LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Recyclum is that 12th arrondissement address locals pass along to one another when an appliance unexpectedly gives up the ghost. Located at 146 avenue Daumesnil, this consignment shop specializes in secondhand domestic appliances and stocks a varied selection: washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers, reconditioned refrigerators, and a handful of vintage fridges with the rounded forms of the 1950s that make a statement in any kitchen. New equipment is also available, including brands such as Rosière and Miele.
What truly sets the place apart is the service: the owner can sometimes troubleshoot minor breakdowns over the phone at no cost, and same-day delivery is possible in under four hours, depending on availability. It's worth calling ahead to confirm an item is still in stock—turnover is brisk. A solid option when you're after a functioning appliance outside the usual channels.
« J'ai eu une excellente expérience en achetant un réfrigérateur reconditionné il y a deux semaines. Il a été livré moins d'une heure après l'achat et fonctionne parfaitement pour le moment. »
