Fridge/freezer & washing machine dilemma
Hi all
Quick question for advice on what you lovely lot have done in what's likely to be a common situation. I leave on sat. Hubby leaves mid August. I'm hoping to find a rental property by beginning of August. Shipping will only arrive late Sept which means that we won't have a fridge or washing machine for a good little while. We own a washing machine but it will be in the container. We don't own a fridge as ours is staying in our property that we're renting out. Do we buy a nice (half price at Comet) fridge freezer and put it in the container and get a cheapie off trademe for the first few months or do we just wait and buy a new one as soon as we move into our house? Possibly quite a bit more expensive... Same goes for washing machine. I can manage with 2 fridges if it comes to owning a cheapie and a nice one. I think having 2 washing machines is excessive! I've heard that you can rent white goods short term...is this true as it would be a life saver if it was the case. Tried to rent something here for 6 weeks but minimum rental is 12 months! Daft. Thanks in advance Jen |

we hired a washing machine from Mr Rentals and bought a single fridge/freezer as our large american style fridge/freezer was on the container. As you say having 2 fridges isn't going to be a problem

We washed by hand and bought a small table top fridge which becomes very useful at a later stage as a manfridge for beer!;)

Thanks Chippy64. I have a Kiwi colleague at work who suggested centralrentals. Will probably go with them.
I think we will end up buying a fridge here and hire one in the mean time. I think they look better quality and even if you take off the rental costs, are still cheaper than the NZ ones. |
