Very pleased with the delivery time of my portable air conditioning unit during a heatwave. Couldn’t work out why the accessories were delivered separately,I’m sure there’s good reason.

Very helpful. I ran the company before ordering and spoke to a Morgan A and he was very helpful. I then ordered the air con and it arrived next day and in good condition. Works perfect. I have only just got it so can't comment on how long it lasts after being refurbished. Came with all the needed attachments too. Would recommend.
I’ve only dealt with Aircon direct twice and both occasions I’ve had excellent service

Be very wary about using this company! Their delivery service is the worst and when your package is missing you will find out just how bad this company are at dealing with it! They are faceless and when you do get through you'll be fobbed of mercilessly. Be warned.

I’ve bought units from this company before so it’s not a one off. They have always been great and contact with them has always been easy and quick. Recently I bought a unit for delivery in london. I entered a letter wrong in the postcode so delivery failed. When I called them they sent a new unit for next day delivery rather than trying to get the courier to change the delivery ( always a nightmare ) it arrived the next day and the original order eventually went back to them. They didn’t charge me for my mistake and I was not without aircon for days while it got sorted !

Easy to order, competitive pricing and excellent communication made the buying process a breeze. Delivery was similarly well executed with a good selection of dates and options, timely communication and delivered exactly within the time frame given Definitely recommended!

⭐ 1/5 — Extremely poor after-sales experience
I purchased a refurbished electriQ P12C-V3 portable air conditioner from Appliances Direct/Aircon Direct. After approximately a year and relatively limited seasonal domestic use, it developed an electrical/control fault and became unusable.
I reported the fault, provided video evidence and cooperated with troubleshooting. What followed was an incredibly frustrating process.
The retailer repeatedly focused on the manufacturer’s warranty having expired. I repeatedly explained that I was not making a warranty claim but asserting my statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Despite this, assistance was variously described as a “goodwill gesture” and the product apparently being within a “grace period”.
They eventually acknowledged that I was making a Consumer Rights Act claim and offered an inspection. I never refused inspection. However, their collection option required somebody to be present during an unspecified weekday collection window. I work full-time and live alone.
I proposed numerous alternatives, including evening/weekend collection and other practical arrangements. I also offered for an engineer to attend and inspect the unit. I was instead told I could arrange my own courier, despite this being a large portable air conditioner containing refrigerant and me no longer having the manufacturer’s packaging.
Their eventual written position was that there was insufficient evidence that the fault was inherent and they declined to provide a refund or replacement.
At that point I stopped going around in circles and made a Section 75 claim with my credit provider, supplying the evidence of the fault and the correspondence with the retailer.
My Section 75 claim was completed and I received a FULL REFUND.
I appreciate that an expired warranty does not automatically mean a retailer must refund a product. My complaint is about the way this was handled: repeatedly focusing on the warranty despite my explicitly raising statutory rights, the difficulty arranging a practical inspection, and the sheer amount of correspondence required.
A straightforward faulty-appliance complaint turned into numerous emails, telephone calls, management escalation and ultimately a Section 75 claim.
I eventually got my money back — through my credit provider, not Appliances Direct/Aircon Direct.
Based on my experience, I would not purchase another electriQ appliance from this retailer. Cheap prices mean very little to me if resolving a problem afterwards is this difficult.
1 star.
