Kitchen Appliances in New Zealand

3rd May 2013
We have a Parmco Oven and Dishwasher and have had norhting but problems with both. Within the first six months the oven door had come off the hinge and the thermocouples have broken twice. The Wok burner is only able to be used for a Wok , ie: you can't use a normal pot or pan on it or the element stops working (as advised by Parmco). When we have had a technician out to fix the oven on a number of occasions, he agreed that the Parmco ovens are substandard. The most frustrating issue is that the oven doesn't cook even close to evenly - have raised this issue with Parmco and response was basically that this isn't a "fault". The dishwasher is an integrated one that has never sealed properly and although I know the installation was done to a very high standard by our fabulous kitchen maker, Parmco take no responsibility. Would NEVER have Parmco appliances again.

After looking at appliance reviews and settling on a washing machine and fridge, Kitchen Things had the ones I wanted. They were quick to send out a bill after I placed my order, which I payed the following day. I had organized for a moving truck to pick up the appliances three days after placing my order and the person I was dealing with assured me that both appliances would be ready. On the day that the moving truck arrived, one of the appliances hadn't arrived. I had not received any emails about this beforehand but was assured that delivery would take place the following working day free of charge. On the day of delivery, I missed a call from the delivery people and rung them back one hour later. They informed me that because I wasn't there to receive the call, they had left the fridge at the depot and we organized for another delivery the following day. My partner was at home the next day, and had not received a call regarding the delivery by mid morning, so she rung Kitchen Things. They rung the delivery people, and assured that the fridge would be delivered that afternoon. Only my partner was home when the fridge was delivered. No help was offered to take the polystyrene off the fridge bottom, even though the trolly would have made this an easy task. Very disappointed with my Kitchen Things experience.
