New or old kitchen equipment, which is better?

 When you are trying to buy commercial kitchen equipment for your restaurant, then you may wonder whether to invest in brand-new canteen kitchen equipment or you should look for second-hand commercial kitchen equipment. There are obvious pros and cons associated with both brand-new as well as second-hand kitchen equipment. In this article, we will share with you the advantages of both new as well as old restaurant equipment so that you can make a judicious choice.

Advantages of brand-new kitchen equipment

It is a no-brainer that a piece of brand-new equipment gives you multiple advantages compared to a piece of second-hand equipment. The first and most obvious one is the warranty. If you go for second-hand equipment, then chances are that you have to spend a lot of money on its maintenance that negates all the advantages you get to buy it for a discount. Furthermore, it has been observed that a piece of brand new kitchen equipment would perform more efficiently compared to an old one that has gone through its paces for several years. Therefore, we suggest that when you are planning to purchase big equipment that costs a lot of money like stoves, ovens, refrigerators et cetera, you should only buy brand-new items.

Advantages of buying second-hand restaurant equipment

The one and the only advantage of buying a piece of second-hand kitchen equipment is that you can save a lot on its price. Since price is a big factor when you are opening a restaurant and can affect your balance sheet adversely (if you splurge on high-end sophisticated equipment), therefore, in such a situation you can go for a piece of second-hand kitchen equipment if you are on a tight budget.

If you are looking for used restaurant equipment, then we suggest that you can go to a reputed commercial auction house. Look for a piece of equipment that is not too old and still has a warranty on it. We suggest that if you are looking at the second-hand option, then use this option to buy gas ranges because they are very expensive to buy and usually last for a very long (if they are from a good brand). Look at the equipment carefully to see whether they are working perfectly, whether a part of it is damaged or has rust on it.

 We hope the suggestions we have given here in this article would help you decide whether you want to buy brand-new kitchen equipment or look for second-hand pieces which are in good condition.
