A refrigerator can be attributed to such household appliances, without which an ordinary person cannot do anything, therefore, in the event of a breakdown, we run to repair it or buy a new one on the same day. If for some reason the unit cannot be repaired, then the amount that will be spent on acquiring a new one is sometimes very frightening with its heavy load. Prices for large household appliances are very high.
Let's try to identify and systematize some tips on how to buy a good cheap refrigerator and what you should pay attention to first. So, let's start with general recommendations that apply to all models without exception.
Don't chase novelties
First of all, focus your attention on the technical capabilities of the future refrigerator, and not on its year of manufacture. In terms of cost, new items always overtake cheap refrigerators of past generations, and it’s not a fact that a fresh modification will turn out to be more functional or technically thought out, therefore, first of all, we leaf through the instructions and look for the best option specifically for our needs.
Give up unnecessary and unclaimed features
If you need a refrigeratorin order for it to freeze and cool your products, then buy such a unit. There is no need to pay extra, for example, for things like an ice pick, which you will use several times a year, and the built-in LCD screen on the front panel will not add capacity to your unit. Try to get rid of this kind of excesses - you will get rich, then the TV on the refrigerator door will be affordable and a joy for you, but now we are choosing a cheap refrigerator.
Don't neglect used machines
On sites such as Avito or Hand to Hand, you can sometimes stumble upon very worthwhile options. The range of goods on such resources is extremely wide, and you can buy some large or small refrigerator cheaply without any problems. This method may be suitable if the goods are needed very urgently, and, as always, there is not so much money for the purchase.
Sales
If time is more or less patient, then one of the options is to wait for the next season of sales or promotions, since large retail outlets hold them almost every week. In this case, you can save quite decently by buying, for example, cheap two-chamber refrigerators at the price of single-chamber refrigerators, etc.
This list of tips is universal and suitable for absolutely everyone who wants to quickly and inexpensively buy a refrigerator. Next, we will consider specific options for purchasing goods through virtual and real stores of household appliances, as well as the specifics of the choice.used or discounted item.
Online store
The well-established belief that it is very convenient to buy household appliances and cheap refrigerators, including while sitting at the monitor screen, does not need any proof. We have long been accustomed to virtual shelves and trips through the nooks and crannies of the World Wide Web. The problem, as always, is only one - offers - there are too many of them, and you can get lost in such numbers for a long time.
There are a lot of resources that sell household appliances, and every day there are more and more, so it is extremely difficult to choose a worthy option. Let's try to sort through the most venerable online stores, one way or another distinguished by the quality of both the goods supplied and the service, thereby answering the question of where refrigerators are cheaper and how to buy them with the greatest profit.
Eldorado
The online version of the famous Eldorado store is not much different from the one in real life, except that the assortment is a little wider, and the price range is wider, which means there is plenty to choose from.
And sometimes you can stumble upon a cheap refrigerator for a summer residence or at home for an almost bargain price, so the Eldorado option is one of the most promising in terms of a quick and inexpensive purchase of the right product.
Assortment
On the Internet shelves you can find refrigerators from a variety of manufacturers, from venerable brands to local"consumer goods". There are models for dachas or hotel rooms (about 4 thousand rubles). Such a small refrigerator will cheaply and cheerfully decorate your kitchen until you save up for something more impressive, like a five-chamber Hitachi for 150 thousand rubles. But these two options are extreme, for a more specific case, you can find a model in the average price range.
Checkout and payment
Creating a basket and then placing an order will not take much time or nerves, as it happens in offline realities. You can pay with a credit or debit card of any bank that supports Visa and MasterCard standards. The monetary relationship between the client and the store is only advance (full prepayment), but there is an option to make a purchase on credit. Eldorado's "favorite" bank in terms of credit issues was and remains Russian Standard, but there are other options to choose from if this bank is unlucky.
Delivery
After the formation of the basket and subsequent payment, the goods are sent to the delivery points. Customers who are located in million-plus cities, as a rule, receive their goods the very next day, in other cases you have to wait 3-7 days from the date of payment. Due to the strong and he althy competition of courier services, delivery prices are not as high as before, and cheap single-chamber refrigerators for more than 400 rubles do not deliver (within the city limits, excluding floors).
Promotions and sales
One of the most sought-after and well-advertised promotions is "Utilization". That is, when replacing a usedequipment for a new one in the store you get a good discount. This is a good option to buy yourself a mini fridge cheaply and get rid of the broken unit.
