 AI reviews summary 

Appliances Online maintains a highly positive reputation for its efficient sales and delivery model, with many customers highlighting the speed of next-day delivery even in regional areas. While the pre-purchase and delivery experiences are frequently described as seamless, a significant divide exists regarding after-sales support. For most, the service is exemplary, but when products arrive faulty or require warranty claims, some users encounter substantial delays, poor communication, and difficulty obtaining refunds or replacements.

Pros
Efficient Delivery and Removal: Delivery is consistently fast—often next-day—and includes the highly valued free removal of old appliances and packaging.
Professional Delivery Teams: The onsite staff are frequently praised for being courteous, careful with property, and capable of handling difficult installations or heavy items.
Competitive Pricing and Matching: Prices are generally lower than brick-and-mortar retailers, and the price-matching process via online chat is described as easy and effective.
User-Friendly Online Experience: The website and real-time delivery tracking provide a high level of transparency and convenience for the majority of shoppers.
Cons
Arduous Warranty and Fault Resolution: When an appliance is faulty on arrival or breaks under warranty, the process often becomes slow and frustrating, with users feeling "palmed off" to manufacturers.
Communication Breakdowns in Support: Recurring complaints highlight ignored emails, unreturned phone calls from managers, and conflicting information regarding stock availability or refund status.
Installation and Technical Errors: Occasional reports of incorrect installations causing property damage (e.g., leaks) and disputes over additional carpentry or electrical charges.
Strict Return and Restocking Policies: Users have flagged high restocking fees (up to 20%) and a lack of flexibility regarding price drops or promotions occurring shortly after a purchase.
Verdict

Appliances Online is an excellent choice for consumers seeking competitive prices and industry-leading delivery and removal services. However, potential buyers should be aware that their "Legendary Service" can falter significantly if the product is faulty, as the after-sales and warranty resolution process is a recurring point of failure.

The purchase experience started well with a great price. The inclusive delivery was an unexpected bonus. The delivery timeframe was super impressive, especially since the order was placed midday Saturday - delivered Tuesday to regional NSW! The delivery process was on-time and professional - friendly guys. The entire experience was super impressive - happy to recommend!

Everyone was so nice. When the oven didn't fit, I sort of expected that, but it was Tristan to the rescue. He said "it happens all the time", which was good because it meant you'd have a fix for it. Tristan also had the idea of an alternate oven that he knew would fit and could be installed same day. Credit where credit is due, he thinks on his… Read more

feet and knows your inventory. The actual process of getting a carpenter engaged by you was a bit shaky I felt, but everything worked out well in the end. I'm glad I stayed with the Westinghouse oven. Fantastic unit - the user interface is very easy to set, and it heats up super-quick.

Really happy with the overall experience. We got a great price on our dual oven and although we paid full price for the cooktop we wanted it was all delivered the next day (less then 24 hours later) We were very impressed with this since all our local appliance stores were out of stock til mid August. We had our electrian install it that day as he… Read more

Great value for money, with the price including both delivery and installation. I ordered at 10 pm the night before, and the service was incredibly fast. My first impression of the product is that it’s very easy to use and performs impressively. Overall, I’m extremely happy with both the product and the excellent service provided by Appliances Online and their delivery team.

I have been ordering via Appliances Online over the last 5 years for all my home and investment appliance needs. The best parts were the amazing deals and offers at unbeatable low prices I couldn't find anywhere else. Great next-day delivery to regional NSW by an excellent customer-friendly delivery team. Highly recommended!

Excellent service from Appliances Online. Purchasing our new Bosch front loader was easy and hassle-free. The delivery team arrived on time, were friendly, professional and very helpful. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely use Appliances Online again and highly recommend them to others.

Communication on the purchase and delivery was great, received a text the day before with the delivery window time, then again 30mins out from delivery, the guys unboxed the washing machine, assessed access to the apartment, installed and tested the washing machine and were all done. They did ask if I needed the old washing machine removed but I declined. Fast professional and efficient.

how much cheaper they were compared to any other store in Australia. Thanks to their price match guarantee, I ended up saving a significant amount on both appliances.

The delivery service was absolutely top-notch. The team not only delivered my items to the first floor but did so incredibly quickly and with such professionalism. I was honestly blown away by how fast and efficient everything was.

I would love to give them 10 stars and definitely will highly recommend them to everyone. They completely changed my mind about traditional stores like Harvey Norman, jb Hifi and ........ I’m done with the old way of shopping – Appliances Online is now my go-to!

A BIG THANKS again!!!!!

Shocking service. Paid for same day delivery. Didn't show up. Didn't call. Finally called them at 5pm to fi d they'd forgotten to pit it on the truck for delivery. Promised delivery the next day, only to have them fail to turn up again. Tried to… Read more

call but then the lies start. Saying they attempted delivery. I'll never understand why customer service agents feel compelled to lie. Either way, I end up with lost wages one day, ruined weekend the next day, and guests sleeping on the floor. Useless. Utterly... useless.

