The Appliance Depot Arvostelua 

I bought a refurbished Smeg range cooker 02/12/24 delivered to Kent 10/12. They only deliver to Kent once a week and have a 1 man/van crew. You get an email the day before telling you you'll need to help with the delivery!! I've met 2 of the drivers who are very nice guys and didn't ask me to help but it's very challenging for 1 person to deliver a large machine and may lead to damage. The cooker stopped working on 24/12 (yep!!!). It was under warrantee, the process was all quite smooth but of course no one was available to come out. A very nice Smeg engineer talked me through the problem over the phone and gave me a 'work around' (opening the oven door everso slightly) we limped through Christmas. It was a problem with the door closer (reading the reviews - it sounds like I may have got the machine that someone else returned!!) The Smeg guy said it's a known problem and should have been fixed before it got to me. AD left me to it so I chased up Smeg for an update after Xmas - they weren't able to tell me if/when a part would be delivered. When I rang AD they made out I'd done something wrong by talking to the Smeg guy (who really saved my life). I was pretty worried I'd got a duff cooker so I looked on-line to find out my position - it turns out I could just return it like it's a new product (relief). It also turns out the AD should make this clear (i.e. it's the LAW that they should make it clear) so they should have told me this when I first rang them and display it clearly on their website - do you know it's about as well hidden as it could be! I rang back to ask for a refund, which they agreed to but the woman I spoke to was rude and acted like she was doing me a favour. I reported this poor service and have never got a response. I then had to limp through NYE (all the time the work around getting less effective). By this time the next Tuesday delivery/collection slot was booked and the next week they were delivering on a Monday not a Tuesday (!) and I wasn't available. They booked me in the the next week, didn't confirm it, I rang to confirm and was told I'd be the first appointment, when no one had arrived by mid-morning I had the phone number of the driver from the original delivery and he told me he'd broken down and had only just left - so he'd got up at the crack of dawn and still had to diver to Kent and back - sounds unsafe to me! I couldn't wait any longer cancelled the collection. By this time it's been about 4 weeks since I originally reported the oven as faulty - they should (i.e. the LAW says) refund me within 14 days, which is clearly so you don't have to deal with nonsense like this, which they wouldn't do. I'd paid £60 for an electrician to connect and then disconnect the faulty oven which of course they wouldn't refund, even though I had to pay that again for a new oven. I bought another oven so I had a great big oven I my house, in the way! I waited in 3 times to sort this out - obviously no compensation for my time. Any I had to deal with a rude person. There's just too much to go wrong, it goes wrong with this company and they clearly don't care.

Purchased a Smeg range cooker (Nov 2023) that was graded due to 'no packaging'. When it arrived it also had a number of scratches. More importantly it failed within a few months (microswitch on door). Smeg engineers attended and fixed. A few months later it failed again (same reason) and Smeg engineers highlighted that in fact the doors were misaligned and the frame was bent. 
It was returned twice to Appliance Depot to be repaired. The first time they did nothing except keep it for a week and it had the same fault when it was returned. At this point Steve (manager?) was very aggressive on the phone.
After the second time it was returned to them it worked for a couple more months but then failed again (same fault). This was Dec 2024 and by now it's out of warranty and they don't want to know.

I would never deal with this company again.

After seeing my review, they called me immediately and told me they won’t repair the product and just give me my money back. They also blamed me for the damage now. The team lacks integrity and professionalism. No wonder why so many businesses don’t succeed anymore.

The delivery man was polite & very efficient excellent service

Brilliant company to deal with, got a call morning after ordering to arrange delivery. They give a 30 min heads up but managed to give me an hour.
Got updates from driver Ben as to his whereabouts. Fantastic service from Ben who safely got my fridge into position.

I bought a Freezer from this company about a year ago.
The first thing that went wrong was; a note on the machine saying some thing was wrong, didn't say what ?
Contacted The Appliance Depot, they said that I should contact their warranty company. Which I did, they came & fiddled about, & somehow removed the notice. But didn't know how they did it ? They suggested that the temperature was set too high. It was set to - 24, [as received by Appliance Depot]. They reset it to - 18.
At minus - 18 the contents were almost melting, the top of the freezer was just about OK, the bottom of the freezer was less than freezing.
I reported back to Appliance Depot, they said it wasn't their problem, & to get back to the warranty people, also to contact NordMende in Ireland the supplier to Appliance Depot.
I got the warranty company in again, & again twice. I had to put down the temperature to - 24. At this temperature it was freezing at top, but at the bottom.
We put some bread at the bottom, it was mildew after 2 weeks.
The warranty company, said that it may need a flush & refill of the liquid that does the freezing ? This never happened. They also said that they had sent a message to NordeMande to refund our money.
I contacted Appliance Depot again to let them know about this.
Their comment [ as usual ] we haven't heard from them, we can't do anything until we do, you will have to go back to them.
I contacted NordeMende, they pushed me back to the warranty company, & the warranty co. have now ignored me.
I am now stuck with a freezer, where only half is used.
I am considering taking The Appliance Depot to the small claims court, [ I have taken a company to the small claims court before, & won, but never got my money. ]
So I really do not know what to do.
But if anybody is thinking to buy from The Appliance Depot, think twice !!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Dreadful customer service. Their driver arrived at my property at 5:35am and caused significant damage to my property in his vehicle, which I witnessed and took photographic evidence of immediately. I spoke to their team, who were at first very helpful, but when it came to rectifying the issue, they refused. Their driver Ben denied all knowledge and would not accept responsibility and their manager Steve has refused to accept responsibility despite the overwhelming evidence. Having been a regular customer, I will not be shopping here again and have shared this very poor experience with others.

Bought a used dryer. Used it 3 or 4 times and already leaking out of the bottom.

Called up for help and they aren't willing to do anything. Sales assistant was rude.

Had a range cooker delivered on 20 th Dec,can’t remember the delivery man’s name but he was excellent . So helpful and cheerful even though he had driven from Leicester to Swansea .He is an asset to your company . Cooker was as described and very well packed and protected . Would recommend this company

Not great. Bought a very expensive Smeg cooker which went wrong within a few months. They fixed it but it has had the same problem again and now it's just over a year old so no warranty. Had to phone them 20 times to finally get to the point where they suggested I call Smeg direct but because it's a "graded" appliance Smeg won't touch it.
DO NOT BUY GRADED APPLIANCES FROM THIS COMPANY.

Don’t use them if i could I wouldn’t even give them 1 star, they had us chasing around all over the place trying to sort out the faulty appliance, we bought a Bosch washer dryer from them it was faulty, Bosch offered to send them a voucher to replace it but they was not interested, don’t know why but obviously the customer doesn’t matter, the site looks great but don’t trust them buy elsewhere.
