Excellent customer service

Slight problem with fitting a new oven door latch, but this was resolved in full, quickly by the team at ESSE. Even the postage costs were refunded. Excellent customer service.

Esse brush is good quality.

The Esse brush I ordered is good quality and I’m pleased with my purchase. Esse sent my order out promptly but DPD failed to deliver on the allocated day, not Esse’s fault but still they were most helpful and the delivery issue was resolved satisfactorily. I would recommend Esse and will definitely purchase from them again.

Buyer beware if you live in Australia

Buyer beware if you live in Australia. Their after sales service is slow, cumbersome and extremely frustrating.

OK but expensive.

My replacement glass fitted well, but since I have out I could have had a piece cut to size at the local builders merchant for £15, instead of the £47 I paid for this one.
