Extremely bad service!
I attended Success store middle of February looking for a “stick vacuum “ for my daughters birthday. I have used Godfreys many times and have been very satisfied. I was “attended” to by the most beligerant young lady who was so rude and obnoxious and clearly was not interested in serving me.
There was nobody else in the store but she really couldn’t be bothered.
I will go to another Godfreys store to purchase what I want and hope for the best,
But I felt very strongly about leaving my complaints.
Thankyou Mrs H.J.Fairclough

Hoover Ultra Power 2 in 1 cordless stick - 2 failures within a year. No refund from Godfreys
Purchased a Hoover Ultra Power 2 in 1 cordless stick vacuum on 13 April 2022. Product failed twice in less than a year (14/7/19 Roller-head stopped functioning, 8/2/20 Unit stopped charging). No refund beyond 10 days from purchase is possible due to Godfrey's very poor refund policy even though i've lost faith in the product's long term functionality. Beware purchases from Godfreys.

Hoover Performer Plus Robot Vacuum - Waste of Money
I’ve just used my Hoover robot after it’s first charge.
But let’s start at the beginning. After reading many positive reviews on this robot vac, I ordered one online.
CONS:
First: package was not even wrapped. No privacy.
Second: upon unpacking the robot, I discovered it does not come with a dedicated home base. This is not clearly stated in the online advert.
So once it’s battery is flat, you have to literally carry it back to the charging adaptor. What’s with that?
Third: after charging it all night I started it up.
This machine is usele...Read more

Great service and product knowledge
I went in looking for Dyson stick vacuums but spoke to Ramila at the Carindale Store. She showed me a few options and explained why I should instead buy a Wertheim Evolution stick vacuum as it's better priced, the specifications are better and so is the build quality. My wife and I went to JB to check out the Dyson just to keep our options open and were pleasantly surprised with the information and honest opinion provided by Ramila. Money well spent and great customer service. Thanks

Excellent service
I bought My vacuum cleaner from the Auburn store within the last 12 months. after using for few months the trip was going off when we plugged it in (the machine was used by the cleaners and I believe something got sucked into it and they had cut the code off to remove the item and had taped it back. Since then every time we plugged it in the trip would go off.
I decided to buy another cheaper one and walked into the store and told the sales person that I was there to buy a V.C and if I could trade my old one in. He agreed to it. He tried to ...Read more

Hoover Quick Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Satisfactory vacuum for small unit or a handy extra for bigger house. As the main vacuum cleaner for me I regret my purchase and wished I had researched my options better.

Very Poor Customer Service
It 12 days to deliver only part of my order. When I called to complain I was told to wait 24-48hrs to see if second part arrives. They basically blamed the couriers, however I have paid for products but I have still not received. When I requested a refund I was told this was not possible without investigation and I should ring back. These guys seem to be very poor with online orders compared to many other suppliers both small and large companies I would not recommend Godfreys at all.

Area manager was abusive
I purchased a bissell crosswave pet from the narellan store and was told it was brand new in box as the box looked old. Opened it when I got home to see it was previously been used and was still caked in grime and old smelly water. Returned it for refund and was told to come back another day as the manager only approves refunds. So I go out and have a look around for an hour at the shops to get back to the store to find they have closed the store an hour early and all the lights are off. It was 3pm on a Sunday and they close at 4pm. Ring head ...Read more
office complaints department to get a straight answer to have them say the manager will call me tomorrow and help me out. Tomorrow came no call. I called the Tuesday to head office and they said they will escalate it to someone higher The area manager [Name Removed] rings me and from the start of the conversation he was defensive and rude and wouldn’t let me talk and by end of conversation he turns around and says he will not refund the machine as i was told by zeljko who sold it to me that it was a ex demo and they don’t have refund policy’s for ex demos Why would I pay $449 for a ex demo when the new one is same price1 comment

Hoover Vibrabrush - only worked once.
Took our Vibrabrush shampooer back to Godfrey's after 9 days. Only got to use it once and then the Vibra brush seized up.
After only having it 9 days i expected an exchange. Nope. Godfrey's have to send it to their repair center for evaluation. Up to 2 weeks. Great when you have family coming and you want your carpets clean. Should have bought it from another Retailer who offers exchange for faulty units. This will be a major consideration for future purchases.

Customer service Hoover React
We purchased a Hoover React for $650.00 and have had quite a few issues with it. I have written another product review which highlighted my frustration with not only the product but customer service.
After speaking to Shannon on the phone, she was very easy going and offered her assistance with products if needed.
I would suggest calling if you have any issues and not dealing with it through email.
Shannon was lovely to deal with. Our problem has been resolved since the first initial review.
It’s 4 stars and not 5, because I feel Godfrey’s needs more stores and less franchises. The franchises seem to stock a larger variety and we can’t use vouchers at franchises.

Thank You!!!
Just got home from Godfreys Mt Gravatt, and am compelled to write this review immediately. A very big thank you to Belinda and Michael for removing my daughter’s firmly lodged headphones from my Dyson brush bar / cleaner head. They would not accept any money that I offered for this immediate repair, and even provided me with unsolicited important routine maintenance advice. Good people - the world needs more of them!

Great Service from David and Michael at Mt Gravatt QLD
So impressed with the level of service I received at the store, from calling the store and speaking with Michael whom gave me options to bring my Hoover into the store for them to look at, to having David, solve my issue and clean and replace my filter and now my hoover is working 100 percent again. Thank you David and Michael for the great service. Just amazing David, it only cost me $29.00 to fix my Hoover.

Hoover Paws & Claws Vacuum
I was in the market for a new Vacuum and I decided on a Miele, next morning I had an email which was forwarded by a girlfriend which was a Godfreys sale catalogue and on the first page there was a Hoover Paws & Claws vacuum advertised for $99 with free delivery so I took that as an omen and went online and bought it, it was delivered the next day (I'm in the Country) and it is the best Vacuum i've ever had, I love it, it's that powerful it picks up everything with ease. Great prompt service and great product, Thank you!

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

Questions & Answers
Sara K.asked
WHERE IS MY ORDER? I ordered a Hoover Tornado bagels vacuum last week Thursday and it’s almost been a week since and still nothing. How come I can’t track my parcel either???
1 answer
Godfrey G.Godfreys
Hi Sara,
We are very sorry about the delay in the arrival of your delivery.
Australia Post have advised that they are severely inundated with deliveries and are experiencing up to 2 weeks delays in processing freight.
They have been moving items manually to expedite the process meaning freight has been moving without triggering scan points.
They closed all depots across their network on the weekend for new freight and worked triple shifts to clear their floors of all delayed articles, they are still currently working through this.
Your order is on it's way.
Again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

Pamasked
I received my QuickStart vac and powerhead on the 9/4/20. I unpacked and was immediately unhappy with the product, finding the suction on carpet unsatisfactory. I have made over 20 calls to your number. Numerous calls give a advise message to call back. Twice when I did get through I was told somebody would call me back this has not happened. I was told Morley store was open and that I could return the product there but some franchise were “funny” about taking online orders back. I was advised if this was the case to contact your call number again. I have been trying without success and am not receiving the promised call back. Please Advise what my course of action should be.
