Christmas is next month, I repeat, next month! And if you’re anything like me, you’ve left everything to last minute. The shopping, the cleaning, the cooking! Oh no, so much to do with only moments to spare, if that.

Appliances Online’s own Legend Blimp has returned to Melbourne – notice anything different about it?
No, the blimp isn’t blushing. And we didn’t put it through the wash along with a red t-shirt, either.
Instead, we’ve turned the Legend Blimp pink in honour of Cancer Council Australia’s Pink Ribbon Day, which aims to help women diagnosed with breast and gynaecological cancers.

All too many of us have a small collection of single-use small appliances cluttering up our kitchen cupboard - everything from ice cream makers to bread makers, rice cookers and juicers.
