Kitchen warranty by brand in the Netherlands (2026)

Warranty terms that brands publish

The table below has one row for every published warranty datapoint in the dataset: twelve brand and component terms, plus two rows for the legal baseline. The Dutch originals were translated faithfully into English; for example, the Dutch phrase for 10 years on doors and cabinet elements appears here as 10 years on doors and cabinet elements. The Source column links to the page where the brand or authority states the figure. Each datapoint also holds a verbatim quote from that page, which you can read in the Dutch dataset.

Read the Applies to column before you compare years. A brand that gives 35 years on hinges and drawer runners is not giving 35 years on the whole kitchen, and a brand that gives 10 years on cabinets is not necessarily giving 10 years on worktops or appliances. Kvik is the clearest example: the same page gives 10 years on doors and cabinet elements, 5 years on worktops and 35 years on hinges and drawer runners. IKEA likewise separates its METOD system (25 years), its ENHET system (10 years), appliances (5 years) and installation through its installation service (5 years).

Brands that publish no warranty term

Several large brands appear on the Dutch index as not published. That is a statement about what the brand says on its own website, not about what you will get in your contract. In the cases below the manufacturer points to the dealer, the sales partner or the individual agreement, which means the warranty you actually receive is set in your purchase agreement.

A figure that exists only on a third-party page, such as a sales partner or distributor, is deliberately not counted as a brand term. That is why Leicht and bulthaup are listed here even though a number can be found elsewhere: the index only publishes what a brand states itself.

Not published means: no warranty term in years found on the brand's own pages as of 9 October 2026. Brands without any warranty datapoint are shown as not published on the Dutch index.

What the legal baseline means for a buyer

The Dutch government states plainly that there is no statutory warranty term in the Netherlands. What the law gives a consumer is a right to a product that conforms to the agreement, and the dataset records how long that right lasts in practice: it depends on how long you may expect the product to last. A kitchen cabinet that is expected to last for decades supports a longer expectation than a small appliance, and nothing turns that expectation into a fixed number of years.

This is why a published warranty term is useful but not decisive. A brand warranty is a voluntary promise on top of the legal baseline, with its own scope, its own exclusions and its own claim procedure. A 25-year figure on a cabinet system tells you how long the maker is willing to stand behind that system, not that every part of your kitchen is covered for that long.

The CBW-recognised terms for furniture retailers add a second baseline. Article 15 of those terms, titled conformity and warranty, says the business gives 2 years of full warranty on delivered products on top of its statutory obligations, and that parties may agree a longer period in writing. This applies only if the seller is a CBW-recognised business, so it is worth asking before you sign.

What to check in the purchase agreement

Because several manufacturers refer you to the dealer, the purchase agreement is where your real warranty is written down. Use the list below when you compare quotes.

• Who gives the warranty: the manufacturer, the seller, or both, and whom you contact to make a claim.
• What is covered: cabinets, doors, worktops, hinges and drawer runners, appliances and installation often carry different terms.
• How long each part is covered, written as a number of years per part, not as a general promise.
• Whether the CBW-recognised terms apply, and whether a longer period than 2 years has been agreed in writing.
• Which exclusions apply, for example outlet items or items that fall under a supplier's own warranty terms, as Bruynzeel states for worktops, appliances and accessories.
• Whether the term you were told matches the term in the contract, since a figure on a brand website is not automatically part of your agreement.

How to use the index and cite it

The full Dutch dataset is at /keuken-garantie-index and the same data is available as JSON at /keuken-garantie-index.json. Each datapoint has a brand, a subject, the term as published, a source URL, a verbatim quote from the source and the date the page was read. The companion register of where each brand comes from, who owns it and where it is built is at /keukenmerken-register, with the data at /keukenmerken-register.json; the English summary is Kitchen brands sold in the Netherlands: origin, factory, owner.

Open data, CC BY 4.0 — cite as Keuken in Beeld, Keuken-garantie-index Nederland 2026. This page contains no prices and no quality ranking: a longer published term says what a brand promises, not how good the kitchen is.
