I bought my Denon hi-fi through Comet, then I bought a copy of what hifi magazine, phoned around a bit and found it 50 quid less. I had to email Comet twice, saying that the competitor had it in stock cheaper, and that they were a proper shop not mail order, and in ten mile radius. They mailed me back and gave me 50 pounds off. So I am ...  Read the complete review

After being asked to pay an extra £20.00 to have a washing machine delivered by mail order catelogue, I decided to cancel and bought one online from Comet. They said they can deliver in 3-7 days and you can choose the day and time am/pm. The machine I bought was the same price as the other one but for a much better model, and ...  Read the complete review

Hi there, I'm Seventeen years old and just finished a temporary Christmas job at Comet. I've been frantically saving up for a car since around June 99' and after handing in my CV (what little of it there was!!!) I had a call from Comet to attend an interview. I got to the store with 5 or 10 minutes to spare so as to impress my ...  Read the complete review

Comet I feel are the leading home and electrical store in the country! They always have excellent pricing and superb products on offer, and I was particularly impressed by their customer service. The staff are very helpful, and actually know what they are talking about, which makes a change. I recently purchased a Pioneer CD Player, ...  Read the complete review

If you're looking to buy a mainstream product like a washing machine, TV or video, then its worth checking just the front page of http://www.comet.co.uk every so often. They do have good deals every so often, but there aren't many of them, and they are usually highlighted on the front page. I bought a Whirlpool washing machine for £200 on ...  Read the complete review

On three seperate occasions i have been stupid enough to buy from Comet, and each time in one way or another they have failed to deliver simple customer service. Lets assume you accept their inability to employ decent knowledgable staff - as this seems to be a High Street trend among the large chains nowadays, and lets pretend that we all enjoy ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be one of the greatest off-line stores out there in the world today! The prices really are unbeatable off-line. The product range is really great, it caters for everyone and what they are willing to spend. Great shop. But....... ..Yes there is a but. I'm an 18 year old college student, who usually goes shopping with a ...  Read the complete review

Although I have been a Comet High Street purchaser for years, I will never buy from their website ever again. I have made many major purchasers from Comet over the years. My first Playstation, my Dolby Surround stereo, my DVD player and many more. So when they announced their online store, I was eager to find something to purchase ...  Read the complete review

The shop assistants at my local Comet store may as well have been aliens as far as I am concerned. They certainly did not seem to understand me at all. I do appreciate that Christmas is a busy time for all of the big stores, tension is high and the pressure is on but the shop assistants that I spoke to at Comet in Ashford, Kent on the ...  Read the complete review

I have been a regular customer of Comet for many years now and have always found their prices and customer service to be at least as good as any other high street electrical retailer. I have always been into electrical goods and nearly every new piece of equipment they come up with so over the years I've bought TV's, Hi-Fi's, Computer ...  Read the complete review

I have to firstly point out that I really detest Comet as a store, and will never buy from them unless it is a last resort. The prices are not too bad (about the same or slightly more than Curry’s’ in my experience) and the range of goods on offer is also quite impressive, concentrating more on household goods that state-of-the-art ...  Read the complete review

Comet is one of the leading Electrical shops in the UK. They stock most popular makes and have reasonable prices. You can find Comet in most cities and towns, infact you will probably find more the one in most of the big cities. Comet are in competition with otehr shops like Currys and Dixons so they always try to keep their prices ...  Read the complete review

This story might stretch back a couple of years, but it only recently came to my attention. I bought a Packard Bell p.c. from comet a couple of years ago for over £1000 and everything seemed fine. That is until recently when my modem was playing up. I called in my local p.c. repair man, who after opening up the desktop unit, showed me that all ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Goodmans television from Comet just over a year ago and paid for the extended five year warranty plan. This, I was led to believe, would cover me for all repairs, faults, accidental damage, etc. Recently, the remote control to the television was accidently smashed by my 8 month old son and was left in so many pieces that I threw it ...  Read the complete review

Two recent examples of how NOT to train your staff. A couple of weeks ago I drove by a comet store and noticed a sign in the window, advertising a 28" wide-screen TV as a manager's special for £229.00. Since we were just looking for a new telly, I thought I'd pop in and have a look at it. I asked one of the sales assistant ...  Read the complete review

Whether or not Comet is a better place to shop than Curry's, PC World, Dixon's etc seems to be a bit of a lottery depending on where you live and the knowledgeability of the staff. However, one salient point which I have found relevant in making the choice occurs when the "spiel" for the extended warranty begins. In any of the ...  Read the complete review

Comets price are not bad. When compared to other high street stores. The biggest moan that I have is that they charge £12.50 to deliver and do not keep stocks of anything at the local branch. I often go and browse if I near my local Comet, Just to go and look lovingly at my dream washing machine that I can not afford at the moment. I ...  Read the complete review

Comet is one of the best electrical retailers around, both on and off line. Their range is very extensive and their prices are great too. I bought a beko fridge freezer last month, it cost me £30 cheaper than anywhere else, and because I bartered, I got the delivery free. And I must admit I find it annoying that you are still ...  Read the complete review
