Major appliances and hardware are best purchased in furniture super centers, where prices are lower. In general, prices for appliances are fairly comparable to what you might find in Europe or in the U.S., while home electronics, such as TVs and home entertainment systems cost a bit more. Home electronics can also be purchased in most furniture super centers, but you’ll probably find better service and advice in an electronics store.

Markets
If you are looking for a bargain and feeling lucky, you may also want to check out the entertainment and electronics market at Gorbushka. But make sure anything you buy is taken out of the box, plugged into a working outlet, and demonstrated to be in working condition before you buy. The same applies to DVDs – most honest sellers at Gorbushka have a TV and DVD player on site so that you can inspect your purchase to make sure the disc contains what the box promises before you buy.
