It can be one of the most frustrating things in the world... The washer breaks down and you need to get the clothes clean today. The first thing you do, after you mop up all of the water, is search for a repairman to fix your washer.
Too often the repairman cannot make it today and if they do, they will need to order parts. So off to the laundromat you go to spend a few quality hours with strangers.
A better option might be to call a Rent to Own company and then the repair company. Most Rent to Own companies have same day delivery, so you could be washing your clothes in a matter of hours in the privacy of your own home. With Rent to Own you are not locked into a long term contract. You can rent the washer for a week, two weeks or a month, and then return it when your washer has been repaired. Rent to Own does not require a credit check so it is hassle free.
Rent to Own is also a great option if your washer breaks down and you decide that it is time to replace it with a new model. Often you have the debate of which model to buy? Front Load Washer or Top Load Washer? Most Rent to Own companies carry quality name brand products, so you could try before you buy. Just pick the style you are thinking about and try it for a week or two. It is a small investment to make sure that you pick the right appliance that you will have for the next 10 years.
Rent to Own companies like Central Rent 2 Own are great companies to work with if you just don't want to worry about service issues or old appliance features. A good local company will have same day delivery and one of the best warranties in the industry. Under their Benefit2 program you not only get full service for as long as you rent the appliance (or any furniture or electronic item), but also an extra year after you are done renting. They even have a moving service, so if you move in the local market they will come and move any item that you are renting, or have rented and currently own. There is no need to break your back or rent moving equipment. You will find that most of the locally owned Rent to Own companies are all about taking care of the customer and giving them a lot of extra value.
So the next time you are stuck with a broken washer, have guests coming into town for a week and need an extra bed, or are having a party and need an extra refrigerator, you might give a local Rent to Own company a call. They are a great option for those life emergencies or special occassions.
