There are several retailers that have become household names for their ability to provide a wide range of electrical items.
Not all of them have a good range of kitchen appliances – although Dixons happily doesn’t fall into that category. Let’s find out what you could expect to buy from the Dixons website.
How do I locate their website?
You can find it easily by going to www.dixons.co.uk.
How can I see all the kitchen appliances they sell?
Their website is themed with red, according to their corporate colours. But underneath their red logo you will see a strip of grey tabs, each one pointing the way to a different department.
One of the first ones you come to is ‘kitchen’. Once you click on that option you will see a page which lists all the kitchen appliances they sell. The URL to take you directly to that particular page is http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/editorial/Category+-+Kitchen+Appliances/?int=hp-topnav-kitchenapps.
Once you are there you can decide where to go, according to which type of kitchen appliance you are looking to buy.
Do they have a lot of kitchen appliances to offer?
If you think about all the main kitchen appliances you could want – hobs, ovens, cookers, cooker hoods, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and so on – you will find them all on the Dixons website.
What’s more, they also stock some package deals. This is ideal if you are totally gutting your kitchen and you want to renew all your appliances. You could save a lot of money doing this.
Is there a lot of useful information on their site?
The basic search results pages are just that – basic. But that is no big thing because at this stage you are only looking for something that you like the look of. It should also meet your expectations with price of course. And the price is clearly given in red, so you can see exactly what you will pay for each item.
Once you get through to the details on a specific kitchen appliance, you will find a lot more to get to grips with. Enlarging the image launches a new window with a much clearer picture to view. A number of basic bullet points are given on the right hand side, which help you to get an initial feel for the item.
If you scroll further down the page you will find more detailed product information for the appliance you are looking at. Don’t scroll past the blue clickable link at the end though – this opens up another section of the web page and enables you to read all the technical information.
The other sections below this are written in much the same way. For example, you can read the basic delivery information and then click the blue link to expand this bit as well. As such, the product page is given to you in its basic format. It is then up to you to decide how much or little you want to read beyond this.
Back up the page you will see that they use a company called Reevoo to get reviews for the kitchen appliances. Clicking the little graphic supplied will bring up a new window which gives you all the reviews the site has for the kitchen appliance you have found.
This is a neat little tool that can really help you to decide which appliance is going to work best for you.
How easy is it to order my new kitchen appliances online?
You’ll spot the ‘add to basket’ button quickly and easily, no doubt. But above this you have the option of ticking the box to go for extra cover on your appliance. You don’t need to get this, but it is good to know you have the choice.
You can also opt for installation if you don’t feel confident in installing the new appliance yourself. If you click on the drop down box you will see that there is also a nominal charge for disposing of your old appliance when the new one arrives.
Once you have selected the item and added it to your basket, you can then complete the order quickly and safely.
In conclusion
Dixons is capable of kitting out your whole kitchen with new appliances if that is what you want! They have so much to choose from that the buying experience might take a while – but it is a very enjoyable experience too.
