There are many occasions that can require the purchase of new home appliances. If you are renovating your home or you’re finally upgrading your old appliances, you might have been able to save the cash for a specific purchase or factored the upgrades into your existing finance – however, we understand that the purchase of home appliances isn’t always exciting and expected, it can be essential and sometimes very stressful!
If you’ve had to move house unexpectedly and your new accommodation doesn’t offer a washer and dryer, this can be a large upfront expense that you might not be prepared for, or in the event of an emergency – imagine the air conditioner breaks down in the middle of summer! – it’s situations like these where you need to access funds fast, you might consider applying for an instant personal loan for appliances to get you out of trouble quickly.
What are home appliances?
Home appliances can be major or minor purchases for different types of equipment used throughout the home.
Some examples of home appliances include;
- Kitchen appliances: Stove, Dishwasher, Food processor, Microwave, Fridge or Freezer;
- Garden appliances: Lawn mower, Line Trimmer, Pressure Washer, Lighting and Heating;

There are appliances in almost every room in our homes, and we can sometimes forget how important they all are until they break!
Can I finance appliances?
Yes – there are many different options for financing appliances in Australia – some retailers offer extended payment terms or credit cards in store which can sometimes have some pretty hefty fees, or high interest rates. Some banks, lenders or other financial institutions offer personal loans, or even the option to rent the appliances that you need.
It is important to research the different types of finance that are available, how they are repaid, and if there are any extra costs if you would like to pay it out early so you can choose the option which best aligns with your individual circumstances. Some people like credit cards to take advantage of rewards programs, and some people find credit cards confusing and hard to keep track of and would prefer to make regular payments each week or fortnight, like a Fundo loan, which automatically deducts your payment from your account on your pay date without you needing to do a thing!
