It depends. If you are a show off that only cares about aesthetics, then you're paying for looks, not quality.
In my experience, a great dishwasher is worth the money. I had a Miele that was absolutely silent. Not whisper quiet. Silent.
A good, high quality, refrigerator is also worth it. You don't know your fridge is shit until you have one that keeps your food fresh, and doesn't freeze or wilt your produce.
If you are not a baker, or someone who uses the over on a regular basis, the in my opinion any low tech electric stove will do the trick. Induction top if you like precise temp controls. Getting an oven right is very difficult and normally where you see the well deserved price jump.
The only frustrating thing about my Miele dishwasher was that I couldn't tell if it was on or not. I loved that thing.
Yeah, I actually like the sound of my dishwasher running... It's very quiet, but it just sounds like "clean" if that makes sense
I upgraded my simple low tech 10y old Bosch oven by purchasing a top of the line Bosch one (also about 10y old) for 50 Euro and selling my old one for 30.
Now I have an oven that heats up to 300C, has pyrolisis for self - cleaning and has a built in microwave.
I love buying pre-owned stuff.
Heads up on pyrolytic self cleaning, I've learned since buying mine that it's commonly referred to as "self destruct mode" by oven designers as it is not uncommon for it to damage electronic parts, seals and the front glass of the oven, produces carbon monoxide which it will dump into your house and firefighters recommend against using it as sometimes it just goes up in flames.
Most of the time it's perfectly safe, but has the potential to go wrong just about any time.
There is a lot pre-owned stuff not worth spending money on because it's basically already worn-out. There is also a ton of pre-owned stuff that will last for years more, where the original owner didn't need it anymore for whatever reason. If you know what to buy, second hand is amazing value. I love getting that value too, but it does take some understanding or knowledge.
