What is a Scratch & Dent Appliance?

A scratch & dent appliance refers to a household appliance, such as a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer, that has some cosmetic imperfections or minor damages incurred during transportation, handling, or display in a store. These imperfections can include scratches, dents, dings, or scuffs on the exterior panels or surfaces of the appliance. However, the internal components and functionality of the appliance remain fully intact and operational.

Here are some reasons why you might consider buying a scratch & dent appliance:

1. Cost Savings: One of the most significant advantages of purchasing a scratch & dent appliance is the cost savings. These appliances are often sold at discounts of up to 60% less compared to their brand new counterparts. If you are on a budget or looking to save some money on your appliance purchase, opting for a scratch & dent model can be an excellent option.

2. Functionality and Warranty: Despite the cosmetic imperfections, scratch & dent appliances typically function as well as new ones. We thoroughly inspect and test these appliances to ensure they are in perfect working condition before offering them for sale. Additionally, they come with an extended warranty to provide you with peace of mind.

3. Aesthetics Aren't Critical: If you prioritize function over aesthetics and are more concerned about the performance of the appliance rather than how it looks, a scratch & dent model can be a practical choice. The dents or scratches are usually minor and do not affect the performance or functionality of the appliance.

4. Great for Rental Properties: If you own a rental property or plan to use the appliance in a less visible area of your home, like a basement or utility room, a scratch & dent appliance can be an ideal option. Since appearances are less crucial in these settings, the cost savings can be particularly appealing.

5. Eco-Friendly Choice: By purchasing a scratch & dent appliance, you are essentially contributing to a more sustainable approach to consumerism. Rather than having these slightly flawed appliances discarded, you are giving them a new home and preventing unnecessary waste.

6. Limited Availability: Scratch & dent appliances are often available in limited quantities, and once they're sold, they may not be restocked. So, if you find a model that meets your needs and preferences, it's wise to act quickly before it's gone.
