This is now my 3rd Andrew James…

This is now my 3rd Andrew James Dehydrator ove the last 6 years, the first one just stopped working altogether, but I had it for over 2 years so kind of excepted it , the second one after about the same time the heating element just stopped working. I thought that's it not getting from them again but my wife got me one off amazon, so I have had this one just over a year and the time and temperature just keeps changing by itself the whole time , constant beeping. I'll set the temperature at 40 an hour later its a 50 or 70 then it will change to however it feels at the time whilst beeps wake everyone up. Not good enough I'm afraid

Noisy and Excessive Vibration on myAJ000187 halogen oven…

Just purchased my AJ000187 halogen oven in September 2022 from Amazon.
Have had one before only my last one had a hinged lid which my new one does not, this was my choice due to cost of the hinged one.
However my poor rating is due to the noise my new oven makes very loud and vibrating when in use.
I have had to place oven gloves & small bowl on top of the control panel excluding the ventilation slots so not to overheat just to stop the noise and vibration in order to make using the oven bearable.
I think if the lid came with a silicone gasket to seal the lid slightly may help?.
Otherwise spend a more and choose the hinged type this may be quieter.

4 months old and a new bulb already

I purchased a halogen oven , with the attached lid thinking it would be an improvement over my cheaper model that finally blew the bulb after 2 1/2 year's , wrong ! I've owned it 4 months and have had to replace the bulb today ! Half way through cooking a chicken .
Now I'm unable to find original spares and all the generic replacement bulbs have wiring which is much to long to fit in the unit , I've found the reason for the bulb malfunction , lack of heat protection for the wiring !
I've replaced the bulb with the spare provided " never a good sign " and hopefully this will last longer !!!!!!!

Loud beeping noise is this normal when heated up

Electric BBQ - So far so good as I have only just unpacked it but when I first heated it up for the 3-5 minutes it suddenly gave out an extremely loud beeping noise. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a reason for this. Can you please tell me if this is normal. I have sent you an email but had no reply. Thank you. Denise

I bought an appkettle from Andrew James - it seems AppKettle have gone bust, the app no longer exists, the servers are down so it doesn't function. I thought i'd reach out to Andrew James to see if we can resolve the issue with no response - and it looks like they're bust too so I guess i'm £130 under...

No customer service or returns policy

3 replacement ice machines later and still no refund for the initial purchase and now the 3rd machine has gone wrong. We only go the initial replacement via Amazon but if you search this company is now AJRealisations. Nobody answers the phones and products are inferior... Avoid and don't waste your time or money...

Used to be excellent but it seems they went into administration in 2020. Not sure what support they provide during administration, if any. Will try and get in touch with the administrators and find out.
Edit: Emailed them about 2-3 weeks ago. No reply 🙄

Andrew James Stove

I purchased a small souble stove on Amazon (whilst my kitchen was being updated) and after 5 months it stopped working. I forgot to send it within the six month deadline and the sellers refused to do anything about it! A great big con.

Not good at all!

I bought an Andrew James slow cooker through Ebay. I plugged it in and it blew the sockets in half of my house. Sent it back and still waiting for a refund.

FRAUD

I bought a vacuum sealer and after 7 months it's dead... the website doesn't work and the email doesn't work. This is a proper fraud!
