I don't know whether to take my front loader tumble dryer to Perth or not . It only cost £100 and is very very good, only 1.5 years old. I thought because it was so cheap I should leave and buy one over there, but I can't seem to find many on the oz web sites, and if I do they don't show prices. Have done a search on here and can't find this answer anywhere. Anyone know how much one would cost (don't mind front or top loader)? And also any good web pages for finding out prices of household stuff. I'm beginning to think that in oz most people don't buy online!

are you going to need a tumble dryer? i thought that was why we're going.

If you are taking a container, you may as well put it in.

Don't know how much they are used. Obviously Australia does get winter and cold and wet! Also towels hung to dry on a line in very hot dry weather just want putting in the bin IMO

Try this it gives you an idea, white goods seem the same as here.

Bring it with you.

You'll find having a tumble drier in Perth is a waste of tme for 8 months of the year and a lifesaver for the other 4

Yes bring it...we have just had a week of rain and it was a nightmare trying to get stuff dried even inside, cos of the humidity.....I went to buy a dryer but the cheapest $400 and it was only 4.5kg load....and they were pretty shitty even the Fisher&Paykel ones

That's what verandahs are for. I have lived in OZ for decades and nver had a tumble drier or felt underprivileged for not having one.

Let's keep the green house gases down. Aren't they high enough already? A trip to the line helps boost the Oz tan.

wow, ours was about $260. dont ask me what kind or the load or even what it looks like. i havent been to that part of the house yet

The Good Guys have Tumble dryers on their web site. Westinghouse 3.5kg for $299 but less for cash, so about $262 for cash. (I normally get about 12.5% cash discount these days)

I dont want to buy one...I am totally against the bloody things.........verandahs are ok for drying when the rain isnt blowing sideways and its blowing a friggin gale I was gutted when I moved here and didnt have a washing line ....got one of them big whirlie thingies now!!!

I have been in Perth since last August and although bought my tumble have not had to use it. Will keep hold of it for now, but if you have container space bring it
