"Buying new kitchen appliances can be one of the more stressful purchases. There are so many factors to consider, not to mention they're pretty expensive. Some stores offer payment plans and, occasionally, decent deals, but you're still likely to fork out a pretty penny for most appliances. There are plenty of arguments for buying secondhand, but it's certainly one of the best ways to save money on kitchen appliances."
"People often mistakenly think that large appliances like fridges shouldn't be bought secondhand. In truth, the opposite tends to be true, and many are perhaps some of the best machines to buy secondhand. That's because these appliances can run fine for years with minor or no issues. The life span of a fridge may be even longer if it doesn't have any faulty parts; however, for your best bet, opt for one that isn't older than 9 or 10 years."
New kitchen appliances are expensive and stressful purchases, even with store payment plans and occasional deals. Buying secondhand or refurbished appliances can substantially reduce costs, especially amid rising prices and potential tariffs. Some appliances and many kitchen tools perform well when bought used, while others are riskier. Refrigerators are often good secondhand buys because they can run reliably for years; choose units under nine or ten years to avoid higher repair costs and technician reluctance. Careful selection and knowledge of what to look for can yield excellent secondhand appliances, but outcomes can vary between very good and very poor.
