Godfreys - Be Warn
Read the fine print before making a purchase from Godfreys.
My cleaner stop working after first use. Will not replace it. Spoke to the Area Manager, all he wanted to do is fight with me.

I will not be calling you. I spoke to your Victoia Area manager and he was rude, unbusinesslike, and wanted to abuse me. Why would I call again?
After the Area manager incident, I emailed your CEO, no response. ... Read more

Pushy
Went to Godfreys to buy another pack vac vac and was talked into the more expensive Pullman, I didnt want it but he was pushy, its bulky, straps uncomfortable, cord gets tangled, after a few hours my neck, shoulders and Back were extremely sore, waste of $, used it once, he also sold me the mega gulper tool and it doesnt even fit the vac, was told to buy 5 lt halo as its better than the spray bottle - um isnt it the same product ?

Very disappointed
We were sold a vacuum cleaner after being convinced by a Godfreys sales staff member that it was the best by far. A $550 Hoover Air Stick Pro. She told us all the other vacuums in the range we were looking at were nothing compared to the Hoover. I'm assuming Hoover had some deal going with Godfreys because that vacuum was an absolute piece of trash and the biggest waste of money. After being very disappointed with the vacuums performance we looked up reviews for the product and it was THE WORST rated vacuum out of all the stock they had, yet th...Read more
e staff member swore to us it would out perform all of them. What made me even more annoyed was that almost all the unhappy costumers like myself were convinced by a Godfreys staff member all around the country. I'll never shop at Godfreys again, they clearly only want your money, and are not concerned with telling you the truth about their products. After almost a year of using the piece of trash I went elsewhere and bought from a different supplier that was much more transparent, and we are now happy with our new purchase.1 comment

Crap service and sub standard machines
I paid over $800 for a vacuum cleaner that stopped working after 10 months of minimal use - I asked for a replacement of new for old and was told NO - we will have it repaired for you. still waiting after 4 weeks to get me machine back, they tell me every week at Epping store it will be here on Monday, still waiting. Now they say I need a new part to a 10 month old machine and they are waiting for it to arrive... Well if the machine stops working after 10 months, then in my book it is a faulty machine and no amount of new parts will fix the p...Read more

Poor Service and lying staff
We were told by a new staff member we had a 15 day in-house trial to use our vacuum. We brought it back on the 11th day as it was not suitable and didn't do what the new sales person said it would. They are now refusing to honor the 15 days as it is actually 10. The sales staff gave us the wrong information. We now have a $750 vacuum that we do not use because it is not suitable for out carpet and cannot get a refund to go and buy the vacuum we want. Terrible customer service.

what the sales person said it would. Honestly, we just want to be taken seriously and have our money returned. You chose to believe a new staff member who evidently needs some additional training over a customer who is just wanting their money back.

Steam Mop
Brought ourselves a Hoover steam mop.
Was told this type was THE BEST. First time great, second time terrible. Streaks. Soapy floors. Minimal steam.
I basically forgot about it in the cupboard.
Took it back to the store told them our issue suddenly, they sell them all the time so they cant help me. They send it for a service, not sure what they serviced and it looked exactly the same as when we left it. Again, first time using it again, not bad. Second... terrible!!!!
What a waste of money. A traditional mop on a stick does a better job.

Appalling Sales Practices
Sold me a second hand steamer. It had filthy pads and still had water inside. The water contained rust it had been sitting there so long, which also suggests the steamer is pretty low quality. Packaging was all just jammed in the box rather than protecting the machine.
Returned to the store within 20 mins of purchase where they argued it was tested in the factory hence the water in the reserve, the pads are clean, and the box had never been opened. I asked him to replace it or refund, all he would do is give me replacement pads.
Because I'm a...Read more
pushover and don't believe in doing the wrong thing by people, I accepted my fate and took the pack of pads to find one was missing, and that it wasn't a pack of three but a pack of two in the first place. I've purchased several devices since, and haven't even entertained Godfreys. Well done, you lost a customer by palming off second hand goods. A company which knowing sells you second hand items is not worth your time or effort. There is nothing they can do to remedy the situation, selling second hand goods is fraud.1 comment

