The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified kitchen appliance appraisals for insurance coverage and claims, estate tax reporting, charitable donation filings, divorce asset division, and asset-based lending, whether the subject is a single high-end residential appliance or a full suite of commercial kitchen equipment.
Scope of work
Kitchen appliance appraisals fall within our equipment and machinery appraisal services, which cover commercial, industrial, and individually owned assets across all categories, so a homeowner's built-in refrigerator and a restaurant's full line are both within scope.
Remote and onsite
Most kitchen appliance appraisals are completed remotely, and onsite inspection may be coordinated for large commercial installations or when condition verification is critical to value. Remote work runs from:

What kitchen appliance appraisal clients say we are known for
Across 16 published kitchen appliance appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Primarily through sales comparison and cost analysis: recent comparable sales drawn from dealer price sheets, manufacturer catalogs, and auction results for the same models, alongside replacement cost new less depreciation. The income approach is reserved for leased equipment or lines tied to a specific income stream.
Yes. Units that miss current energy codes or refrigerant regulations face replacement sooner than their physical condition suggests, which shortens remaining useful life and cuts market value. Functional obsolescence like this is analyzed separately from ordinary wear in the depreciation work.
A comprehensive inventory: appliance type, make, model, serial number, manufacturing year, current condition, and significant modifications or upgrades, plus purchase dates and prices where available. These details drive obsolescence conclusions, remaining-life estimates, and the selection of comparables.
Usually not. Accounting depreciation follows statutory recovery periods, while market value tracks age, condition, remaining life, and demand. Well-maintained commercial appliances can be worth more than book value and technologically obsolete or non-compliant units far less; a credible appraisal addresses the gap explicitly.
