Very pleased with the delivery time of my portable air conditioning unit during a heatwave. Couldn’t work out why the accessories were delivered separately,I’m sure there’s good reason.

Website misleading

I fervently believe their website misleads. Nowhere does it say that the product I bought needed to be fitted by a professional yet when the product arrives, firstly I can’t lift it and secondly wouldn’t be able to fit it due to mobility issues and finally I would need to cut holes in my bedroom wall. The so called customer service dept refuse to allow a return so I’m stuck with something I can’t fit or use. They must be doing so badly as a company that they have to adopt this stance of no refunds, the revenue must be important to them. I thoroughly recommend not entertaining this company it will end in tears as they honestly could not give a damn about us as customers. Be aware they are shocking

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your review.

We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with your order. This isn’t the level of service or quality we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing this must have been.

We’d like to look into this further and work toward resolving it for you. However, we’ve been unable to locate your Sales Order with the information currently provided.

Could you please share your Sales Order Number or Postcode so we can investigate and get back to you as soon as possible?

Kind regards,
Dyann

Be very careful

This company caught my eye as being one of the few companies that could supply a portable air conditioner in the current heatwave.
A couple of days before delivery was due they contacted me and offered next day express delivery at no charge if I agreed - which I did.
The next day they contacted me to say there was a glitch and the delivery would be put back to the original date. Not happy, two days work lost for this delivery.
The courier company allocated for delivery seem to operate a 12 hour delivery window, it seems they expect you to sit around all day then they turn up when the see fit. I’m sure most other couriers have the decency to inform you of a 2-3 hour delivery window.
Not the sort of treatment I expected when paying £24.95 for the service.
Would I recommend AirconDirect………..no!
Would I buy from AirconDirect again…….no!

Not a great experience but improved after some time

I am amending my review,I had to show proof of a phone call that I'd been told to buy universal window kit even though the exact same one was included with the air conditioner as it was said it wouldn't fit my type of window,after several emails and a screen shot,they told me keep item no need to return and refunded me,so 1 star has become 3. Now so far my unit has shown no issues and I'm happy with the ell como. I will warn anyone that the phoenix number,check with your provider before calling as it's premium and the call cost me £37 shocking. I will have to buy an add on to be able to call them should there be any technical issues.

Deceitful sales

The aircon that was booked for delivery from *2 weeks ago*, is last minute pushed by *1 more week* due to supply issues. If you didn't have it in supply, why are you promising delivery dates and tricking customers (and also taking their payment)? I have a very old pet who is very disturbed by the heat, and I would have already got hold of another one if I knew my waiting time would at least be 3 weeks (and there is no guarantee that this is happening next week it looks like). Wrong promises, deceitful sales.

As a 'good will', they provide you with £10 (for a £814 product!) to be spent in store... Thanks but no thanks, why should I be tricked again?

My doggies enjoyed!

Bit Excellent service except delivery. I bought an air conditioner for my doggies during the recent heatwave, and it has made a huge difference. They are much more comfortable and enjoying the cool air. The unit was easy to set up and works very well. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you! 👍🏻

Our portable aircon was delivered early after a text asking if I wanted it sooner and with the heatwave absolutely! It came a few days early, and since my room has been an icebox! It works perfectly and would recommend to anyone to get an aircon here!

Disappointed by Akai air cooler

Great service from the company but the item -Akai air cooler -hardly feeling like it’s sending cool air out . My normal fan is doing a better job . If you put water out the fridge in it is slightly better but for the price of the item it was very disappointing.

Aircon purhase

Ordering was simple and easy. Delivery was spot on with courier providing a 1 hour time slot which they stuck to. I purchased 2 7000btu units for our bedrooms (2 doubles) and they are brilliant. We have frenchies and they are loving it!

Terrible service

Slow, rubbish service- 2 orders placed and both late to arrive. Customer service is a waste of time and just fob you off. Would avoid this company and their other group companies

The machine itself is incredible

The machine itself is incredible. Well built, very easy to use, and looks good too. For me, the only downfall is the exhaust tube is bulky, difficult to manoeuvre, comes undone from the unit bracket and is not long enough. A longer, more flexible and smaller bore tube would be better.

AVOID!

Pathetic customer service and a horrible scam are being run. Paid almost 1k for a portable air-con and extra for delivery on a specific date. The item was then unlisted, and no communication. I called to be told it's out of stock, no help. After complaining, the advisor gave me another date. I called again today to ensure everything is delivered, to be told they can't help. They stole my money and never delivered any products.
