Which appliance?

No matter how many brochures you pore over, there is nothing quite like seeing an appliance in situ. It is even more helpful when an informed consultant can talk you through the various features and benefits.

Harvey Norman has a specialist kitchen appliance division in each of its 20 retail stores. Here, you can see a wide variety of whiteware products on display in a number of different show kitchens. You can also talk with experienced consultants who can help you find the appliance that best suits your needs and budget.

Tane Poulson, Harvey Norman whiteware product manager, says even the most discerning customer is spoiled for choice.

"We stock many international brands with fine reputations," Poulson says. "These include AEG, Ariston, Electrolux, Miele, Bosch, Simpson, Westinghouse, Samsung, GE, De'Longhi, LG, Mitsubishi and Ilve."

Poulson says the diversity of appliances on show and the staff's extensive product knowledge make Harvey Norman an ideal one-stop shop.

"For most people, updating appliances is not something they do very often, so it can be surprising to see just how far technology has progressed," he says. "And it's not just the regular appliances. Many homeowners are once again enjoying the benefits of a warming drawer next to their under-bench oven. Coffee machines and combination microwave ovens are also in demand."

Poulson says Harvey Norman maintains close relationships with all its suppliers, who in turn equip the staff with all the information they need to make clients feel comfortable with their new purchase.
