Home Depot can be your number one store for everything you need when it comes to home repairs, remodeling and interior design. While the mega-hardware chain has almost everything you need to get the job done, a few of their offerings in the appliance department come up a bit short. Some of these appliances are low quality, some are high priced and others are just not worth having in your humble abode.
7 Best Home Items To Buy at Dollar Tree in April
“Home Depot is great for many things — paint, tools, even some basic appliances — but when it comes to high-end or specialty appliances, it’s not the best place to shop,” said Maksim Sauchanka, owner and CEO of BMR Belmax Remodeling.
Below are five appliances you should avoid buying at Home Depot. Also here are the top appliance brands that are considered overpriced.
Better Chef Coffee Maker
- Price: $26.85
You need some energy to do a job and a cup of joe might just be the answer, only be sure you are not buying the Better Chef Coffee Maker from Home Depot to brew up a pot. The poor design and low quality parts on this 12-cup, 900 watt coffee maker will grind your gears, but not your beans.
Yonanas Mint Personal Blender
- Price: $39.99
Spring is the time to get your favorite fresh fruits and vegetables all together in one smoothie. However, if you buy the Yonanas Two Speed Mint Personal Blender at Home Depot, you might be putting yourself in danger as one negative user review mentioned how the motor caught on fire.
General Commercial Microwave
- Price: $359.00
The General Stainless Steel 1000-Watt Commercial Microwave (with a digital touchpad control) sold at Home Depot is expensive and breaks easily. Best to find a higher quality model for a lower price at a different retailer.
SPT White Front Control Smart Dishwasher
- Price: $450.08
You might be tired of washing and drying your dishes by hand after every meal. On the other hand, it can be more of a hassle to get a dishwasher from SPT, a brand that frequently breaks down and it is hard to find someone to do the repairs. That’s why you should steer clear of buying the 24-inch SPT White Front Control Smart Dishwasher at Home Depot.
Hallman French Door Refrigerator
- Price: $2,299
Picking out the right refrigerator for your home is essential, which is why going with the 36-inch Hallman French Door Refrigerator from Home Depot might not be the smartest choice. Top-rated luxury refrigerators are not usually sold at Home Depot, with even the so-called premium fridges tending to be knock offs of the higher-end brands.
