FAQs

A. Not always. We have 1000’s of product lines to choose from and it is almost impossible to have everything on display under the one roof. If you have a specific item that you would like to view, please contact us first before coming into the showroom to check if there is one available to see.

A. We are a business to business company therefore our products are suitable for business customers only although we realise that members of the general public will have special needs and we are happy to assist in these circumstances.

A. We offer two(2) models of RENTAL. 1) Our own in house RENTAL (RENT2Buy) where there is no minimum value and 2) The Silver Chef RENT-TRY-BUY option with a $2,000 minimum value.

A. Both RENTAL options have a minimum term of 12 Months.

A. Both RENTAL models offer the same options after the minimum term. They are:

1. Keep on RENTING and we keep reducing the buy-out price
2. Hand the equipment back without further obligation
3. Purchase the equipment outright and receive approx 75% off of the agreed price

A. This is where the RENTAL options DIFFER greatly. Our in house RENT2Buy option gives you “Lifetime Warranty Whilst Renting” (some conditions apply) but generally you will never receive a BREAKDOWN account.
The Silver Chef RENT-TRY-BUY option is covered by Manufacturers Warranty ONLY. As with equipment purchases once the WARRANTY has expired you are responsible for repair costs.
