Free return of old
electrical appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical
appliance of the same type with
essentially the same function,
consumers may return an old
electrical appliance to a distributor
obliged to take back old applianc-
es, at no extra cost for the con-
sumers. This option also exists
for deliveries made to a private
household. For distance selling,
the option of having old electrical
equipment collected for free ap-
plies only in the case of purchase
of new electrical equipment with
heat exchangers (e.g. refrigera-
tors, dehumidifiers), screens and
display devices with a screen sur-
face > 100 cm², and large devic-
es with at least one of its external
dimensions measuring more than
50 cm.
In addition, consumers may return
up to three old electrical applianc-
es of the same type to a distrib-
utor's collection point for free,
without having to purchase a new
electrical appliance. In this case,
however, the old appliances' ex-
ternal dimensions may not exceed
25 cm.
