Buying home appliances seems 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, as an expert in the Uzbekistan market, shares the most common mistakes when choosing home appliances and explains how to avoid them so that 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, only to find at home that it doesn't fit into the niche, bumps into furniture, or obstructs a 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 listed on loretto.uz. 2. Mistake: Ignoring family needs A small refrigerator for 2 people might seem fine. But then a third child arrives, and there's nowhere to store groceries. Or someone buys a 3 kg washing machine, but needs to wash bedding daily. How to avoid: Evaluate not only current needs but also potential growth 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 great. But what's inside? No fresh zones, a noisy compressor, and high energy 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 your budget 2–3 times more 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.
