Floor model

A floor model is a piece of equipment placed in a retail shop's sales area for display purposes.

Appliances, such as microwaves, refrigerators, and washing machines, are typically put into rows, so customers may compare the different models.

Consumer electronics are typically plugged into an electric outlet, cable or satellite television feed, or local area network as appropriate.

Because floor models see considerably more use and are subject to more wear and tear than they would if they were not used for display, stores may sometimes discount them when selling them.

Mattress floor models are typically manufactured to be softer on one side than the other.

Floor model may also refer to a large model of a consumer good to be placed on the floor instead of on a shelf such as this Zenith System 3
