These days not everyone has the budget to spend up big on household appliances. There are a bunch of scenarios where things can get tricky financially like just after Christmas or the holidays when we are still recovering from ‘living the life’ (even if it was just for two weeks), if you have other things to consider like car repairs or school fee’s or even if you are moving out and starting again after divorce. A new fridge is often the last thing you expected to be paying for when the emergency funds are already stretched. We all have standards but the budget seems to have other ideas (am I right??). So what can you do? Well you already know where we are going with this one. Factory second appliances. If you’re shopping for a new fridge this is the money hack you need to start the year. Smart girlies and bro’s look for shortcuts to success like paying less but getting essentially the same thing. There are always deals when you look and here is our guidance on buying a fridge in Brisbane, for less:
Buying a factory second fridge
So what exactly do you get when you buy a factory second fridge? Is it the same as a secondhand or used fridge? Nope not really. Factory seconds are usually floor stock / display stock or goods damaged during delivery or fridges people bought before they measured the space (don’t do that BTW). That sort of thing. The damage is usually superficial and sometimes not even noticeable but most importantly it does not affect the fridges operation and you still get the manufacturers warranty. So you can see how this is a smart shopping budget hack for buying household appliances like fridges!
Choosing a factory second fridge
When you are choosing a fridge first decide on the size. The new fridge needs to fit into the kitchen so measure well and then you know where to start narrowing down which fridge model you should choose. Next think about door configuration. Two door, single door, top freezer, bottom freezer, fridge freezer or just fridge? Depends what you need it for. And then there is the finish you want – does it need to match the rest of your kitchen such as the stove and dishwasher. Brushed stainless, white or black finishes are common.
