There are a ton of listings for used washing machines on classified websites like Kijiji and Facebook marketplace however a common question that people have is would the washer/dryer work and there is a risk that either it’s a scam or the product has issues.
To avoid this my recommendation is that you should buy your used appliances from a seller of electrical appliances. Now the price might be a little higher compared to what you see on Kijiji, but there are benefits of dealing with a shop.
The shops will offer a guarantee on the used appliances that they sell! Usually it’s a 90-day guarantee so if you run into any issues, you can get it fixed for free from the seller! This is a great benefit and reduces your risk.
I bought my Washer and Dryer from –
Électroménagers Gatineau 358 Rue Saint-André, Gatineau, QC J8P 4E7
Trying to negotiate the price
If you are buying a used appliance you can ask the seller to reduce the price and usually, they will do that. Not sure on how to open the conversation, try – ‘hey! I’m planning to buy the washer and dryer combo, is it possible to get a discount?’
Delivery might be FREE
A lot of used appliances sellers may offer to provide free delivery and installation! Always inquire with them on what is included with your purchase apart from the guarantee.
You can also try Facebook Groups in the Ottawa/Gatineau region if they are willing to sell their washer/dryer and you might end up seeing numerous listings by other folks trying to sell their electrical appliances.
