​When you’re in need of replacing a broken or inefficient appliance, it’s natural to wonder “are used appliances worth it?” Our answer is an enthusiastic “YES”! Here are three great reasons to consider buying used for your next appliance…

Are Used Appliances Worth It?

#1: Save Money
While this is the most obvious reason, it shouldn’t be understated. The savings when buying a used appliance over a new one are very significant. You can easily save 50-70% off of the listing price of new appliances and sometimes more! This makes used appliances an ideal option for families on a fixed budget, college students, rental homes, or anyone who is interested in saving a significant amount of money.

#2: Many Used Appliances Are “Like New”
There is often a perception that used appliances are worn down and on the verge of falling apart, but when bought from a reputable dealer, that’s not the case. In fact, many fully refurbished appliances can easily be mistaken for new! You don’t have to sacrifice quality when it comes to buying used. A properly refurbished appliance should last you for many years to come.

#3: Save Landfills
This reason shouldn’t be overlooked. If we don’t maximize the life our appliances, we unnecessarily burden our landfills. When our landfills are overfilled, they cause pollution to land and water. Buying used appliances is a great thing we can do to help our environment.
​
Look For A Warranty!While it’s clear we think used appliances are a great option, it comes with a word of caution. Don’t buy it from a private party on a “for sale” site like Craigslist. When the appliance hasn’t been professionally refurbished, you don’t know for sure what you’re getting. Buying from a reputable dealer that offers a warranty on their appliances is highly recommended. This way you know it has been properly refurbished and that they stand behind their work.