 Follow-up  · No offer of compensation. Refund returned 10 days later. Went to Temple and Webster. Cheaper, better quality and overnight delivery.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND- unsatisfactory and awful experience. First time ordering a large item online and due to prositive reviews was confident. I ordered a husky bar fridge as a surprise gift for my husband on 9 April & advised delivery wouldn't be… Read more

until 21 May - ok, bit long but accepted it. On 21 May was advised that fridge was damaged so cannot deliver. On 29 May was advised again that another fridge was damaged & could not deliver - geez how unlucky am I. Advised a special urgent order being place thru Sydney branch with new deliver date 12 June. On 12 June advised delivery between 3-5 but of course it failed. Was promised that definetly Monday 15 June I would have fridge. (not hopeful). Monday morning texted a tracking number with delivery between 5-7pm and also a phone call advising me the fridge was damaged - um seriously which one is it!!! Delivery driver advised me a at 5pm he had no fridge to deliver - failed again. By this stage I had had enough and demanded a full refund which I did get. This was 67 days of frustration, broken promises, lies & dishonesty. WORST EXPERIENCE.

 Follow-up  · I received a stock standard lame AI response to my review. Upon looking at other negative reviews - same same - words but no substance. To see this business still advertising husky bar fridges that they do not have in stock & can't deliver is morally wrong - not sure about legality but shame on appliances online. Good news was that as soon as I… Read more

We had a Westinghouse fridge delivered to our second floor. The delivery guys were very polite and efficient. They also managed to take our old fridge away, which was a bit larger than the new fridge. They plugged the new fridge in and gave clear instructions on when to turn it on. Fridge is working well. Thankyou.

 Follow-up  · The order was very easy to track. Buying the product was easy.The new fridge is working well and hopefully continues to do so.

Item we ordered online was not going to be available for a lengthy period of time so it was replaced by a similar but more expensive item at no extra cost to us. Excellent customer service.

Bait Advertising. I ordered (and paid for) a hybrid chest freezer (advertised as being on "sale") on 8th May, with delivery scheduled for 5th June. On 3rd June, I received a phone call (which was the first correspondence I had received) to inform me that they don't yet have stock. A little late in the day, I think. Delivery was rescheduled for… Read more

19th June.

On 24th June, in light of no delivery and no correspondence, I phoned to enquire about the status of my order. I was informed that they still don't have stock and I'd either have to wait, for another few weeks, or receive a refund. I asked about an alternative and they offered me a similar sized freezer, from a different manufacturer, at a 25% higher price, with no compensation. I chose a full refund.

I am miffed that I waited, almost 2 months, for a product which they did not have in stock and which they continued to advertise (albeit at a higher - still on "sale" - price).

To not have the item that I ordered, in stock, nor to acquire stock in a reasonable time, and yet to continue to advertise the same product, and to offer me a more expensive alternative, is, in my opinion, bait advertising, A practice which is illegal, as far as I understand. I believe they they should be taken to task, by ACCC, accordingly.

Based on this experience, I cannot recommend such a shoddy (and seemingly fraudulent) company.

Can't be trusted — "bait and switch" is the best description. I ordered a washing machine online, and during checkout was asked to select a date for delivery and removal of my old machine. I booked the date and arranged a day of annual leave to be home for it. On the morning of delivery, I logged into their chat to ask for a delivery window. The… Read more

automated response: "You'll be called 2 hours prior to delivery, and again 30 minutes prior." Great...

Then, hours later, I received a chat request asking for my order number — and was told the item was out of stock and not due back until the end of August, 30 days away.

Nothing on the website indicated it was out of stock or when it would return. The system happily let me pay, book a delivery date five days after ordering, and take a day of annual leave to be home — for a machine they knew they didn't have.

Good job leadership team for having such robust processes in place. Clearly more interested in taking the funds than mentioning the goods weren't available for weeks.

Very disappointing warranty experience I am extremely disappointed with how Appliances Online has handled a faulty Rogerseller sink mixer purchased for our new kitchen renovation. The tap failed immediately after installation, leaving us without running water in our kitchen. We contacted Appliances Online straight away and provided everything… Read more

requested, including photos and an independent plumber’s report confirming the fault was with the tap itself and not the installation.

I want to acknowledge that the staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. The issue is not with the individuals — it is with the warranty process and the lack of urgency in resolving a genuine product failure.

Despite providing the requested information, we have had to repeatedly chase updates and are now being told we need to wait further while the matter is investigated. This is incredibly frustrating when the evidence has already been provided and we are left without a functioning kitchen tap.

A faulty product can happen, but the real test of a company is how it responds when things go wrong. Unfortunately, the after-sales support and warranty process has fallen well short of expectations.

Customers should be aware that while purchasing from Appliances Online may be easy, getting a genuine fault resolved can be a very different experience.

Ordered a new washing machine at 3:35pm on one day and delivered, installed and old washing machine taken away by 9:10am the following day. Great end to end service and the delivery/installation agent had a wonderful customer service attitude! Great experience!
