Hello everyone,
Since the electrical appliances offered through kitchen planners are almost always close to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (often feeling at least 50% more expensive than in regular retail), I would like to know your strategy regarding these appliances.
Of course, there are advantages to sourcing appliances through a kitchen studio/planner, but I don’t find the excessive markup justified.
Do you have experience contacting individual and wholesale dealers or competing furniture stores/planners to get quotes? Or are the prices on sites like “idealo” (reliable dealers) still the best option?
Over the weekend, I noticed that prices from stores like MediaMarkt, etc., sometimes don’t appear, even though they are listed on MediaMarkt’s website (this varies from appliance to appliance).

Maybe you should just buy the entire kitchen from him if he’s offering the appliances at such a good price?
That would be fair and everyone would benefit, right? The kitchen was already designed and ordered elsewhere. Interestingly, the studio with the good appliance prices completely messed up the kitchen design (I had already bought two other kitchens from them), so I looked for another planner.
They messed up because:
1. It was twice as expensive
2. The design was sloppy
