How to save money on kitchen appliances
As is the case with almost anything you buy for your home, spending more on a kitchen appliance doesn't necessarily guarantee better performance. In fact, we've uncovered Don't Buys that cost more than some of our top scorers.
Premium price tags usually mean a wider range of 'features' in your product, such as auto-dosing in washing machines or self-cleaning in ovens, so an easy way to save cash is to work out which of these (if any) are things you will really value.
You can also often make savings by buying a slightly older model (such as one that was released last year, rather than this year), as brands will regularly drop the prices to make room for newer stock. Do check our reviews before you buy to make sure it's a good one, though.
Finally, sometimes the ultimate sacrifice you can make to save money is aesthetics. It isn't always the case, but usually lower-cost appliances won't look as fancy or hi-tech as their pricier siblings, but they still do the same job.
