keltong 4 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 OK guys, report time.Just came back from the warehouse sales. Reach there at about 10.30am already quite a lot of people. They have lots of display sets on sales for Hood, Hob and Oven. Some of the Oven are still super new.Saw some fridge (non-color, silver only) on display but is under the FOR EXPORT ONLY section. Guess means no warranty? Didn't have time to ask as I was rushing.Zoom in on the no.1 thing I am looking for. DK302 Vitroceramic 2 burner. Only got one, UP $499 selling at $330. A very nice sale person Steve came and approached me, was concern the stainless steel area is a bit tarnish, assured me that it can be clean and got someone to clean it up for me. 1 down.Next is a 60cm chimney hood. Saw at showroom Delizia on offer at $399, but Ariston UP is $719 not sure got offer or not. Saw 1 unit current model HES 60 F.1 IX and a few older model (think is without the 'S'). The filter area slightly dented, and Steve offered to swap both pieces for me with other display units. Very happen, damage $359 (the older model selling $339).Finally, the oven. Went there looking for FB 51.2 IX, showroom offer price is $619 (UP $689), warehouse brand new price is $589. Display unit (only 2 and one SOLD) at $489 only. Wanted to buy liao but Steve than tell me he will recommend only 2 models (unless I am a heavy user), one is the one I am looking at FB 51.2 IX, the other is FZ 61.1 IX (note the newest model is FZ 62 C.1 IX). UP $819 now display model at $619. Explained to me the difference and let me make the final decision. Told me don't even need to consider FZ 62 C.1 IX (UP $999 display unit I think is $689, some $719). After carefully considering the difference, and the money I already saved, I decided to go for the FZ 61.1 IX which looks nicer too. He helped me to pick out the best one (among the 3 units which are almost brand new).Delivery charge at $25 for up to 3 items.Total damage: $1333.Things to note:1. Display unit comes with 6 months warranty only (compare to 1 year for normal unit).2. Delivery date is up to 30 days else $40/month for beyond 30 days.3. Not all display unit are equal, so choose carefully.4. Please do not hold me for my word, check it out yourself and decide, I don't mind display unit (since they are never turned on) but it may not be your cup of tea.5. Lastly, I am a happy man.

xaleysan 2 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Hi, Can I check if anyone know if I bring back kitchenaid mixer from States, will the voltage difference affect the appliance? Hi, When I attended a baking class, I met someone who bought a KA from US. The voltage is indeed different and cannot be used here. She told me she has to buy an additional something (i'm sorry I can't rem what it is called) to make it work with the voltage here. That something is not cheap, and she regretted buying it back from US. Perhaps will be better to buy when they have promotions here, save all the trouble.
