I have to get all new(er)kitchen appliances. I don’t have a huge budget. I can’t buy all of them new with installation. If I use one of these used appliance stores I can. Any recommendations? Good ones? Ones to avoid? I just can’t afford new.

There are several stores that sell used appliances. Google "used appliance stores near The Villages FL" and they'll pop up. Unfortunately I don't know anything about how honest their practices are, but they might be worth a look. There is also a thrift store behind Wal-Mart on 466 that sells appliances from time to time, as they come in. They're pretty pricey for a thrift store though.

Another option is "Bargains and Blessings" in Wildwood. Might be worth a trip.

Also check on TOTV: they list items that residents have for sale.

There are also the (numerous) estate sales in and around The Villages. They're usually listed in The Daily Sun. The ones that are brokered tend to be pricey, but there are also non-brokered sales as well as garage sales, several-family rummage sales, etc. I'd check them out as well.

Good luck!

Back home, I used to get all my appliances from a company called Appliance Smart, they basically sold new but they were all scratch and dent. Often times the blemishes were in places no one would see, so I got a brand new appliance with a full warranty for a lot less money. I know they have something like it here up on 441/27 big store with Yellow in its sign... I think its Appliance Direct... Worth a look anyways...

Check classified here, always appliances that some new owner replaced and selling cheap new appliances that was in house.

Lowes will occasionally have scratch and dent sales. However given that appliances these days do not last as long as they used to, you might want to consider not replacing everything at one time but buy as you can afford.

You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and look at their floor models that have scratches or dents as they are very reasonably priced. It wouldn't hurt to call and ask the appliance manager if they have any cosmetically damaged items that might interest you.

Why do you need to replace all at one? Are they all not working?Maybe replace one at a time. One's you really need. Put up with other ones's until you can replace later. Look for Black Friday sales....

First, I would only replace ones actually broken. Second, NextDoor app has used appliances for sale but you may be buying someone else’s problem. Look at veteran day sales on line and if can wait Black Friday sales. Again only buy what needs to be replaced because broken.

Many homes in Rdge Manor (40 minutes south of us) are still flooded from Milton. The river reached an unusual flood stage. They probably all need replacement appliances. Don’t know if that is where the op is from but it would make sense

Try A.J. Madison online. They sell new, but when we got our last full set of appliances they beat the prices on everything compared to local stores.
If that is still out of budget I agree with the idea of replacing one piece at a time if you can. I just had to replace a fill valve on a GE washer that was only 3 years old! Appliances just don't last as long as they used too.
Good luck with your search.

I have purchased new and used appliances from MVB on 27/441 in Leesburg Great selection, great price, great customer service They installed the appliances and took the old ones away and even took a mattress I didn’t want. I highly recommend them

Also purchased a new fridge from appliance direct Great price, delivery and installation. Recommend them also.

Good luck. Some interesting styles and colors out there

Personally I’d stay with new. Places like home improvement stores have many levels of prices and include delivery and installation. I would go in, tell the salesperson your budget and see what they have

Best Buy has an outlet in Ocoee. You have to be selective, but you can get some good prices. We were told that they restock late Monday so Tuesday is the best day to look. Also, make sure all the installation parts are with your matchine. We picked a dishwasher that couldn’t be installed as it was missing a couple of those parts and Best Buy doesn’t supply them when they install.

If, I understand the original post they are not able to move or install the equipment. Stuff is simply not made to last. Our previous home we were still using a Maytag washing machine that came with the used house when we bought it. We lived in the house for 40 years and it was still working.

I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but I will relate my experience of purchasing used appliances (note: this did not happen in the state of Florida). The establishment only sold used appliances. I don't know how they obtained their inventory, but they fixed or refurbished everything that they sold. They also provided a very limited warranty. At the time, we were in the process of building a new house and had to move into a rental home temporarily until our new house was complete. I needed a washer/dryer because the people who bought the house that we sold made our existing washer/dryer part of the terms of their (fabulous) purchase offer, which we had accepted. The rental home did not provide a washer/dryer, so I only needed something that would last 6 months because our new house came with a washer/dryer. I selected a 50 year old Kenmore washer and dryer off of the sales floor. They were as basic (in features) as you can get. They were delivered to our rental and installed flawlessly. The washer worked for the first cycle while the delivery people were there, but never again. The store immediately took away the nonworking unit and provided a replacement. After that, everything was great. I loved those old Kenmore appliances and wished that I could have taken them with me to our new house. They just don't make solid appliances like that today. So, if you can find such a place locally that refurbishes old appliances, and stands behind their work, don't be afraid to purchase from them, and maybe the older and more basic the appliance, the better. Our old washer and dryer were incredibly inexpensive and I think we could have easily gotten another 10-plus years out of them. We left them in our rental for the next people to enjoy and our landlord was happy.

Watch "Talk of the Village Classified" ads. Also, check out Craig's List (Ocala). If you find something, but don't have the ability to transport and/or install the appliance, call Jeremy Caswell (Handyman) at 603-833-3213 to pick it up and install it for you. My wife and I picked up good used appliances and installed them ourselves, which saved us a LOT of money.

I’ve bought appliances from this sight in the classifieds and on market place for excellent prices. Sometimes people just didn’t like the colors and replace all of their brand new appliances. One time this lady had three sets of washers and dryers and needed to get rid of them.Just this week I bought 5
upper cabinets from marketplace that were only 2 yrs old for my utility room. BUTyou have to move fast because they sell quick.

Buy low end, new appliances. Used appliances are too risky, especially if you cannot repair them yourself. And, do not pay anything for extended warranties.

I got a great deal at Best Buy for a washer and dryer that had minor cosmetic damage.

They were not matching which is a good thing since the LG dryer had major issues. The Westinghouse Dryer and LG washer have been awesome.
