Second hand quality appliances are well worth it.

I did have a look, but how do you know what you're getting works well, it's a bit of a punt and not super easy to fix if something goes wrong. I figured it worth just buying new and then having a warranty.

We went new on the dishwasher, a 5 year warranty on something used daily seemed wise.
Same with the washing machine and hob.

Backup fridge freezer in the garage, tumble dryer, ovens, microwave were second hand.

I suppose we split it between requires plumbing/running water = new & warranty, and electricity/less moving parts - second hand.

Yes very much with your thinking on this. Our dishwasher and washing machine will get hammered, it also took 3 people to get the washing machine into the basement so I don't want to do that again for a decade.

Though fridges scare me, they're an item that you always read about causing fires.
