Written by the company

The Appliance Depot was founded in 2008 by a dedicated team who have over 33 years of experience within the industry. We have seen welcome and unexpected growth over the years and are now operating from two different sites within Leicestershire, with a total warehouse capacity of over 35,000 square foot, holding over 5,000 products for sale. We sell products from some of the most recognised and loved brands, including, but not limited to: Neff, Bosch, Siemens and Smeg. We specialise in selling graded products bought directly from the manufacturers themselves. These products may not come in the original packaging, they may be ex-display, damaged, end of the line or cosmetically imperfect. However, we pride ourselves on being honest and transparent with our customers, and you can find an explanation on each listing of why that item is graded. From the moment we answer the phone or respond to your email, you are at the heart of what we do. We strive to answer all queries and provide as much information to the customer as possible, in order for them to make a well-informed decision. Our dedicated team pride themselves on providing an exceptional level of customer service, from answering queries, to showing people around the warehouse, and going above and beyond when delivering.

Phoned up to enquire about an oven

Phoned up to enquire about a replacement oven. A very pleasant lady answered straight away- with no 'press this and that' stacking system!
Order completed within 5 mins. Couldn't be better- and a favourable price!

I highly recommend applicant depot

I highly recommend applicant depot. Through no fault of theirs, I failed to fully read the description provided for the SMEG cooker I purchased. As such it was more damaged than I expected it to be. One phone call later and I had spoken to the owner, Jon, who couldn't have been kinder or more efficient if he had tried. He offered a small refund to make up for the extra damage which was in my account in under an hour. Truly lovely staff, excellent customer service and a fabulous, brand new, fancy cooker. Happy customer.

Just taken delivery of a Bosch fridge freezer. Was described as graded, and being in perfect condition. But packaging was tatty.
Very happy customer as it is in perfect condition and for a great price. Excellent service. Helpful, friendly staff and delivery was on time.

Kitchen transformed

The wife convinced us to go for a new Siemens fridge freezer from the Appliance Depot. For once she was right! Top notch customer service and a great product. Sensing my vulnerability we also acquired a Bosch washing machine soon after. Prompt, free delivery. Kitchen looking great at last.

Massive Saving

I recently purchased a Neff Washer / Dryer with a saving of £400. It was new in box not ex- display or damaged stock. I shopped around and The Appliance Depot price could not be beaten.
The purchase was straight forward and the delivery guy was very helpful.
I can not recommend this company highly enough, I will be using again in the future for electrical appliances.

Beware if you need to return a faulty appliance

30/08/25: I ordered a used combi microwave from The Appliance Depot with 3 months warranty.
08/09/25: the microwave was delivered. I was advised to check it ASAP to report any damage or faults.
22/09/25: a qualified electrician fitted, but after a few days it became apparent that unit had a faulty panel, and possibly a fault with the microwave.
01/10/25: I reported the faulty appliance to Appliance Depot (AD) on 01/10/25 via email, and asked to return the unit. I did not feel comfortable keeping an appliance that costs over £1500 knowing that it had faults, and only 3 months warranty.
03/10/25: I chased AD again, as I had not received any sort of acknowledgement of my return request.
04:10/25: AD offered to repair the fault.
04/10/25: I declined the offer of a repair, as I had lost faith in this particular appliance, and didn’t want to risk a further fault developing after the remaining 2 months warranty had expired. I asked AD to process a return and refund.
07/10/25: I chased AD again, not having heard anything from them, and suggested that surely they had a documented returns process that should be straight forward to implement.
10/10/25: I chased AD again, not having heard anything from them, and expressed my disappointment in AD’s post sales customer service.
13/10/25: I chased AD again, not having heard anything from them. I advised that I would contact my credit card company and seek some legal consumer advice. I also told them I would be documenting my experience in this review today.

Let’s see what happens next. I think The Appliance Depot is a trustworthy company, until there is something wrong with an appliance they have sold. They prefer to only show /advertise /ask for reviews on reviews.co.uk, as AD has a more favourable overall reviews rating there. However, even on reviews.co.uk their “Refunds Process – Difficult” and “Returns Process – Could be Better”. Personally, I wouldn’t risk buying a “graded” nor “used” product from AD again – too much money to risk, and not worth the stress.

Bought Smeg tap which was squeaking

Bought Smeg tap which was squeaking, another one was sent with squeaks and dent. I sent an image and email to the company but had absolutely no response. Gave up on them and bought tap elsewhere. I would be careful buying from them. I bought sink which was fine but taps are faulty.

My experience has not been the best

My experience has not been the best
I bought an oven that arrived without a box and scratched with doors unaligned.
When I sent in my complaint I was told that the item had been advertised with the doors not being aligned, however this is not the case and I should try cleaning the scratch and if I returned it and they were able to clean it I’d get charged £50
I will not be buying from this company again and I would not recommend anyone should buy either
I’m sorry to have to leave this feedback but had they been a little polite and tried to sort the issues out I’d never have left this

What a fantastic Company.I ordered a SMEG 5 burner Gas Hob very recently and was aware that it already had a few minor scratches of no real significance and saved nearly three hundred pounds in doing so.The service from The Appliance Depot was fantastic and the delivery process faultless.I'm delighted with my purchase and they are very honest and open with their customers.I highly recommend them to you.Paul

Used goods scam

Driver who collected the returned part after 2 weeks claimed it was a regular tactic. Oven advertised as new. Arrived damaged, not in original packaging hoping customer would accept. Owner claims being in business for 18 years is an excuse that they know best. Do not be scammed!

Excellent customer service

Ordered a Bosch washing machine via the company and it did not have the door fitting kit included (supplied as an integrated unit). Bosch were completely unhelpful and very abrupt. Laura took over and sorted the issue, leading to the missing parts being issues FOC. She was supportive and demonstrated a compassionate stance throughout. Truly Excellent customer service.
