As soon as you arrive on this website it is clear that they have some sensational deals ready and waiting for you. The previous name for this site was Trade Appliances, and since these are usually much cheaper than those sold to the public, you know you are in for some good deals.
How do I locate their website?
The URL you need is www.appliancesdirect.co.uk.
How can I see all the washing machines they sell?
As you will see on the left hand side, you can shop either by product or brand. The default is set to products, so look down that list – it’s alphabetical – until you come to laundry.
Hovering over that link produces another set of links to the right. Hover over the washing machines link and more links will appear. You can then choose from integrated or freestanding machines depending on what you are looking for. Integrated ones can be found here – http://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk – and freestanding ones can be found here – http://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk.
Do they have a lot of washing machines to offer?
Yes they do – the selection is full of the latest and best washing machines on the market. There are dozens of results in the freestanding selection alone.
You’ve got machines from Beko, Indesit, Hotpoint and Candy as well as many more famous brand names. The title of each one also displays the load capacity of the machine in kilograms – handy if you are looking for a specific size.
Is there a lot of useful information on their site?
Underneath the title of the washing machine on the results page, you get a list of other features to get you started, and the price is in red on the right. You will also be able to see what the price should be; this site is well known for providing good deals.
When you click through to the main page for a particular washing machine you will be able to read independent reviews for that model. The picture isn’t really worth enlarging as it doesn’t get a lot bigger, but there is no faulting the depth of information they give you.
The product summary is given to you as a bullet point list. This makes it much easier to read as you can scan it to see whether it has the features you want. You can also go into more detail with the ‘tech spec’ tab. This is packed with details but they have split it into sections such as general, laundry, settings, miscellaneous and power, so you don’t get too bogged down in all the details.
‘Essential extras’ includes additional guarantees that you can buy to protect your new washing machine for longer. Check the product Q&A as well. If anyone has asked a question about this particular machine in the past it will be added to this section. Similarly any questions you might want to ask will appear here too for other users.
Further up the page again there is a blue tab which when clicked gives you information on their low prices. It assures you that all the appliances are brand new, and tells you why they are able to charge such low prices.
Once again the top of the product page shows you how much you are paying, as well as how much you are saving off the normal retail price. The prices are shown with VAT included, but there are buttons in the top right of the website which enable you to display the prices without VAT if you wish. You can also choose Euros.
How easy is it to order my new washing machine online?
A big red ‘add to basket’ button is provided just underneath the price you pay. This takes you directly into your basket where the purchase price is stated along with the amount of VAT it comprises.
You can save your basket if you want to come back later, but if you are ready to pay just choose between the Google Checkout system or the normal checkout. Either way, you just need to follow the directions and make your payment.
In conclusion
Appliances Direct is a great website to go to, if you want to pay a bargain price for your new washing machine. You really can save a lot of money here and with a website design that is easy to navigate and follow, you won’t have any problems finding just what you need.
