August – what was hot, hot, hot.

Another month, another top seller’s list. August saw some similar trends from July. Many popular models were still as popular throughout August as they were in June and July, and continued to be sizzling hot. Having said that, when I looked through the top sellers list for August, there was still an array of appliances taking our sales by storm. So once again, out of hundreds of our best sellers, I’ve chosen several to stand proud in the spotlight.

Heat me up…
Cooking as a category is always a popular one (as you can imagine), I mean everyone needs something to cook with, whether it’s an oven, a range cooker, microwave or hob, everyone needs these appliances to well, cook! Or at least attempt, for those of us who aren’t budding chefs or bakers. So, what was hot, hot, hot in the world of cooking in August? With some incredible deals currently on AEG ovens, there is no surprise that they are selling like hot cakes.

Cooler than cool…
We always need reliable refrigeration, whether you have a big family, like to cook a lot or host parties for you and your friends. A reliable, functional and aesthetically pleasing fridge freezer is a must. We sell hundreds and hundreds of fridges, freezers, American style fridge freezers and wine coolers, all in various sizes, styles, colours and efficiency, but something to suit any and every kitchen.  We have some fantastic models, hundreds in fact, so it’s impossible to narrow the selection down. However, I have picked a few of our August best-sellers, well they’ve been best-sellers for months and months now, and it’s obvious why.

Let’s start with the Bosch KAG90AI20G American style fridge freezer with ice & water and HomeBar. This fridge freezer has an impressive 522 litre capacity, flexible shelving and compartments.

No water outlet is needed with this model as it’s a non-plumbed ice & water dispenser. Frost free with a moist balance salad crisper and deodoriser, this fridge freezer is a winning choice.

If you don’t require something as big, then the Panasonic NR-BN34AX2-B 60cm frost free fridge freezer with 339 litre capacity is something to consider. Incredibly popular because of its A++ energy rating, electronic touch controls, FreshCare fruit and veg compartment, ChillerCase with low humidity for meat and fish and HygieneAir anti-bacterial function.

Wash and dry…
Laundry… the Bain of our daily lives. Washing and drying clothes can be the biggest chore, especially if you’re anything like me and leave everything until the weekend to do. Meaning I end up with 5 different piles of washing to get through! There is nothing worse than having a rubbish washing machine or dryer, that doesn’t do what you need it to. Therefore, we need an advanced machine with all the latest and fancy technology. I mean you can buy washing machines now that you can control via an app, from the park, pub, or anywhere.
