Second Hand Washing Machine |
A washing machine is a must-have appliance in any home. You cannot keep buying new clothes so having a washing machine is mandatory. However, new ones, even the lower specification ones come at pretty hefty price tags. Not everyone has that kind of money. For such people, the most common alternative is to buy a used washing machine.
So if you are someone who is planning to buy a second hand washing machine, here are some thing that you should keep in mind.
- Physical ConditionIf you are buying from random individuals you met on the Internet, we strongly recommend that you go over and check the machine in person. Relying on photographs is a horrible idea. When you see the machine, check for dents, scratches and rusting in the internal parts. Try spinning the drum with your hand and you can even ask for a wash cycle demonstration.As the washing commences, check for leaks, unusual sounds, and proper drainage. Any failure in the smooth functioning should be an indication of bad condition.
- Age & Service History Anything more than 10 years is a concern. You will need to check the service history in detail to see if the machine has been needing frequent repairs and maintenance checks. If that is true, it is possible that you’ll have to continue that and spend quite a bit on regular upkeep.A machine that is less than a year old would probably be in better condition. In fact anything less than 3 years should be ok. However, make sure that the machine was never used harshly. Always make sure that pipes/hoses attached to it have no holes/tears and that the machine looks well maintained.
- Power Usage & Efficiency Keep in mind that older washing machines were not always very power-efficient. The more recent models are built with energy efficiency in mind, especially the 5 star variants which use as little power as possible with maximum efficiency.If available, always opt to purchase machines with high energy efficiency. That way you can save up considerably on electricity bills.
- Seller Reputation Washing machines, even used ones, are reasonably expensive. So if you are buy from someone who has no credibility or reputation to keep up, you could end up wasting all that money. Always pick sellers you trust or companies who have an online presence and therefore fear public backlash.If you are in Bangalore, buying a used washing machine shouldn’t be that tough, but always ensure that the seller you pick is reputable.
- Service WarrantyIt would be great if your seller could provide you a service warranty for the initial months at least. This indicates that the seller has a certain confidence in product quality. However, for appliances older than 3 years, this could be a difficult thing to provide. In that case, it is best to avoid purchasing the product given that it has aged considerably and is not covered by any form of insurance.
