How Do You Buy A Used Vacuum & Getting The Best Value?
When it comes to saving money on a vacuum purchase, a good used or reconditioned vacuum cleaner is often a great budget stretcher. However, it’s buyer beware as with any consumer purchase and when it comes to vacuums, getting good value for your money depends a lot on how well you inspect the item before you buy it. These tips will teach you how to buy a used vacuum and what to check for to make sure your purchase is a good one. Used or Reconditioned Vacuum: • While you can easily find reconditioned or refurbished vacuums on Ebay or Amazon, it doesn’t guarantee a better buy than from a local yard sale, and buying without seeing/testing it is buying blind. • The term reconditioned can be deceiving – it can mean a basic cleaning by anyone or a full servicing that includes replacement parts by a qualified technician. • A qualified or factory reconditioning is best, though servicing detail is not often supplied. There are great savings to be had from buying a fairly new reconditioned item.
