Anyone else bought any reconditioned appliances? Recently picked up a washing machine and fridge from this crowd and found their prices really good.

Hi there, just looking on their web site now. How is you washing machine ? Still working ?

Looking at a Thor for €210 DID electrical. 6 KG, 1200 spin. Any advice folks. Thanks in advance

You get what you pay for, simple as.;)

Ever wonder why a Miele or Samsung costs €1000.
Miele has a 25 year guarantee.
Thor is exclusive to DID, I think, same way as Finlux is exclusive to Harvey Norman.
If you're just doing 2/3 washes a week and don't overload it, it will last for 4-6 years.
Don't treat the door (hinge and lock) roughly or the selector controls/buttons as if they are tractor controls.:D

thor is the same brand as powerpoint and supplied by shomar maybe best to avoid it and go with a beko which is better or a 6 kg 1200 spin zanussi which retails around 259

Thank to everyone. Going for a Beko. The water is full of lime where we live and even though we have a salt system, its very hard on appliances like a washine machine. Cheers !

try a wpro magnetic anti limescale device its 20 euro and could help with the lime

None of the Zanussi's are Chinese anymore, they stopped those. Most are coming out of Poland now.
