Appliance donation values

Most appliance types are on one list or two. The coffee maker is the only type on this page that three of the copied guides all price. The Salvation Army national list, undated, retrieved 2026-11-12, prints $4–$16⁶. Goodwill Industries International, dated January 12, 2011, prints $4–$15⁵. The list published at ccmaine.org on July 19, 2012 prints $5–$20⁴. The highs sit close. That is the opposite of the furniture page, where a dresser spreads out. Close is still three separate spans. They are not averaged.

The wide gaps are the two-list rows, and the labels do not always name the same machine. The list published at tchabitat.org on January 2, 2019 has a row labeled stove, stored on the gas stove type: $50–$250¹². The Salvation Army list splits fuel. Gas is $52–$130¹³. Electric is its own row, $78–$156¹⁰. That stove row was not reprinted as a second electric price. A refrigerator is $50–$350¹ on the tchabitat.org list and $78–$259² on the Salvation Army list, whose label says working. A dryer is $47–$93⁹ and $50–$150⁸. A microwave is Salvation Army only, $10–$50¹⁷. A dishwasher is tchabitat.org only, $25–$75⁷.

Condition is whether it runs, and whether the parts that make it run are still there. A coffee maker missing the carafe is a different gift from a complete one. The guides do not print a "for parts" row. Publication 561 says You cannot take an income tax charitable contribution deduction for household items unless they are in good used condition or better.²⁵ The paragraph under the table is that rule. Brand is not a column. A maker's name on the front does not change the cell. Age is not a column. A ten-year-old refrigerator and one that is a few years old share the type, and the lists do not say which end of the span is the newer machine.

Goodwill Northern New England is dated February 3, 2025. Its rows are not on this page. Reproduction of material on that site needs prior permission. The one cited sentence is the unlisted rule, 30%²⁶ of a price you type, and only for an item that is not an item type. A microwave, listed by one guide, stays not listed on the others. The percent does not fill those cells.

Donate with the calculator. Each charity stays on its own line. Taking a stove to a particular door is your decision. The ranges are not a promise that a store will accept a built-in appliance or haul it. Selling is not priced here. Nothing on this page is money that changed hands. surplus auction prices is government surplus, a different channel, and the route stays off until a matched set qualifies.

IRS rules for donated household items quotes the thresholds. donation value guides compared is the comparison. methodology says how a number is allowed onto a page. sources has the terms note. Related hubs are Furniture, Kitchen and housewares and Electronics and computers.
