Refrigerator has become a must-have appliance in our home. Having realised that, brands come up with new models every year with different specifications. The price range of refrigerators is vast – there are refrigerators below Rs.10,000 and there are also models that cost above Rs.1 lakh. And then there’s you wondering which one to get.
If you’ve decided to get a refrigerator on rent, here are 6 useful tips:
Budget
As mentioned, refrigerators have a vast price range based on models and specifications. Although renting the same model is much cheaper, it doesn’t mean all models will be priced the same. Therefore, decide how much you’re willing to spend on renting a fridge because this cost will be a recurring expense every month and it may not be the only recurring expensive you bear – many who rent refrigerators also rent washing machines, microwaves, and other appliances. So, plan your budget.
Type/Model/Configuration
Most refrigerators today come with at least 2 doors – you have the fridge on one and the freezer on the other one. So where do you want your freezer? On the top or the bottom? Or do you want both doors side by side? You need to decide the type of fridge you would be most comfortable using.
Features
Apart from storing your food and beverages in a cold space, are there other features you’re looking for? Such as ice makers, in-door water dispenser, removable shelves, etc.? Make a list of features you’d like in the refrigerator before moving on to the next step.
Size
Not only are there different types and features, but refrigerators also come in different sizes. They can be from 30 to 70 inches, approximately. You need to ensure that whichever fridge you pick can fit in the space you have allocated in your house. If you haven’t allocated a space yet, you might want to get on that too before completing your transaction.
Compare
Now that you have the type and features sorted out, there will be many brands that offer them. Depending on the brand, the price may also differ. You will have to compare models from different brands or even multiple models from the same brand before picking the winner.
Pick a reputable renter
Now that you have all the specifications related to the refrigerator figured out, make sure that you pick a reputable renter to take your business. You will be in communication with your renter for the foreseeable future, so make sure that they are dependable and offer good customer support.
Renting appliances and furniture today has become extremely convenient. You can do so online from the comfort of your own home. Whatever you rent will be delivered to your doorstep without you having to move an inch!
