Brand new Parmco Cooktop model HX-2-9NF-INDUCT in original unopened packaging with 7 year (84 month) warranty valid from 22.9.21.

This is a warranty replacement for our cooktop, but unfortunately this new model is slightly smaller than our previous model (which they no longer make) so our existing cut out in the bench is too big for it.

Features

An induction cooktop works by using magnetic energy to heat the pot or pan, put simply – the pot is the element. This 900mm frameless induction cooktop features 5 heating zones and touch controls not to mention an inbuilt timer and child lock function. This is the ultimate for the serious entertainer and beyond.

Specifications

Power Settings: 9

Hob Type: Induction

Control: Touch

Function: Timer

Heating Zones: 5 (min. 1200w - max. 2000w)

Cooking Area: Fixed (1 x 2000w, 2 x 1500w, 2 x 1200w)

Surface: Easy clean

Safety: Excessive heat protection

Heat Indicators: Yes

Child Lock: Yes

Power Supply: 32A electrical supply

Retail Price (priceme.co.nz 23.9.21) $1,269 - $1,499 (plus shipping for most retailers on the site). Also selling on TradeMe for $1,299 (plus shipping from Auckland).

Asking lowest price less GST = $1,100 (firm as we now need to buy a new induction cooktop that will fit the bench cut out with quality and warranty similar to Parmco)

Pickup is in Prebbleton

Contact Katrina 0212890169

Price: $1,100

80-year-old retail veteran yet to face a dull day after 64 years in the industry

Happy Tuesday neighbours,

When 80-year-old Barry Souter landed his first job in a clothing store 64 years ago, the retail industry looked a lot different.

Customers were not able to browse the shelves but had to ask for clothes to be brought out from behind the counter. When a sale was made, Souter had to handwrite the sale docket. And stock-taking was very much a manual task.

But through all the changes, Souter has never stopped having fun. “It’s the people that make it. Human interaction is what keeps us all going.”

Souter’s first job was at Hallensteins in Dunedin when he was 16, and he worked for Munns in Christchurch for a long time before opening his own business in Bishopdale nearly a decade ago.

A new eight-screen boutique cinema in Christchurch is now operating under level 2 pandemic restrictions after a gala opening was postponed by the level 4 lockdown last month.

Silky Otter cinema in Wigram had a soft opening on July 31 and was just starting to build momentum when the level 4 lockdown took hold.

Silky Otter chief executive Neil Lambert said he hoped to hold an official gala for the new cinema around the opening of the new James Bond film No Time To Die on October 7.

The growing cinema chain is New Zealand owned and has a two-screen cinema in Auckland as well as the new Christchurch eight-screen. New cinemas are planned in Ponsonby in Auckland, Nelson and Queenstown.
