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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I am at the moment in the process of writing this review on Dixon’s; I haven’t a clue where to start though. You see I have already done a review on PC World the Sister store to Dixon’s that allegedly specialises in PCs. I will plod on however to try to inform you and warn you about Dixon’s: I will start with ...  Read the complete review

I don't want you to think ill of me, but I used to be an electrical salesperson for Dixons. Yes those smiley suited cheese monsters that pounce on you within five seconds of entering the store - well, that was me. To be fair, I was hardly under-qualified for the role, having done a year's stint with the now-defunct Homepower ...  Read the complete review

I have been waiting and waiting to get a Playstation 2 for ages now, and finally reached the desired amount thanks to all my reads from my loyal friends and comrades on Dooyoo. (Thanks to everyone, I have spent many a night playing and thinking of you all, excuse me while I wipe a grateful tear from my blurry eye). The cheque came through the door ...  Read the complete review

The main problem with Dixons is the staff. They seem incapable of listening to what you are saying to them this is especiallt true if you are a woman. ...  Read the complete review

Junk mail is one of the true bains of my life , there are few things more annoying than the letterbox being jammed full of usless information. But where does this mail come from? I am one of these sad individuals that ALWAYS ticks the 'do not send me any more information' box on any form I care to fill in. But sometimes information about ...  Read the complete review
