Home Appliances - Urgent Help Needed

Smaller appliances you can find at most of the hypermarkets.  I got my microwave at Carrefour.

For larger appliances, many people go to Xtra.

Hello again,

Go to Xtra, First or Electro or even Hyper Panda. They are the Saudi version of Currys. Beware of salesperson though. Do not trust any salesperson. Only purchase what you want you like yourself. Dont let them guide you! Most salesperson will tell you porky!

For Fridge, go for Samsung (mid-range) brand. You can always go for American brands which would be about 30% more than Samsung price. You should be looking at  SAR 1500-3500.

Washing machines + dryer (2 in 1), go for LG or Samsung. Should set you about SAR 2000.

I dont know much about the rest.

I had to go through the pain of getting these items a month ago..

Happy shopping

Oh, and I meant to mention:  check the EB classifieds 'For Sale.'  Lots of times people leave KSA and are selling almost new things at very reasonable prices!

Or even expatriates.com:

You can browse through eXtra's website for their prices and even order them online and get it delivered or collect it from their store.
