Making purchases of whitegoods online is fast becoming the norm, but there are some important factors to keep in mind to make sure the experience is a pleasant one.

Will it fit?

It may seem obvious to measure up the space in your kitchen for a new fridge, but have you thought about how to get your new purchase through the front door?

Some customers may think that it’s as simple as taking the door off a fridge or removing the washing machine from its box, but it is the responsibility of the consumer to make sure there’s enough room to deliver the goods safely and is the best condition possible.

Consider the path your delivery driver will have to take when your goods arrive, measuring all doorways used to ensure there is enough room to get past.

Will it still suit my tastes and needs in 3, 5 or 10 years’ time?

By now you’ve probably worked out your sense of style and taste when it comes to décor around the home. But choosing the right type of oven or a timeless finish on your fridge is important – your new purchase is an investment that is set to last for a number of years.

Just because something is considered fashionable now doesn’t mean that it is going to still be appealing in five or ten years’ time. Think ahead and ask yourself, “will I still feel this way when this colour/style goes out of style?”

The same goes for the size of your whitegoods – buying a small front loader washing machine now might seem like the best option, but what happens if your family grows in size?

Will I need an extended warranty?

You never know what life is going to throw at you – it’s often better to expect the unexpected and arm yourself with the best level of protection possible. All whitegoods sold by Appliances Online are brand new and come with a full manufacturer warranty. We also offer a Customer Car Plan at the time of purchase.

Extended warranties and additional plans can offer peace of mind when it comes to repairs and replacement parts later down the track.
