High-efficiency washing machines use less water and energy than a traditional machine. In addition, since these models use no agitator, there is more room in the wash baskets for large and bulky items.

Did you know that unlike years earlier, most appliances that are disposed of today still have a great deal of life left in them? Today, people will get rid of a perfectly functional appliance because of the color or because a new model is available. This makes used appliances an especially smart bargain.

Your microwave oven may not be a major appliance, but you probably rely on it pretty heavily just the same. Using a microwave to prepare dinner is more energy efficient than using a full sized oven, and the food will be ready much faster, too. Care to guess how long the average residential microwave will last? If you guessed 9 years or so, you're right.

Changing out your broken appliance for a functional, used model makes good sense. If your old unit is more than five years old, there's a good chance that even a gently used replacement will be more energy efficient, quieter, and easier to use than what you're replacing.

Built-in microwaves have been popular for more than a decade. The newest trend is to mount them in drawers or recess them into island cabinetry so they’re at a safe and accessible height for kids.

One of the signs to look out for when shopping around for a used fridge is any unpleasant odor. If the unit appears clean, but still has an odor, it may be more difficult to get rid of than it’s worth.

If you’re thinking of selling your home, it’s a good idea to evaluate your kitchen appliances. Buyers respond well to newer appliances and are sometimes willing to pay a higher price for the home, so it’s often cost-effective to update your kitchen before you put your house on the market.

If your gas stovetop has sealed burners, that does not mean you can just fire it up and let it go. Boil overs, burned foods, and inconsistent maintenance can damage the burners and shorten the service life. Regular cleaning and periodic inspection will keep the fires burning through the years.

Used window air conditioners are usually a great buy, especially when you plan ahead. We recommend that you buy a used air conditioner in the fall or winter, when prices are often much lower than in the high-demand hot weather months.

One of the biggest advantages of a front-load washing machine is its energy efficiency. The washer only needs about a third of the amount of water to clean the clothes and takes advantage of gravity as the drum rolls, requiring less power to operate.

If you have a gas convection oven, it makes good sense to keep it in good repair. Because it’s so versatile, this appliance is in constant use, either baking and roasting or warming and reheating foods you’ve prepared in advance.

Helping your children leave the nest? Then you would probably be doing them a favor by furnishing the new pad with used appliances. This way, they can still enjoy all the comforts of home while transitioning into an independent, full-fledged member of society.

Did you know dishwashers are designed to operate even more quietly than they were just a few years ago? If you're tired of the sound of rushing water to clean your dishes, you have new options.
