Consumer Reports: Save on large appliances, even when you need it now
· KRGV (NBC 5)
When a major appliance fails, immediate replacement can be necessary, but there are ways to save money, according to Consumer Reports. Expert Paul Hope advises against rushing into purchases without research, as performance can vary significantly among brands and models. Consumer Reports evaluated 31 national retailers based on price, selection, and customer service, finding that local independent stores often provide better service than large chains. They may match prices and offer perks like in-house repairs. Shoppers are encouraged to check online inventories, compare prices, and negotiate, as those who did saved an average of $123 on purchases.
