Places to buy electronic items in Sri Lanka

Post by Saman » Sat Mar 06, 2010 5:10 pm

I'm going to recommend Dinapala (Nawala showroom) for TVs, setups, Digital Cameras, etc... I recommend them here due to the same reason, The Service. The set of friendly marketing guys were explaining about products in terms of quality regardless of their profit. The units I bought from them are working for years now without a problem. I bought following items.
Panasonic TV (29")
Sony theatre system (Really fantastic.. this is my love)
Sony Digital Camera

I would also like to recommend Wakishta (Boralesgamuwa, Attidiya) as well. Following are the items I bought from them. Their after sales service is really good. Very friendly owners and workers.
Sony TV (21")
DVD player

I recommend Singer washing machines.
I bought one semi automatic and it is working for years without even a noise. I recently bought a fully automatic washing machine from Singer Mega and it is really good as well. Worth for the price. However a person told me it is made in Sri Lanka by Damro.

Fridges... I use LG from Abans, However it was broken ones and I had to pay Rs. 7000.00 to get it repaired even under warranty though they have given a fair reason for that. However I was able to get my fridge back in about a week. (Living without a fridge for 1 week....can you imagine?)

A/C machines.... I was using two used air conditioners for about 8 years and I have decoded to replace them as the electricity bill went too high after rate changes. I bought 3 LG air conditioners (2 Neo Plasma ones) and those have given me expected results in terms of electricity bill reduction and quality of air. I must comment their service team. They are simply excellent. They use to call me and remind the services and charge me a very reasonable rate for services.

Electric ovens... I own a Alba (Italian) that bought from Singer Mega. It came with 3 gas burners, 1 electric burner and the oven. I simply love it as I do not get any complain from my wife. I heard lots of complains from my mum earlier when I had to replace burner heads of standard 2 burner cookers.

Ceiling Fans... I bought several(about 10) Indian made fans earlier as those were very cheep. Most of those gone out of order within few weeks to months. Later I bought one made by Orange... It is very good and I do not hesitate to recommend it here.

For computers, I can only tell you about InkTech (Tech information systems) for now. I can't recommend them for now as I only got one warranty replacement from them and I had no problem with it. However I need time to recommend them to you 100%. I have put a complain about some shops in complains section of this forum.

Please share your experience as well.
