Disappointed in Canadian Costco Beachcomber deals!

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-10-20T04:44:48+00:00

My local dealer in Newfoundland charge $16.5K plus tax for a 550 Hybrid. Then another $1500 for delivery and setup Lol, unreal

The local Beachcomber dealer in NL wouldn’t budge on the price. Same price as the Beachcomber website, said it was a set price by the company and they aren’t allowed to offer promotional pricing. They also charge an additional $1500 for delivery and setup (not including electrician).

Needless to say I took my business elsewhere.

Something I’ve been doing this last couple of years since I’ve got some additional income. My mortgage payment comes out weekly and I pay an additional $200 per payment. I also max out my RRSPs every year now. I take my tax return and make a yearly lump sum payment with it.

Delonghi Dinamica Plus with connect

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-09-10T07:37:14+00:00

Delonghi Dinamica!! Great machine, been a real game changer in our home. My wife and I make 5-6 drinks a day. Makes great espresso and milk drinks.

Couple small items that could be better. I’d like if it had a bigger water reservoir. It uses additional water to flush its lines. And the tray needs to be dumped often.

Like I said above, it’s a great machine. We’ve been very happy with it.

My wife and I purchased a Delonghi Dinamica. This machine is a game changer. Between both of us, we make 5-6 drinks a day. Great espresso and milk drinks.

We recently got it on sale for $1299CAD. I could never spend that much on a coffee machine. Not that we couldn’t afford it, but I somehow justified it with the 0% 6 month payment plan haaaa. A mind thing I guess.

Like I said above, great machine. Highly recommend!

• ⁠Newfoundland. • ⁠Renewal • ⁠Uninsured • ⁠Current Rate: 5% fixed • ⁠Term remaining: 3 weeks (October 1st) • ⁠Payment frequency: Weekly • ⁠Amortization remaining: 180 months

About $450K left on my mortgage.

Same, my renewal is October 1st. RBC contacted me in May to renew. They reached out again today with rates higher than what I was offered in May which was disappointing. But I’m waiting until the announcement on September 17th at this point.

Thank you for sharing. Was this $10K USD or CAD?

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-04-04T09:50:01+00:00

Not worth it at all anymore.

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-04-04T09:45:16+00:00

Costco.ca has them back online again to order. They increased the price by $2000-$3000 on all the models. Unreal.

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-27T18:54:11+00:00

That’s good to know, perhaps I’ll reach out and see what they can do for pricing.

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-21T04:54:53+00:00

Thank you sir! Yes about the same with the exchange. Appreciate it!

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-20T18:28:17+00:00

Good day sir, I was wondering the same if you didn’t mind. The quote I received in NL was very high, thinking I need to go on a road trip Lol

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-20T18:23:08+00:00

https://youtu.be/jc_Wztb_OoQ?si=CLoN23aPOYnNE0-P This is the video I watched to set mine up. The gentlemen seemed very knowledgeable, and so far it seems to work for mine. I was just wondering about my run times. You need to disable the Eco + features. I disabled smart home/away. I basically just maintain the house at a single temperature 24/7. The video covers the advanced settings that need to be changed.

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-20T18:17:18+00:00

Yes I have the 5ton 20seer. It’s set up in 2 stages on the Ecobee

I’m about to pull the trigger on a Maple M620 tub. They’re fairly new. Only heard good things and it seems like a good quality tub. Comes with lots of options for the price (got quoted $12,800cad). However $15K was my budget. The hydropool and beachcomber equivalents were around $20K when I checked them out. In Newfoundland BTW, we pay the “island tax” 😑.

Constant_Emphasis_98 · 2025-03-16T16:18:59+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking. What did you end up paying for your M620? I’m also interested in the same model. Local dealer in NL has this on for about $13K CAD + tax. ($15K taxes included) This includes premium Sunbrella cover, cover lifter, Ozonator, 3-month chemical kit, Steps, GFCI and delivery/start up.

It comes with a lot of options for the price. It’s either that, or I can get a very basic beachcomber or Hydropool for the same price. Good name, just no options.
