A checklist for a sensible appliance search in Austria

Use the German name of the appliance, since that is how Austrian sellers title their ads. Keep one appliance per search. Set a floor price as well as a ceiling, so broken units and spare parts drop out. Limit the area to districts you can realistically collect from, because a washing machine is not something most sellers will post.

With that in place, each email reads like a short list worth opening, rather than a whole category dumped into your inbox.

Why a slow kitchen refit suits email

Replacing appliances one at a time is rarely urgent. You can wait for the right dryer or the right freezer and compare several before you reply. Email keeps every offer in one place: file the mails into a folder, search them by brand later, and after a couple of weeks you will know what a fair price looks like in your area.

There is nothing to install. The mails open on any laptop or phone, and the photos are large enough to judge the condition of a door or a hob.

Checking a used dryer or freezer before you pay

Ask for a picture of the rating plate. The model number tells you the size and energy class; an old freezer can cost more in electricity than you saved on the price. Measure built-in spaces to the centimetre.

When you go to see it, ask to switch it on. A dryer should turn and heat, a freezer should start to cool, a dishwasher should fill and drain. Check door seals for cracks and mould. Pay on collection rather than transferring money in advance to a stranger, and if something has to be shipped, use the payment option willhaben itself provides.

Making sure the alerts reach your inbox

Your email provider decides where a message lands, so look in the spam folder after the first match. Mark the mail as wanted and add our sender to your contacts; most providers learn from that.
