Tips for choosing pay weekly appliances
We can’t live without our appliances. They help us in our daily lives with cooking, storing, cleaning and more. So whether you're furnishing a new home or upgrading your white goods, picking the right item is important. Find out what you need to consider and our seven top tips for choosing your perfect pay weekly appliance.
What do you need?
Before you start shopping, take a second to think about exactly what you need. Are you struggling to air out damp clothes without a tumble dryer? Or is your freezer always fit to bursting? If you need multiple appliances – pop them into priority order. This will help you focus on one purchase at a time, so you can avoid unnecessary splurges. Hiya! offers washing machines, tumble dryers and fridge-freezers so you could even tick off your entire list with affordable pay weekly appliances.
Our 7 top tips
Be budget smart
Appliances are clever pieces of kit. So when you buy them outright, it’s a big expense. Luckily, with weekly rental, it’s already much easier to find what you need at a price you can afford. It’s still a good idea to set a budget and stick to it. Plus, we’ll help by reviewing your application to make sure we offer you an appliance at a cost that’s manageable for you. Our white goods start at just £7.99. And with hiya!, there’s no credit check in the traditional sense. We just look at your recent history (not your score) to see if you can afford the appliance today.
Energy efficiency
We all know how it important it is to take care of our planet. That’s why it’s a good idea to choose an appliance that’s eco-friendly. It can save you money on bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Our white goods all come with an Energy Rating to guide you – which means they meet strict efficiency standards. The scoring runs from ‘A’ (top of the pops) and through the alphabet to ‘G’ (could be better).
Measure up
Once you see an appliance you like the look of, it’s tempting to click buy straight away. But first, measure the space where you’re planning to put it. Although there’s a standard range, appliances come in different shapes and sizes. It needs to fit perfectly so measure height, width and depth. Also keep in mind where pipes run, how a washing machine or fridge door will swing open and any ventilation.
Consider capacity
How big is your household? Are you a family that creates leaning towers of washing? Or a solo who gets by with a weekly refresh? Do you always have a chock-full fridge and freezer? When picking your appliance, you need to choose the right capacity. For example, our washing machines can handle a range of loads from 6-8kg while our fridge-freezers can fit up to a whopping 245 litres. If loads of space isn’t essential, you can choose a smaller model and probably save a few pounds each week.
Study the special features
Today, lots of appliances come with clever features and smart tech. But nobody really needs a fridge with a TV in the door or a washing machine with Wi-Fi. Simply decide which elements are essential for your daily needs and fit your budget. For example, check if a washing machine has enough cleaning cycles or a stop/start option (if you always forget a pair of socks). If it’s a fridge freezer, look out for the number of compartments, trays and drawers or handy automatic defrost settings.
Don’t forget delivery
Once you’ve chosen your shiny new appliance, the next job is figuring out how to get it home. Not with Hiya! We take delivery completely off your plate.

Remember repairs
White goods and kitchen appliances are built to last. But that doesn’t mean they won’t have the occasional hiccup. If you were buying an item outright, you’d have to hunt down a local maintenance service, check if you can replace parts for that model and fork out for any pricey repairs. But with weekly white good rentals, we’ll cover that cost and fix them up for you – free of charge.
