Electronics in Phnom Penh

Guys and girls, with my recent covid related pay cut I'm now spending more time in the house to save on money. So I've decided to focus on my health as a fun hobby while stuck at home!

Now other than Russian market, does anyone know where is good to get discounted, reliable electronics?? I'm after a juicer and blender and I'm hoping there's going to be a 50% off deal somewhere because I'm on a suuuuper tight budget.

Just stay in the house and don't concern yourself with unnecessary purchases. You should save rather than spend. I wouldn't want you to become homeless in The Penh.

Basics & older gear to be had at Central Market & you can haggle, walk away, etc. Not modern equipment by any means, but frankly sometimes the older gear is actually better without all the electrics that can go wrong. I keep a manual coffee bean grinder for emergencies!

The old Sunsimexco shops used to do pretty decent stuff, but I saw the one mid-Monivong is boarded up. The one I used used to be a bit south of Calmette on the opposite side of Monivong, maybe that's still there? Got a good deal on a TV, blender, etc there in my time here, and its usually my first stop.

Top end, no dodgy stuff - Aeon2 probably is the place to go.

It will soon be Khmer New Year with the sales starting pretty soon. There's usually a lot of discounted electronics on display outside the big stores around this time. Keep your eye out for these! Check out their FB pages for sale ads also.
