Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 100 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Customers frequently reported receiving products that were damaged, faulty, or of poor quality, often arriving with missing parts or failing shortly after purchase, such as ovens failing, gantries missing fittings, or items breaking quickly. Many people also experienced extremely poor customer service, characterized by ignored emails, unanswered phone calls, unhelpful responses, and a general lack of communication regarding issues like returns, refunds, or delivery problems. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the product quality, describing items as robust, simple to operate, and working well, like meat slicers or other equipment. Some reviewers also mentioned positive experiences with delivery, noting that items arrived fast, on time, and in good order, meeting their expectations.

Absolutely shocking products and service. Pie warmer bought, awful quality, not fit for commercial use, fisher price could make a better product. called and spoke to someone who said it was ‘not his problem’ emailed multiple times with zero reply. Basically thieves selling online, scammers could be used to describe them. Avoid at all costs, don’t get stung like me. They should be ashamed of themselves and take down their joke of a business.

Negative experience

Hello, purchased a fryer, in late November 2024. As a new business and first of all one side has stopped working and now the other side, I have contacted them, and they are good with replying but not getting a resolution or getting anywhere so resorted to writing this review.

Terrible Customer Service and Lack of Support

I purchased an industrial mixer from KRD, but unfortunately, it arrived damaged and with electrical issues. I immediately contacted the company and was told over the phone that an engineer would be sent to resolve the issue. However, after multiple calls and emails, I have yet to receive any confirmation of when this will happen.

Now, the company is not answering my calls or responding to my emails, leaving me with a non-functional machine and no solution. I have formally requested a pickup and a full refund, but so far, no action has been taken.

The lack of commitment and support from KRD has been extremely frustrating. I do not recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable products and customer service. If I do not receive an immediate resolution, I will have no choice but to take legal action.

I purchased an electric griddle from KRD on 12th February 2025 and received it on 14th February 2025, but it doesn’t work at all. I have tried contacting their customer service multiple times, but they have completely ignored my requests for support. The lack of response and poor service is unacceptable. I would not recommend buying from this company as they do not stand behind their products or assist their customers. Very disappointed!!!!

Despicable Customer Service

If I were able to write a minus review I would. We are a small military veterans charity who provide a free hot meal every day. We fundraised for a replacement freezer, a significant spend for us and purchased it from KRD. It arrived broken and on a broken pallet dumped on the street outside our building. Despite numerous emails KRD continues to ignore us, haven’t picked up the faulty freezer and provide a refund. They should be ashamed of themselves and their customer service is despicable. Buyer beware.

Superb

Superb company. I ordered an industrial mixer for my fledgling business and I have to say it was a very smooth transaction. Even the courier gave me a hand to get it into the premises as it weighed 91kg. 10 out of 10
