Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on appliance age, issue complexity, part availability, and labor rates.

If you have a stainless steel appliance and notice a scratch, your first instinct might be to panic. There’s no need to reconsider your appliance choices—minor scratches are an unfortunate but totally normal part of stainless steel wear-and-tear.

Stainless steel is practically rust-resistant, though if you have many hairline scratches (or a significant deep scratch), it is more likely to become discolored and potentially start to form rust if bacteria gets in the scratches.

It depends. For new ovens, it’s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.

The best time to buy a new appliance is when your current appliance breaks or you are doing a renovation. You could get a good deal on a new one. Retailers will often list these items on sale during major shopping holidays like Black Friday, Labor Day, etc. Another great time for an appliance upgrade or change is during a renovation. Not only will you be able to better match your appliance to your new style, but the contractor may be able to dispose of your old appliance for no fee.

Inverter generators are designed to turn on the engine when your appliances demand more energy. This is in contrast to running at full capacity as soon as they’re turned on, like a standard portable generator does. So long as the wattage rating is high enough, an inverter can power a refrigerator just as well as a traditional generator.
