Repair vs Replacement

Consider Repairing Your Items Vs. Replacement

It's important to understand your options when it comes to getting your appliance back to working again. Many instantly assume that they should replace their item instead of getting a new one. There are a few things to keep in mind before you make a decision. Some of which you may have already considered. Is it worth it to have your appliance fixed? Let's look at the facts:

The Cost

If the item will cost more to replace than it will to repair you should definitely consider getting a new one. The repair may also be worth it if it will cost a significant percentage of what the replacement will. Expensive laptops are worth repairing as the cost of repair always ends up cheaper than deciding to have the product replaced. A cheaper computer, such as a notebook, will end up costing a lot more to repair vs. replace.

Can The Item Be Fixed Cheaply?

Replacing an expensive espresso machine may not be worth it if it just takes one move with a screw driver to get it back to working again. You need to consider how extensive the repair is going to be.

Understand Your Options

Keep your options in mind. It's a great idea to ask a repair man how much it will cost and compare it to its market value.
