Used dishwashers in the UAE typically sell for AED 345 to AED 1,400 (about $94 to $375). Dishwashers are judged on whether they still clean properly, and most faults come down to blocked filters and spray arms rather than anything serious.

Selling a dishwasher in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Remove and clean the filter, then check the spray arm holes are clear
- Look under the machine for any sign of past leaks
Getting it ready
- Run a hot empty cycle with a cleaner, then clean the filter, the spray arms and the door seal by hand.
- Check the door seal for splits and the racks for rust on the tine tips, which is the classic sign of age.

Put in the description
- Width, height and depth in centimetres, and whether integrated, semi-integrated or freestanding
- Place setting capacity and energy rating
- That it has been tested on a full cycle, and any fault you know of
Collection. Disconnect the water and waste before the buyer arrives, drain the residual water into a tray, and transport upright — laying a dishwasher down can flood the base and trip the leak sensor.
Steady year-round with lifts around house moves. Clean, tested, recent machines in standard 60cm widths sell within a week or two.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,384 a buyer pays is the AED 1,384 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a dishwasher in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Is it integrated or freestanding?
Say it in the title. An integrated machine without its door panel needs a kitchen fitter, and a buyer who did not realise that will not be pleased.
Is a second-hand dishwasher worth buying?
Yes, and prices are low relative to new. Most poor performance is a blocked filter or spray arm rather than a failing machine.
What should I check before selling a dishwasher?
Run a full cycle with a real load. Clean the filter and spray arms first, since that fixes most cleaning complaints.
