Guys,
It seems that it is not just Maseratis that are cheaper in the UK.

Kitchen appliances such as ovens dishwashers, washing machines etc etc are MUCH cheaper in the UK than in Australia - often less than half price!
I figured if it was easy importing a Maserati, how hard could it be importing a few white goods?
I have done some research and plenty of others have already done so.
The only down side is lack of warranty but with huge savings, some repairs along the way may not be too much of a problem. Additionally, these brands will hopefully not have too many issues.

Anyway, I'm going to join the bandwagon!

So the question my dear Maseratisti mates is where is the cheapest place in the UK to buy Gaggenau, Miele or siemens appliances???

Cheers!

Appliancesonline.co.uk
Appliancesdirect.co.uk

I've bought from both of them before. Don't know if they are the absolute cheapest though.

Appliances Online we use them all the time now cheap and great service


Yup. Used them recently to replace our fridge and they were stupidly cheap.

We were a late afternoon delivery and chatting to their driver and mate, who looked like they had just run a marathon, I learned that they had done SIXTY deliveries that day. That's some going in London traffic.

I don't know if they'd reach Melbourne on that roster. ;)

Thanks guys.
They don't seem to carry Gaggenau but do carry siemens and Miele.

Gaggenau seem to have its nose raised so high in the air it's looped back to stick its head up its own ****...no one seems to want to sell it online - it's all "call into our luxury showroom for the full gaggenau experience..." So you may find that one more difficult.

Look at online prices in France - they are even cheaper than UK... I recently bought an oven and a fridge there for 75% of the UK price; that's some difference.

No different here really. Both Gaggenau and Miele will not even allow their retailers to discount any of their items.

We have all Gaggenau in the kitchen and just had to replace the unit that lights up the gas burners....$600!!! and it's only 4 years old. IMO this top shelf stuff just isn't that much better performance wise than the second tier brands. You pay for a lot of stuff to go wrong. It's a bit like fully optioning a car, you get a lot of stuff you'll never use so why pay for it in the first place

Fisher Paykel? Expensive? haha. They are a 'run of the mill' brand in Oz. Kiwi brand. Very good though.
