If you're furnishing a flat in Riyadh on a budget, you don't need to pay full retail. Used and refurbished appliances — fridges, washing machines, split air conditioners, ovens, TVs — are widely available across the city, both online and at local second-hand markets. This is essentially a guide on where to buy refurbished appliances in Riyadh: top stores and online options, plus the real SAR prices you can expect. The two fastest routes are the big classifieds apps (Dubizzle, OK.com and Haraj) for private sellers, and dedicated marketplace areas like Haraj Bin Qasim for walk-in buying. Here's where to look and how to buy safely.
A quick note on terms: most listings you'll see are genuinely second-hand (used) rather than professionally refurbished. We cover both here, and we flag which sellers actually inspect and repair stock.
The short answer: where to buy used and refurbished appliances in Riyadh
For most residents and expats, the quickest wins are online. You browse by category, filter by district, message the seller, and arrange inspection and delivery. For hands-on buyers who want to test before paying, the physical second-hand areas around the city are still the go-to. Below we break down each option, with real price examples so you know what's fair.
Online marketplaces for used and refurbished appliances
These are the platforms Riyadh residents actually use day to day. Each has thousands of listings, but the condition, warranty and delivery terms are set by the individual seller — so always read the listing carefully and confirm details before you commit.
Dubizzle Saudi Arabia
Dubizzle is one of the most popular classifieds platforms in the Kingdom. Riyadh listings regularly include used refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines and air conditioners. As a real-world example, a Samsung 1.5-ton used split air conditioner was recently listed at SAR 1,400, marked negotiable. Prices, seller location, delivery, installation and any warranty all vary by listing, so use the in-app messaging to pin down the specifics before arranging a viewing.
OK.com
OK.com carries a strong selection of used appliances across Riyadh districts including Al-Yarmouk, Al-Wisham, Al-Malqa and Al-Jazirah. Recent listings give a good sense of the market: a Sharp refrigerator for around SAR 650, a five-burner stove for roughly SAR 450, a 55-inch smart TV for about SAR 650, a Samsung air conditioner near SAR 1,100, and a 10-kg washing machine for approximately SAR 450. Filtering by district makes it easy to find sellers near you and cut down on transport costs.
Haraj
Haraj is a long-established Saudi marketplace with huge volumes of used electrical and kitchen appliances, washing machines, televisions and air conditioners in Riyadh. Bundle deals are common: one Riyadh listing offered a group of used kitchen appliances for SAR 3,500, while another packaged used air conditioners and electrical appliances for around SAR 1,000. Because Haraj leans heavily on direct seller contact, confirm inspection, delivery and any warranty with the seller yourself.
Noon refurbished
Noon runs a dedicated refurbished category covering inspected and repaired electronics — televisions, laptops, phones, watches and accessories. It's a solid, more formal option if you want a professionally checked item rather than a private sale. Note, though, that Noon's refurbished range is focused on consumer electronics; it's not a reliable source for large white goods like refrigerators or washing machines in Riyadh, so for those stick to the classifieds apps and local markets.
Where to shop in person in Riyadh
Some buyers prefer to see, switch on and test an appliance before handing over any money — especially for a fridge or washing machine, where a hidden fault is expensive to fix. For that, Riyadh's second-hand marketplace areas remain the practical choice.
Haraj Bin Qasim and local second-hand areas
Haraj Bin Qasim is a well-known Riyadh marketplace area for second-hand goods, appliances included. You'll find a rotating mix of refrigerators, ACs, cookers and more from multiple sellers in one place, which makes it easy to compare and haggle. There are no fixed, published prices or standardised warranties here — everything is negotiated face to face — so bring cash, inspect thoroughly, and test the unit powered on before you pay.
How much do refurbished appliances cost in Riyadh?
Prices swing based on brand, age, size, condition and whether delivery or installation is thrown in. As a rough guide drawn from current Riyadh listings:
- Used refrigerator — typically around SAR 650 and up, depending on size and brand
- Washing machine (around 10 kg) — typically around SAR 450 and up
- Five-burner stove / cooker — typically around SAR 450 and up
- Split air conditioner (1.5-ton) — typically around SAR 1,100 to SAR 1,400, often negotiable
- 55-inch smart TV — typically around SAR 650 and up
- Kitchen appliance bundle — around SAR 3,500 for a full group
Prices fluctuate based on seller, condition and negotiation; these figures reflect recent Riyadh listings and are a September 2026 snapshot that may vary. Treat them as starting points, not fixed tags. Negotiating is normal across all platforms, and bundling several items with one seller can bring the per-item price down significantly.
How to buy a refurbished appliance safely: step by step
A little due diligence saves a lot of regret. Work through these steps before you pay:
- Check the basics — note the model, age, condition, power rating and serial number. Older, high-consumption units can cost you more on electricity than you saved at purchase.
- Test it before paying — switch the appliance on. For a fridge, make sure it cools; for a washer, run a short cycle; for an AC, confirm it blows cold and runs quietly.
- Confirm what's included — ask directly whether delivery, installation, removal of your old appliance and any warranty are part of the deal.
- Get a written receipt — a simple note of the item, price, date and seller's name protects you if there's a dispute.
- Keep a paper trail — use the platform's in-app messaging and keep documented payment records rather than undocumented cash hand-offs where possible.
Delivery, installation and old-appliance removal
None of these are guaranteed with a used purchase — they're extras you negotiate. Many private sellers won't deliver, so you may need your own transport or a small pickup via a local driver. For heavy items, agree the delivery fee before you commit, and clarify whether the seller will carry the unit up to your floor. If you're replacing an old appliance, ask whether the seller will haul away the one you're swapping out — some will, many won't.
Do you need any government procedure to buy used appliances?
No. Buying a refurbished household appliance in Saudi Arabia is a straightforward private purchase. There's no Absher, Muqeem, Qiwa, Najiz, Nafath, Balady or ministry step involved, and no government fee or validity period applies. The only paperwork worth having is your own receipt from the seller. (Government procedures do apply to bigger second-hand purchases like vehicles — but not to a fridge or a washing machine.)
FAQs
Where is the cheapest place to buy used appliances in Riyadh?
Local second-hand areas like Haraj Bin Qasim and private sellers on Haraj and OK.com tend to offer the lowest prices, especially if you buy in person and negotiate. Online bundles can also lower the per-item cost.
Are refurbished appliances in Riyadh covered by warranty?
It depends entirely on the seller. Private classifieds listings usually come with no warranty, while formal refurbished sellers (mainly for electronics) may offer a limited one. Always ask and get any warranty promise in writing.
Can I get a used fridge or washing machine delivered?
Sometimes, but it's not standard. Delivery and installation are extras you negotiate with the seller. For heavy items, confirm the fee and whether they'll bring it up to your floor before you agree to buy.
Is it safe to buy used appliances online in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, if you're careful. Inspect and test the item before paying, use the platform's messaging, keep a documented payment trail and get a written receipt. Meet in a public or safe location when possible.
Does Noon sell refurbished large appliances in Riyadh?
Noon's refurbished range focuses on electronics like TVs, laptops and phones. For large white goods such as refrigerators and washing machines, you'll have better luck on classifieds apps and in local markets.
How much should I pay for a used split AC in Riyadh?
Based on current listings, a used 1.5-ton split AC typically runs around SAR 1,100 to SAR 1,400 and is often negotiable, depending on brand, age and condition.
