If you are in the market for a new appliance such as a refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove, or even a dishwasher, consider a "scratch and dent" store. In most cases, these appliances are brand new but may have a few exterior scratches or dents.
We bought a new refrigerator almost 2 years ago for our home. We wanted the same kind that we sold with our previous home. We paid $800 for a brand new, name brand refrigerator (freezer on bottom). That same unit sells for more than $1,200 at the home improvement stores.
Our refrigerator has a 12 inch scratch on the bottom of one of the sides. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't even notice it. The store we purchased it at is Appliance Smart.
