Bosch Appliances - Where to buy any suggestions??

I'm looking to fit out a new cottage from scratch, I've always been a fan of Bosch appliances in the past, I've a fairly good idea what I'm looking for in terms of the specific models.

Does anyone have any advice where to buy from, I'm looking to buy roughly 6 appliances - Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine, Tumble Dryer, Microwave and Dish Washer... I'd hope to be able to negotiate some form of bulk discount, does anyone have any advice, experience or suggestions, I'm located in the Bristol area and could collect them if required, but don't need them installing.

I've looked at Comet/Currys/Dixons etc and the supermarkets but have found cheaper at Boots' and Next's appliance websites (they seem to be run by the same company) and Hughes Direct, but wonderd if anyone had found better.

    Try a firm called Champs Gas & Electrical in Cheltenham, they are known for being aggressive on prices, plus they are a real shop.

    what about your local Euronics centre?

    By far the best service and always competitive on price, obviously that's talking about the local one to me, but so worth a try.

    I know my local one stocks all models, and I am just buying a Gorenje hob and oven from them with 5 year warranty, that I am having fitted, delivered and old one taken away within the price of what I would just be paying for the oven if I went elsewhere.

    Here is info for their website if you fancy looking into Gorenje http://www.gorenje.co.uk/cooking/built-in_ovens?c=242081

    Hope you are successful in negotiating a good deal.

    Have just bought a Candy washing machine from Laskys online as they were the cheapest.
    I noticed that they do a multi appliance discount scheme, which should suit you. Do not know if they do Bosch though. Free delivery also.

    Edit. Just checked, yes they do stock Bosch.

    I bought a load of appliances from appliancesdirect.co.uk. Got a good price on Neff stuff so I imagine they do Bosch too.

    You could have a look here http://www.clearance-comet.co.uk/ as there can be some bargains. I bought my Bosch Fridger-Freezer there, a few minor scratches, at almost half the in-store price.

    I have bought my washing machine and dishwasher from a small company in Stonehouse, Glos which is onloy about 30 mins from Bristol. Its situated on the Gloucester road and is a small family run place who also do repairs. I got my Bosch Black washing machine for £140 less than Currys!

    They are John Kerry and sons. Gloucester road stonehouse, glos 01453 824404

    Thanks for the info about Kerry, I tried them, they were very helpful but not able to match Boots Kitchen appliances, the total price for the bundle of items I wanted came to £1854 inc del from Kerry's, the Boots price came to £1805.99 inc in del, or if I went for a combination of Hughes direct/Boots £1754.99 inc del.
