Hi,

I read through Depreciator's post about dyson vacuums and, was prompted to ask this question, what are the time and tested appliances you have had, which are well worth the price?

Dyson vacuums are, for me, top of the line and well worth the price.
Webber BBQ - we bought ours more than 8 years ago and the ignition stopped working. Sent them an email and Webber sent the part for us free of charge.

I like things which are "built to last" and do not mind paying the "premium" up front. What are yours?


Cheers,
T

 

RM Williams boots but I am 90% certain one of the SA staff took my credit card details and started spending big it.

 

+1 weber. I have tried others since mine did die and nothing comes close. sadly they now have front to rear burners and I loved the old side to side burners. I am buying another tonight. Tip for parts. Buy them from USA shipped to "MyUSA.com" and save a mint. eg Flavouriser bars but now they also come std as stainless which helps. And when weber sell stainess its a quality steel not like a chepo bunning BBQ which will rust away.

IMO Dysons are crap.They say "no loss of suction" but dont explain the dust will fill and limit suction in no time. So their claim is a pure embellishment. Their internal motor filters also get filthy and are so expensive and almost nobody knows they exist. Cost v performance is appalling. Way too noisy. A $89 Bunning Ozito wet and dry is ten times the power but certainly not something I wouild recommend. It will lift the carpet off the floor. Dyson IMO is up there with their hairdryers and fans which choice were scathing about. "Worse than a open window".

Beko dishwashers. Terrific design, Priced well and 5 year warranty included if you register. Great removable and adjustable parts all colour coded. They include an adhesive foam strip for the floor which is a simple and super effective cockroach breeding solution. No more roaches. Brilliant !!

 

Miele is my brand!
We have oven, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, all well over 10 years old.

The Dishwasher gave-up last year so bought a new one, luckily was under promotion so didn't pay too much. Hubby who dislike DW now is the sole operator!

The Dryer is hardly used but is very intelligent; it decides when it'd stop. Wonder how they hadv such technology back then.

Vacuum is the same. Refused to jump onto the bandwagon with Dyson after reading lots of reviews so got a Miele. Not as quiet as the previous Electrolux but very good performance.

 

We have Miele dishwasher! Good brand and well worth the money.
