My partner has just moved over to Den Haag and whilst chatting to him on the phone tonight, he wondered where he could get an iron, as well as a laptop and a kettle! He's only been there a day and hasn't really looked round yet, but the equivalent of Argos or Dixons would do. Any thoughts people? Anyone got any shops they could recommend for electrical appliances?

For the laptop (and related) stuff, the store is It's :

Looks like they have the iron ("strijker") as well:

and the electric kettle (I'm assuming your friend wants an electric)
("waterkoker")

There's a few in the Den Haag area:

PS: I did cheat and asked my Dutch husband, but I also looked up Sony authorised dealers in the Netherlands. It's is Sony authorised.

V&D. Dixon's or PC Shop for the laptop is also a good alternative, V&D (Also have a good electronics department) or C&A for household stuff.

Thanks everyone. He stumbled across a Blokker yesterday so managed to purchase an iron and a kettle. the other links will be helpful for purchasing a laptop. Ta v.much

Hahahaha.... Good one Mish! Didn't think of Blokker, hope you educated him enough that he knows how to make a cup of Tea himself?

He phoned me up the other morning at 7am and said "where's my cup of tea?" cheeky monkey. .

Did you answer "I haven't seen it! Where did you have it last?"

In addition to Its I would also suggest either Harense Smid (if they happen to be near you), Mediamarkt or if you already know what you want the Kijkshop (which is like Argos).

mishimoto

Hmm, seems like nearest Harense Smid is in Dordrecht

If you're looking for second hand as well, have a look at Marktplaats; the second hand site in The Netherlands Oh, and Iron is Strijkijzer / Strijkbout in Dutch (probably most hits with the latter) and while you're at it you might as well search for Strijkplank
