Here is the breakdown going from a certified pre-owned appliance to a brand new appliance. Hopefully this will help clarify those who have questions regarding the industry's terminology.

Pre-Owned or Used Appliances

Reds Appliance is known to have hundreds of certified pre-owned appliances. These are appliances that can range from 3 to10 years old in good physical condition that are tested and inspected to make sure they are fully in working order and then restored to a like new condition. These units cost on average 60% to 80% less than a brand new appliance and should come with a guarantee for either 1, 2 or 3 months - Our Used Appliances come with a 90 Day Guarantee included with your purchase. You can either bring your item back for repair free of charge or if your unit is not repairable, we will replace the unit with a comparable appliance of your choosing that cost the same price.

Used items that we refurbish and resell at Reds Appliance are washing machines, gas and electric dryers, electric and gas stoves, barbeques, dishwashers, microwaves and refrigerators in stainless steel, white, black, bisque and other colors.

Refurbished Appliance - Factory Refurb

These are units that go through an inspection process by the selling manufacturer. The units they check are typically ones sold and returned by the customer for various reasons. Such as not working, damaged, wrong size, etc. Many times these units are in like new condition and work great after the manufacturer has checked its functionality. Manufacture refurbs usually come with a 6 month to 1 year warranty with a savings of 20%-50% off MSRP.

Open Box, Floor Model or Scratch and Dent

Though they all have different names, they usually all mean the same thing. These units are new and haven’t been used, however, they are packaged in their original box. These units are great when you can find them! You don’t need to look any further! Reds Appliance has hundreds of these items stocked in our warehouse and we get new inventory every week from Whirlpool ,Maytag, Samsung, Frigidaire, Electrolux , KitchenAid , LG and more! These units are usually 15% -65% off depending on the condition of the item. I don't know about you, but I would always take an open box unit and splurge with the savings if it was me. They also should still come with a Full 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty with the options to buy Extended Warranties!

Brand New

Pretty simple, it's new! Delivered or picked up by you in its original box and has a 1 year warranty with options to purchase extended warranties for up to 5 years.
