Tips for buying Appliances

If you are like me, often you simply purchase appliances based on brand names and/or the price tag. I learnt the hard way that there are many other things to consider when considering what type of appliance to buy. Let me share some tips with you that I picked up along the way.

Guide to Buying Refrigerators

• Consider the space you have available in terms of metres, feet and inches (in other words make sure it fits)
• Select colour and style that complement your kitchen decor.
• If you rely heavily on frozen foods ensure that there is adequate space in the freezer compartment.

Guide to Buying a Stove

• Choose a stove with the size of your family in mind and the amount of baking and cooking you do.
• Consider the installation cost and ensure there is a warranty so that if you are not satisfied with it, you can get a replacement
• Check for durability and features such as electronic ignition, oven light and self clean which make cooking easier.

Hope the tips above were helpful. Next time I will outline tips for buying washing machines and microwaves. Let me hear from you! How do you choose your appliances?
