Think its agreed front loadin washin machines are better than toploader ( is that not a band that is to loud and with words no one knows ) but .........
One thing I am looking forward to is getting a place that has room for a dish washer .
Should i buy here or there ?

MrsDagboy

We just looked at dishwashers on the weekend (renovating, aheeeeeem, starting again, our kitchen), prices start at around $800, here they have water & energy ratings so you can make a better choice & parts will be easier to get. Warranty may also be a factor.

Also consider 2 other things. Not every aussie house has one or a spot for one, so if you bring one with you, you may end up with it stuck gathering dust in the garage if there is nowhere to put it. And secondly, if a house does have one, its normal for it to stay with the house, so you may end up with the one you bring stuck in the garage gathering dust (again!) as you'll have 2.

I would definitely wait til you get here.

Crickey left behind when you sell a house in oz !!!!
Any other "white goods " this happens to ?
Thanks Mrs Dagboy

MrsDagboy

Its normal to leave the cooker & the dishwasher (at least here in Qld). Other whitegoods usually get taken.

Those toploading dishwashers are a right b******d

Perthforme

I think the trade guys call that a sink

spalen

, you should be an estate agent , "this house comes complete with a top-loading dishwasher, very reliable, never breaks down"

Perthforme

I'm no plumber best we ask Rooksie is a toploader dishwasher a sink?

Perthforme

Last i heard Toploader were touring or had split up

Yes many houses do come with dishwashers, so I would wait until you get here. We paid $899 for a stainless steel Lg top of the range jobby, I did some bargaining at Myers, they price match any other store! I have seen the real cheapo white ones for $450.

well there was me all set to bring mine after leaving my last one at my old house wich was intergrated in to the kitchen i bought a freestanding one so i could take it where ever i went lol
im still gonna bring it and if i end up with 2 just means i gotta buy more dishes

tinaj

If you have space bring it! We brought lots of stuff some of it we never used though. Our freezer still sits in the garge unused, we use the fridge though for beer!

If you buy an older house the dishwasher may be useless anyway, our one lasted 3 months then died

yeah im just gonna stuff the container full still brining patio heater (might have to paint it to cover up rust first though) hope i can get gas for it over there as b&q is always sold out of it here

spalen

If there is one thign you can get here, almost at every corner, its Gas. Big bottles little bottles. Petrol Stations, B&Q type stores, everywhere... This is bbq country !.

You will not regret bringing that patio heater ;-) just off to buy one meself when rain stops
