When appliances break down, many homeowners don’t have hundreds or thousands of dollars set aside to pay full price for replacements. That’s one reason “scratch and dent” products are so appealing. Because of subtle nicks or dents, third-party retailers sell brand-new merchandise at a fraction of the retail price. Here are three big incentives to go this route for your home. 

The Benefits of Almost Perfect Appliances

1. Save on Remodeling Costs 

Although new, “scratch and dent” models are priced like used products—with 40 to 70% savings at the cash register. When working on remodeling projects, replacing dishwashers, dryers, and ovens can take a major bite out of the budget. Keep overall renovation costs low by taking advantage of these deep discounts. 

2. Boost Home Efficiency 

Replacing outdated appliances will make your home more efficient, as their operation accounts for 9% of annual energy costs. “Scratch and dent” merchandise will practically pay for itself in the money you’ll save on utility bills.

An Energy Star®-certified washer, for example, consumes 25% less energy and uses up to 75% less water than 20-year-old models.

3. Get Warranty Protection

Just because a major appliance isn’t in pristine condition when purchased doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay out of pocket for future repairs. If the equipment was sold in the box, it should still be under the manufacturer's warranty. Even floor models might come with guarantees. 

For high-quality new and “scratch and dent” appliances at 40 to 70% off the market price, head to PJ's Appliance Outlet in Minneapolis, MN. Customers save even more when they buy products in bundles, with $300 savings when you purchase at least five appliances. To inquire about the selection, call (763) 657-0979.
