Try appliances online, Cods. They'll take the old one away too. Just make sure your measurements are right if it's an under bench. I got my washing machine from AO.

Kogan is sometimes good too.

I try to buy my appliances at Lowes or Home Depot.(home improvement/building supply stores) As a veteran, I can get a 10% discount and sometimes more if they are having big sales on holidays and I can time the purchase. Not for everybody, but great if you are a veteran.

Someone, NOT me, spilled water onto the keyboard of my MacAir laptop, leaked into the works, fried the laptop.

Now have a new MacAir, powered by Apple’s M1 RISC chip. (Reduced Instruction Set Chip)

My my, 20 hours battery life! It runs very cool. It was also cheaper than the previous laptop, $300 cheaper. Later I bought a Mac Mini added a cheap monitor from OfficeWorks. Not so susceptible to water in the keyboard.

Think next time I visit Tassy I will buy an iPad—the thought of losing a laptop or having it stolen with all my info on it not nice.

Dont buy a HP.

Biggest piece of crap I have ever purchased.......never again.
I have a dream
A world free from the plague of Islam
A world that has never known the horrors of the cult of death.
My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

Agreed and I have never, ever bought anything HP. I bought a Toshiba laptop, years and years ago. Good one but far too heavy compared to what you get these days. I don't use a laptop any longer, just the desktop which I had built for me by JW Computers in Sydney to my standards - for game playing. ;)
