 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.

Really happy with appliances online. Website was easy to use and delivery was quick. Informed of a time frame and then a message within half an hour of arrival. Friendly delivery people took care to bring my dryer in and removed the old one. Happily recommend appliances online.

I have just cancelled my last order with Appliances Online. Rang, confirmed they had stock of an item and ordered it. They then called the day before delivery, and said they do not actually have stock, and that this will be delayed. I just went to Harvery Norman - they gave me a better price as I had ordered lots of items for a reno, they had… Read more

the stock, and I got what I needed.

Appliances Online used to be good. They have good prices, but their stock is an issue. We had this with a mattress order that they ended up delaying delivery for about 4 weeks - we were actually sleeping on the floor.

Disgraceful company. I ordered a bar fridge and it is only stated after payment that the earliest delivery is a month away. The day before delivery I get a call that delivery is now delayed another 7 weeks. They are selling stock they don't have! No disclosure that the item is out of stock and there will be long waits. I will never use these amateurs again!

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!!!!!

They price matched and applied their promotional discount on top. Very quick simple process via chat. Delivered when said. Updated through the day of delivery. Dishwasher brought up steep driveway in the rain, taking away the old machine without extra charges. Great service.

I recently purchased a Lifespan treadmill and exercise bike through Appliances Online and had a flawless experience. Not only were the products priced really competitively, but the free delivery saved me a ton of hassle and money. I also had to call their phone support team, and they were incredibly helpful and professional. It’s rare to find great prices combined with top-tier customer service these days. Will definitely shop here again!

I was reluctant to try this website instead of a store, thought that comparing the price with a store, plus appliances online had free delivery in which they hook up the fridge and take the rubbish for free, this had to be a scam, but I risked it. They arrived on time, great communication. Brand new in box just like the stores, no dents no… Read more

Excellent service. Our guests broke a queen sized bed in our AirBnB. Appliances Online delivered a replacement bed the next day. It was so nice, I ordered another one for the second bedroom. And, each time, they took the old stuff away. Too easy! Makes easy work of what would have been an annoying and multistage problem for me.

 Follow-up  · They didn’t set up the bed. It was in a flat pack. But it was easy with the Allen key provided. We already had a good quality mattress to go on it. Mattress isn’t included. Delivery process was fantastic. It came the next day!

Great Service all round from ringing up to delivery of bed base.

 Follow-up  · Old fridge was at least 20 years & being a fisher and paykel was still working but needed updating set up by the guys was trouble free with delivery as tracked on phone.

I was sad when my (32 year old) Westinghouse fridge/freezer finally gave out. Fortunately, I was able to find a replacement at Appliances Online at a competitive price. I ordered the fridge, and it was delivered the following day. The delivery team even took away my old fridge! Very grateful.

 Follow-up  · You asked for follow up. Within 2 months of purchase something happened to the seal so I could not close the door of the fridge part. Consequently, everything inside the fridge became warm. I contacted Appliances Online and they contacted Westinghouse. I was notified that a service person would contact me within 2 weeks. This is my only fridge, so… Read more

Website was very easy to navigate. Chat window was excellent. I used the chat to make sure I had measurements correct. Delivery was quite quick, and the changeover of our laundry appliance went through very smoothly. The crew were very efficient in the way they handled the install. Thank you

Our family has used Appliances on Line for many years now, if we require an appliance we turn directly to them. Their service in every aspect is excellent throughout. If a replacement is needed for any reason they do not hesitate.

Simple Installation Error, 8 Days to Resolve I purchased a dryer from Appliance Online and, during installation, the installers disconnected and reconnected the washing machine pipes. Unfortunately, they were not reattached correctly, causing a leak and leaving us without a working washing machine. What should have been a simple fix took eight… Read more

days to resolve.

We reported the issue the next day and arranged for someone to be home for the repair visit. The technician initially went to the wrong address before eventually attending, only to tell us they could not fix the problem and that another tradesperson was required.

A handyman was then booked. Despite me contacting Appliance Online twice to correct the address, he was also sent to the wrong address. My wife had taken the day to be home with our children, only for the appointment to almost be missed because the address details had not been updated.

When the handyman finally attended later that day, he found there was nothing complex to repair. The washing machine pipes had simply not been tightened correctly during the original installation.

Mistakes happen. What disappointed me was the lack of ownership, repeated administrative errors, and dismissive customer service throughout the process.

After eight days without a washing machine and multiple appointments to fix a basic installation error, I would recommend purchasing elsewhere. Other retailers will often match Appliance Online's prices anyway.

Do NOT buy their Care Plan - Absolutely TERRIBLE service! I purchased a Care Plan from Appliances Online, and their post-sales service has been an absolute nightmare. When my washing machine broke down, I submitted a repair request on their website and received ZERO response. I had to chase them up by calling and emailing Winning Group's… Read more

customer service, which wasted another month just to get things moving. After all that, I was forced to wait again just for a technician to come and do a basic inspection, and then wait AGAIN to book the actual repair.

Every time you book an appointment, they force you to wait for a ridiculous 5-hour window. For five whole hours, you cannot leave the house, and you cannot miss a single phone call. You basically have to stand guard at your front door. If you happen to miss just one call, the technician will leave immediately, and you have to rebook and start the endless waiting process all over again. To make matters worse, their customer service will then arrogantly tell you, "We have photos proving we were at your door," completely blaming you for the missed appointment.

To this very day, my machine is STILL not fixed. The entire process has been incredibly exhausting and inefficient. If you are considering buying their insurance or Care Plan, don't fall for it! They are quick to take your money, but when you actually need help, their service is a joke. Strongly DO NOT recommend!

Wow, super impressed with how easy it is to buy from here. Next day delivery for a clothes dryer, the courier they use has a tracker so you can watch it and time your day around it (note it ended up being 2 hours later than the original delivery window but it always updates as they go). Cleared the packaging up for us too. The online account is… Read more

also amazing because they have a quick link to download all the manuals and log a service call just for the appliance you buy, so no need to google it and match your model ever again! We'll see how they perform with service/warranty (if we ever need it) but I would buy from them again - such great prices.
