Extremely Disappointing Customer Service - Broken Microwave Unresolved for 4 Months
I am deeply disappointed with the customer service provided by AEG, and I feel compelled to share my frustrating, god awful experience. Our AEG Combi Microwave, not even two years old, broke down through no fault of our own, and the ordeal began when we scheduled an engineer visit in November 2023.
The engineer, to their credit, was professional and polite, assessed the microwave twice and concluded it was irreparable. However, since December 2023, our attempts to resolve the issue with AEG have been nothing short of exasperating.
Despite the engineer company confirming multiple times that they sent a report directly to AEG's technical team, AEG claims to have no record of it. Multiple calls since January 2024 to AEG resulted in conflicting information and prolonged wait times. Promises of investigations and call-backs were never fulfilled.
We most recently followed up and called again beginning of March 2024, where we were told the matter should be with the technical team, but shockingly, there was no direct contact number that the representative could provide. Instead, we were told to use the customer support email but despite sending an email as directed, we received no response within the promised time frame. I have chased again today and apparently if I want something escalated, an agent can't do this for you - you need to keep emailing into the abyss of AEG inbox.
This lack of urgency and communication has left us with a broken microwave for FOUR MONTHS!!! And AEG's disregard for customer concerns is utterly disappointing. I used to hold AEG in high regard, but this experience has shattered my confidence in their products and customer service.
I strongly caution others to STAY CLEAR from AEG, as their customer service and support are shockingly inadequate. I will never purchase another AEG product, given their blatant disregard for customers and their failure to address our ongoing issue promptly.
