I’m extremely disappointed with the…

I’m extremely disappointed with the service I received when sending my Kane analyser away for calibration.

I was specifically told that the analyser would be returned by 13:30 the following day, and I relied on that guarantee when arranging my work. I dropped the analyser off on Friday, expecting it to be returned as promised. Unfortunately, it did not arrive back until Tuesday.

This caused me a significant problem as I had work booked in and was relying on having my analyser back on time. As a result, I lost work and income that I could otherwise have carried out.

If a next-day return service is guaranteed, customers should be able to rely on that commitment, particularly when the equipment is essential to carrying out their work.

I appreciate that delays can sometimes happen, but in this case I feel the service provided fell well below what I was promised. The delay had a direct financial impact on my business, and I would therefore give the service 1 star based on my experience.

Hi Neil

Thank you for your review and we're sorry that your analyser wasn't delivered when you expected it to be.

With our KANE CARE service, we promise a quick turnaround so you’re not without your analyser for too long - I'm sorry that hasn't been the case on this occasion.

I've taken a look and can see that we had completed the work and had the unit ready for dispatch as per our KANE CARE promise, however we had a failed collection from our courier which is why you didn't receive this as expected, so I do apologise it wasn’t delivered to you sooner.

I can see that our customer service team were in contact with you to get this resolved at the time and issued a full refund.

We truly value you as a KANE customer and remain committed to improving for your next service.

Any questions, please reach out to us by calling 0800 059 0800 or by emailing uksales@kane.co.uk

Best wishes

Good service but very expensive

I would have given a 5 star review for service as the communication and speed of return was excellent.

However the cost of the service each year is now not far of 50% of the cost of a new machine which is ridiculous.

Good communication

Good communication, easy to post item and receive back. Just a shame about cost/frequency of recalibration considering item not used that frequently.

So took 3 days to return losing to days work and it returned on a Saturday on my birthday so had to stay in until 1pm before I could do anything

horrible nasty company,

horrible nasty company,. lies.. deception..
im actively working against your company now.. telling everyone I can to never buy from you..
ill never buy anything from you again for life

in response to your poor reply below!!!.
that states "lifetime warranty on your equipment!!!!
I sent back a personal co alarm that was "faulty" the battery compartment cover would not hold the battery in place. I included a letter detailing this.

I returned the gas leak detector. that was also faulty.. detailing that new batteries would show dead after less than 2 min operation. that it would drain batteries when not in use and that the was also a battery compartment cover issue.

you demanded a large some of money on top of what I had already been paid..
the equipment was mis-sold to me at installer show by your staff. it was at the show at point of sale where I was told to return all equipment at each calibration, and I also discussed it this year with the staff and explained the faults where I was also advised to send them in..
you refused to fix under warranty and instead wanted allot of money double what I had already paid to look at them, and held onto the equipment.. and still had it at the point of me writing my TRUE AND ACCURATE review. you have since returned the equipment but refused to repair it neither under "lifetime warranty" nor under the calibration agreement..
and based on your blocking of other companies calibrating or repairing your equipment WHICH SHOULD BE ILLGAL AND TRADING STANDARD SHOULD INVESTIGATE YOU.. I now cannot have my equipment fixed nor use it.
you have forced me into a situation where I either loose £100s and buy new equipment elsewhere.. or pay you £100s to have "lifetime warranty" parts fixed.
that makes you a con company. and should always be avoided.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO ANY GAS ENGINEER LOOKING FOR THIER FIRST OR A NEW ANALYSER, OR ANY EQUIPMENT TO AVOID KANE.. PICK ANY OTHER COMPANY AND CALIBRATE LOCALLY WITH A COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST.

Hi Dan

It looks like you have already left us your comments under a different Trustpilot account on 25/08/26. I will leave our response below as before:

'Thanks for your review – we’re sorry to hear you feel you’ve had an unpleasant experience.

Having reviewed the details, I can see that our team advised you of the calibration costs associated with the additional equipment you sent to us. While KANE CARE covers your analyser and its accessories - such as the bag, printer, probe and charger - gas leak detectors and personal CO alarms are standalone pieces of equipment and therefore require separate servicing and calibration that is chargeable.

We would also like to clarify that we have not withheld or stolen your equipment. We understand how concerning it can be when there is a misunderstanding about what has been booked or the costs involved, and we’re sorry if our communication has contributed to your frustration. Prices are always displayed up front if booked in via kane.co.uk or a quote is sent before any works are commenced. You are not obligated to pay if you don’t wish to proceed with any work and we will be more than happy to return your equipment if requested by yourself.

Only KANE is authorised to calibrate KANE analysers in accordance with our required calibration standards. This ensures that our analysers are calibrated correctly and enables us to provide the LIFETIME WARRANTY associated with our products.

We hope this helps clarify any confusion and address some of the concerns raised in your review. We’re keen to resolve the matter with you directly and can arrange either payment for the additional work or the return of your equipment, depending on your preference.'

Kind regards

Brad
