Review your last buy on ProductReview.com.au

 AI reviews summary 

The overall sentiment for Edisons is highly polarised. While a large segment of customers praises the company for its exceptionally fast delivery, competitive pricing, and ease of purchase, a significant number of users report major failures regarding product durability and after-sales support. For many, the experience is seamless until a fault occurs, at which point the resolution process is frequently described as difficult and circular.

Pros
Rapid Dispatch and Delivery: Numerous reports highlight items arriving within 24 to 48 hours of ordering, even for interstate deliveries.
Competitive Pricing: Products are frequently described as "value for money" and significantly cheaper than comparable retail brands.
Ease of Transaction: The website is noted for being easy to navigate with a simple, secure checkout process and effective tracking systems.
Initial Performance: Many tools, particularly lawn mowers and chainsaws, are reported to perform well and start easily immediately out of the box.
Cons
Difficult Warranty and Return Process: Recurring complaints describe a "circular" support process involving excessive email chains, demands for video evidence of faults, and rigid refusal to provide refunds.
Build Quality and Durability: Significant reports of mechanical failures shortly after purchase, including disintegrated blades, stripped threads, and engine seizures.
Inadequate Documentation: Several products arrive without physical manuals, requiring users to download instructions that are sometimes described as blurry or lacking technical detail.
High Return Barriers: Users are often required to pay for return shipping on heavy machinery (100kg+) or are offered only partial refunds/store credit for faulty items.
Verdict

Edisons is a high-speed, budget-friendly option for consumers prioritising low upfront costs and fast delivery. However, the recurring reports of poor build quality and a high-friction "self-service" warranty process suggest that the low price comes with a significant risk if the product fails or does not match the description.

Recently took delivery of the Baumr 200w 254mm corded table sawBTB60.After viewing your short video on the unit downloaded and printed off the manual ( 30 pages) to realise later it was for the BTB50. Many further attempts to download the correct manual have failed despite inputting the correct item number i get indication that the manual for the… Read more ·  1

BTB60 is "missing" and switches to the BTB50, I located another site offering to locate and email the manual at cost of $14.99 so took this option to find 2 charges have been made, $14.99 and $20.99 and I am still trying to sort this out with that provider (no manual received yet) I have made a fair bit of progress with assembly but definitely need the manual to complete the task correctly. I suggest It would make matters so much more professional and easier for your clients if a manual were included as part of the package and i am certain there would be little objection from purchasers if they needed to pay another $10.00 or so for the convenience. I have noticed several comments along these lines in some reviews of this product. Hopefully you can assist with a solution, regards Frank Landells. 0421 693 419

Ordering from Edisons was simple & easy! With the sign up voucher, I was able to save more money on an already discounted Unimac Vacuum cleaner! Shipping was incredibly fast with tracking & arrived earlier than expected even around the peak Christmas season! Quality products at better prices than any retailer, I will be purchasing more from Edisons in the near future! Show reply

The process was quite easy. Delivery was on time and I was well informed and kept up to date the mower looks great although I’m a bit doubtful with all the plastic it has how long it will last. Show reply

I have been ordering from Edisons for 4 years so far buying many items without incident. I ordered a toolbox that arrived badly damaged obviously from rough courier treatment. I contacted Edisons Support and after reviewing the photos and talking over email they agreed to supply a replacement toolbox. I was very happy that they stood behind their customer service guarantee and will continue being a happy customer due to this interaction. Show reply

They are cheap but DO NOT BUY!!!! I bought a petrol backpack blower from them. The harness broke at the seams after 3 uses. I was sent a replacement harness. It broke too. I was sent a third harness. This broke after two uses. Edisons fix for this? Try a fourth harness which is exactly the same as the rest of them. They refused to give my money… Read more

back until I submitted a 1 star review here and then I was able to resolve the issue with them.

During the mediation, I was incessantly asked to change my review before I had my refund. Non stop asking me to change my review. To add to this, I submitted a 1 star review on the Edison’s website. This went into “review” more than 3 months ago and still doesn’t show on their website. The product still shows 5 stars. I wouldn’t trust their website reviews if this is anything to go by.

MICHIGAN 18HP 420cc Petrol Commercial Wood Chipper, Towable, Tree Mulcher - Ravenger 1950 It has a commercial powered motor.....and you need to be a mechanic to constantly fix it ...but the build quality is very poor. I've had three major faults in the 1st month. The blade quality is terrible and disintegrates. Yes, disintigrates. I have… Read more

unservicable machine sitting waiting for repair (more on that below). The blade sheared off and is now stuck in the drum and frame. On the frame, the cover for the drive belt also sheared off and is loose from the frame. To replace this, you have to take the machine apart which takes hours. I've spent more time fixing it than using it.

The machine is now broken and Edisons are trying to get me to repack the machine and send it back to Sydney. This is a 100kg plus and I can't repack using boxes from Bunnings!

Buy beware. Beast of a motor, but terrible blades and weak build quality.

