Purchasing home appliances might seem like a simple task: come, choose, pay. But in practice, up to 60% of buyers make one or more mistakes that lead to disappointment, additional costs, or even appliance replacement. Loretto, an expert in the Uzbekistan market, shares the most common mistakes when choosing home appliances and explains how to avoid them, ensuring your purchase brings joy, not headaches. 1. Mistake: Buying 'by eye' without measurements A very common situation: a buyer picks up a beautiful stove or washing machine, but at home, it doesn't fit into the niche, bumps into furniture, or blocks the passage. How to avoid: Before purchasing, measure the exact dimensions of the installation space (width, depth, height). Don't forget to account for door opening, connection space, and ventilation. Accurate appliance dimensions are always provided on the loretto.uz website. 2. Mistake: Ignoring family needs A small refrigerator for 2 people might seem fine. But then a third child arrives, and there's no space for groceries. Or a 3 kg washing machine is bought, but bedding is washed daily. How to avoid: Evaluate not only today's needs but also the growth of needs over the next 3–5 years. Consider the number of people, cooking volume, and lifestyle. Example: A family of 4 would benefit from a 7–8 kg washing machine and a refrigerator of 300 liters or more. 3. Mistake: Choosing solely based on appearance A stylish refrigerator with a mirrored door looks good. But what's inside? No fresh zones, a noisy compressor, and high electricity consumption. How to avoid: Compare features and specifications, not just design. Loretto offers appliances where aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand. 4. Mistake: Neglecting energy efficiency 'The cheaper, the better.' But appliances with energy consumption class B or C can drain 2–3 times more from your budget than A+ and higher. How to avoid: Pay attention to the energy class (look for A+, A++, A+++). Loretto appliances are designed with long-term electricity savings in mind.