Sales are held, though often, but for a very narrow range of goods. The range of participants of the action is small, but the discounts are decent. For example, a model of the brand "Indesit" with two cameras, which costs about 20 thousand rubles on weekdays, at the time of the action you can "snatch" for 12,999 rubles, that is, gain 40% of the cost, and this is very good for a limited budget.
Promotions and sales are constantly held on the eve of holidays or high-profile events, such as the New Year, March 8 or the birthday of the same "Eldorado". Therefore, if you keep a close eye on these kinds of events, you can save quite a lot of money by buying a cheap, good quality refrigerator (it's better to subscribe to email newsletters by mail).
Enter
The idea of creating the resource "Inter" belongs to the owner of the group of companies "Svyaznoy" Maxim Nogotkov. This means that we will have the simplest selection process along with a further purchase, because the first brainchild of Nogotkov still pleases fans of mobile gadgets and stationary devices with its availability and unpretentious online shopping process.
The price of refrigerators at Inter may not be the cheapest, but the site works quickly, smoothly, and the quality of service is always on top.
Assortment
Just like in the case of Eldorado, the Inter store has a wide range of prices for each specific case. You can find a cheap refrigerator for 3.5 thousand, and you can come across models for 110 thousand rubles. Search by name, characteristics and prices is very convenient. All search results appear on the screen without delay and without any transition to additional pages.
Order and payment
The formation of a basket together with subsequent payment is very fast, and the process will be clear to any user who is more or less familiar with the Internet. Payment is made using Visa or MasterCard bank cards, and it is not at all necessary to make an advance payment, as was the case with Eldorado, the couriers have all the necessary equipment to pay the buyer on the spot. Loan offers are presented by numerous partner banks, so there is plenty to choose from.
Delivery
The store has its own courier delivery line, which is a very significant advantage, because in case of delays or some unforeseen situations, the online store will not blame the third party, but will only answer to the client in one person. The cost of delivery of bulky cargo does not exceed 500 rubles in the city (excluding lifting to the floor).
Promotions and sales
The PayPal payment system has entered into a partnership agreement with the Inter store, and now any buyer who pays for goods through this system automatically receives a discount of 300 rubles.
An untimely (yetthat) the action “Gifts is a matter of technology”, where goods from the LG brand, including a cheap refrigerator, can be bought at a discount from 500 to 3000 rubles, which cannot but rejoice. There are many other interesting offers, but they do not belong to the refrigeration segment (although it is worth looking at these offers).
In general, the more such a range of Internet resources, the better for us, buyers - serious and he althy competition affects price reductions and improves the quality of service, so look, study and be sure to read reviews on those stores that you interested. In order to see a more complete range of prices, and not goods, you can use Yandex-Market or a similar offer from Mail. Ru.
Sales in household appliances and electronics stores
As one famous shopping lover used to say: "There is no better time to shop than the time of sales." As a rule, in stores dealing with household appliances, sales are tied to holidays and events, not to seasons, so the most attractive discounts can be snatched before the New Year, on February 14 and 23, March 8 and September 1 - prepare for sales in advance.
50 or even 75%. Unfortunately, such unscrupulous "discounters" are very common.often, misleading their customer by significantly increasing the base price of the product, and then making a "good" discount.
It will not be superfluous to find out if discounts are summed up during promotions and various sales. Sometimes store shelves can be full of tempting offers: here is a discount, here is a discount, and here is a gift in addition. But in fact, it may turn out that only one thing is available to the buyer to choose from, that is, all these offers are not summed up in any way. Ask about this nuance in advance from the sellers in the store. It is also worth clarifying whether any gifts promised for the purchase of large household appliances are possible, and if so, are they available.
Discounted Vehicles
The store can discount household appliances only in two cases, other options include only the purchase of used items.
- The model is morally obsolete, not in demand among buyers and just takes up space in the warehouse.
- There may be any defects of a different nature in the technique. Here you can close your eyes to minor scratches or dents that appeared during storage or transportation from place to place, that is, shortcomings that do not affect the operation of the device.
Before you buy a discounted product, be sure to clarify why the price was reduced, and how things are with the warranty period. If a minor defect does not affect the operation of the refrigerator in any way, then why not buy it, and scratches can be covered with a beautiful magnet.
