Compare repairing and replacing the essential.
For a fridge, washing machine or other essential appliance, compare quotes and eligible No Interest Loans before taking on fees.
CashLift is preparing to launch and is not accepting applications. Joining the waitlist is not an application or an offer.
Work out the real replacement cost
Compare a repair quote with the purchase price, delivery, installation and disposal costs of a replacement. A refurbished or second-hand item may cost less, but check condition, warranty terms and expected running costs.
Check No Interest Loans
Eligible No Interest Loans can cover essential appliances without interest or fees. The supplier invoice is paid directly rather than cash being deposited to you. Eligibility and ability to repay still apply; check the provider before committing to a purchase.
Allow room for repayments
CashLift’s planned amount paid range is $200–$2,000. Do not assume an appliance price fits the limit once delivery or installation is included. A short repayment term can create a substantial weekly commitment even for a relatively small purchase.

Questions for this expense
Can the planned CashLift funds buy a used appliance?
Discuss the actual purchase and loan purpose during assessment. The planned payout is to your bank account; approval and affordability requirements still apply.
Is a store interest-free offer cost-free?
Not necessarily. Check account fees, repayment conditions and what happens when the promotional period ends. Compare the total amount payable.
Funding is conditional on assessment, verification, acceptance and funding requirements. Bank processing affects receipt; no same-day timing is guaranteed. The offer will explain weekly repayments and the available repayment method before acceptance.
