This question always bothers everybody that which freezer one should buy – an old freezer or new one. Since freezer is required for every food & beverage supplier, let’sdiscuss and understand this today.
Is freezer a seasonal product?
In summer season, the need for deep freezer rises with the heat. But today freezer is not only for summer season. Instead it is now required throughout the year. In Delhi NCR region, it is used for storage of milk, curd, chachh, lassi, paneer, ghee and other dairy products. In addition, it is also used for cakes, pastries and other bakery items. Some people of Delhi NCR like icecream & milk shakes in winter. Because these food & beverage items are needed throughout the year, deep freezer is required across the year.
How to choose a freezer?
Today freezer is available from Blue Star, Voltas, Rockwell, Trufrost, Haier, LG, Panasonic, Godrej, Nirvana, Elanpro, Western, Celfrost and others. Companies offer 1 to 10 years body warranty and 3 to 5 years compressor warranty. Normally, after enjoying FREE support of warranty period, people exchange their old freezers with new ones. Low price of attracts buyers and they purchase second hand or used freezers.
However, old machine comes with higher chances for breakdown of any electrical or mechanical part. Anytime its wiring, condenser motor, thermostat, gas leakage or even compressor may go wrong. These issues come up quite often. But since the warranty is expired, the new user doesn’t get any free support from OEM or manufacturer. In these cases, the user calls local technician for repair. But the technician charges them heavily. In addition, he may spoil the appliance to get repeat calls. During this breakdown, the user doesn’t suffer only with chest freezer repair, but also with wastage of products and loss of sales. Once you loose a sale, it is not only the loss of that sale, but also it is loss of repeat sale.
Therefore, the best advice is to go for full warranty and take full advantage of it. Pay a little extra price but save huge money in long run. Afterall, it is your money.
What about the high cost of new unit?
You have two options to choose from:
- choose to spend lower cost initially and get ready to spend on repairs regularly
- spend little extra initially and enjoy full peace of mind for minimum1 to 10 years
The best part is that now you have many options to buy on instalment through consumer finance or credit cards. Bajaj Finance, Home Credit, HDFC finance are some finance service providers in Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida and Delhi.
In conclusion, buying a new deep freezer is always the best decision in the long run. You can take advantage of lower initial cost through EMI and full warranty. Moreover, Companies like Rockwell now offer freezers with 10 years warranty on body and 5 years on compressor.
So, it is the time to get smart and enjoy both worlds i.e. purchase new deep freezer on instalments and enjoy full warranty.
