Absolutely terrible company
Absolutely terrible company. I never write a bad review because I always want to explore every opportunity to give the company a chance to rectify any problems but in this case, I felt compelled to.
Purchased a range cooker in September 23. When it arrived and the feet put on, it looked damaged but being in desperate need of a cooker, I had it installed. It worked well up until January 24 when the oven temperature switch had blown. When I contacted ferre, they said that I needed to take a photo of the serial number located on the back of the oven. This is a range cooker which had been built into the space so, along with 3 big lads, the oven was moved out of the tight space carefully. Doing so, the oven door front glass smashed on the oven which must have been caused by it being lifted up over the wooden floor which had been post-oven installation. Upon moving the oven, the serial number was not on the back of the oven but inside the oven door and so was given wrong advice about the oven having to be moved, which would not have caused the glass to smash. I contacted ferre who said thay they didn't actually need the serial number anyway and that the broken glass door was my problem. After some back and forth about this, I agreed to pay the 49.99 for a new piece of glass from them because at this point we were in April and I have 3 children in the house with no working oven for 4 months. They sent all the parts, including the new door and an engineer from an outsourced electrical firm were sent out to fix. When enquiring with the engineer, he was not even an electrician but had the oven totally to bits, messing with the electrics but tbh, at this stage I just wanted the oven working. He fitted the switch and the new glass, switched it on and whilst he didn't get it up to temperature, it was working and so I thought 'happy days'. The day after, I prepared our first roasting joint in 6 months, in my brand new oven which had not worked for longer than it had worked. With pork joint happily crisping away, I got on with preparing the veggies. With my back turned to the oven I heard an almighty bang and upon inspecting, it was clear that the inner glass of the door had exploded, with glass showering the beautiful looking piece of pork. Being very annoyed, I sent a number of emails to ferre about now replacing this oven because I had had so many different problems with it, and it clearly not being fit for purpose. They have now ignored my communications. This is a less then 12 month old, brand new, grade A rated oven which as stated, I have now been without for longer than I have been with. I would absolutely avoid like the plague.
