Avoid Black Friday Impulse Buys with a More Considered Alternative.

Black Friday brings a flood of deals that make it tempting to splurge on big-ticket items. At Forbes, we offer a sustainable, budget-friendly alternative to impulse shopping: renting high-quality, pre-loved appliances. Here’s why renting could be the most practical choice for your home and wallet this season.

When you rent with Forbes Rentals, you gain access to appliances that deliver excellent performance and durability without a steep upfront cost. We source trusted brands like Bosch, Sony and Samsung. We also offer a pre-loved range, ensuring that each appliance goes through a rigorous refurbishment process to meet our quality standards before being re-rented. This means you can get the best appliances at a fraction of the price, without sacrificing reliability or performance. Our fixed monthly payments make it easy to budget, and because repairs and breakdown cover are included, there’s no need to worry about surprise expenses. If an item is deemed beyond economical repair due to mechanical or electrical failure, we will replace it on a like-for-like basis.

Beyond financial ease, renting also supports a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. By choosing a pre-loved appliance, you’re participating in the circular economy, extending the life of high-quality products, and reducing unnecessary waste. Renting allows you affordable access to energy-efficient models like our Bosch heat pump dryers, which can cut energy usage by up to 65% compared to standard dryers. When you rent an energy-efficient appliance, you’re lowering your monthly utility bills while making a positive impact on the environment; benefits that outlast any one-time sale event.

Renting also offers a level of flexibility that ownership can’t match. If your needs change or if a newer, more efficient model comes out, you can upgrade with Forbes Rentals. You’re not locked into a single appliance and can adapt as your home or lifestyle evolves without the financial commitment that comes with purchasing outright.

In today’s economy, where managing household expenses is essential, renting high-quality, appliances is a practical, sustainable, and cost-effective solution. So, this Black Friday, avoid the allure of flash sales and explore the advantages of renting with Forbes. You’ll enjoy reliable, efficient home and electrical appliances without the hefty price tag, predictable monthly costs, and the satisfaction of making an eco-conscious choice.
