COMET are deemed to be on of the cheapest and best large electrical dealers around, cheapest, certainly competitive, best service - definitely not. Three years ago when I bought my first house, I needed a PC, and after checking out a few retailers ended up in my local Comet. I found what I wanted, a very nice Siemens Nixdorf ...  Read the complete review

Comet, you know where to come. That's what the ad says, but is it right? In terms of price, then probably. In terms of hassle with extended warranties and inexperienced sales staff... definitely. Let's start with the plusses,with some minus's (or is it minusi?) - Comet seem to react to prices quicker than ...  Read the complete review

I've read a lot of opinions where it is the sales staff that is letting a store down, and Comet is no exception. ~ The Plan ~ I wanted a DVD player, no more than £200, and since Comet were offering three DVDs with every DVD player they sell it was obviously the best choice. Comet is quite far from where I live, and since I ...  Read the complete review

Comet the electrical retailers, one of the biggest in the country. I've been into the Comet superstore quite a few times and found the prices quite reasonable in comparision to other large retailers, the staff also seem quite happy to help and also they seem to know what they are talking about on the various electrical products that they ...  Read the complete review

I have recently bought my first home, and I bought every single electrical appliance from Comet. However, I will never, ever shop there again the customer service I received was so awful. Whilst shopping the staff were ever so attentive, someone helped me the whole way around the store (but then I was buying a washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, ...  Read the complete review

About two weeks ago we had a problem with our gas cooker and decided it was safer to buy a new one rather than getting ours repaired. As it decided to break about 8pm in the evening I decided I would hunt around the Internet looking for the best deal instead on hunting around in the shops in my dinner hour or after a hard day at work. I ...  Read the complete review

I am going to be very unorthodox and actually praise an electrical store !! My Story -------- I am fortunate to have a wonderful husband who can't bear to see his wife suffering the toils of everyday household disasters ! Bearing this is mind, I approached said husband sheepishly with crooked grin on face, (I ...  Read the complete review

Hi, I bought a 28" Sony Trinitron Widescreen television from Comet just before Christmas 2001. The TV itself is fine...now. I have always used Comet in the past, but never bought anything of this value. The TV was worth £1200! and of course with this sort of purchase I decided to take out the 5 star warranty. The main reason I took out this ...  Read the complete review

I'm sure Comet has its fans. I bet people have bought stuff from them over the years and had totally trouble free service from them. Frankly, nothing on earth would drag me into this appalling excuse for a retailer now after my most recent experience. We have had a long and stormy relationship. For a long time, they were the only ...  Read the complete review

At Christmas, my mum offered to buy me a freezer. I checked all the local stores and online with the usual suspects. The best deal was through Comet online who offered a 4 cubic feet upright freezer with 4 compartments for just £120. Equivalent freezers were more like £160-200 with other people so I went ahead and ordered it. I was sent an email ...  Read the complete review

As much as I'd like to praise Comet, I can't. I used to work there and the standard of customer service is appalling. They aren't interested in selling products, where they make the real profit is warranties. We used to be under threat of dismissal if our individual daily warranty sales were less than 30% of our total sales ...  Read the complete review

I’m writing this to warn all of you about Comet insurance. I purchased a 28” TOSHIBA COLOUR TV in Oct 1998 at a cost £799.00, at the same time I purchased the Comet five star Super cover extended warranty which cost another £200 apx. Which if you don’t claim you can receive your money back, as long as you remember to ...  Read the complete review

Just after Christmas I purchased from Comet a JVC Micro hi-fi. This was a clearance model, and because it was on display, I got about £25 off (it was a micro unit, rrp about £135, I got for about £110). All was well and good, but the remote control on display with it was not the correct one. It did the basic functions of On/Off and the ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased a Panasonic SJMR200 minidisc from Comet direct(over the phone). I was offered insurance, 3 years @£29.99 or five years @£49.99. I was told that with the five years insurance I would get my money back if I did not claim, so I opted for this insurance. However, over the phone I was told none of the following, and only that I ...  Read the complete review

This shop has to be the worst Electrical Store around. Everytime I am in the shop I am made to either feel like a shoplifter or that I can't afford anything. Comet sells all the normal electrical items - computers, games consols, phones, video recorders, freezers, cookers etc. The staff in this shop are like hawks. ...  Read the complete review

I have to say I can't stand this shop. The range of things is alright but the staff let it down every time. The Comet that is near me is next door to Currys. When we go to Currys (which I like as this shop is great), we usually go next door as to see if there are any deals on or the product is cheaper. We went to buy a TV and ...  Read the complete review

Comet - good brands of all types of electrical appliances at reasonable prices. I give Comet this much credit, but a word of warning is do not opt for their interest free credit schemes available on most major appliances, unless you really have to. The credit option is run through Time Retail Finance (TRF), as a subsidiary of the ...  Read the complete review

Alongside the other major high street electrical retailers such as Dixons and Currys, Comet must rank as one of the biggest names out there. Part of the Kingfisher chain of stores, which also includes such stores as Woolworths, Superdrug, Peacocks and the like, Comet specialises in basically everything you would expect from a major ...  Read the complete review

Right, before I get into any sort of detail here, I must make one thing clear. With the possible exception of the odd one or two innocent sales persons, no-one in the entire Comet organisation gives two figs what you buy when you enter one of their stores. You could be after a widescreen TV or a hairdryer; management don't care. As long as ...  Read the complete review

Well Comet certainly has a reputation in my opinion, but not for the good deals. I thought that with a company this big it would invest in good customer service. I live in a Valley Town, and the nearest store is in Merthyr. I have been there on several occassions, the first time I went there I was inondated with staff and sales people. ...  Read the complete review
