Kensington is just the best

Kensington is just the best and we are very fortunate in Heathfield to have them. I contacted them in the morning and by the afternoon my new tumble dryer was installed and drying its first load. I wouldn’t bother with the web chat it’s not efficient and took an hour to establish if I could get same day delivery. I gave up with it and phoned to place the order which was much better. Delivery chap couldn’t have been more helpful, even moved the old machine into the garden for scrap collection.

Hi Ms Birss, Thank you for your review. I'm glad that we were able to source, deliver and install the tumble dryer on the same day as purchase for you. Thank you for your feedback regarding the web chat - i have investigated into this and can see 90% of the messages were answered within 60 seconds, however there was a period of time where our sales member was dealing with a customer in the store and there was a slight delay of 40 minutes for a reply. Apologies for the delay during this time. Kind regards, Kensington Appliances

Heathfield: Bosch washer

At Heathfield, I asked for advice for a reliable washing machine at a competitive price and Steve was very helpful. It arrived promptly and Scott and Mark gained a full 5* for delivery and set-up. They even replaced my t/d on top of new machine, ready for use again. Very impressed.

I spent over £500 on a new fridge…

I spent over £500 on a new fridge freezer and arranged delivery for a Thursday afternoon.

At 5.15pm I called the shop to ask about the delivery saying that it was, by that time, the end of the afternoon.

I received not one word of apology but found myself in a surreal conversation about what time the afternoon ended.

I believe I was cut off, because when I called back from the same number there was no answer; however, when I called from another number the same person picked up.

I was able to get out of him (eventually) that they were about 10 minutes away.

Why he couldn’t have just said sorry and told me that on the first call, I don’t know.

He was not personable or in any way apologetic, suggesting that I was the one being awkward. This time he told me that he was going to put the phone down on me and did.

The delivery team apologised straight away and, with my assistance, got the freezer in place.

We are panning to have a new fitted kitchen this year and will need a full range of appliances.

Whilst I try and support local businesses, I won’t be buying them from Kensington Appliances.

Highly Recommend

Fantastic local store. I recently purchased a tumble dryer from Kensington. The staff in the shop were extermely helpful. Delivery and installation was all done within 48 hours and was stress free.
Very good on pricing as well, i would highly recommend.

purchased a haden 50" cooker from them

purchased a haden 50" cooker from them. when they delivered cooker. there were some spare pieces in bottom oven. man inserted in to where he thought they belonged. cooker was like a toy land cooker. took forever to heat up and you had to put maximum for oven to heat and cook. a week later i heard a noise coming from the oven and found two screws and bracket lying on bottom of oven!
a week later i had familly round and i put a lasagna in oven, 20 mins in to cookinf time oven door blew open and big plume of smoke!! not impressed. so i called kensingtons and asked for someone to assess they took oven away. i went into shop and asked for some advise and help, shop manager didnt want to know, wouldnt give me any satisfaction on any other cooker, was extremely hostile so i asked for a refund. she was very curt and her manner was rude. beware if purchasing goods from there!

Reply from Kensington Appliances

Dear Ms. King, We are sorry that the appliance provided was faulty. We acted as quickly as we could to resolve the issue. We offered to attend to the appliance on the same day the fault was reported and this was declined. We attend at a time that was convenient for yourself to inspect the cooker and as per your instructions the appliance was removed from your property. You were invited back into the store to reselect an appliance as the existing model was no longer avaliable. Also, you decided to upgrade to a wider model. We offered an alternative Beko model which you declined. We therefore refunded the cost of the appliance for you in store. As a small local business, we don't feel that we have been unfair in this matter and therefore would like you to reconsider this 1 star review. Kind regards, Kensington Appliances.

Excellent and price competitive service

We required a range cooker which Steve from Kensington Appliances was very helpful in helping us choose and in coming up with a package that was much more competitive than the big online retailers. Will definitely go back to Kensington Appliances when we have future electrical goods requirements.

Needed a new upright tall built-in fridge. Bought from them as fairly local & price similar to Curry's etc. Fitting also requested due to location of the fridge making it complex. All done on time, well-fitted, nice people. No regrets on using them.

Avoid at all costs.

Avoid at all costs.
I bought a £2.500 Stove (oven) from Kensington over a year ago.
It was faulty from the start, so they passed the book to the supplier and I had 3 engineers to come out to it. When they finally listened and realised it wasn’t going to be fixed I decided on a refund. (Customer rights) This was back in November. It is February and I am now having to involve legal action. Disgusting!

Ordered a large American style fridge from Kensington. It was delivered on time and efficiently installed by a team of competent and cheerfull young men. The installation was tricky because of the narrowness of doors leading into the space, but they set to with a will and the job was done to my complete satisfaction.

Five Stars All Round

Needing a tumble drier in a fairly short time, and a reasonable price, I came across Kensington Appliances online, and remembered seeing them in Heathfield High Street.
On the principle of "use or lose" I decided to order from them through Euronics.
Delivery was prompt and courteous, and of course masked and socially distanced.
Five stars all round.

Dishwasher packed up last night

Dishwasher packed up last night. Popped to Kensingtons on the off chance they had one in stock this morning. Plenty of choice in stock and excellent advice on the varying products. Have used them before and will use them again. Fantastic service.

Once again excellent service received

Once again excellent service received. Washing machine delivered and installed during lockdown, delivery team provided a very Covid safe contactless service and everything was explained completely over the phone prior to arrival. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
