Electrical and Built-in Appliances

Hello everyone,

we are currently planning our kitchen. At the Munich Handicraft Fair, we bought at a kitchen studio the usual fair meter price. The quality of the kitchen is top so far.

Now we have planned everything. Only with the prices of the electrical appliances, it’s practically unbelievable.

When I take the price from the offer and quickly look on the internet (Google, Shopping, lower mid-price, not the cheapest!) I get the following differences:

Refrigerator price difference approx.: 416 euros (approx. 40%)
Extractor hood price difference approx.: 317 euros (approx. 30%)
Dishwasher price difference approx.: 246 euros (approx. 30%)
Sink price difference approx.: 450 euros!!!! (approx. 60%)
Kitchen faucet price difference approx.: 230 euros (approx. 50%)
Slicer in drawer price difference approx.: 130 euros (approx. 30%)

I just assume that the kitchen studio anyway gets better prices than the average consumer. And installation and connection are paid separately anyway. How is the best way to proceed now to get a REALISTIC price for electrical and built-in appliances. A 10% surcharge I would say is nothing, but in places the price is double.

What do you think?

Our salesperson at the kitchen studio recommended ordering all appliances online because they charge exorbitant markups on electrical appliances (must). Remove all electrical appliances and order only the rest from the kitchen studio.

Hello,

we bought our kitchen completely without electrical appliances and sink. We told the seller right away that we only wanted the furniture and he noted it accordingly. We are now paying a certain amount per appliance installation and water connection, but what we saved on buying the appliances over the internet was significantly more.

The interesting question for you would probably be whether you bought with or without.

Fun

Hello,

we bought without being at the fair. So purely the meter price for wood, so to speak. I think I will now confront him with the price difference. Let's see what happens.

Hi,

we also tried that - he said he can't keep up with it. At the moment, all our electrical appliances are in the basement and are basically waiting to be allowed into the new kitchen. In September, it will be time...

The same with us. Electrical appliances are in the basement waiting to be installed. Unfortunately, for us it won't be until November / December,...
The seller had zero room for negotiation on the electrical appliances and the sink - at least that's what he said.
