When buying a washing machine, we want to get quality at an attractive price. But not always our needs coincide with our capabilities. In this case, you can consider a variant of the model that has attracted attention, but in a discounted version. What do we get when buying a discounted item?
Reasons for markdown
The reasons for the markdown can be several. In one case, you can buy a discounted thing, but in another, you should not even approach it.
Here are some examples:
- There is a failure in any work program.
- Loading door requires repair.
- Motor malfunction.
- The appearance defect.
The reason for the markdown is usually indicated on the product price tag.
Do defects affect functionality?
The first three variants of the defect assume poor-quality work. This machine in any case should not be considered for purchase, since it will not be possible to exchange it or demand a refund for such equipment. And whether such a machine will work to satisfy your needs is another matter.
But the fourth reason for the mark-up has no influence on the working functions of the machine. It will clean, rinse and squeeze out. Here is a washing machine you can buy, and sometimes even necessary. Unideal appearance compensates for a lower price.
The defect associated with the appearance implies mechanical damage to the hull during transport or handling.
Does the warranty extend?
When deciding to buy a washing machine that has an appearance defect, you should carefully inspect it to ensure that any chips or dents can not affect the proper operation of the equipment. The price tag should be written out all the reasons for which the machine was subjected to a markdown.
In case if after your purchase your machine breaks down for some technical reasons, you have the right to demand its warranty repair or refund of money: external defects do not affect the warranty in any way. You can not exchange only if it does not suit you by color or size. This item is in the "Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights".
Vendors of the store do not have the right to refuse warranty service of the discounted goods. Before buying, ask about the warranty period for the product.
Where to buy?
Washing machines for markdowns are safe to buy in large chain stores. Such machines can be located with all other models or be on the display, which is located separately for this type of product. Near each machine there should be a price tag detailing all the defects that are present in this unit of equipment.
The online store also offers for sale new washing machines that have an external defect. For this technique, there is usually a section with the same name. In such stores, as in online, to buy safely.
It is worthwhile to beware of commission shops that offer low prices, but the technique has already been used by other people. How it will work is unknown, and no one will guarantee it.
Tips for choosing
To choose a discounted washing machine and at the same time not to lose in quality of the goods and its service it is possible, considering following nuances:
