Mums compare cheap Kmart appliances to designer alternatives
Austrlaia’s biggest appliance names were put to the test on A Current Affair this week, with cheap products from Kmart compared to their more expensive counterparts.
Heidi and Loren, a pair of everyday working mothers, compared cheap vacuums, coffee machines and toasters which can be found in outlets like Kmart, Aldi and Target to designer brands from the likes of Dyson and Nespresso.
And surprisingly, Heidi and Loren found that the cheaper items performed just as well (if not better) than the big brand products that were up to 11 times more expensive.
Heidi compared the famous $89 vacuum from Kmart to a top-of-the-line $599 Dyson and while admitting the Dyson was easier to use said, “They both sucked exactly the same”.
Loren had similar results and even argued Aldi’s $80 espresso pod machine did a superior job in producing a cuppa to the $159 Nespresso Essenza Mini saying, “It was tastier, it was hotter, and there was a little bit more in the cup as well.”
Do you go for the designer brands, or cheaper alternatives?
