When you think of door-to-door salesmen, typically its the vacuum salesman that comes to mind. Offering a wide array of products, door-to-door sales were quite common in the 1950s and 1960s. Shockingly, they are still around today in 2022…just not as prevalent. No doubt the most popular “brand” was the Kirby vacuum salesman. If you’ve never had the chance to see these “guys” in action, you have truly missed out on one of the greatest sales pitches EVER!
But, we’re here to help you out. Take a look at this YouTube video of a real sales seminar for the Kirby corporation. You’re in for a real treat!!!
Repair or replace? What to consider for your small appliances.
So buzzwords abound these days such as eco-friendly, carbon footprint, less waste, and on and on. But, have you ever really considered those buzzwords when it comes to your home appliances? What do you do if your vacuum suddenly stops working? Do you just go out and buy a new one or do you have it repaired?
Did you know that most times, small appliances can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a replacement?
There is a basic formula or “rule of thumb” to keep in mind: if the repair costs are going to be half the cost of a new vacuum, its more cost effective to have the unit repaired. However, you also need to consider the age of the appliance, the cost per use, the frequency in which you use it, etc.
When you have a small appliance repaired, you know exactly what you’re getting. Especially if you’ve had the appliance for quite some time…you know its performance.
Another consideration is how old the appliance is? If its 10 years old or less, repair is most likely the better option as it still has plenty of life in it. You always run the risk with replacement if you’re going to get a “lemon” or other faulty piece of equipment. Trust us, we’ve seen it before!
