Bought a heat pump dryer. It stopped working after a few weeks. That's a major fault and under consumer law I'm entitled to a full refund within the first 30 days. Now they're refusing a refund and want to assess, try fix, etc. Not acceptable. Don't waste your time, pay more go for a trusted seller.

I purchased a BBQ and natural gas conversion kit, only to find out the kit wasn’t compatible with the model. While the confusion may have stemmed from unclear product listings, I was shocked by how unwilling the company was to help resolve the issue. Despite explaining the situation and the added costs involved, they refused any exchange or support due to rigid return policies. As a professional builder, this was frustrating and embarrassing. Very disappointing outcome and poor customer care — I won’t be buying from them again.

Problems with the delivery and removal of fridges as per the service offered. Have had to reschedule 3x times - If you miss the one call from the driver, they move on very quickly. Not legendary service as per the logo in the drivers shirts!

Our fridge was meant to be delivered on Wednesday. The delivery people did not want to take it up the stairs with 2 men, so said they would return the next day with the fridge with 4 men. They did not return on Thursday (took the day off work for the delivery). I then called again I was promised it would be delivered on Friday (took another day off work). It was not. I called again and was promised that it would be delivered on Saturday. I am calling them again and have been told it will not be delivered again today after being promised and assured. We don’t need 4 men, 2 men or 1 man - whatever. We have a lift. We need a fridge. We have 6 people in our home without a fridge. We can carry it ourselves. This is the worst customer service we have ever received in our lives. You have lied to us for 4 days & cost me two days of work. We are still waiting for the fridge…. (4th-7th of June 2025)

We have been waiting over 2 months for a washing machine we were told was available. We are very frustrated and won't be purchasing from here again.

Untrustworthy installation, awaiting 3rd attempt. 28 April Put in an order for an oven, where they confirmed installation on the 2nd May. 29 April they then cancelled on me and rebooked me for the 8th May. 8th May 7am, was awake waiting for the guy, there was no knock or doorbell ring. Apparently they came and even sent the head office a picture of my front door. They did give me a missed call but my phone was not on me. I am now booked for the 19th May. Totally untrustworthy and be careful if you book them for a gas install. With the same company, I also got a fridge delivered. He sent a sms with tracking of his location and also knocked on the door. I now have to give up 1 more days of wages, which makes two days wages lost. Totally not worth it to save $100

Bosch front load washing machine failed in just over 10 months. It is still under manufacturers warranty and after nearly three weeks I still have yet to be contacted by Bosch or their preferred repairer. Neither answer calls. Appliances online are very apologetic but that's all - the issue has not been resolved and I have an hours drive to get to the closest laundromat and then an hour to return home. We have bought lots pf appliances from them over the years but would not recommend them again due to the appalling after sales service!!!!

I ordered a Miele dishwasher on 2nd April 2025 and after several phone calls was promised delivery on Tuesday 15th April. I rang Miele and asked when my dishwasher was delivered and the confirmed It was delivered to AO on 4th April. A bit of a shock. AO finally admitted my dishwasher had been given to the wrong customer. Well it’s Tuesday 25th April and AO still can't give me a delivery date. After some research I found this company is owned by the Winning Group For all that companies corporate promises - problem solving etc. I can only say that my experience to date has been extremely disappointing. They have my money and I still don’t know when I’ll get my dishwasher

Delivery dates on website are not correct. Dates mislead customers when back ordering is made I ended up ordering an oven thru AO. At the time of ordering I received notice for delivery in a month, 24/1. I actually got a good price on the oven., during the sales. I paid a lot of $ for a 15amp plug and upgrade to my switchboard before this date. I received a message / call on the 22/1 saying it will be another 6 weeks away, the end of February until the item is available EVEN THOUGH DELIVERY IN MY AREA, FOR NEW ORDERS, SAYS 12/2. This is misleading advertising and incorrect information which is deceptive for customers ordering items as these dates are not true or close to accurate. The day before, it said delivery 18/2 so it seems to get updated as the date came forward 6 days. It was advertised that it would be in stock for new orders earlier, in my area, but for some reason I have to wait over two months. Why is this?! It needs to be made clear at purchase time that their dates are not close to accurate and you can be waiting months. The info I received after payment advised me that the estimated delivery date would be 24/1 and a time would be confirmed on the day. The link I have still says delivery 24/1. I can understand it being a few days either way but six weeks?! I was offered a Beko or Glem oven as they were available but they both seem to be not as reliable brands as smeg and have bad reviews online which is why I wanted the smeg. I contemplated getting a 90cm smeg because it’s apparently available, instead of the 60cm, but it is quite a lot more $ and requires hardwiring. I already paid for upgrades to my switchboard for a 15 amp so I won’t be paying $1k more for the oven then $500 more for hardwiring. I asked for delivery date, by return email, from Lachlan R, the person who initially contacted me and advised me that it wasn’t available, but Lachlan R didn’t respond to my email. Days later, I still have not received a reply, I had to go to online chat for an answer. They told me 28/2 but I questioned why it says online delivery in my area 12/2? I asked them to change my date to what it says online so someone who orders one today won’t get theirs before I do. They said they would but it wouldn’t make any difference. This is deceptive because they seem to know that it won’t be available until 28/2 but advertised 12/2. I was offered a refund initially by Lachlan R but I have changed electrics to suit this oven and will be out of pocket more $ to get one hardwired. I also purposely bought the oven at sale price. Did they give preference to someone else that paid full price? I have not been given a reason why after over a month I have not received my oven and it will be six weeks more until I “should” get it. So I guess this is a warning when ordering items from AO that even though they tell you it will be a month it could be more than two, or hears hoping it won’t be more than that. Hope I get my oven asap.

