Why Choose Whitegoods Seconds for Your Home?

Posted on by appliances

When you’re shopping for a new appliance, be sure to consider factory seconds. These whitegoods sell at clearance prices because they exhibit small dents, scratches or other minor cosmetic flaws. In some case there are no flaws, the item has simply been unboxed or on display.  You can gain several benefits when you choose to order seconds online and have them delivered to your home.

Best Value

These whitegoods cost substantially less than standard products, yet they’re still new. They offer modern technology as well as the latest features and designs. Imperfections normally don’t affect an appliance’s function or reliability, and some may be hidden from view after you install the equipment.

Convenience

Online shopping and home delivery allow you to save a considerable amount of time. You won’t have to sit in traffic, wander vast stores or wait for an employee to assist you. Likewise, you can conveniently complete the shopping process at your leisure.  If you see a product you like just make a product enquiry and we’ll respond quickly.

Home delivery maximises safety and prevents damage. Skilled professionals will transport whitegoods to your home and place them in the desired locations. You don’t need to have moving equipment or a large vehicle to order seconds from a warehouse.

Why It Makes Sense to Fit New Home Builds With Factory Seconds

Posted on by appliances

Property development is a major undertaking, and requires the involvement and expertise of a multidisciplinary team, as well as a partnership with a reputable, reliable builder. This is why property developments are always associated with huge investment.

On top of the costs of building construction, there are a number of expenses to be considered. These include town planning costs, head works, civil works, council contributions, professional service fees and taxes. Failing to account for these during initial feasibility checks can lead to unexpected out-of-pocket expenses amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

So if you’re a developer looking to maximise your investment in your new home builds, factory second appliances are an excellent alternative to new. These appliances include dishwashers, ovens and cooktops, and fridges, which are among the big-ticket items that require substantial investment on your part. However, opting to fit your new-builds with factory seconds, will provide significant savings.

But what, exactly, are factory seconds?

All companies and industries set their own standards of quality regarding each product. Of course, these quality standards vary widely depending on the type of product in question. For example, the quality standards for tiles can hardly apply to paint, as the latter are designed and manufactured in adherence to different quality and safety standards.

My Appliance Broke Down! Help!!!

Posted on by appliances

It never happens at a convenient time (if such a time exists.)

When a major appliance, such as a refrigerator, oven, or washer, breaks down, it always seems to occur in a bad spot.

Maybe relatives have come down to visit for a few days.

Perhaps your family is hosting Christmas this year.

Or maybe a vital piece of household equipment fails right before you plan to leave on a trip.

At times like these, you forget all about the convenience it offers the rest of the time. You just want your appliance to work again.

The Frustration

Broken appliances cause both hassle and havoc. When you lose a refrigerator, you must figure out what to do to keep food from spoiling. A malfunctioning stove and oven can limit your cooking options to microwaves and outdoor barbeques.

Worst of all, a broken washer and/or dryer will leave you gathering your clothes for laundromat runs that take hours from your day.

You need help right now to restore your home’s function and sanity.

The Question

Shortly after the feelings of frustration settle in comes the question. Repair or replace that appliance? Continue reading “My Appliance Broke Down! Help!!!”

Making the Switch to a Steam Oven

Posted on by appliances

What is a Steam Oven?

The newest craze in healthy cooking would have to be the not so humble steam oven.  But what is a steam oven?  Well,  it’s just that – an oven that cooks with steam.  Some use steam entirely whilst others work in combination with the usual convection style of cooking.  There are also ovens that are ‘steam assisted’ but are actually still a normal convection oven.

How do you use a steam oven?

You can do almost all of the usual cooking you would normally use your oven for including baking, roasting and grilling.  The controls are fairly similar and they still use electric power.  If you use the steam only functions or ovens then you’re not going to get the brown colour you’d normally expect when using traditional ovens.

How to Choose an Oven

Posted on by appliances

Buying an oven involves more than simply going to the appliance store and picking a colour that matches your kitchen. The ever increasing popularity of cooking shows has created a kitchen savvy market that aspires to bringing the gourmet experience to the home kitchen. Today’s ovens offer more styles and features than ever before to help skilled amateurs cook to their full potential.

What the Professionals Look for in an Oven

Professional chefs consider the kitchen environment and their own needs as a cook when looking for an oven. First, the oven buyer must make the most basic selection, choosing whether they need, or want, a gas or electric oven. Another important basic that too many overlook lies in the space requirements for the oven, particularly if it is a replacement.

Next, professionals and amateurs alike should consider the choices at their disposal, including:

  • Conventional ovens that simply use radiated heat
  • Convection ovens that use a fan to evenly disperse heat in the oven, leading to more even cooking and faster times
  • Specialised steam ovens and conveyor ovens are designed to cook very specific types of food. Some ovens combine convection and steam features
  • Try to avoid using a microwave oven at all costs when aspiring to cook excellent food

Once you choose the basic type of oven you want, think about other features that can make the job of cooking easier and more effective.

What Else to Consider

Make sure to research the different types of features available that make cooking easier. Some newer models of ovens feature an expanded glass door, giving you a better view of what has transpired inside your oven without opening it and releasing heat.

Another feature used in times past, but regaining popularity is the dual oven. These enjoyed great popularity in the 50’s and 60’s when wives and mothers had all day to prepare feasts for husbands and children. Society has changed somewhat since then, but today’s marketplace has still appreciates the joy of cooking large scale meals for family and friends.
