If I could leave 0 stars I would, bought a LG fridge freezer (delivered 7th march 2024), when they delivered it they carelessly bent in the back of the fridge and told me it would be fine when bent back, stupidly I took their word for it...
Since the fridge freezer went on, it froze everthing in the bottom of it and the temperature in the middle fluctuated between below freezing and 10 degrees without it being opened or changing the settings, I tried several different thermometers to check that this wasnt just inaccuracy of the thermometers i was using, it wasn't, the final straw was then it froze raw meat that was in the meat drawer in the FRIDGE! Contacted AO about this fault and from the get go they were unhelpful, the attitude was rude and demeaning, I had, had it just over a week at that point and was well within the cooling off period, they told me they wanted an engineer to look at it but that was scheduled for 2 weeks later (27th March) - you can't leave someone without a fridge for that long especially when it was them that caused the fault in the first place, they should have just swapped/refunded it in full. Upon saying that I wanted to send it back as I was well within my rights to as I was still in the cooling off period, they said that because they didn't know if there was a fault they were keeping 30% of the refund for THEIR TROUBLE or if i had another off them they would only keep 10%! We will be taking this to the small claims court because they cannot do this! Absolute con artists DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! £870 fridge freezer and only got £631 refund! This will be taken further BUT what is even more interesting is that the drivers that came to collect it from AO had never heard of this being done before and were absolutely disgusted by the attitude and "resolution" that the company had come to, so I'd love to know why this was done to me and your EMPLOYEES had never heard of this being done before! Sounds like you're making it up as you go along! This will be taken further, and I would never reccommmend or use this company again, BEWARE of buying from this awful business - I got a replacement from a small local firm 2 days later that gave 100% better service than these con merchants, shop local and force these robbing and stealing companies out of business!

Tip for consumers:
Con merchants absolutely avoid at all costs, currently taking the matter up with the credit card company.
