Service was decent but the wait for a new appliance was horrifying. Waited over an hour just for a single item to be replaced because the guys couldnt find it. Should have better stock management in place.

Am just not soo happy, I bought a stove, hobb and ove in November 2020.after two month the glass on the hobb just detached. The oven glass is loose everytime you open the oven it moves. Oven rubber is burning every time am using the oven just not too happy with Defy. I bought the brand because I knew it was a strong and trusted bran but not anymore.

Good morningI would like to thank your technician for his prompt service and assisting us effectivelyAlso want to thank him for taking the time to explain certain queries we had of our fridge.The new part also fits perfect and we are extremely happy that certain features of the fridge are working again.

Substandard products that just do not last and when they do give up the ghost Defy really could not be bothered. Our microwave had to be attended to twice in the first three months of ownership and has now finally given up the ghost. First thing out of the blocks a regional manager told me is that the microwave is out of warranty. So what? Not even a question on what is the problem, how may I assist, nothing like that. Its still not working and its fairly new and it needs to be fixed but with such a attitude I most vertainly will never buy Defy again - it seems you CANNOT rely of Defy.

Very bad communication. No emails available anywhere, would be useful when requesting quotes and being able to attach pictures for example. They say they will call you but dont so have to continously follow up. I ended up driving by daily and talking to them in person to get things done.

Will not recommend this brand. We bought a defy washing machine and its not working for 3 months. This machine is only 11 months old. Its been a struggle to log a call, the technician eventually pitch and informed us the motherboard went. 2 months later and yet to date no response, no courtesy calls. Each time we phoned, we got they will be there tomorrow. The technician isnt much help either, he will check and see if the parts is there... Apparently he is still checking!! Rather refund us so that we can buy a brand we can rely on. #very bad customer service.

Review №32

The technician, Quinton, that services the West Rand area has excuses and empty promises every day. We logged a callout 10 days ago for our washing machine. The turnaround time is allegedly 2 - 3 days. The service centre has to date never called us to confirm the appointment date. Today is the first day that I have received a call back from the service centre and this is only due to lodging a complaint. The techician is always on his way to you. Then he has car problems or is stuck in a thunderstorm. When contacting the service manager, Jan van Zyl, about these ongoing problems he merely relays messages between the client and the technician. As the client I can call the technician myself. It would be nice if he could sort out the problem instead being a message man. Send us another technician instead!

Review №38

In December a Defy technician came to our home. He damaged our kitchen floor whilst working on our oven. I afterwards escalated the matter to Jan van Zyl a manager. He told me to get quote for the repairs of my damaged floor. I did so. Afterwards I was advised that I must take up the matter with the technician. Wow..... That is pathetic. I must now deal with their technician whom I did contact but this chap doesnt seem to have the money to do the repairs. What it seems to me is that Defy uses eternal contractors who doesnt have the nesseacary insurance in place when they come out to do jobs at once home. BEWARE if your property is damaged or affected by their poor workmanship they dump the problem on their employees or contractors. The forms I got from the technician was however forms saying he acts for Defy.Besides the oven issue I also had a Defy fridge that gave me frequent trouble. I decided to buy Bosch fridge now in instead. The Bosch has much longer compressor guarantee and is also more effeciant on electricity. Before this ordeal I was a typical client that just believed in Defy. Now I tell everyone where I go what Defy do to their clients.Defy is not the top notch company I knew years ago. Where everything in my house used to be Defy I will now never buy any of their products again.I will give the Defy technician two more weeks to see what plan he will make on behalf of his big bully employer and if the issue isnt resolved I will escalate this matter further.

I purchased and stocked a defy fridge from Makro which did it work since Day1 .After numerous 🤙, spoilt contents, and 3 days later, I discovered that Makro did not log the fault with Defy. The job, which has a 2-3 days turnaround time, is assigned to a defy technician,who according to Defy call center, is meant to come out today. NO contact. Shocking and disappointed with Defy and demand a refund for spokit freezer contents

My wife complaint for more than a year that sometimes the oven does not bake the cakes in preset times other times it bakes same cakes perfect.I used the oven myself now for some time with meat to find that forsure sometimes perfect othertimes not now I try to get it sorted to be told it is for my own account.I dont think buying a defy was a good choice as they claim there products is.

Review №59

I would rate them 0 star but there isnt a option for that, Staff had me sitting in the waiting area for an hour not telling me whats going on with my collection, It was a Staff purchase made in KZN however pick up was for JHB, My wife called them yesterday asking what documentation would be needed and i went to them with what they had told us, An hour later i get the paperwork to go collect the order only to wait a further 30mins, Time is money if this is how you deal with a simple pick up i dont want to know how the rest of the company operates. Furthermore to that there should be allocated smoking areas for this company as it isnt very hygienic or professional to have people smoking at the entrances of the building. I hope i never have to use the Midrand branch again ever in my life.

DEFY is the worst brand you can purchase. It has the worst after Sales service ever. We bought a Defy fridge on the 08/10/2016. On Delivery the units door didnt want to close they replaced it with new unit. New unit didnt last 3 months then this and that broke we called Defy few times every time they repair something and the fridge work for a month or two then it is broken again. They replaced it again in 2017 new one broke in December we called them on the 19th of December 2018 and only on the 09 of January 2019 a technician came to just see that we are not lying the thing is broken. Service Manager Lucas phoned and said he is not happy with the report he wants to send out a other tecnician and the Tecnician would come today the 15th of January 2019. I tried to phone them few times today they just dont answer or they put you through to someone and then just simply hung up. DEFYs Slogan you can Rely on Defy. And that is a lie.

Very bad service. Rather buy a Chinese product. I couldnt even get through to the spares department for 3 days now. And the helpdesk simply doesnt care if you get through to spares or not. They simply say transfering you now every time.useless bunch. Sorry to say but thats my opinion.

Worse service ever. Midrand branch doesnt answer their phones or they answer just long enough to drop it. I live in Johannesburg and I had to call the Durban office for a quote then I had to drive to the Midrand offices. I purchased a part for R1200 which wasnt even in packaging but put into a sandwich bag.
