Maybe you’d love to have a convection oven. Or maybe you’d just love to have all stainless steel appliances. Problem is, new appliances are expensive. Most of us always understood that. We understood that inflation happens over time, too. But, the recent pandemic caused production and distribution issues that increased costs for many products, including household appliances, which according to the Consumer Price Index, increased more than five percent since June 2020. In fact, the cost of refrigerators and freezers alone increased nearly ten percent.

You can still purchase appliances and keep your costs down, however - purchase refurbished or Scratch & Dent appliances.

Refurbished Appliances

When an original appliance owner returns the machine to the manufacturer and the manufacturer repairs and updates it, the appliance is considered “refurbished.” The appliance may have been damaged and may have even stopped working. But, again, the manufacturer completely fixed it and replaced all the old parts with new ones. The appliance now runs as smoothly and effectively as a brand new ...
... appliance – even better in some cases.

Refurbished appliances offer significant savings and are definitely worth the purchase, that is, if the seller offers you at least a thirty-day warranty to make sure the repairs and updates properly work.

Scratch & Dent

When a manufacturer or store damages an appliance – perhaps during shipping, storage, or display - a scratch, dent, or ding somehow appears in the appliance. Such are “Scratch & Dent” appliances. The mars could be small or large or easily repairable with appliance paint. They could be on a side you’ll never see (i.e., on a side that faces a wall). Or, maybe you won’t even care about the damage (the appliance may sit in a basement or garage). The appliance nonetheless completely works and no one has ever before used it.

Whether you want a Scratch & Dent appliance is up to you. Remember, it’s completely new, works perfectly, and you can purchase it at a significant discount.

Again, it’s best to make sure, even though the appliance is new and works well, that the seller offers you at least a thirty-day warranty.