Fridge looked used that I bought new. Happened with replacement one too. Third one sent out freezer didn’t work properly in week and half of having it. They wouldn’t refund or replace it and blocked me from seeing their website. Advised me to contact manufacture for confirmation of fault to get a credit note but they said they don’t do that when I contacted them. Appliances online blocked me in between that time so I still have a faulty near new fridge. Will never buy anything from them again and won’t recommend to anyone. I’d previously bought few items from them and been happy but not anymore. I wouldn’t trust them at all to help if there are issues with anything you buy from them.

I ordered a dishwasher and extended warranty, took a day off to recieve deluvery only to be advised on that day around lunchtime , after been given confirmation of delivery that day that i wont be getting delivery till 4 days later. Then when friday came today , i recieved my new dishwasher which had a faulty pump in it and the installer was amazing however. He was my only good experience with this company I tried to negotiate with the sales person about an upgrade and come to a reasonable outcome with paying some more money but not quite the full amount for next model and was refused. So now im going to demand a refund and buy from elsewhere. Very dissapointing indeed

A month ago I wasted a huge amount of time choosing a specific fridge, ensuring it fit my space, had everything I needed and reading reviews etc to ensure it was the one I should buy, only to then discover after finally going through the manufacturer's manual that appliances online had incorrectly advertised the vegetable compartment as a variable compartment so I thought that was one of those variable compartments that can be used as freezer or fridge space, and all my time and effort were lost becasue the fridge's freezer space - without being able to use the 'variable' compartment as a freezer compartment at all - was too small. I did a chat and advised they needed to correct their advertising to not waste others' time and was promised they would. A while later it still hadn't been corrected so I messaged again, and was rudely and dismissively told to leave it with them and my input wasn't required any longer. After it then still hadn't been updated I chatted again and made a formal complaint and requested a manager respond to the email address I supplied. Now a week and a half after that I've heard nothing at all from them, and it's a month since my first contact and the advertising of this fridge's compartments is still incorrect despite them knowing that and how much it inconvenienced me thus could inconvenience others. It appears they do not care at all, so imagine how terrible they'd be trying to get quality after sales service! Not to mention I can't trust any of the advertising on their website at all now that I know even when they know they've advertised incorrectly, they just leave it incorrect and do not change it.

Parents fridge stoped working on Christmas day, ordered a new fridge to be delivered January 2. Parents 90 & 97, payed $20 tip also thinking they would go the extra for elderly. WRONG!, fridge came 1 day late, yes they did remove the old fridge and place the new fridge in its position. Left the plastic on the fridge and all the shelves taped shut, which required me to travel 1.5 hours each way along with expensive tolls, to complete the job we payed for. My thought, these delivery people don't have Elderly Parents and don't respect the elderly. My parents don't disrespect anyone and one is wheel chair bound.

Their managing director is an arrogant obnoxious avoidant dismissive not fit for the job low grade wanna be achiever... And their products overpriced, their customer service rude, their promises lacking. We wrote to them many times over months - and...No response - Are you surprised?? We are now exposing them to further regulatory investigations - formal complaint to ACC and ASIC to fully investigate this company. We encourage all others to do the same...

These idiots are to be avoided like the plague. I paid in full and they are suppose to deliver 12-1.30 pm... So I wait .. at 1 pm I starting ringing to check but those numb nuts cannot even say where the drivers are. They maybe over at a bar somewhere. So I got all my groceries in a box defrosting because you must empty the old fridge and defrosted for it to be taken away. I swear my blood boils with this actvity. They are the traders from HELL. Oh yeah they say no problem and tell me they will schedule for another day. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY BUSINESS. SHUT THEM DOWN

They don't leave all of their customer reviews on their website only their made up 5 star reviews. I bought something that didn't work (a heater). The young girl in customer services said that she didn't believe me.

I have tried to contact Appliances online now for 7 straight days. I leave my call back number approximately 4-5 times per day. even the complaints line does not answer. I will never shop with them again. Stay away. Be warned. I would rather pay more for a product and get better service. I fell for the trap and didn't read internet reviews before purchase. Terrible company.
