Tips & Advice

Practical tips to save money, extend the life of your appliances, and avoid common mistakes.

📺 TELEVISIONS: Choosing and maintaining them well

💡 Save on purchase

  • Avoid impulse purchases : compare similar models (size, resolution, ports).
  • Check out end-of-line offers or display models : perfect for saving without sacrificing quality.
  • Choose a model with HDMI 2.1 only if necessary (video games, recent consoles).
  • Ask your ElectroShop specialist for the best quality/price ratios depending on your usage.

🧼 Maintenance & proper use

  • Gently dust the screen with a dry microfiber cloth (no abrasive cleaner).
  • Keep vents clear to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid direct sunlight which can alter the colors in the long term.
  • Don't leave the TV on standby for days : unplug it if you're going to be away for a long time.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Do not measure the height of the furniture or wall → TV too high = visual discomfort.
  • Buying too small or too large without considering viewing distance.
  • Forget the sound : Consider adding a sound bar for a true cinema experience.

🧊 APPLIANCES: Maximize lifespan and reduce costs

💰 Save smartly

  • Choose ENERGY STAR certified appliances : guaranteed energy savings.
  • Check the "Eco" programs on dishwashers and washing machines to reduce consumption.
  • Buy as a set (e.g. stove + fridge) to benefit from group discounts.
  • Follow ElectroShop's exclusive promotions throughout the year.

🧽 Regular maintenance

  • Clean the filters (hood, washer, dryer) once a month.
  • Defrost freezers without automatic defrosting every 6 months.
  • Run an empty cycle with white vinegar to disinfect your washing machine and dishwasher.

🚫 Don'ts
