Dixons Reviews

Earlier this year I bought a JVC 28"tv DVD Player and Video Recorder. I bought 2years coverplan (which I feel I have to mention was not forced or talked into) and arranged delivery for the following weekend. When the delivery arrived on time and the delivery me bought it in the house I noticed something missing, the DVD player. I ...

Palm Zire 71 - a snap! - Advantages: Fantastic display, Amazingly fast, Great apps / dinky camera! - Disadvantages: Plastic shell / stylus, No bluetooth, Possibly unstable joystick

Be very careful when you are taking out this Extra 4 year cover.. I had major problems with my old PC.. I had 6 visits from Engineers inside 3 months.. Finally they decided to write it off.. The Mastercare Agreement I had at that time covered The PC and the Monitor.. They now cover each item seperately, which should cause less ...

I recently bought an all singing all dancing scientific calculator from Dixons bucket of waste matter at the main entrance for the grand sum of £5. I read that there were a total of 130 odd different calculations and quite stupidly thought that Binary to Decimal would be one of them. Well when i checked the instructions i tried and tried but could ...

Bought a Creative Labs Jukebox about 18 months ago for 269 pounds (well my wife bought it and the instore display confused her into paying an extra 69 pounds for 4 years coverplan). Anyway 9 weeks ago the jukebox got broken (case came apart with broken screw fittings, screen was broken and batteries would no longer charge it did still play though ...

Dixons - service from the 80s - Advantages: Warm, Dry, Made of bricks - Disadvantages: Price, Products, Staff

CALLING ALL TOSHIBA TVS! HAVE YOU GOT A FAULTY COMPONENT INSIDE YOU ??? Has anyone recently bought a Toshiba tv from Curries or any store within the last 2-5 months? Mine lasted only 2 months and then I found out that a faulty batch of components ahd been used on these TVs. IS YOURRS GOING TO DO THE SAME OR HAS IT ALREADY???? ...

PC World (part of Dixons group) is the most frustrating shop I have ever dealt with, my PC which was under guarantee constantly shut down for no apparent reason. I had three engineers look at it in my home and two visits to the store with my machine before they found and admitted that there was a fault. Every step of the way was a hard ...

I bought a sony laptop with a two year warranty, fair enough, first of all one year and one month later the charger breaks down, so i phone them and they say contact sony and i do, sony charges me £12.50 to talk to them and i cant get this back as its not covered by the warranty! ok good start hey? well two months later my laptop falls down the ...

Dixons has many stores... but the store my opinion is (mainly) going to be based on is the Leamington Spa store. We frequently go to Dixons, though I don't know why, just to have a look round, and occasionally browsing comes to buying, and this is where I find the problems. We went there to buy our digital camera, so ...

I have never liked Dixon?s. Ever. But in the high street there is always a very limited group of companies who sell electronic equipment. So about 3 years ago, I found myself in Dixon?s looking for a Minidisk player. I bought one, and I got a good deal on accessories because I took out the Mastercare Cover plan. Things went well for about 2 years ...

NB: DSG Retail LTD. Consists of the following companies: PC World. Dixons. Currys. The Link. @Jakarta(Little known computer store apparently). 20% of Freeserve (Used to be full ownership). I won't give my life story, but in short I was unfortunate enough to be employed by Dixons for nearly 2 years (part-time, as I'm a ...

I have worked for Dixons for over 2 years now and have to say I have had my fair share of scraps and bruises from customers. I recently read about someone who took out our extended warranty on a PC and was very happy with the service and happy they took it out because their monitor blew up after the one year manufacturers warranty had run out. ...

This is quite a 'late' review, and if its read in a years time you may wonder what ITV Digital was, if so, ask a freind! I wanted an ITV Digital box, to be honest just for UK (g)Old (episodes of Bottom after a night out!) and UK Play / MTV for fun. Also the normal signal was lame in our area so it would be great to get stereo ...

I really dispair when I think of Pc's and Dixons in the same thought. They really are a poor PC provider for such a high profile High Street Electrical Retailer. I think they should stick to Irons, Kettles, Cameras, TV's and Stereos and leave the PC market and all their peripherals to someone who has :- a) Researched the ...

DIXONS, CURRYS, PC WORLD & THE LINK are pretty great dudes - Advantages: Friendly staff, Great bargains to be had, As part of THE LINK, PC WORLD & CURRYS, if they sell out in 1, get it in another - Disadvantages: Wont scratch your back when its itchy?, Well, I couldnt think of any

"D-d-d-Dixons!" sang the even-more-than-usually annoying TV advert a couple of years ago. Almost right, but the upbeat atmosphere and smiling customers (remember the Demon Headmaster? "I think Dixons is a womderful shop, and this is the best branch we've ever been to") were utterly out of place. Instead of a rather feeble ...

My story is a bit out of date as the events took place over a year ago when the Techno chain was still in existence, but as a newcomer to Dooyoo, I hope that sharing it now may be of at least some benefit to fellow members or visitors. The subject of the opinion is Dixons, but bear with me until I explain the context. It began when I ...

We have recently bought a Packard Bell iconnect from Dixons, and what a nightmare it turn out to be. When we got it home and unpacked the first instruction to us was to make a backup of the systems files on the CD recorder, this we were told will release extra space on the Hard drive. So some blank CDs were bought and the task was started, the ...

This shop is terrible. I used to like this shop. How stupid could I have been. The shop assistants are not trained in any way. I know more about electronics them some of them. This is really not useful. There are excellent at telling you at what you should spend your money on but they can’t tell you why its all just ...
