Avoid, Avoid, Avoid

First, I will begin by emphasising the importance of trusting the reviews presented on this page. If you delve deeper, you will discover many more reviews from different sources that support this perspective. I acknowledge that negative news tends to spread more rapidly than positive news; however, at some point, a company must conduct a thorough self-assessment to improve its services for customers. My company purchased nearly £2,000 worth of equipment in preparation for an event. We utilised the fryers once, and right from the start, the baskets kept unhinging from their holders, leading us to discontinue the use of one fryer while the chef continued to use another with heat gloves so service did not cease. I have reached out to KRD regarding the issue, and their response has been that it is a matter of wear and tear. I believe that wear and tear would imply that we had more than one use of the equipment before any issue should arise, which, in my opinion, indicates that the product is defective, as these baskets should be very sturdy when submerged in hot oil. While I would have been satisfied with just receiving some replacement durable baskets, KRD instead attempt to push us to further purchase a different set of fryer baskets which again in my opinion shows they know the ones supplied are not of
good standing order, after refusing to purchase anything further until the issue is resolved KRD have now ceased responding to my emails, demonstrating a complete lack of customer service, which reveals their true nature. Although I have not encountered issues with my other products yet, I feel it is merely a matter of time. I strongly advise against engaging with these "Cowboy builders"; do not be lured by their pricing as you will regret. We have contacted our local Citizens Advice Bureau and are in the process of reporting them to Trading Standards

Shocking company . Stay well clear faulty items no refunds given even took the item back £2000 item and didn’t refund the money fighting them with MasterCard at the moment. There’s not even a battle. The item was faulty. They come and collected it then stop communication

Disgrace, unprofessional, scammed

Judging by the fact KRD hasn’t responded to any reviews in the last 12mths I doubt this will get a response either.

Disgusted by my experience with this company , and despite numerous emails direct to them , and their online chat NOBODY HAS RESPONDED
I spent a lot of money with them and scammed, mistreated , rude and unprofessional

A delivery of a £2k cooker was astonishing, driver couldn’t find my church so dropped the very large , heavy cooker 3 streets away on a pavement
All other items not received , no contact or reply from the company

Absolutely shocking products and…

Absolutely shocking products and service. Pie warmer bought, awful quality, not fit for commercial use, fisher price could make a better product. called and spoke to someone who said it was ‘not his problem’ emailed multiple times with zero reply. Basically thieves selling online, scammers could be used to describe them. Avoid at all costs, don’t get stung like me. They should be ashamed of themselves and take down their joke of a business.

Negative experience

Hello, purchased a fryer, in late November 2024. As a new business and first of all one side has stopped working and now the other side, I have contacted them, and they are good with replying but not getting a resolution or getting anywhere so resorted to writing this review.

Terrible Customer Service and Lack of Support

I purchased an industrial mixer from KRD, but unfortunately, it arrived damaged and with electrical issues. I immediately contacted the company and was told over the phone that an engineer would be sent to resolve the issue. However, after multiple calls and emails, I have yet to receive any confirmation of when this will happen.

Now, the company is not answering my calls or responding to my emails, leaving me with a non-functional machine and no solution. I have formally requested a pickup and a full refund, but so far, no action has been taken.

The lack of commitment and support from KRD has been extremely frustrating. I do not recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable products and customer service. If I do not receive an immediate resolution, I will have no choice but to take legal action.

I purchased an electric griddle from KRD on 12th February 2025 and received it on 14th February 2025, but it doesn’t work at all. I have tried contacting their customer service multiple times, but they have completely ignored my requests for support. The lack of response and poor service is unacceptable. I would not recommend buying from this company as they do not stand behind their products or assist their customers. Very disappointed!!!!

Despicable Customer Service

If I were able to write a minus review I would. We are a small military veterans charity who provide a free hot meal every day. We fundraised for a replacement freezer, a significant spend for us and purchased it from KRD. It arrived broken and on a broken pallet dumped on the street outside our building. Despite numerous emails KRD continues to ignore us, haven’t picked up the faulty freezer and provide a refund. They should be ashamed of themselves and their customer service is despicable. Buyer beware.

Superb

Superb company. I ordered an industrial mixer for my fledgling business and I have to say it was a very smooth transaction. Even the courier gave me a hand to get it into the premises as it weighed 91kg. 10 out of 10
