Lots of places will do a deal if you are buying a few items. I know a friend of mine did this with DID in Mountjoy Sq. Discount Electrical, also there, would probably do the same.
Just ask them to give a discount.

Ring Seamus Waters (based in Armagh) 048 30868296. They will do you a very good deal in Hotpoint appliances. They will deliver free to Dublin. Or else go and get various quotes and take the best one to Harvey Norman in Swords and they will beat it... every time... They have to - their ad says it, and if they can't remind them of this...

I've been told that Harvey Norman tend to stock items which are difficult to find elsewhere (ie. exact same model/specification etc.). Sounds a bit urban legend I know, but personally, I've seen a couple of appliances suitable for my own needs in Harvey Norman, but couldn't find them elsewhere to compare price! Anyone else finding this with Harvey Norman?
Couldn't agree more to look for a discount no matter what shop you're in, especially when buying a few items.

I was in Harvey Normans before Christmas & witnessed a lady telling one of the floor guys that she had seen a particular stereo in another shop for cheaper. He told her that it had to be advertised in a newspaper for them to acknowledge & better the price. A complete joke - False advertising !

Harvey Norman is about €40-80 more expensive on most aplliances compared to DID/ Discount Electrical or so I have found. Maybe this was just beacuse before xmas they were doing the 'buy now, pay nothing until 2005' deal.
But I compared models of washing machines/dishwashers/fridges and found them to be more expensive.
I ended up getting all my appliances in DID - you get 6 months free credit, which is handy first thing after buying a house. And they deliver for free.
There is also a place near Glasnevin Cemetry - it's really just a small warehouse. They sell all sorts of appliances at knockdown prices (all legit and above board). The reason for this is that the appliances are slightly damaged - .i.e. a scratch on the side or something like that, which you won't see when ,say, a washing machine is in place in your kitchen. The manufacturers guarantee still stands, I think. Can't think of the name of the place now, but you see them advertised in the Sth and Nth Side Echo's.

Cheap applicances
Think it called Blaise House or Baise House.
It's in an industrial estate off the N2(?) by Glasnevin Cemetery. Near Woodies?

Re: Cheap applicances
I totally agree about Harvey Norman's prices.
I was furnishing a house and needed to buy the usual F/F, Dishwasher, Cooker, Hob, Washing machine, Dryer etc.
HN were nearly 400 Euro dearer then DID/Power City.
Both of them were virtually the same, so I haggled with the salesman (including going to different branches around Dublin)
and got a cash discount from both (even though I paid with a credit card).
DID ended up slightly cheaper so I dealt with them.
2 things worth knowing.
(A) They can give you a cash discount of up to 2.5% without having to go to a manager (must be a reasonable amount of money)!
(B) They pay the credit card company a fee which can be up to 3%. If you are paying by Credit Card, and as they have to pay a fee for you to use the card, ask them what will they give you off by paying cash instead! I know a guy who did it, he split the fee (1.5%) with the company!
A long shot but it might be worth your while.

Re: Cheap applicances
DID do a "double the difference" deal where they'll discount the item by double the difference in price if you bring a quote from another vendor in to them within 10 days. Usually cheaper anyway, but I was buying appliances myself recently and found a dishwasher was €40 cheaper in the Power City sale. So they knocked €80 off the price.
I've also heard that DID are probably the best to deal with if there's any problems with your goods, really no-quibble stuff. I think some of those comments I' might even have read here!

Cheap Goods
Its Baize House and they are also in Swords. They only stock major brands and will happily explain their benifits. They also do brand new boxed goods if required. The damage as stated above is cosmetic and good reductions can be had.

Buying Kitchen Appliances online
Lads,
Does anyone know of any web sites that allow you to order kitchen apliances.....cookers/washing machines etc online and deliver to Ireland.
There is a load available in the UK.
www.kelkoo.co.uk is a good start to build up a list of them but so far the only one of them I found that delivers to 'Eire' is Needless to say it only does cookers!
Anyone have any other sites?
Even allowing for sterling difference everything is a bit cheaper. But does anyone know if I would be subject to VAT if you buy from the UK and get it delivered here?
Or would I be as well off getting an old horse box to go over and buy...if I brought stuff back in myself would I still be liable for VAT?

I just had a look at the link which you gave for cooker in the U.K 'cause i am just after buying one here and was curious about the price! i bought a stoves newhome 1100DFSIDLa all gas for €1500 and it works out about €30 more on that website (price in sterling converted to euro less uk VAT plus Irish VAT) the thing to remember is that if anything goes wrong with an appliance the UK is a long way away!

range style cooker
The reason for getting this cooker was that it looked impressive in the shop! but was going to get one anyway cause we have a very big kitchen and need something to kill the space, its just personal taste really, my sister in-law has a seperate gas hob and builtin eye level oven and she finds both excellent, but i wouldnt change mine for anything plus i pefer gas for cooking especially when using the oven, do try to do a bit of baking now and again and always find the gas gives the best results, cakes are more moist than with electric which i had before.
