When shopping for new appliances in Canada, it can be tempting to choose a pre-built appliance package, especially those that feature matching finishes and brands. But custom appliance bundles offer even greater flexibility, personalization, and often a better price. With SecondShop, mixing and matching can help you save more than sticking with a single-brand pre-set bundle.
Pre-Built Appliance Packages
Pre-built packages typically include a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and sometimes a microwave or range hood. While they’re marketed as convenient and cost-effective, they often come at a premium for the brand uniformity, making custom bundles the better value in many cases.
Pros:
- Simplified shopping experience
- Coordinated finishes and designs
- Often available at promotional prices
Cons:
- Limited flexibility in brand or feature selection
- May include appliances that don’t suit your specific needs
While SecondShop doesn't currently offer pre-built packages, our custom bundle options let you achieve the same visual harmony and convenience, with even more flexibility and choice.
Custom Appliance Packages
With a custom package, you can mix and match across different brands and categories. This lets you prioritize what matters most, whether it’s energy efficiency, smart features, or compact design for smaller spaces.
Pros:
- Greater flexibility in brand and features
- Easier to tailor to any kitchen layout or cooking habits
- Allows you to maximize value by selecting exactly what you need
Cons:
- Requires more research and comparison
- Finishes and styles may not be fully coordinated
SecondShop makes customization simple. You can explore options by category on our shop categories page and build your bundle with appliances over $500 to unlock extra savings.
Which One is Right for You?
If you’re furnishing a new home or want a quick upgrade that looks cohesive, a pre-built package may be the better fit. But if you have specific preferences or want to maximize savings, going custom can give you the best return, especially when you mix top-rated brands and select only what you need.
Whether you go pre-built or custom, SecondShop helps Canadian shoppers find the best value without compromising on quality.
