Fairly easy to find parts for an ESSE 100 log burner, reasonably quick service. Only issue is the web site payments, I ended up paying twice, using an iPad, because after the sale it went back to pay... See more

Fantastic! Yes it takes longer for items to arrive than Amazon, but this is a small company. When the parts did arrive for our old EC, I had to give Esse a call for advice on how to fit them. Greg was... See more

Good customer service. Sent required part and clear instructions to repair the oven.
Nice that the ovens are built to be repaired and ESSE supports this.

2 SIDES!

Good contact on phone with company. I was really pleased that they negotiated a display model for me because it made the model more affordable and Glen answered my various questions. I love the stove.
The difficulty I had was the 2 months long wait for delivery. I understood the stove was to be delivered the day after I moved house on April 23. In fact it came June 16. I had to wait 8 weeks!

Great customer service

Had an issue with the front corroding on a fairly new 1000T. Contacted them expecting to be fobbed off. Was asked to send some photographs and a few hours later I was told that although the cooker was out of warranty, it should not have corroded so the front will be replaced free of charge. Which they duly did. Fantastic customer service, really pleased.
