MediaMarkt.de review

Entry prices are the easiest way to compare. The median is €86.82, the lower quartile €33.92 and the upper quartile €201.87. The cheapest listing sits at €5.25 and the priciest at €8,768.75, so the ceiling belongs to high-end kit rather than everyday buys.

Price matching is a coin flip here. It applies to 54.5% of the range and to 45.5% of the rest. Check the specific product page before buying rather than assuming a match covers the whole catalogue.

Cover is stated in months. The median listing carries 12 months and the upper quartile 12, so longer terms sit mostly on pricier gear. Extended warranty is offered on 86.2% of the range as an add-on at the till.

Computers and audio are the deepest shelves at 63.5% and 65.9% of the range, with gaming close behind at 58.8%. Refurbished stock fills 49.4%, while TV, cameras and appliances sit at 36.5% each, so expect less choice in those aisles.

Yes, across most of the site. Click and collect is offered on 65.2% of the range, which suits anyone who wants a laptop or phone in hand the same day instead of waiting for a delivery window. Order ahead, then pick up locally.

Trade-in is one of the stronger features, appearing on 96.8% of the range. That makes it practical for anyone upgrading a phone or laptop, since the old device can offset part of the cost of the new one instead of being sold separately.

Support runs through a help centre on 96.7% of the site, with email on 78.9%. Phone covers 53.9% and community boards 42.8%, while live chat is the thinnest channel at 34.9%.

A student discount is listed across 100% of the site, so it covers the catalogue rather than a narrow slice. Budget laptops, audio and appliances can all be picked up at the reduced figure, normally with proof of student status at purchase.

Refurbished items are graded, and 77.8% of graded listings sit at the good mark, with 72.2% at the top grade. Bargains also exist at 38.9%, so condition and price trade off directly against each other.
