I am moving to Arba Minch in Jan and will need to purchase some home appliances. How much will it cost me to buy a stove, refrigerator and washing machine?
Also, I will need a couch and a recliner and a table and chairs.
Does anybody have an idea how much these will cost??
Thanks for any help you can give me!!

a good quality washing mashine,聽 (not the terrible chinese top load ones that have separate wash and spin, which seem to be available all over here) will cast between 7000 and 9000 birr, a small fridge from 3300 onwards, 5000 will get you a pretty good one (for EU standards, not the huge US one though), nor sure about the stove
for the furniture, best bet is to have it made, bamboo furniture is cheap, about 15 Euros for sofa style chair for one person including cushions.
check the website for the international community school in Addis, they have pdfs with all the useful information listed
