Unbelievable offers at the Big Billion Days!

When it comes to upgrading our lives, we generally associate it with accessories, gadgets or devices. Usually, this involves purchasing a new smartphone or a laptop with the latest specifications. Unfortunately, we neglect our homes and fail to ‘upgrade' our household appliances for several years. We end up tolerating odd noises, increased power consumption and live with the additional costs and inconveniences.

The pandemic has altered our lifestyle and has driven us to spend more time indoors. We have begun to pay close attention to appliances that meet our specific needs. Energy efficiency ratings are also a significant influence in our consideration. Fundamentally, if you're using a large appliance that isn't energy efficient for up to a decade, then simply switching to newer technologies could save you much more than your investment over the years.

Keeping this in mind, Flipkart, India's homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has curated a product exchange programme – ‘Prexo' that allows you to upgrade a host of household appliances ranging from fans and coolers to geysers and mixer grinders in an affordable manner. Choosing from Flipkart's vast selection of consumer durables and affordability constructs, here are some of the home appliances you can upgrade this festive season:

Fans and Coolers

Consumers dislike replacing Fans and coolers every year. The need to upgrade arises when there's water leakage from the air coolers or if the compressor needs to be replaced. Flipkart offers a wide range of energy-efficient ceiling fans and air coolers that come with remote control options. Apart from speed control, you can also make use of the timer feature for scheduling and even switching between various rotation modes. Turn in your old ceiling fan for a brand-new smart ceiling fan for a hassle-free experience.

Cordless and Robot Vacuum Cleaners 

Vacuum cleaners are a great investment for any household. They are easy to operate and reduce the hassle of physically mopping and vacuuming floors. The benefit in terms of increased efficiency and free time for your personal work is worth every bit. Robotic vacuum mops can be programmed to do their task even when you are away from home and can be controlled over Wi-Fi using your smartphone. But over time, they can get noisy and lose their suction strength to pick up the remains from the floor. Flipkart has a great range of Robot and Cordless Vacuum Cleaners to choose from.
