Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Oh man I’d love a Miele one but don’t know if I can justify the cost. Some of the Bosch Series 6 dishwashers seem decently priced at the moment.

    I see those Bosch Series 6 are about $2.5k, we only spent $2k on the Miele (sorry I can only find the paypal email with the price and not the model). It was on the consumer recommended list but I don’t have access anymore because my Mum cancelled her subscription 😆.

    Probably going to try one of the online ones that have 100 day trials so I can return if we’re not happy.

    I didn’t realise that was a thing! How do you get it to the post shop to return it? 😅

    To be honest I really don’t rate most Russell Hobbs small appliances.

    Nah me neither. They all feel like generic appliances that get a Russel Hobbs sticker on them. I wouldn’t be surprised to find the same appliance for sale in other countries with a different logo.

      Heathcotes (local to me) has a Series 6 for $1699 currently, however I need to actually confirm our old one is broken… we haven’t used it since the other night. Do you remember where you bought your Miele from?

      I don’t think it comes or goes back through the normal couriers 😂I know the likes of Ecosa usually just donate the returned mattresses to the salvation army and just get them to pick it up in their trucks. We’re thinking of getting a latex one from peacelily.co.nz. And also trying to figure out how to dispose of our old mattress if we do keep it!

        I just ordered the Miele online. I installed it myself and disposed of the old one ourself (after it spent ages in the shed). Councils usually have tips on disposing of whiteware.

        Wow, they must have massive markup or maybe just a low return rate.

        You might also be able to donate it! If not, $1reserve on trademe.
