Scratch and dent appliances are models with minor cosmetic damage from the shipping and unloading process or from accidents from being on the store floor. —In most cases, these minor defects are barely visible or are able to be buffed out, and when purchased from Ken’s—the area’s leader for GE scratch and dent appliances—the physical alterations do not affect the performance in any way—scratch and dent appliances are still fully functioning just like any other unit on the showroom floor. Instead, we offer a reduced price to customers who are willing to take these units as-is.
How Much Are Scratch and Dent Appliances?
Discounts on scratch and dent appliances vary depending on the brand and the severity of the damage. If there is only a minor issue that is easily hidden, the discount might be less. Similarly, stores might not be able to offer steep discounts on luxury brands because of restrictions with the manufacturers. On average, customers can save between 10-20% on scratch and dent models. These are significant savings for many buyers, particularly buyers in the market for a quick replacement or homeowners looking to save on a remodel.

While you can make these repairs yourself, they are not included in the product protection. However, if anything else goes wrong with the performance of the appliance, check to see if it is covered under your warranty.
