Hello Roadrunner,
The best shop to buy from by far is right on your doorstep!, Electro city on the dublin road. I spent 3 months pricing electrical stuff for my new house that I bought in waterford. I was looking for a rangemaster elan 110 with matching hood, whirlpool american ice maker fridge in black, and Samsung 42" lcd with stand. The best quote i got was from K&D in waterford with 6500 euro. I then tried Electro city and got the lot for 5200 euro!!!! I could not believe the diffrence in price. The staff are a great bunch of people and very helpful,they even gave me free delivery to waterford after some haggling.
I could not believe that after scouring the entire country for a good price, the best place was right on my doorstep ( I am from kilkenny originally )
ps I have no affiliation with any stores mentioned, just a very happy customer
