Parts are replaced if necessary, so you're not inheriting someone else's problem or an appliance about to breakdown.

60 days free, or extended for 1, 2, or 3 years.

If something goes wrong, you're covered—unlike Facebook sellers, who may not help you.

We offer delivery, installation, and even removal of your old appliance.

Safer and More Reliable

Facebook purchases may be broken, about to break, dirty, or missing parts, and you won't know until it's too late.

Better Value for Your Money
-
Refurbished appliances are cleaned, repaired, and brought back to like-new function—but still at a major discount.

Marketplace appliances might seem cheaper upfront, but often cost more in repairs or early replacement.

Marketplace has lots of scams, dishonest sellers, and people selling non-working units.

? Risks of Buying Used on Facebook Marketplace

No returns, no refunds, no accountability.

Many units are "as-is", and might break after a week.
-
Hard to verify if it was in a flood, smoker’s home, or had electrical issues.

Some sellers flip broken appliances with cosmetic cleanups but no functional repairs.
-
Waste of time coordinating pickup or dealing with flaky sellers.
