My favourite household appliance

Advantages: lots of features, easy to use, A+ energy class
Disadvantages: price

.... When we bought it they delivered the next day free of charge and installed it as well. Well, the machine's price covers the installment's and delivery's cost... The mechanic said, we won't meet again, because by the time the first repair will be due he will be retired. Let's hope he was right. :) Anyway, there is 5 year warranty on it. Highly recommended....

Review of Miele WT 2670

Review of Boots Kitchen Appliances

Advantages: Good communication, delivered on time as promised, prices pretty good
Disadvantages: Not free delivery. Delivery company didn't all they were supposed to.

...Really pleased with the whole process. This company wasn't the cheapest on price, partly because they don't do free delivery like some other companies (delivery cost £19.99), but they had the best reviews from other customers - much better than the companies selling it for cheaper. As you can tell from the company name, they sell kitchen appliances including dishwashers, cookers, hobs, fridges, freezers, coffee machines, washing machines and tumble dryers. We ordered a Neff Hob from them late in the evening on 8 November. The website confirmed delivery would normally be in 7 days. The confirmation email stated that someone would contact me within 48 hours to confirm the order and to arrange a suitable delivery date. Sure enough, the next day I had a phone call confirming the order and arranging a delivery date for one week...

Johnsons household flea spray

Advantages: really does work
Disadvantages: expensive for the size of can

...I have 2 house cats and 1 crept out in the night and stayed out and unfortunately came back with these horrible little creatures (fleas) We had fleas before and they wasnt difficult to get rid off. Unfortuantely these ones wasnt shifting, i tried flea repelleant shampoo, spray you leave in floor for 30 minutes, flea collar etc i tried the lot that was cheap but unfortuantely turned out to be expensive. We went to Pets at Home and i found Johnsons Household Flea Spray, as i hadnt tried this before i though i would give it ago. I sprayed this on and around the skirting board as thats where the fleas go often and left the room with the windows open for 30 minutes as you CANNOT breath this in, (Specially children and animals). It was quite easy to do as long as you dont mind being shut outdoors for a while and making sure you start from...

Avoid Sainsbury's Kitchen Appliances

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Contemptuous attitude toward the customer and consumer protection laws

...Please do not order anything from Sainsbury's Kitchen Appliances. We ordered a Zanussi washing machine and are now stuck with this faulty unusable machine, even though we paid extra for fitting and testing. When the machine runs it fills our apartment with the acrid smell of burning rubber. We reported this within 24 hours of our having received delivery of the machine yet Sainsburys will not replace it without first sending out an engineer (the earliest time the engineer will get to us is a full seven days after we reported the fault) who then will submit a report to them (Sainsburys), who will then contact Zanussi. It could easily be 3 weeks or more before we have a working machine. Surely, if a machine is reported as faulty within 24 hours of delivery, it should simply be replaced. Yes. That's the law, but Sainsburys don't see...

Advantages: Offers interaction with a familiar story
Disadvantages: None

...Look out he?s behind you! is a book I took out of the library a few weeks ago for my grandchildren to read while visiting me for the day. They thoroughly enjoyed it inspite of there agea of 2 and 3 years which has led ne to write this review.

The story starts by introducing the different characters in the book , Little Red Riding...

Review of Look Out, He's Behind You! - Tony Bradman

He's Just Not That Into You - Or Is He?

Advantages: Quirky comedy romance that is also thought-provoking.
Disadvantages: None

...him to leave, which Neil does, but he's still into Beth, and she's still into him, but marriage isn't on the horizon so they'll remain into each other separately! As for Alex, he makes a point of never being into anyone because he just can't handle it, and Mary... well... Mary would love to be into someone who doesn't think that voicemail and texting are equivalent to actual talking. Confused? Don't be... Gigi, Beth and Janine are close friends who work for the same company. Gigi, who is extremely sweet and naïve, would love to find Mr. Right, but she might settle for Mr. So-So if he actually returns her calls. Beth, on the other hand, has already found Mr. Right, however, her long-time beau, Neil, doesn't believe in marriage. As for Janine, she managed to hogtie her college sweetheart by giving him an ultimatum; marriage or bust...

Review of He's Just Not That Into You (DVD)

Trade Appliances - Absolutely fine

Advantages: Price, choice and delivery slots/schedule
Disadvantages: possbly longer till delivery than others but they don't hide the fact

...To be fair, i'd read the poor reviews of Trade Appliances prior to finally committing to placing my order. I was rather worried but after sitting back and thinking about it, i remembered that logically speaking, people rarely leave good reviews - on the whole. Look up reviews for any high street retailer - most of them are crap - at least 50% and if those figures were really a fair indication of what to expect - they'd all be bust. We ordered 6 appliances of Trade Kitchens - paid online - no problems. Got an email asking for a utility bill for our name and address - not a problem - we were expecting it as their website says to if like us, you want delivery to an address different to your billing address. We paid on a Sunday - after 9 working days had elsapsed we got a phone call asking if they could deliver all appliances two...

Review of Trade Appliances

Cooker. Do not buy anything form Boots Kitchen Appliances

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: A joke

...Under no circumstances buy anything from Boots Kitchen Appliances. I bought a cooker online and was to have it delivered on a Saturday. They informed me of a 4 hour delivery slot on the previous day. It was to be delivered between 7am and 11am. I was called on 7am to inform me they were on their way. They arrived at 8am and got me out of bed. Then informed me they had a dishwasher instead of a cooker. I ask you!!! We arranged another Saturday and was informed two days before that they could not deliver. Arranged another Saturday and they did not turn up. Was not called with any explanation. On each occasion I had to compensate an electrician who I had retained to install it. I am now six weeks without a cooker and it is still ongoing. DO NOT BUY FROM BOOTS KITCHEN APPLIANCES....

Review of Boots Kitchen Appliances

Don't buy domestic appliances from Boots

Advantages: Seemingly fair price
Disadvantages: Endless frustration and rotten customer service

...Never try to buy a domestic appliance from Boots on-line. They twice failed to provide the item ordered and offered compensation which never came. All told terrible service and hopeless customer relations. At the beginning of January I placed an order for a fridge freezer, A few days later I was phoned to say the item had been discontinued. On further checking I was told that this was not the case, but that I would have to wait three weeks for delivery. I waited; the evening before delivery was scheduled I was left a message on my mobile (not even the courtesy of a phone call to my home phone) to say the product was discontinued. Eventually I agreed to a similar (more expensive) product and Boots said they would give me a discount to compensate me. Despite regular chasing and promises this has never arrived. Boots also failed to...

Awful Appliance Direct

Advantages: None. Worst retailer I have had misfortune to deal with!!!
Disadvantages: Dreadful customer service, no delivery, they take your cash and give you the runaround.

...Appliance Direct promise cheap prices and a great delivery team who deliver your item straight to your door within a four hour time window and then unpack it and place it in your home. Sounds great. Some chance! My experience with them was pure hell. They promised to deliver my washing machine on a Friday between 10am and 2pm and connect it for an extra £19.99 and when by almost 3pm they hadn't delivered I contacted them only to be given the runaround. Numerous excuses were given and I was told they'd phone me back three times and each time I had to contact them. I was promised that it would be sorted on Monday, but again I had to do the chasing. Customer Service have a problem calling people back. It turned out they had handed my washing machine (Cost £314) to one cowboy courier who had handed it on to another and it was...
