Buying for the home and kitchen
For appliances and furniture, the price tag is only part of the cost: size, delivery, installation and running costs matter as much.
What to check before you buy
- Measure the space — and doorways — before buying large items.
- Check delivery, installation and removal of the old item.
- Compare energy ratings: a cheaper appliance can cost more to run.
- Check spare parts and warranty for appliances.
- Keep the packaging until you’re sure you won’t return it.
Prices and stock change often. Always confirm the final price, delivery cost and returns policy on the retailer’s website before paying.
