Good Kitchen and Appliance Items — Second-Hand Buying Guide

Good is the grade most second-hand kitchen and appliance items are actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $7 to $307 across the category (about £5 to £228). Used regularly, working properly and complete. A failing motor, a perished seal or a missing part takes it to Fair.

Where the line falls

Kitchen equipment is beaten by heat, water and detergent: non-stick coatings lift, motor brushes wear down, and seals go hard and stop sealing.

For comparison, one grade up is Like New Kitchen and Appliance Items and one step down is Fair Kitchen and Appliance Items.

Common questions

Does it come up to temperature properly?

Utensil marks on the coating, some discolouration on the elements, and light limescale, but everything runs as it should.