" Hi Oliver,

We have contacted the courier to request a special service, but unfortunately, your location is not serviceable.

As a result, we need to find a way to pack the item securely for transportation. If you cannot find a box large enough for your item, you can break down multiple smaller cartons, wrap the item in cardboard, and secure it with ample packing tape.

Please make sure all parts that came with the item are included in the package and that the return address label is securely attached.

Kind Regards,

[Name Removed] - Edisons Click and Collect available from: 9am-3pm Monday to Friday (except NSW Public Holidays)"

Extremely unhappy with my recent purchase. Stud holding down the chainsaw bar to the body has stripped the threads out of the chainsaw's body after just 3 hours of use. Edisons support rep has placed the blame on me, but this hasn't happened on my SX45 or other 3 chainsaws I own from other better known brands. You've won the lottery when you… Read more

receive a product that works as it should from this company.

If you have issues, you're on your own.

ACCC will receive a complaint unless Edisons come back to me with a solution. ACL states this is a Major Failure and not a product of Acceptable Quality.

I purchased an online Plant Craft Shed from Edison. Upon opening it, I discovered that the shed was delivered by Mytopia. Upon inspection, I found several metal sheets damaged with dents and scratches. The instruction manual for assembly is only available online, not included in the packaging. It lacks detailed explanations for assembling certain… Read more

parts, including the crousel component, which is not clearly illustrated. The roller parts for the sliding door, are made out of soft plastic and totally not suitable to have the doors sliding on them , I had to purchase some other rollers and modify it so it works.The manual is also blurry, making it difficult to follow the assembly instructions. Furthermore, Edison/Mytopia does not have a customer support team that can be contacted via phone. The provided phone numbers only connect to an answering machine. This lack of support is frustrating, as it makes it difficult to resolve issues. The incomplete instruction manual significantly complicates the assembly process, making it almost impossible to complete the shed without professional assistance. I cannot recommend this product from Edison. They are selling a product that is that bad designed and not functional as they suggest, very bad designed. See the video on who the sliding doors work when installed. The supplied rollers which the doors roll on is made of soft plastic and does not glide inside the rail absolute pure engineering! What a waste of Money and the support does to seem to have no clue either, Terrible customer service.

On Sunday I placed an order for an item I needed urgently & paid for delivery between 1-5pm yesterday. I received an email saying it had been dispatched but my order page still said pending shipping & there was no tracking info beyond 'label created' so I contacted them to check. They assured me it would arrive 1-5pm. It did not. My order page… Read more

STILL says pending shipping & no change to tracking. Both yesterday & today I sent screenshots documenting all available info. This morning at 9am I got an email saying the matter had been passed to logistlics & they'd keep me informed. At 2.55pm I've heard nothing & they close at 3pm. I followed up with Startrack myself & they confirmed they DO NOT have package. This issue could easily have been resolved by sending a new item instead of making me wait indefinitely for them to find a lost pkg. I need this item URGENTLY yet 24 hours after delivery was due nothing has changed. No action, no contact, no explanation. This fiasco has fruitlessy wasted 24 hours of my time & caused me an extreme amount of unnecessary distress so if you expect efficient processing, delivery within a charged timeframe or a decent standard of Customer Service I do not recommend purchasing from Edisons.

The 250amp inverter welder is amazing - the old AC welder will be gathering dust... Show 2 replies

 Follow-up  · Recent floods saw the welder submerged in muddy water for a day and we expected the unit to be unserviceable. However, after spraying everything, including dials with Electronic Cleaner and leaving it in the sun for a day, the welder worked perfectly and has since done some long and heavy welding jobs without any issues whatsoever. I am VERY impressed!

 Follow-up  · To get them to fit on our Ryobi machine, I made a small rubber washer so that it tightened up properly with this blade. So much better cutting than the original Ryobi blade! I bought 2 blades, first one is still going strong.

We ordered a shade shield. Was delivered quickly, but unfortunately some parts were too long. Edisons were very good with support, however. We'll shorten the parts ourselves, after a bit of back and forth. Mistakes can happen, but it's important how the supplier reacts. Edisons were very good, responded to all our mails, and even offered a small refund in recognition of the problem. Would still buy from them again without hesitation. Show reply

Attempted numerous times to purchase spare parts from these people only to reach a purchase barrier. Their automated responses straight away point the finger at me saying I'm doing something wrong before they finally admit they only take payments through Westpac but don't mention that anywhere along the way. Have emailed them several times with no response whatsoever. I buy lots of stuff online, this has been my worst experience

get what you pay for - cheap…..!

Update - following the reply. While Edisons try to demonstrate a willingness to resolve issues.. One item returned due to its failure after its second use took over 6 weeks to be returned and multiple follow up emails. Another product also failed - although this was just after the 12 month warranty period. It was then highlighted how to "maintain" an item. As per the initial review you get what you pay for and do not expect them to last or perform like a branded product.
