What a fantastic way to save a few pennies! Borshch, which is hard to spell but easy to remember,…read morereally took the expense and hassle out of buying appliances for us. Borshch is a family run discount appliance store open to the general public. From fridges to freezers, AGAs to tumble dryers, any and all appliances a family could want are found here. There are two types of item to be found at Borshch -- discount items, which have minor dents, scratches or small beauty damage; and new items. The new items are priced competitively, but not vastly lower than Comet or Curry's. The discount items, with minor surface damage, are heavily discounted, at 20% to 50% less than you'd find anywhere else. The warehouse is located in a slightly dodgy, very run down part of industrial Birmingham near Digbeth. The shop itself, however, is very neat and nothing out of order. The sales people are all very friendly, and know their appliances. Borshch also deliver within a 20-mile radius, for a flat fee. We took our fridge/freezer home ourselves, and the man very graciously helped us load it in the car. They have a very large selection of items, including American tumble dryers and top-loading washing machines (Maytag! OMG!).

This is a brilliant place, especially for the present Credit Crunch times. They sell a vast range…read moreof electrical white goods like washing machines, fridges, cookers, etc. The catch is that each one is slightly imperfect, but they sell them at greatly discounted rates, and some of the problems are very minor - for example, you might get a minor dent on the side of a washing machine or something like that. It hardly matters if you're going to have it built in, and you can save a lot of money. It's well worth a look if an appliance has broken down and you're a bit short, or even if you're a property developer or something like that.

This is the store that supplied all of my kitchen appliances recently and I would definitely go to…read morethem again if I needed to. This large shop is mainly a showroom presenting almost everything you would need or desire in a kitchen. They show and supply all of the large appliance brands. The brilliant thing about this shop is the owner who also deals with most of the customer orders. He really knows his stuff and can give you invaluable advice. We were ordering a few items at once but he easily switched his knowledge from ovens, to fridges, to sinks with ease. They arranged delivery and fitting of all the items with care and ease. After consulting the internet their prices are just as cheap as anywhere else.

There is something about Warehouse stores that excites me, partly it's the sheer range of products…read moreon offer but also it's the feeling that you're in amongst the bargain hunters and about to fall upon some hugely discounted product and make a huge saving. Brittanic stocks a range of items for your abode from furniture to hi fi equipment but on my visit I kept my browsing to a minimum and sought out the latest addition to my tool box with the purchase of surely the most impressive of all cleaning devices, the Steam Cleaner.. Now I know i'm in danger of sounding like an Infomercial here, but when it comes to certain household chores the Steam Cleaner will no doubt put a smile on your face. I never thought i'd have so much fun cleaning a bathroom but with the aid of a pressurised hose I was dancing between taps blasting those hard to reach crevices with glee, the bathroom didn't know what had hit it. No doubt you can order something very similar via the shopping channel or over the internet, but for me there'a a great pleasure in making my purchases in person. Brittanic Warehouse is located just behind the Central Library near the College Of Food.

If there's a job to be done around the house, then I'd rather someone else do it than do it myself…read more And I'm lucky(?) in that I follow in my mainland European roots by renting rather than owning my home, so it is usually up to someone else to arrange and carry out repairs. This shop is particularly handy for one thing. The owner must have close links with someone who works at a weather station. He always knows when it will snow and as soon as the blanket of white falls there will be plastic sledges on display. Its either that or he has loads of sledges in storage somewhere and just plonks them out front, but that's not a very mystical or magical explanation. So, when Argos have run out of human-propelled snow vehicles, and you are at a loose end, here is where to come.

If you ever need a light bulb, WD40, a handful of nails or a gazillion other DIY related items,…read morethen this place is king. I have never gone into this shop and been unable to find what I'm looking for. It is stacked from floor to ceiling with useful stuff. The staff are really knowledgable and helpful. The last time I went in I needed some clear grout for the kitchen. Had absolutely no idea where to find it, what it was or how to use it. When I turned up in the shop I also had my son in the pushchair. The guys behind the counter patienty explained what I would need, went to get it for me as I couldn't manoeuvre the pushchair round the narrow shelves and then showed me how to use it. Thy even fitted the grout ino the gun thingy for me. Now, that is hat I call service. The price is good, the service great and it's a bit like a DIY grotto, what more could you possibly want from a local shop.
