What is a used combi oven worth in the UK?

UK price guide

What is a used combi oven worth?

Anywhere from £400 to £11,995, and almost nothing about that range is explained by the oven. A 6-grid Rational is £3,600 plus VAT from a dealer who has tested and warranted it, and a comparable Convotherm is £650 collection-only off a classified ad. Grid count and who is selling it account for most of the difference.

Why the range is that wide

The gap between £650 and £3,600 for broadly similar ovens is the widest in this trade, and it is not really about the oven. A dealer unit has been tested, cleaned, often descaled and sometimes carries a short parts warranty; a classified unit is as-is, collection only, and you are taking the boiler on trust. On a combi that distinction is unusually expensive, because the boiler and the control board are most of the machine's value and neither can be judged from a photograph. Then there is getting it out: these are heavy, and a 40-grid needs three-phase and a gas connection before it cooks anything.

What moves the number

Grid count

The single biggest driver. A 6-grid and a 40-grid are different machines for different kitchens, and the price scales roughly with capacity rather than with age.

Boiler versus injection

Boiler models scale up and are the common failure point. A descaling history, or evidence of a replaced boiler, is worth real money and is the first thing a buyer who knows these ovens will ask about.

Make

Rational holds value well and has parts availability everywhere; less common makes are cheaper for exactly that reason, and that discount is rational rather than a bargain.

Services at the destination

Three-phase electrics, a gas connection and extraction are often more than the difference between two ovens. A buyer without them is not a buyer at any price.

Tested versus as-is

A unit that has been run through a full cycle in front of someone commands a large premium over one described as working. Spares-or-repair is a different market again.

Got some to sell?

Listing on LotLoop costs nothing and always will — sellers pay 0% commission, permanently, and it is not a promotion. You receive the full amount you list or agree, because the LotLoop commission sits on the buyer’s price rather than being deducted from yours.

Send what you already have — a stock sheet, a spreadsheet, a few phone photos — and LotLoop writes the listing from it. Nothing is published until you have read it back and approved it.

The limits of these figures

These are asking prices, not sold prices. No UK transaction data for used catering equipment is published.
Figures marked seller-published come from dealers who refurbish and resell these ovens, and several are discounted from a higher 'regular' price set by the same dealer.
Dealers commonly quote excluding VAT and charge delivery separately; classifieds usually quote inclusive and collection-only.
Installation, three-phase electrics, gas connection and extraction are excluded throughout.

If you know this market better than these figures suggest — and if you trade in it, you probably do — tell us and we will correct the page. hello@lotloop.co.uk.
