Why are dumbwaiters so expensive?

Question

Accepted Answer

Dumbwaiters are costly based on a variety of factors. The size and model of the dumbwaiter play a great role in its cost; large and motorized dumbwaiters are more costly compared to smaller manual ones. Labor costs involved in installation also add to the total cost since more complicated installations involve expert technicians and possibly lots of electrical work. The dumbwaiter material, including tracks, shafts, and doors, contributes to the cost. Good materials are more expensive but provide durability and safety. Moreover, special features such as automation and sophisticated safety features can dramatically raise the price. Permits and inspections, depending on regulations in the area, can be added to the cost. The pricing also reflects weight capacity and the coverage of floors.  Larger size and greater capacity of heavy-duty commercial dumbwaiters make them often more expensive than those used in homes.  Generally speaking, dumbwaiters can be somewhat expensive at first but, with their ease and efficiency, they pay off over time.