Amazing customer service at Auburn
I visited the Auburn store and was greeted by Alex who was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the different types of vacuums available for purchase. He could tell the first few low range vacuum cleaners were not cutting it for me, then showed me the Vorwerk range and I was hooked. I was amazed by how quiet the VK200 (upright vacuum) was and thoroughly enjoyed the demonstration of all its features and attachments. Alex could also tell I had taken an interest in the robot vacuums on display and did a demonstration of the VR200 (robot) for m...Read more
e. Given that I knew nothing about vacuum cleaners, I took a lot of time in the store and didn't realise the store had actually closed while Alex was still giving me demonstrations and answering my questions, but I didn't feel like I was being hurried or pressured to make any decisions. I can appreciate a quality machine, but I can also appreciate an engaging demonstration and attentive customer service. Needless to say, I left that day with the VR200 (robot). I then came back to Alex a few weeks later and purchased the VK200 (upright vacuum) and the new SP600 (hard floor attachment). I love everything about these products and enjoy how they all work in harmony together. I will be sure to go back to Alex at Auburn Godfreys to purchase the rest of the Vorwerk range!1 comment

Exceptional Service, Support & Knowledge - Victoria Point Qld
Mike went above and beyond to answer my questions in regards to Enzyme Wizard Urine Staine & Odour Remover. I run a busy doggie daycare, vacation care for dogs in Redlands/Bayside & beyond and have synthetic grass in back, that RARELY is eliminated on. However, if I miss one, I know about it when the sun hits it. I found this product and called Mike to ensure I could get some real customer support should the product not deliver on its promises - (I have been using another product for 2 years, but it wasn't doing it anymore, left a residue & a fragrance).
Mike made calls, backed up the statements, offered me more advice, MSDS sheets, and really went out of his way to ensure I was satisfied with the products
5 stars and thankyou Mike

Still poor customer service, zero customer care
Customer of Godfreys Bundall for over 20+ years, Miami store staff were great but store shut down (ages ago), forced to go to Bundall where the service in comparison is hostile and their penny-pinching attitude did nothing to make me want to spend more. But in more recent times (over last 10 years, coz a vac lasts about 5) the clincher was the after sales "service" and lack thereof. The staff were disinterested, condescending and outright mean. I found them mildly bullying. And they only 'act' nice for a few seconds as you are swiping in your c...Read more
ard/handing over your cash, then straight back to hostile... But if you have an issue with your vacuum machine, you. can. FORGET. IT. Or get ready for a big fight. They will hunt you out of the store. I thought I'd check on the recent reviews as we are up for a couple of new vacs, but due to the continuing abysmal service by the looks of recent reviews, I will give Godfrey's the swerve. I still remember how lousy the staff made me feel when I had an issue with my vac. I never left a review before, but since they haven't addressed their bad treatment of people they're not getting my $1500. They always want the last word on everything and have no genuine customer care, in my experience with them.2 comments

Bad customer service from Owner/Manager Godfrey's Bundall
I was quite excited about purchasing an expensive Ecovac Deebot Ozmo 900 when I read up about its benefits and being a robot system it would save me a lot of time. However, it didn't work for me and the difficulties I had with the machine were frustrating, After 15 days and some phone calls where the manager was not available, I decided to return the machine for a refund, just outside the 10 day cooling off period. The manager was rude, made me feel like an idiot, and his behaviour by asking me to leave the store was not something I would expe...Read more
ct from an owner/ manager. Other Godfrey's company stores allow a 90 day exchange but they do not stock any other Robot vacuums at the price I paid. I have been contacted by Head Office and could not come to a solution that would suit me. Disappointing store Beware. You would be better off going to Harvey Norman, Amazon, or JB Hi-Fi.3 comments

Terrible Customer Service for Loyal Customers
Have you ever heard of such poor customer service!
On 7 Sept, I purchased a brand new Vorwerk Kobold Upright worth over $2k just before going overseas, and had no time to trial it out but decided to return it unopened, untrialed because we didn't want it - not the right timing. There is a 10 day guarantee of return no questions asked and money back.
My husband unfortunately got it back 1 day late because we were flat out with my impending overseas trip, organising homeschool while I was away, etc .. he returned the goods unopened to the sto...Read more
re including the receipt and was rung back later (date/time stamp on his phone) telling him they would waive the 10 days, given we are loyal customers who have been with Godfrey's for over 10 years and purchased all our vacuum cleaners thru' them. But they couldn't refund at the time back onto my credit card because apparently I had to be there with ID given it's over $2k purchase. So after my 2 week trip to the US, I drop into the store on Thurs 26 before 10am to get the refund done only to be told I had to return on the weekend because only the guy I purchased it from, can do the refund that had been approved. I couldn't get there over the weekend because we had things organised that couldn't be changed so I planned to drop in the following weekend. I got a call yesterday from Godfrey's store manager, telling me to come pick up my machine. I told them we are expecting a refund. We argue and by the end of conversation he says he'll get it sorted and money will be back on the credit card by end of the day.1 comment

I bought a Hoover vibrating carpet shampooer from Godfrey’s near 12 months ago ... unfortunately it hasn’t worked correctly since the day I bought .
