Ever been into a Fish & Chip Shop & not seen any sort of extraction hood above the cooking! I don’t think so. The idea of your rangehood when ducted outside is to take all the odoursand smoke and duct them to the outside, whilst passing through your filters the fat from your cooking will get trapped. To keep your rangehood working efficiently be sure to keep your filters clean by washing them in hot soapy water, your cooking style will determine how often you wash your filters.
When you purchase your rangehood make sure that it suits your style of cooking for example if you use a lot of oils & spice you may create quite a bit of smoke and a basic rangehood with a small airflow in most cases will not remove the smoke and smell effectively, oil will build up on the underside & front of your cupboards. This is why when you purchase your rangehood you should look at the quality, style, shape and how noisey the rangehood is. There is no use having a Rolls Royce Kitchen and a Mini Moke Rangehood, your cooktop and rangehood should work together.

Regattas in the Northern hemisphere have proven fruitful for Appliances Online sailors over the past fortnight.
Our Technical Director, Scott Babbage, placed third in the Moth European Championships 2010. Sailing on the snow-fed waters of Sivaplana Lake, St Moritz, Switzerland, Scott raced strongly across the week long regatta. Powered by thermal winds, he was beaten into third place by Australia’s 2008 Olympic Representative Nathan Outteridge and former World Champion, American Bora Gulari. Check out some slick footage of the event below.
Meanwhile, on the sun-drenched waters of San Francisco Bay our CEO, John Winning, and General Manager, Peter Harris, were joined aboard Appliances Online by Euan McNicol to place second in the ninth annual 18ft Skiff International Regatta. After 11 intense races (including a carnage strewn Bridge to Bridge from under the Golden Gate to the Oakland span) they were a hairsbreadth from taking the trophy. We are just happy to have them back in one piece after their near run-in with the Alcatraz ferry!
Here at Appliances Online we are enjoying an unseasonably warm August. With fresh blue skies turning our attention to the coming spring and summer seasons we are happy to announce the addition of 11 new Beefeater BBQs to our website!

With 20 years experience in building barbecues they have nailed down the features necessary for a great barbecue: functional design, solid construction and stylish looks.
Time spent outdoors is a hallmark of the Australian lifestyle and one that we here at Appliances Online love. With a Beefeater BBQ your backyard will be a hive of action in the balmy months to come.

On Friday 9th July Appliances Online were recognised as Australia’s leading Pure Play Online Retailer at the inaugural Online Retail Industry Association (ORIA) awards ceremony. Held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Parkside Ballroom, the gala evening also saw us take out the trophy for the Best Customer Experience in Australasia.
The ORIAs were founded to recognise excellence in e-commerce retailing. Judged by a panel of respected industry leaders, it was an exciting experience for our young company to be recognised on the night. We are truly honoured to receive these awards and look forward to playing a role in the continuing growth of online trade downunder.
Founder and CEO of Appliances Online, John Winning, was also nominated for the most prestigious individual accolade, the Industry Recognition Award, for his services and contribution to the online retail industry in Australia.
“Customer service remains the most important part of our business. We spend the majority of our time listening to what our customers need and the rest of the time giving it to them. This award demonstrates our commitment to replicating the same level of, if not better, customer service you would experience in a store, in an online environment.”
It is our customers that allows Appliances Online to stand-up, standout and deliver. In accepting these awards we thank you too!

Good morning world!
Appliances Online has moved its call centre, home and office to Edgecliff, New South Wales. Located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, our smart new work space is a short stroll from Edgecliff train station and the splendour of Port Jackson. Nearby lie the neon attractions of Kings Cross and the bustle of the CBD. It is a vibrant location to lay our roots and grow.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Project Manager Grant Hilliar-Hayes for his tireless efforts in overseeing the office refurbishment. The process has been smooth and efficient, a glowing reflection of his organisational skills and cool head.
All systems will remain in their present order despite our physical relocation. By calling 1300 000 500 you call not just a centre but a home, one where the door is always open.
Here at Appliances Online we are committed to maintaining environmentally sound waste disposal practices. It is a beautiful land in which we live and we seek to play a role in protecting this Australia for future generations.
Appliances Online recycle all used electric appliances and all packaging in which new products are shipped.
All used appliances we pick up in the course of our new product deliveries are taken by Sims Metal Management for processing. Sims is the global leader in metals and electronics recycling. In February this year they were named amongst the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World at the World Economic Forum. This is a superb effort and one which we applaud.
Appliances Online take the greatest care in delivering your goods to you in brand new condition. This requires shipping them in strong, supportive packaging.
We are committed to recycling all the packaging that comes back in our trucks. Below is footage of our man in charge of this procedure, Les.
Appliances Online: recycling for Australia, recycling for the future.
Energy consumption is an important consideration for the modern Australian household. Limiting our environmental footprint and energy bills are topics we take very seriously here at Appliances Online. In light of this, a short guide to Energy Ratings for Appliances is presented below.
The energy rating system in Australia is structured to help you easily identify the most energy efficient products.
The state, territory and federal governments are jointly responsible for the management of the energy labelling program.
It is compulsory for manufacturers to put an Energy Rating label on every product.
Appliances are rated on a scale of one to six.
Most major categories of home appliances are required to carry an energy rating label, including refrigerators, freezers,dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and air conditioners.
Please ring our sales staff on 1300 000 500 if you have any further queries. Take time to consider your choice in regards to energy ratings. Our children will thank us.
Here at Appliances Online we seek to remain up to date and informed of issues concerning our environment. With the dark and cold of winter now here and the home electricity meters spinning in response to increased usage, it is time to look at our Top 10 Energy Efficient Appliances.
This list has been compiled in no particular order due to the appearance of appliances from different categories. It is generally the most energy efficient appliance in a category that has been selected.
As winter settles around us the search for night-time warmth is here. At Appliances Online we stock a range of Rinnai gas heaters that will wrap your home in comfort through the coldest evenings.
The delight of gas heating appliances is their immediate, radiating heat. Other features include:
Gas heating appliances ‘run clean’, operating with a minimum of mess and noise.
Gas is one of the most greenhouse friendly fuel sources available.
The consistency of heat generated is ideal for warming confined spaces evenly.
Rekindle the home fires over these cold months and make your place a sought after venue. The blanket of a gas heated environment will be too attractive for your friends and family to ignore!

To keep your rangehood working efficiently be sure to keep your filters clean by washing them in hot soapy water, your cooking style will determine how often you wash your filters.
