Transparent Valuation Criteria
How we value used kitchen equipment
We value used commercial kitchen equipment in Singapore by assessing six practical factors: working condition, brand and parts support in Singapore, age and service history, standard dimensions, utility specification, and removal logistics (Yes, dismantling and removal are free). Send photos for a written offer within 24 hours.
Why is there no fixed price list for used kitchen equipment?
Two commercial chillers or combi ovens of the same size can differ widely in value depending on compressor health, boiler scale, age, and whether they require heavy dismantling.
Publishing made-up price ranges online misleads sellers—either by setting unrealistic expectations or by underpricing well-maintained machines. Instead, we inspect your actual photos and rating plates and give you a real figure we stand behind.
In the wider restaurant industry, used equipment resells at a substantial discount to brand-new dealer prices because the next buyer takes on shorter remaining lifespan and no manufacturer warranty.
How can I get the strongest offer for my equipment?
Photograph machines while they are still clean and powered on, include clear shots of every rating plate, and keep all original racks, shelves, and baskets together.
When we can see a digital thermostat holding target temperature and read the exact model number and year on the rating plate, we do not have to price in worst-case repair assumptions.
Missing stainless shelves, fryer baskets, dishwasher racks, or espresso portafilters are surprisingly costly to replace individually, so keeping accessories with each machine protects your valuation.
The 6 factors we check on every quote
| Factor | How it affects our valuation |
|---|---|
| 1. Working order & live testing | Machines that power on, reach target temperature or pressure, and have no control-board faults receive our strongest offers. Non-working units are assessed under our policy: No; we buy working commercial equipment only. |
| 2. Manufacturer & local parts support | Commercial models with established distributor servicing and readily available spare parts in Singapore are much easier for the next F&B operator to maintain. |
| 3. Age, serial plate & service history | A legible rating plate showing manufacture year, voltage/phase, and serial number—paired with clean coils or descaled boilers—reduces refurbishment risk. |
| 4. Standard F&B dimensions | Standard gastronorm chillers, 6- or 10-tray combi ovens, 2-group espresso machines, and rectangular 304 stainless tables fit typical Singapore kitchen floor plans. |
| 5. Completeness of accessories | Original stainless shelves, shelf clips, fryer baskets, cast-iron grates, dishwasher racks, and portafilters avoid costly replacement parts. |
| 6. Site access & dismantling scope | Ground-floor or cargo-lift access vs multi-storey stairs, after-hours mall rules, and dismantling complexity (Yes, dismantling and removal are free) determine crew and lorry cost. |

Questions about how we value equipment
Direct answers to common questions from restaurant, cafe and central kitchen owners in Singapore.
Does selling a full kitchen together affect the valuation?
Yes. When we can collect multiple chillers, ovens, and stainless tables in a single lorry trip from one loading bay, transport and crew time per item are lower than collecting one small item across town.
What do you need from me to give a quote?
Clear photos of each item, a close-up of each rating plate, honest condition notes, and your Singapore postal code. For full kitchens we may also ask to visit the site.
What if some of my equipment is broken?
Our policy on non-working equipment is: No; we buy working commercial equipment only. Always disclose faults upfront so our quote is accurate.
