Re: Westinghouse or Omega!!?? 2Oct 20, 2008 2:50 pm Hi, I would also be interested to know ppl's experience esp with Westinghouse as our cooktop and oven will be from there.
My parents have had 2 Westinghouse fridges in my 34-year life - the old one is still out the back keeping drinks cold so their fridges are good at least! Re: Westinghouse or Omega!!?? 3Oct 20, 2008 3:05 pm It really pays to become a member of Choice magazine -- they do appliance comparisons, and Westinghouse often comes out on top (we bought a Westinghouse dishwasher, cooktop, oven and rangehood for our current home, based on the Choice reviews).
Fisher & Paykel also rates well... but European brands are often rated poorly, either because of expense, poor performance, or cost of replacement parts. Whichever you buy: make sure there's a local repair agent! Re: Westinghouse or Omega!!?? 4Oct 20, 2008 7:38 pm My parents had Westinghouse before...
forced to retirement after 30 years of good service... mum just got sick and tired of the old look... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: Westinghouse or Omega!!?? 6Oct 21, 2008 8:01 am My Westinghouse fridge needed to repaire after 12 month just after warranty expired, then another 12 month, it finished. May be I was back luck Re: Westinghouse or Omega!!?? 7Oct 21, 2008 8:06 am I had a Westinghouse upside down Fridge for 12 years which was fantastic. It got damaged in our move to the UK. We bought another Westinghouse Fridge when we moved back to Australia. As for ovens I had a new Westinghouse Gas oven installed about 6 months ago and I love it. It's a great oven. Happy at Home |
