Appliance searches in the UAE lean on Arabic product names, and ثلاجة alone draws more searches than any English term in the table. Bids stay low on most rows, with coffee machines and dishwashers the main exceptions.

What drives the cost
The bids in this table are from Google Search. Shopping has its own separate auction, and Keyword Planner does not publish Shopping bids, so read these as a picture of Search demand. In Search, the Arabic rows add up to 4,900 of the 8,940 monthly searches across all rows. ثلاجة has 3,600 searches at AED 0.51 to 2.96. Price searches draw low bids: 'washing machine price uae' has 1,900 searches at AED 0.18 to 3.8, since many of those people are still comparing models. Large chains sell the same models at similar prices, which keeps margins thin. Coffee machines start higher at AED 1.49 to 5.33, as buyers spend more and often return for pods and beans.
Keeping repair searches out of appliance spend
Appliance searches mix buyers with owners whose machine just broke, and repair searches can drain spend quickly. Set negatives before launch: repair, service, fix, spare parts and technician in English, and تصليح, صيانة and قطع غيار in Arabic, all as phrase match. Run Standard Shopping first so the search terms report shows what still slips through.
Start with fridges and washers, where the Arabic volume sits, in their own product group, and keep countertop items such as air fryers and coffee machines apart. 'dishwasher uae' has 110 searches but a top end of AED 6.27, so give dishwashers their own bid. Price searches suit Shopping, since the ad shows the price upfront. Titles should lead with brand, type, capacity and finish. Send the GTIN for every branded model, keep prices and stock in step with the site, and use clean front shots. غسالة, with 1,300 searches at AED 0.48 to 2.12, needs Arabic titles of its own. Move to Performance Max after orders are steady, and raise bids around White Friday.
What the product page needs
Appliance buyers check whether the unit fits the kitchen or laundry space. List exact dimensions, capacity, energy label, plug type and noise level. State whether delivery includes installation and removal of the old unit, how long delivery takes, and who handles the warranty in the UAE. Instalment options matter on large items, so show them near the price.
Appliances and electronics share shoppers and retailers, so compare this table with the electronics keyword bids. For a sense of how these bids sit against service trades, see click costs in other Dubai sectors. Set up the repair negatives before any campaign goes live.
