Thank you for your review, Updeep. The KRO-8A 115L oven is a 5800W commercial appliance requiring hardwiring by a qualified electrician. Its product specifications state that it is not a standard 13A plug-in appliance.

Dreadful - missing parts and poor customer service

We ordered the metal grater. It came missing several parts. The company wanted photos to verify what was not there. Then a video. Then said they hadn't received the video. The impression is that they just want you to get tired of pursuing the complaint. Avoid.

Helen, I'm sorry the grater arrived incomplete and that you were repeatedly asked for evidence. On 9 September we issued a full refund, including the original delivery charge, and confirmed that no return or further photographs or videos were needed. We also apologised directly for the time and frustration this caused.

I strongly advise against buying from this company. We purchased an air fryer that has not worked properly since the very first day. Despite calling customer service every day and sending numerous emails, the issue remains unresolved.

The customer service staff have been extremely rude and unhelpful. The company has neither repaired or replaced the faulty product nor provided us with a refund. This has been a very frustrating and disappointing experience. Please think carefully before purchasing anything from this company.

Hi Bhawna,

We reviewed the photographs and video and identified the broken aluminium tube. A replacement part was offered without charge and accepted by you.

We are sorry that the part has still not been dispatched. The warehouse and supply teams are tracing it, and we will provide a genuine dispatch update rather than another estimated date.

Sharon, I'm sorry your order did not arrive as you expected. Our delivery record shows the fryer was delivered on 3 September, and we emailed you on 11 September to clarify what did not match the information you had been given. We recognise that delivery timing and clear communication are important.

Multiple problems, avoid this company

Ordered a couple of things from this place, wouldn’t recommend! Our grill broke in less than a year and they wouldn’t replace it saying it was parts only warranty… the bottom and top would not get hot so they expected us to call an engineer to assess the problem, send a spare part out and then call another engineer to come and install it. The whole thing would cost more than the grill itself, ridiculous customer service expecting this of us. We have had a grill that’s lasted 4+ and still in working condition. Avoid this company unless you want to buy half working products that they won’t refund or help with. Cheap reseller slapping their own logo on their products. I would have had a better experience ordering directly through Temu or alibaba, the instruction manuals given from this company are in mistranslated Chinese anyway.

Hi Harry, we're sorry the grill stopped heating. We received the photos and video you supplied. Under the parts-only warranty recorded on the case, an engineer's diagnosis was needed to identify the required component, while engineer labour was not covered. We understand why that process and cost were frustrating.

Phil, I'm sorry about the lack of delivery updates and the unexpected evening call with only 15 minutes' notice. We emailed you on 4 September to apologise and ask whether the fridge had arrived safely, without damage and in working order. The communication and unloading difficulties you describe were not an acceptable delivery experience.

Even one star is too much for this…

Even one star is too much for this company. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the way my order has been handled.

I initially informed you that the item you sent me was incorrect, but instead of accepting this, you spent two or three days arguing with me before finally acknowledging that the item was indeed incorrect and that I was right.

From the very beginning, I made it clear that I was in a hurry and urgently needed a chips fryer for my shop. However, because of your mistake, I have now been without a chips fryer for around 20 days.

After finally accepting that the item was incorrect, you sent me a QR code and instructed me to take the item to the Post Office. I had to close my shop and take time away from my business to return an item that was incorrectly supplied by you in the first place.

I returned the item as instructed, and it has now been TEN DAYS since I sent it back. During this time, I have repeatedly contacted you by email, phone, text message and online chat, simply asking for confirmation that you have received the returned item and an update on when my correct item will be sent.

Despite all these attempts, I have received no meaningful response whatsoever.

This is completely unacceptable customer service.

I have been left without an essential piece of equipment in my shop for approximately 20 days, entirely because of an error on your side. I have had to waste my time dealing with the return, close my business to take the item to the Post Office, and then spend even more time repeatedly trying to get a basic response from your company.

The most frustrating part is that I am not even being given a simple update. I should not have to repeatedly call, email and message you just to find out whether my returned item has even been received or whether my replacement is being processed.

In my experience, this is some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered. There appears to be no proper customer support, no communication and very little respect for customers.

I need a clear response urgently. I have already waited far too long because of an error that was not mine.

Hi Zahed, we accept that the wrong fryer was supplied and that our communication and handling of the return took too long. We issued your full refund on 2 September and confirmed it the following day. We're sorry for the frustration and inconvenience.

The bin I ordered was a good price and looks great. It did have a dent on the side but KRD sent me a label, I had kept the box to send it back in and the replacement looks great, I couldn’t be more pleased with a bin. Thanks KRD.

Dave, I'm sorry the bin arrived dented and that the wait for a replacement left you uncertain. After you chose a replacement, we sent a prepaid return label on 4 September. On 11 September, our support team confirmed that the damaged bin had been received and that the replacement was being sent. We appreciate your patience through the return process.
