How to assess appliances and tools

Durability, service, parts, energy use, warranty and practical value.

Compare first:
  • real usage
  • energy and consumables
  • parts availability
  • service and warranty
  • durability and resale

Quick analysis

Enter figures from the specific deal. The benchmark should come from several genuinely comparable listings, and the contingency should cover category-specific risks.

What can distort the result

The most common mistake is comparing deals with different scope or condition. The second is entering zero post-purchase cost simply because it is not yet known. Use a cautious contingency and test two scenarios.

Decision after analysis

A “worth considering” verdict only means your inputs form a reasonable case. Before paying, confirm condition, documents, scope and safe collection.
