Appliance rental?

pennypinchingmum

hello, not sure if i'm on the right board so if i'm not apologies.

I dont have a microwave and i dont really have room for one since i dont use them However for christmas it would be very handy (xmas puds etc.). I dont particularly want to buy one even though they can be cheap since i would literally only use it for a max of 2 months and it seems like a waste, to my purse and the environment!
So i was wondering if anyone knew if you could hire microwaves? and if anyone has any experience of this. I've never rented an appliance so i'm completely in the dark. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

Hello. I hired a hoover before. It was from Bennetts electrical shop in king's lynn. Was a few years ago though.

TBH microwaves are really cheap now if you want it for a couple of months probably cheaper to buy a cheap one. Morrison's sometimes sell them for around £25

I know they are so cheap because I have rented caravans for holidays and they charge more to have a few extras than it does to actually buy a a new one

Why not buy a £15 "Durabrand" one from Asda?

Do you have a freecycle in your area? You could always try putting a wanted post on there and then you can pop it back on there when you've finished with it
