Comet Clearance Store, Wembley.

Advantages: Could find a bargain
Disadvantages: What you see is what they have.

Comet have a Clearance store at a retail park close to me ( its right next to Wembley Stadium actually). There are no elaborate displays, none of the usual inviting colour schemes or layouts, it just looks like an abandoned shop thats being used to clear stock which is basically what it is, just rows of appliances divided up into washing machines, cookers, dishwashers, dryers etc and a section for TVs and other entertainment goods. The products they sell are shop soiled, returns, refurbished and cosmetically damaged in some way. Each item has a sticker telling you what the problem is and everything you buy comes with a full 12 month guarantee. I know these are uncertain times and a 12 month guarantee is only worth anything as long as Comet stay in business, but its no different to the 12 month guarantee that comes with a full ...

Review of Comet (Shop)

That's Comet NONsense

Advantages: Cheap, good range
Disadvantages: They lie!

Over the Christmas period our fridge freezer broke down. Against our better judgement, and only because we felt we really needed refrigeration with 2 babies in the house, we ventured out into the post-Christmas sales. We found a great model (which I'll review in a few months time!) in Comet. I will say, it was a great price, at only £499 for an LG all-singing-all-dancing USA-style unit. But, actually buying the thing was not easy as the store was heaving. Eventually my husband and myself managed to tackle a passing assistant and pin him in a corner where he couldn't escape! The assistant SEEMED very helpful. We pointed out the model we wanted and he looked on the computer system to see when it could be delivered, and most importantly, plumbed in, since it had an ice-maker/dispenser. We pointed out that (a) we had never had a plumbed ...

Review of Comet (Shop)

Refreshingly good service from Comet.

Advantages: Cheap, efficient, helpful.
Disadvantages: Small range, not enough delivery staff.

mentioned, one had to have a good look round first to find some things, not helped by quite dim lighting. Comet have a website: http://www.comet.co.uk. This is worth a look, and whilst it is quite busy, the special offers that come and go do seem very, very good. I don't know about any other Comet stores, but I take my hat off to the Barnsley Branch, happy, helpful staff that told the truth (they did deliver next day) and seemed to know their stuff. The Comet van, duly turned up on time and the guy was quick, efficient and knowledgable, my only gripe is that he was on his own, so if I had not offered to help carry the washing machine indoors (which did not help my back) he would have had a really difficult job doing it alone. He stayed to make sure that when we switched on, all was working and took time to explain what bits we had to ...
