Wanted a combination microwave had to fit in a space in the kitchen cupboard. Size was important the assistant was most helpful and plenty of options available. Came backs few days later and saw the option chosen. Great service
Very friendly and informative staff. Listened to needs of customer. No heavy sales pressure to buy. Highly recommend this store.
Took a faulty kettle back today and Colin Smith’s couldn't have been more helpful. They refunded us straightaway so we could get a new kettle. This is an amazing shop for a relatively small town, much better service than Curry’s in Dundee and you get personal help from the staff.

Thank you for the 5-star review Felicity. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave it.
We’re pleased we could get the faulty kettle sorted quickly for you and help you choose a replacement without any hassle. It means a lot to hear that you value both the range we offer and the personal service from our team.
Thank you again for shopping local and your support!
First class service. Great selection of products at very competitive prices. Staff very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive. As a returning customer I would not hesitate to recommend.

We had a delivery to our house of a new rangemaster cooker. Unfortunately, Colin Smith's delivery people damaged a brand new and rather costly Dekton worktop during installation. Colin Smith dealt with the matter very professionally and courteously and within just 3 days fully paid our Contractor for a replacement top and installation charges. This is clearly a superb and highly professional local business and because this sort of incident can happen from time to time, it is well worth buying from an outfit such as this.
I telephoned Colin M Smith on Friday and asked if I could order a washing machine over the phone as I had seen one that I liked on their website. The sales colleague was very helpful and knowledgeable and my new washing machine was delivered installed and the old one taken away on the Tuesday afternoon! It was expertly installed and not one bit of mess or packaging left at my home! Once again the delivery was exceptional and the two guys so friendly and helpful! Definitely shop here again as apart from the excellent service that I received, the prices of the products were reasonable as was the delivery, installation and recycling! Thankyou all so much!

Great experience as normal with someone local. When my tumble dryer stopped working during this recent heavy rain I ordered my new one on line and was delivered first thing Tuesday morning. Great service as always.
Visited this store on 11 December to look for new washine machine. Very helpful staff. One I wanted was in Forfar warehouse and delivered first thing Saturday morning, packaging and old machine uplifted. Great service.

We’re delighted you were happy with the service and the team in store. Getting the exact washing machine you wanted quickly from our Forfar warehouse — and delivered first thing Saturday — is exactly the sort of thing we try to make easy for customers.

After making an initial phone enquiry, I was guided to a sister store, which stocked what I was looking for, saving me a wasted journey. Expert advice & help with measurements within the store helped me make an informed decision as to which model to buy. It was delivered on time, and care was taken to help me position it correctly. Very pleased with both purchase and service.

Our delivery lads will be glad to know their polite and efficient service stood out. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and if there’s anything we can do to turn your next visit into a 5-star one, we’d be delighted to help.
We used to go to Forfar from Dundee to shop at Colin M Smiths. Happily for us they now have a shop in Dundee.
Staff were very knowledgeable about the appliances and very friendly. I prefer to shop local and with smaller retailers. It’s a much better shopping experience in my opinion.
So please support them in their new premises. They are good on price and can’t fault the service. Definitely 5 stars from us. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Irene, thank you for your kind words and for choosing to shopping local with us! We're happy to be back in Dundee and hope you enjoy cooking with your new Blomberg cooker!
Following a stressful weekend with a broken washing machine, phoned Colin Smiths Monday morning at 9.15 - new machine fitted before 10.30am - absolutely amazing service. 100% recommend, thank you so much.
A very welcoming and local place to shop! Plenty of choice in kitchen appliances and other household items and a well setup tv display. Recently purchased a Rangemaster cooker and Tv. Very impressed! Great staff too…
I wouldn’t buy electrical goods from any other firm. The prices are good- occasionally higher than the big chain stores- but that is always offset by the customer service. The installation service is second to none. Absolutely first class.
