Excellent service. I needed a fridge freezer for the garage so I looked here because I wasn’t too worried about dents and scrapes. I watched the stock options over a 3 week period and eventually order... See more

Written by the company

Heavily discounted, new electricals from big brands. Yep. We know it sounds too good to be true, so let us explain. When ao.com is making room for new appliances, they send end of line stock to us at ElekDirect to sell at low prices. They just want the space. Really. That’s it. And if a little bump or scrape doesn’t bother you, check out our clearance section. This is where you’ll find electricals that are all in perfect working order, but with some cosmetic damage.

Brilliant experience

Brilliant experience.

I bought a Dashcam which I thought was faulty but turned out it was two dodgy micro SD cards.

I arranged with Dale to collect twice which I had to cancel. It was no bother to them.

Brilliant service

A great price

I am pleased to commend this company for its exceptional professionalism, particularly in its sales and delivery services. The pricing was highly competitive, offering a £250 saving compared to larger corporations and a £200 saving versus online retailers for a Bosch fridge freezer, which also included a five-year guarantee. My sincere appreciation for your excellent service.

Great delivery service and the TV is fantastic. I saved over £100 by using this company. I strongly recommend checking out the website when purchasing a TV. I will definitely be shopping with ElekDirect again.

Genuinely good service

The sales and service advisor (Dale) restored my confidence in buying things online. Dale accepted that I had made a genuine mistake and arranged for the item to be returned and a refund issued.
I can honestly recommend AO as a good company to do business with and will always go to them first when I need anything.

Small print in delivery

Tried ordering a couple of times. Get all the way through, and then the system hangs.

Rang up to be told that I'm outside the delivery area - not quite sure how Aberdeen is considered to be remote - but it would be good if there system said no when putting the postcode in.

That's 3 days wasted trying to order something from the site.

Excellent price and service

Just bought a new Samsung fridge from Elekdirect and couldnt be more pleased with the service. Item was discounted due to a couple of small dents so got a great price. Delivery cost up to Scotland was very reasonable and the delivery guys were really good. Fridge is excellent and exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely use them again.

Great customer service and prices

My Hisense American fridge freezer arrived in superb condition and with the imperfections either barely visible, or not visible at all. Cancelled my first order, completely my fault for not reading the description properly. The money was back in my bank account almost before I put the phone down. (OK, that is a bit of an exageration!!!). My second purchase I read the description properly, and didn't cancel. I am blown away by the savings and amazing customer service. 'THANK YOU', ElekDirect.

great service thanks!

Customer service was really responsive to my questions. I had bought a dishwasher with another refurb company and had really bad service and had to return it. Elekdirect were fast, delivery guys great and they sorted a return and refund quickly until I found the right dishwasher. Really happy with service and would def recommend

2 Faulty washing machines

I ordered a washing machine from AO Outlet via eBay. Ordering and delivery were smooth, but everything went wrong when my engineer came to install it.

The first machine arrived with the door hanging off – one screw missing and another stripped. I arranged a replacement, which was collected and swapped without much trouble.

The replacement had several dents in the side, but as it would be hidden I accepted it. Unfortunately, when my engineer ran the first spin cycle it started banging loudly and wouldn’t reach speed. On inspection, he found a faulty drum stabilisation rod and showed me where the drum had been hitting the side. The dents were already there when it arrived, so AO had clearly sent another faulty machine.

I’m now £175 out of pocket for the engineer’s time (he actually reduced his fee because he felt sorry for the situation). AO Outlet has only offered to send yet another replacement, but I’m not willing to risk installing another faulty machine.

In hindsight, I should have just bought a new machine instead.

Very Pleased with Purchase

Bought a Beko washing machine for my daughter's new house. Price was significantly lower than elsewhere because of slight scratches to casing. These were hardly visible and don't show at all now the machine is installed.
Prompt and friendly delivery with efficient tracking system. Highly recommended.
