Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 431 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Consumers consistently highlight the positive interactions with the staff, who are described as friendly, polite, and professional during fittings and service. Reviewers are very satisfied with the entire process, from the initial sales contact all the way through to the quick delivery and expert installation of appliances. However, some people mentioned that when reporting issues, the service turnaround time could be slower than the advertised 24-hour callout. A few other people also felt that one instance involved an explanation being dismissed after they had communicated an issue via email and voice message.

Fast, efficient and helpful

Fast, efficient and helpful service all round. From Elaine on the phone who helped me get a shorter contract due changing circumstances, and Ricky and Adam who took away my old broken machine, fitted the new one in twenty minutes, and fixed some slight issues while they were at it. All we're lovely to chat to and a credit to the company. After 15 years with Forbes I can't fault them.

I have been renting from Forbes for years! Always very helpful and accommodating.
Toby and Ray came today with my order which I miscommunicated and the engineers were excellent as they understood the error and got on the phone and sorted it all out for me there and then. So left me with what I wanted and I was happy and pleased with the service as usual.

I have had a washing machine contract…

I have had a washing machine contract for 7 years without issues. Machine recently brokedown and a service engineer was requested. This took 3 /4 days and he popped in for a minute and asked me what happened. I repeated what i had wrote on the email and voice message i sent, then he condemned it and left. I had a call to discuss an exchange and one was organised asap. This turned out to be Monday, which would be 8 days since machine broke. I required the machine asap and after a too and throw with despatch, Sat morning was agreed. Delivery and setup Technicians arrived prompt and proffessionally installed my washer and removed the broken one. Great job guys, good work and very quick.
I rent to get the quickest best service and the website says 24hrs callout. I am happy overall, but this has made me consider buying one and just replacing it when it breaks. In the meantime, i will continue using Forbes, as they are very good. I would of prefered a quicker service, but it is still a good service. Plus i have a new bigger machine which looks great. Cheers
