Here’s a clear comparison of the pros and cons of buying a refurbished washing machine vs. a new one to help you make an informed decision:
✅ Pros of Buying a Refurbished Washing Machine
| Advantage |
Details |
| Cost Savings | Our refurbished models are usually 30–70% cheaper than their new equivalents. Great for tight budgets. |
| Environmentally Friendly | Reduces electronic waste and extends product lifespan. |
| Same Features, Lower Price | Many of our washing machines are barely used or 28 day returns due to cosmetic flaws, not performance. |
| Warranties Available | Reputable retailers like us offer a free 1 year warranty on all our appliances. In fact we're that confident in our appliances that we also offer an extended warranty plan when your free period ends for complete piece of mind |
| Thoroughly Tested | Our washing machines are thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and tested by our time served, in-house technicians. We also electrically test all items before sale. |
| Reliablility | Usually very good although even new appliances often develop faults as the build quality of newer machines today is often not as good as it used to be. |
| Customer Service | To us, you're not just a reference number, you're a loyal customer that keeps family run businesses like ours running for years to come. |
| Additional Services | When you buy a washing machine from us, unlike buying a new appliance, we offer your standard installation and recycling of your old one for free, all you pay for is the washing machine and delivery fee, there are no hidden charges whatsoever. |
❌ Cons of Buying a Refurbished Washing Machine
| Disadvantage |
Details |
| Usage | The washing machine may have had some usage before you bought it. |
| Condition | The washing machine may have minor marks or blemishes |
| Reliability | If they have been previously used, there is a chance they could break down, although our machines are fully serviced, we give a full warranty and in the unlikely event of a breakdown we usually repair the fault within 24-48 hours of your call |
✅ Pros of Buying a New Washing Machine
| Advantage | Details |
| Full Manufacturer Warranty | Typically 1–5 years depending on price and brand |
| Latest Technology | Our models of washing machines are typically not very old so most contain the same tech as a new one including smart controls, steam cleaning, eco modes, and inverter motors |
| Guaranteed Condition | 100% unused and fully inspected for quality control. Our washers also go through a stringent quality control check and are electrically safety checked before going on sale |
| Energy Efficiency | Newer models tend to be more energy- and water-efficient, as are ours. |
| Broader Selection | Easy to find models to fit your space, needs, and preferences. |
❌ Cons of Buying a New Washing Machine
| Disadvantage | Details |
| Price | Can cost 30–60% more than equivalent refurbished models |
| Depreciation | Like cars, new appliances lose value quickly once used. |
| Environmental Impact | Manufacturing and shipping create more carbon footprint than reusing an existing unit. |
| Repair Times | Manufacturers take a lot longer to come out to service your appliances when they break down than we do. |
| Extra Costs | You will always have extra costs on top of the price displayed because when buying new, companies make most of their profit on the services they offer such as unpacking, installation, recycling etc. |
🏁 Summary Table: Refurbished vs. New Washing Machines

| Extra Costs | No extra costs at all for our machines and standard installation. | Packed with extras which massively increases the purchase price such as install, packaging, recycling etc. |
