Buying appliances in Panama City is most often done at Panafoto, which has 7 branches, including one on Calle 50, at Albrook mall, and in the Multiplaza. They have the best selection
out of most every store, so you can find exactly what you are looking for, or at least pretty darn close. (Broilers… you won’t find them in a Latin American brand of oven.)
Be careful when buying appliances that you buy sturdy ones. Spikes in power can cause problems on fancier models. It is almost always best to go with trusted brands you know, rather than go the cheap route and pay for it later.
In addition to Panafoto you can find good deals on appliances at Price Costco, but they have the most limited selection. They have 3 branches in Panama City: one in El Dorado, one in Los Pueblos shopping center, and one off Via Espana. (They also have a branch in David, which is good for retirees in Boquete.)
Other stores with large appliance selections are Raenco and Rodelag, both located on Transistimica Ave.
Shop around between these stores, and ask around for any sales. Sometimes you can find virtually the same thing at a way better price depending on the store.
Is there a website for these stores?
especially panafoto and Price Costco???
thanks
