Consumer Reports: Save on large appliances, even when you need it now
· KRGV (NBC 5)
When a major appliance breaks down, immediate replacement can be necessary, but Consumer Reports offers tips to save money. Expert Paul Hope advises against rushing into purchases without research, as performance can vary significantly among brands and models. Their survey of over 30,000 appliance purchases rated 31 retailers on price, selection, and service. Local independent retailers often provide better service than large chains and may match prices. Consumers are encouraged to check online inventories, compare prices, and negotiate for better deals, potentially saving an average of $123. Careful shopping can prevent overspending on essential appliances.
