New or reconditioned appliances

[Adam Karr]

Does anyone install reconditioned appliances or just spend the extra money and put in new ones. We have had pretty decent luck with reconditioned stoves and refrigerators but recently had two bad experiences.

it sort of depends if your property is an A or C property  on an A you should almost always go with new stainless steel 

In a dilapidated apartment with low rents I might throw in a used $50 appliance and if it breaks just replace with another as repairing usually costs more tha fixing  

Nowadays you can get a new stainless stove for $400-500 so you might as well. You end up getting better and greatful tenants. Plus you don’t have to deal with repairs. 

I’d go for newer in most situations
