Is A Used Fridge Still A Good Deal?

Any home would find surviving without a refrigerator quite troublesome. Even if it is just to store ice and water, fridges have become a staple in every home. But what can folks with limited funds do about purchasing a brand new refrigerator? Such people often go with the idea of buying a used fridge because that’s probably what makes financial sense to them. Which brings us the question of the hour - are used fridges a good deal? They’ve been in other homes, storing their food and being used round the clock. So how can you tell if a second hand fridge is still a worthy investment?

Here’s how.

#1 Check Age & Physical Condition

Never buy a fridge that merely looks nice. If the fridge is anything more than 5 years old, it might need a little restoration and servicing before it can function well. Unfortunately, homeowners who simply sell their refrigerators to upgrade rarely go into the trouble of getting repairs done. However, if the fridge is less than 5 years and in good physical condition, you can still give it a chance. Anything less than a year is also a pretty solid deal.

#2 Service History

This is the single most important factor that can shed a lot of light on an appliance’s condition. If the owner isn’t willing to supply service history details of a refrigerator that is older than 5 years, you may want to look at other options. However if the service history shows only regular maintenance routines and minor repairs and no part replacements as such, the fridge should be an ok buy.


You may want to get a technician to inspect the product and see if the condition is still good. That way you can save loads of cash on repairs down the lane.

#3 Vendor Reputation

If you just don’t have the time or the inclination to go around and inspect quailty of fridges, just go with a reputable vendor. Especially a vendor with an online presence and considerable tenure in the retail space. They have a reputation to keep up and are fearful of backlash. This makes them give the best products and services to people who approach them.

#4 Additional Perks

Almost everyone offers free delivery these days. But how many are willing to provide benefits that are actually useful? Very few. The thing with used appliances is that sometimes even sellers aren’t very sure about the quality. A homeowner who is merely trying to dispose off an old appliance will rarely give guarantees on product quality.

This puts the buyer at risk of suffering financial losses if repairs are needed immediately after sale.

#5 Service Warranty

If a seller is willing to provide service warranty on the fridge, it is often a sign that they are pretty confident about the product’s quality. It also provides you some budget protection by taking repair expenses off you. And above all, this saves you from the hassles of having to find a repairman.

Guarented provides a free service warranty on all it’s products. During the first year of purchase, minor repairs and maintenance checks will be handled by us. All you need to do is give us a call.
