Do Some Research

Every big-ticket purchase requires some background research! Since you’re here, you’ve no doubt begun your search online, which is a great place to start. Locate some models that have the features you want, then read reviews by people who own those machines to see what they think. If you see a lot of one-star reviews on something, you may want to pass on it. Also look into professional reviews by industry publications, since these experts will have thoroughly vetted a particular machine to figure out all its pros and cons. Finally, check the manufacturer’s website to see whether there have been any recalls.
 

Perform A Thorough Inspection

When you’ve chosen a piece of equipment, it’s important that you don’t simply hand over your cash and take it away. You should take the time to thoroughly inspect it from top to bottom, inside and out, to ensure that everything is in good working order.

If you’re not sure what you need to look for during the inspection, ask an experienced friend or hire a professional to give the machine a once-over. A pro can give you a breakdown and advise you on whether the item is a good buy.
