Your kitchen or laundry room is now up to snuff - credit to your go-to contractor. Ready to choose your dream devices to ease the domesticity of daily chores? Maybe you're researching online appliances hoping to score some great deals.

Well, you can upgrade your space with modern, reliable products from The Appliance Guys. We proudly offer an expansive catalogue of appliances, from refrigerators and ovens to dishwashers and washing machines - you name it.

But how can you make your shopping experience fruitful? Do you create a list, hit the stores, pick whatever they have in stock, and zoom out? Not quite. At The Appliance Guys, we help you make well-thought-out choices. As such, we've prepared this guide to make your experience enjoyable and optimal. Let's dive in.

Set a Budget

We get it; you're itching to bring home the latest and greatest appliance models. Nothing wrong with that, but before you do, consider your budget. Prices can range from low to high, and it's easy to get carried away.

For starters, make a list of the appliances or devices you need. Then allocate funds for each item. By so doing, you won't go overboard when shopping or leave out some things because, well, the fancy yet pricy dishwasher was too tempting. Now you must reorganise your finances to afford the cooker you initially planned to buy. Oops!

Fortunately, you can avoid such a predicament by budgeting. Having a plan ensures you home in on only the products you need while sticking to your financial goal.

Research Your Options

What features do you need in an appliance? Will the product you buy mesh with your lifestyle and decor? Do you need an energy-efficient device? How does a particular appliance's performance stack up against its competitors? What's the product's service life?

Before pulling out your wallet, answer these queries. The more informed you are, the higher your chance of buying a product that'll meet your needs.

A great way to learn about an appliance is to check online reviews. You'd be surprised by what first-hand users say about a certain model. So it won’t hurt to set aside time to read up on your desired products.

Compare Prices

Sometimes, it pays to shop around. You could find a better deal on the same product at another store. Some sellers might also offer to match a competitor's price or throw in additional features.

At The Appliance Guys, we make it easy to compare prices across various models and products. You can even price-check items in our catalogue and take advantage of discounts, promotional offers, and loyalty programs.

Can’t afford a new product? No problem - opt for open-box appliances. These products are either lightly used or returned and are usually up for sale at discounted prices. Besides, returned products are inspected and certified to work optimally. Who knows, you could save some cash on a dream appliance.

Pick the Right Store

Your shopping experience is only as good as the store you buy from. Some stores are stocked with a vast selection of products, while others offer limited options. Plus, pre- and post-purchase services vary, as does the quality of support. Some of the appliance stores you can consider are:

  • Department stores - you can find an assortment of large and small appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, in a department store. Check for sales discounts or offers on products at such stores.  
  • Online retailers - online sellers offer virtually any appliance you can imagine, from coffee makers to food processors, and everything else in between. The convenience of shopping from your home and having products delivered to your doorstep can be quite appealing. Some retailers offer free shipping and irresistible pricing, making this option even more attractive.
  • Specialty stores - these outlets offer a limited selection of top-brand products. However, you can get expert advice on product features and performance. Some specialise in particular appliances, meaning you can get many options.
  • Small local appliance shops - a local store is a great option if you're after small appliances such as a vacuum cleaner or electric shaver. Unlike larger stores, such outlets offer personalised service and the chance to touch, feel, and examine products before you buy.

Dealing with knowledgeable sales staff is always a plus. At The Appliance Guys, we're passionate about delivering top-of-the-line products and exemplary customer service. With our expertise and selection, you can trust us to be your go-to destination for appliances. We prefer to educate you about the devices we stock before you decide, ensuring you get the right product - no pressure to buy.

Consider the Warranty

Some retailers or stores offer generous warranties. Unfortunately, they may give you the run around when they have to meet their end of the bargain. To avoid such a predicament, inquire about warranty terms and the process of claiming a warranty in the unfortunate event of a product failure.

Also, find out the store's reputation by reviewing its rating. If their customers are pleased with the store, you'll probably have a great experience. Refrain from buying from a store with a history of poor customer service. Instead, get your money's worth and shop confidently at a reputable store like The Appliance Guys.

While at it, you may opt for an extended warranty, which can save you from costly repairs. That said, the warranty should cover repair, replacement, and labour costs, among many other aspects.

Check the Return Policy

Not every appliance you buy will be the perfect fit. To ensure you're covered in case of an unwanted product, check the store's return policy and applicable restocking fees. By so doing, you'll know where you can get the most value for your money. Keep your cards close to your chest if you need to - ask questions, and don't buy until you have all the information you need.

Shopping for oft-pricy appliances requires due diligence. And as we've established, you need to account for various variables to make the right choice. After all, who wouldn’t want to maximise their hard-earned money? At The Appliance Guys, we eliminate the stress of shopping for your favourite appliances by keeping you informed.
