Learn tips to shop, compare, and save on home appliances.
Black Friday is a prime time for Canadians to snag some of the best deals on home appliances. With discounts often reaching up to 50% or more, this shopping event offers an excellent opportunity to upgrade your kitchen, laundry, or any other household appliances without breaking the bank.
Here’s how you can make the most of Black Friday when shopping for home appliances in Canada:
Before diving into the Black Friday frenzy, it's crucial to prepare. Start by measuring each of the spaces you need appliances for. Space is often the biggest constraint when choosing a new appliance. Measure width, depth and height. When you're ready to shop, only look at items that fit those dimensions. If you're remodelling a kitchen or laundry room, speak to your contractor about the max dimensions that you can fit and if there will be any flexibility in space.
Also consider other important features such as energy efficiency, finish, brand reputation and price. Doing this groundwork will help you stay focused and avoid impulse purchases.
Research Black Friday Deals
In Canada, major retailers often release their Black Friday deals as early as Nov 1. Start your appliance specific research before this so you can start spotting deals as soon as they come out. Remember, some of the best Black Friday appliance deals may be available online, saving you the hassle of long in-store lines.
Compare Prices Using Google Shopping
Even during Black Friday, it's wise to compare prices across different retailers. Use price comparison tools or apps to ensure you're getting the best possible deal. One way to do this is to search for the exact model number you are wanting to buy in Google Shopping. It will show you the lowest price available. Note, you may have to add additional filters like "refrigerator" or "cooktop" to see item specific prices. At SecondShop, we pride ourselves in having the lowest prices in Canada so if you have a specific model in mind, try searching directly at secondshop.ca.
Check Warranty and Return Policies
Amidst the excitement of Black Friday, don't overlook the importance of warranty and services. Ensure that the appliances come with a manufacturer warranty and that you'll have the support needed to haul-away your old appliance and install the new ones. No one wants added headaches ahead of the holidays. For more information about SecondShop warranties and services, see here.

Remember that the most sought-after deals can sell out quickly, so it’s beneficial to act fast if you find a deal that fits your needs.
Consider Financing Options
Some retailers, like SecondShop, offer flexible financing options during Black Friday, allowing you to pay for your new appliances over time. If you're planning a significant purchase, explore these options to determine if they align with your budget. Just be cautious of interest rates and terms to ensure it’s a financially sound decision.
By planning ahead, doing thorough research, and staying vigilant about deals, you can make the most of Black Friday to purchase home appliances in Canada at unbeatable prices. Happy shopping!
