Is there a better time to upgrade your laundry?
Diwali aka the festival of lights is easily the biggest and most important festival in India. It’s a joyous occasion for many, a time for family and friends… and if you’re in the market for a washing machine, the best time to purchase one? Surprisingly, yes, it is. Oh, and Diwali is considered an auspicious time for making new purchases, after all.
See, as the most important festival in the country, Diwali is when we see the biggest deals and sales across all retailers big and small. If you’re looking to upgrade an appliance – not just a washing machine – or to buy a new gadget, there really isn’t a better time than Diwali to make that purchase.
Festive discounts
Every single retailer and just about every brand and manufacturer, not to mention banks, will have some kind of offer running during Diwali. These offers don’t just include direct discounts, but also instant cashbacks, no-cost EMIs, better exchange offers, freebies, and more. If you’re looking for a good deal, this is the best time to look for one.
Getting rid of old stock
Diwali is also a time when manufacturers usher in new products and start getting rid of old stock. That old stock, which is perfectly functional in the case of washing machines, might end up going for a steep discount. Given that washing machines can easily last a decade or more and that you’re not really going to feel like you’re missing out if you buy an older model, there really isn’t any need to splurge on a newer model just for the sake of it.
New models
Of course, newer models also come in during this period and if you just happen to have a hankering for a shiny new washing machine, there’s no harm in splurging on a new model with the latest features and washing algorithms is there?
Even if these newer models aren’t discounted, you’ll still get a better deal than you would normally thanks to the aforementioned freebies, instant bank discounts, and more.
Given the plethora of offers available, it’s actually pragmatic and practical to time upgrades around Diwali. And hey, all that post-Diwali washing up will be that much easier thanks to that shiny new machine now sitting in your laundry room.
