Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

that is not particularly little money for a used kitchen! You can spend significantly less. If I had wanted to have a used kitchen, that would have been max. 3-4k including appliances.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, I had little say in which used one it would be

… I had just replied once, but unfortunately that disappeared?…

There are auctions where you can buy new display kitchens very, very cheaply. Nobilia kitchens as well as other manufacturers for 2-3000 euros. You just have to be a little patient until something suitable is offered. But when ordering new from the kitchen studio, you pay ten times as much and also wait many months for delivery.

I wouldn’t spend 20 or 30k on a kitchen either.

The heating pump in my Bosch dishwasher fits in pretty much all other dishwashers. So the technology in dishwashers is mostly the same. Regardless of whether it’s a no-name brand or a brand manufacturer. You can just as well buy the cheapest. But since many people here are very brand-conscious, they just want to pay a lot of money for nothing.

If I couldn’t repair it myself – it’s always the same parts that break – I would have already had to buy and install the 3rd dishwasher by now. Within exactly 5 years.

Ours cost 350 €. Six years old. Almost all pull-out cabinets. That will be enough for the next few years and it's worlds better than the 25-year-old kitchen from our previous rental apartment :p

The current apartment didn't cost me anything at all - since I took it over for free! Anyone else even cheaper? ;)

Our student kitchen cost about €16,000 in 2015 after some negotiations. The list price was, I believe, around €25,000. Directly from the manufacturer in their own kitchen studio. All appliances from Siemens, Berbel hood and Ritter bread slicer and Lechner splash guard. In a U-shape 9 sqm room, all high gloss with handles. We are very satisfied and would probably do it the same way again. Above all, the storage space is great because one wall is completely full from top to bottom.

Just a question for the experts. Would it make sense to hire a carpenter/joiner to build a suitable kitchen? Completely without electrical appliances. Just specifying the appropriate openings and niches and then obtaining the electrical appliances yourself. Especially since it is said that the biggest price markups are applied to the electrical appliances.
