Sound bars, entry level up to ~$500?
Go.
i bought a q70roff a family friend for 400 (used about a month) before they decided to get a full 7.2 surround system. not helpful for new things but it sounds good, connects to everything I have (apple tv, tv, computer and phone for music).
Nice. Cheers barnz
DishwashersâŚ
We need to replace our 20 year old Bosch, just doesnât clean & the way it did when the Bombers were a functioning football club.
Any clues, advice?
Wait till the Dons are functioning again, and maybe it will come good again.
or canât you wait that long?

Ive never heard anyone buy one that hasnt gone on to see them last for ages to be honest!
I would pay a little bit more for a 5 star energy and 5 star water model. Just to save in running costs.
Probably recoup any premium you otherwise pay.
My washing machine died this morningâŚwent into Good Guys and grabbed a Bosch front-loader 9kg jobby for $1220 plus $99 for delivery, installation and removal.
Had the Fisher and Paykel 13 years.
Nobody can wait that longâŚ
Itâs time.
We just replaced out hot water system after 20 years, so we way in front.
Good idea re 5 star energy & water, will do.
Was gonna ask this very question right nowđ

Siemens. German made, 5 year warranty (when I bought mine a few years back).
Solid machine, suggest getting the cutlery âtrayâ on top and avoiding the older cutlery basket style so you fit in more plates

Got this yesterday.
Straight out of the box didnât like it. Handle way too massive, and didnât feel right. Wife hated the plastic on the inside.
Sent it back without being used

Got a Polk Signa S2 recently, $300 down from $? RRP. Itâs ok, does the job for tv. Not great on music, but I didnât expect it to be. Wireless sub is handy if you want versatile placement.

Musicwise, been upgrading the system in the man cave. Got an oldish Yamaha HTR-5960 reciever on Gummy for $80, absolute bargain if I get a few years out of it. Replaces a similar but lower spec Yamaha. Also added a new Yamaha NSW 100 sub (the death of my old cash converters Jamo was the catalyst for the whole rebuild). Added 2 front tower speakers, Polk Signature S50. I was using old Jensen bookshelf speakers up front, which have now gone back as surround units for the 5.1, which is probably what theyâre intended for. Also got an AT LP120X turntable about a year ago which is great although fully manual. I thought the sound was ok before all this, but itâs a whole other level now.

Yeah so my phone is just about dead, screen glitching and a google search telling me its probably been dropped one too many times. (trade period)âŚ
Whats the good oil on phones?
Work phone is an iphone, my home is android(and the one that needs replacing).
So I am platform agnostic.
Do I just pony up the dosh for a new $ iphone?
