Old habits die hard. Your old washing machine finally calls it quits and you jump in the car and drive to the nearest appliance store to buy a new one. That turns into an all day affair as you go from place to place, trying to find the best washer for the best price. Next time something like this happens to you, try breaking that outdated habit and use comparison sites to find appliances online.

In less time than it takes you to lock up the house and walk out to the garage, you could be at the home page of a good online appliances site. In the time it would take to walk out to the garage and get in your car, you could find the listings for washing machines. Finally, in far less time than it takes to drive to a shopping centre, you could find the best price in town on the perfect washer for your needs. Then you could call the shop and arrange for it to be delivered to your door or drive directly to the shop and avoid hours of fruitless window shopping.

If you\’ve never done an appliances comparison before, don\’t worry: it\’s not a steep learning curve. In fact, the best sites are set up to make browsing products as easy for first time visitors as it is for their regulars. A row of tabs across the top of the page clearly indicates the product categories. Just select the tab that is appropriate for your needs (Laundry, in this example) and either click it on or take the more direct route and use the drop down menu and click where it says \”Washing Machines.\”

All of this should take you less than a minute if you\’ve already bookmarked a good online appliances website. It will take longer if you have to do a search for a site, because not all of them are equally good, so if you stumble across a good one, be sure and bookmark its location for future reference.

The next part of your search will take a little more time, because you will discover that there are hundreds of washers to choose from. At this point, you might start thinking it would be easier to just go downtown and let a salesman make your decision for you. It wouldn\’t be and it would be a costly mistake. If you need some advice, the website will have product guides for you to read. If you already know that you want a washer with electronic controls and a stainless steel tub, you\’ll see these features listed on the side bar. Just specify the features you want and you will be shown only machines that include those features.

The quickest way to find the right appliances online at the best price is to simply click the \”Best Deals\” link above the illustrated list of washing machines. Compare a few of these and when you have found the one you like, your search is done. The whole process can take less than the time it takes you to enjoy a cup of coffee.

That\’s how to use comparison sites to find appliances online. Get into the habit of doing it this way and you will have more time to do the things you want to do.
