Decided to go with Paul Davies Appliances instead of my local currys. We are down in Gloucester but that did not put us of, Due to prices being cheaper and such good reviews it was a no brainer. I had a few issues after delivery, but they were the manufacturers faults. Paul Davies Appliances were so helpful and I would definitely use again. Thank you.

Had a bit of a disaster at home when our old dishwasher broke down today and tripped out our electric. I phoned Paul Davies appliances and had some fantastic advice from Alan - who recommended we look at a Bloomberg model that would come with a 5 year guarantee. Next step was down to the store and meeting up with Nicola who was very knowledgeable and went through the pros and cons of each model with us. We finally settled on the Bloomberg integrated model LDV63440. It’s being fitted on Tuesday and the old one taken away for recycling. Fantastic service from all at Paul Davies appliances and thanks for coming to our rescue again.

I called into Paul Davies today and had the best ever customer service from Nicola she was absolutely brilliant she was very knowledgeable regarding her job I went and purchased a new fridge freezer and wasn't sure what I was looking for but she put us all at ease and told us which freezer would be more suitable for myself and came away with just the right fridge freezer it was really nice and I was very happy with my purchase. I would just like to say thank you for all your help Nicola and I'm so glad I went there as Paul Davies Appliances came as a recommendation from my family.

We arrived to the showroom this morning. Two damsels in distress. Our fridge freezer (previously purchased from Paul Davies 15 years ago) had finally given up the ghost. We need the fridge to manage my medical condition and so purchase and delivery was fairly urgent. What can I say. Within 15 minutes Nicola had helped us select something suitable and Craig and Lee were able to fit our new appliance on the delivery van for a same day delivery. Absolutely amazing. These guys pulled it out of the bag. We are so very grateful. This is one of several purchases we have made at Paul Davies and I can honestly say we continue to be VERY HAPPY customers. Fridge is now on and relatively full. Thanks guys - you are a brilliant team.

Excellent service provided! Bought a range cooker and was outside delivery range. PDKA were accommodating in allowing me to arrange a courier collection and fully supportive to the courier at point of collection. Also exceptional price provided. Would strongly recommend!
