ᐅ Electrical Systems and Built-in Appliances

Hello everyone,

We are currently planning our kitchen. At the Munich Trade Fair, we purchased the usual fair meter-price from a kitchen studio. The quality of the kitchen is very good.

Now we have planned everything. Only the prices of the electrical appliances are really surprising.

When I compare the offer prices with a quick online search (Google, shopping sites, mid-range prices, not the cheapest!), I find the following differences:

Refrigerator price difference around: 416 euros (about 40%)
Extractor hood price difference around: 317 euros (about 30%)
Dishwasher price difference around: 246 euros (about 30%)
Sink price difference around: 450 euros (about 60%)!!!!
Kitchen faucet price difference around: 230 euros (about 50%)
Built-in slicer in drawer price difference around: 130 euros (about 30%)

I assume the kitchen studio already gets better prices than the average consumer. Installation and connection are charged separately anyway. What is the best way to get REALISTIC prices for electrical and built-in appliances? A 10% markup is understandable, but sometimes the price is double.

What do you think?

Our salesperson at the kitchen studio recommended ordering all appliances online, as they charge exorbitant markups on electrical appliances. Remove all electrical appliances from your order and only purchase the rest from the kitchen studio.

Hello,

we bought our kitchen completely without appliances and without a sink. We told the seller right away that we only wanted the cabinets, and he noted that accordingly. We are now paying a certain amount for each appliance installation and water connection, but the savings we made by buying the appliances online were significantly higher.

The interesting question for you is probably whether you bought it with or without appliances.

Hello,

We bought without attending the trade fair. So basically just the price per meter of wood. I think I will now confront him with the price difference. Let’s see what happens.

Hi,

we tried that as well – he said he can’t keep up with it. At the moment, all our electrical appliances are stored in the basement, basically waiting to be moved into the new kitchen. It will be ready in September...

we tried that too – he said he couldn’t compete with it. At the moment, all our electrical appliances are stored in the basement, basically waiting to be installed in the new kitchen. It will finally happen in September...

Same situation here. The electrical appliances are in the basement, waiting to be installed. Unfortunately, for us, it won’t be until November or December...
The seller said there was no negotiation room at all for the electrical appliances and the sink – at least, that’s what he said.
