5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Buy A Washing Machine
Washing machines have garnered the respect of millions of people around the world. They’ve been saving humankind from hours of backbreaking, skin damaging work by taking care of soiled laundry for us. However, these are fairly large appliances that are quite expensive to purchase. For those short on cash or with no interest in buying a brand new washing machine for a short term use, used washing machines have always been a great option. If you are someone who is on the lookout for a good quality, affordable second hand washing machine in Bangalore, Guarented will be more than happy to sell one to you!
Now, before you even start hunting for washing machines, here are some things that you should know. In order to avoid buying a machine that fits your requirement, here are some questions you can ask yourself.
#1 What Is Your Budget
Given that we are focused on buying second hand goods, deciding the budget would help immensely. However, keep in mind that the tighter your budget gets, the more difficult it gets to find a product that is fairly new. When it comes to used goods, the age is a primary factor in deciding the price at which it gets sold.
Another thing is that if you are buying from a random homeowner who advertised his washing machine on a classifieds site, keep in mind that he is free to decide whatever prize he wants. Such classifieds sites are often unregulated and you may need to negotiate a bit to bring the price down to what the product is actually worth for. You may need to look around a lot before you find something in your requirement and budget. The easy way out would be to purchase from companies like us where all products come with a guarantee of quality.
#2 Laundry Load
How much soiled stuff do you have by the end of the week? 1–2 kgs? 4–6 kgs? OR more than 8? If you are unable to decide, go by the number of members you have in your home. If you have more than 6, always go for an 8 kg variant. Smaller families can make do with a 6 kg variant which is the most commonly used one in Indian households. As the capacity goes up, so will the price. So you can always purchase a 6 kg variant and do multiple loads. However, always remember to avoid overloading the machine at any cost. Never try to wash several weeks worth of clothes in one go. This will overload the machine and cause irreparable damage to the machine’s internal parts.
#3 Fully Automatic Or Semi Automatic
Again, how tight is your budget? Semi automatic washing machines have the benefit of being inexpensive. But fully automatic ones give you convenience. The dryer and washer compartments are separate in semi automatic variants and that means that you’ll have manually load the clothes into the dryer at the end of the wash cycle.
If you use a fully automatic washing machine, you can simply load the clothes in and forget about them until the machine pings to indicate end of washing and drying. That is definitely convenient.
#4 Is The Seller Reputable?
You’ll find enough stories on the Internet about how buying used goods without doing the necessary research landed people in a lot of trouble. The products could be of bad quality, overpriced or even plain rip off. After all the negotiation to bring down the price by a small margin, you’ll have to arrange delivery for yourself, and pay for any repairs that happen immediately after sale.
This is yet another reason why customers started preferring companies like ours to purchase used products. We extensively refurbish and polish our products to ensure that they match if not rival the quality of brand new washing machines.
#5 Additional Benefits
It is highly unlikely that used goods come with perks, especially the ones advertised through classifieds sites. They are typically sold by homeowners trying to get rid of stuff or trying to upgrade. There is barely any guarantee on the quality of such products as well. Homeowners are probably unaware that refurbishing them improve lifespan of washing machines or they have no means to get them refurbished. Either way, the quality rarely is bankable.
