A great range with our every day low prices await you. To help you choice the BBQ that’s right for you take a moment to read our helpful hints.
There are lots of cheap and poor quality imitations on the market, so look for these important features when comparing brands.

* Rust free cooking surfaces that are easy to use and easy to clean.
* Solid, commercial quality construction in a choice of materials like stainless steel or porcelain enamel.
* A modular design for total flexibility.
* High heat output for instant searing and demanding cooking requirements.
* A vaporising grid system for reduced flare-ups.
* And finally, a comprehensive warranty
* While gas bbq’s are initially more expensive upfront, they usually cost a lot less to operate

What makes a great BBQ?

Cooking Systems – Better BBQ’s generally have two or more separate burners (not just control knobs) that allow greater control of heat. BBQ’s with one burner don’t allow you to control heat as well as bbq’s with multiple burners and may result in hot and cold spots on the cooking surface.
The best gas BBQ’s quickly flash the drippings, eliminating flare-ups. The best grills use a steel bar system that funnels the grease away from the burner flames, greatly reducing flare-ups.
Solid construction – A good well built bbq is a must. Choose a bbq made of high grade stainless steel. Also try and get a backed-on, porcelain-enamel finish or a good quality stainless steel.
Grills – The best grills are made of cast iron, stainless steel or porcelain-coated aluminium or cast iron.
Cleaning – A good bbq is easy to clean and maintain.
Safety – A good BBQ lights effortlessly, controls heat easily and has handles that stay cool to the touch.
Added features – optional side burners are a great addition as is a rotisserie. Flip-up side tables give you extra space for food preparation. Also a built in thermometer is nice extra touch.
Warranty – make sure your BBQ comes with a good warranty and has a good service record.

Appliances Online – We only sell top quality BBQ’s and at the very best price!

Appliances Online 18ft Skiff Pirate Ship

The 2008-2009 Australian 18ft Skiff season is starting on Sydney Harbour this month and Appliances Online is proud to be the major sponsor of a boat for the 4th season in a row. This year we have built a brand new boat for the crew and we are hoping for some great results from our experienced crew. We have also decided that we wanted our boat to be something a little different that will stand out from the rest of the fleet and hopefully become the peoples favorite on board the spectator ferry. So we have employed 2 artists to turn our extremely high tech light weight carbon fibre boat into a wooden pirate ship. I think the pictures below describe the concept a little better, remember this boat is built out of carbon fibre which is the same material used to build most parts in a formula 1 race car.

Silver Nano Samsung Washing Machines

We have been getting quite a lot of questions recently in regards to Samsung Silver Nano in Samsung front load washing machines, so we thought we would do a post outlining the key benefits of this system.

Samsung front load washing machines silver nano health system features

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines use nano technology

The nano technology introduced by Samsung helps clean, protect and sanitise clothes being washed, on a microscopic level, so your clothes come out not only spotless, but bacteria free and the nano technology completely sanitises not only your clothes but also disinfects your drum from up to 99.99% of germs, meaning the washing machine and your clothes will last the test of time.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines ensure maximum energy saving

With the use of the silver nano technology, the sanitary levels that the technology produces, usually needs at least a 95 degree Celsius wash, meaning great amounts of energy required in heating the water. This new technology enables the same sanitary results with a cold water wash, meaning less energy is used and the same, if not better results, are achieved.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines ensures easy maintenance

Some washing machines have the downfall of allowing mould/bacteria to build up and survive the rigorous washing cycles. The Samsung silver nano technology targets all types of bacteria and mould within the Samsung washing machine to provide peace of mind and easier maintenance.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines anti-bacterial protection lasts as long as one month

The silver nano ions form a coat of protection against unsanitary conditions for your extended health and safety; it helps prevent 99.99% of fungus, mould and bacteria from forming on your garments and guarantees this for up to 30 days.

As stated above the silver nano health system technology is available in many of the Samsung front load washing machines, these washing machines include the benefits listed above and the features listed on each Samsung washing machine detail page.
