It's hard to get too excited about electrical retailers.The main advantage with this one is that…read moreit's still independent and hasn't been eaten up by the big names like Currys or Lazer. I called in here while I was TV shopping about a year ago. It's a nice big place, full of fantastically huge screens aching for a place in my apartment. They have an extensive range of TV, dvd and blu-ray, some stereo equipment and a range of white goods too. I was after a 32inch, either 720p or full HD depending on the cost. I saw a Samsung, 720p for a measly £329. Quite a bargain considering the brand and the picture quality. I ended up leaving it and finding a new Toshiba on Amazon for £289, which turned out to be a fabulous piece of kit. I probably should have been helping the smaller independent retailer but alas I went corporate ...

On the hunt for a new fridge a work colleague recommend a trip to this small(ish) electrical shop…read moreover beside the Central Library. Rumour had it that a cash purchase would guarantee a substantial saving over most 'chain stores' so we decided it was well worth an investigation. Walking in just before closing time is never a great idea for a browse but the staff were more than happy to let us head upstairs and check out the fridge selection. The stock was a bit limited and as we were working to a specific size brief for the fridge (it had to fit into a pre-determined space) we unfortunately didn't find what we were after. Downstairs they had a huge selection of smaller electrical goods and at the back a wall of pretty sweet looking TV's. Someone had decided to play an Iron Maiden live DVD on one of them so it was a rather striking contrast to the surroundings of the shop, possibly a last ditch attempt to clear before closing time. Pros: Great staff, very helpful and pricing is very competitive. Cons: Not a huge selection.

This local electrical retailer has been in operation for almost 40 years. Their showroom is…read morespacious with a lot of products on display, which is surprising when you consider that there are only two Noel Grimley shops and it's a local retailer. All your household electricals are available here - flat screen TVs, fridges, washing machines, kettles, irons, DVD recorders... this place has the lot. They also manage to do quite well in competing with the large electrical retailers. Part of the reason for that is their customer service. As with many of the locally owned businesses or single shop retailers, they rely quite heavily on building a reputation and gaining a loyal customer base. The staff are very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they have a reputation as having a good attitude to after sales care. A minor issue for me is the lack of understanding of the importance of being sufficiently represented on the internet - a free website off Weebly with a few special offers isn't going to cut it, and is something which I believe contributed to the demise of Laser, a much bigger electrical retailer that folded earlier this year.

Anyway, anytime I break something electronicy I own I gotta go in and explain vaguely what I'm after, usually some form of cable or attachment thingy. This place are really helpful though. They're more kinda specialized than places like Curry's and they are known for their sound equipment. My housemate makes her own electronic music on Ableton and recommends this place for music production stuff. And she really knows what she's talking about. Guys who are into gadgets would wet themselves upon entering this store, for me its just a chore though! A great little shop with helpful staff.

What's this cool shizz I hear you ask? Well for a start they had a mini kids electric BMW sitting outside - now that will set you back a cool £600 - but if you have you the dosh coming up to Christmas I'd get one, even if you don't have kids. I actually went in to Maplin tom get a Megaphone, yep I'm plotting world domination. It was all much more straight forward than I thought. The Maplin store is split in to sections: Sounds, Lighting, Computers etc you know the drill. The Megaphone wasn't expensive either, £25 which I considered a bargain. Great wee store and differently somewhere to go and get tech Christmas gifts. The staff seem knowledgeable and the service is good. Plus there's plenty of parking so you'll be able to load that mini BMW in to your real car.

The shop was well set out and seemed to feature Sony and Panasonic as it's two main brands. Had a browse around and eventually the sole staff member came over to help. He was really nice and patiently explained the pros and cons of the tape vs. hard drive recording formats and the (huge) difference in price and the like. There was no hard sell and he seemed to really want to understand what I wanted to get out of a camera so I could chose the best model. After a pleasant and informative chat I left with a brochure and a much better idea of my options. Perfect. The shop also had a wide selection of electronic goods ranging from inexpensive DAB radios right up to pricey plasma and flat screen tv's. Pros: Expert knowledge. Cons: There is a lot of swanky kit in here, you will be tempted.

I know they stocked them and they did. It was once they realised that they simply couldn't sell me anything else apart from this meagre cable that they kinda shut down all thoughts of customer service.

I have stated elsewhere…read morethat my family do not like Curry's due to bad customer service in the past, and because of this my mother tried to buy our latest TV from here. Lord I wish she hadn't. We bought a Philips TV from here and received nothing but bother from about two weeks after the purchase. The unit had sound and green screen issues. When we tried to get a refund however, we were flat out rejected. We were also told we couldn't exchange it for another item, all we could do was try and get it repaired. It took them 3 weeks with our TV only to return it back to us unrepaired. After this we demanded a refund only to be told the same thing. They ignored our consumer rights and treated us like total rubbish. We have since taken the TV to a local technician who fixed our issues, but I will never come back again. It may have a catchy radio ad, but do you think you should trust a store that for its latest expansion rather than an electronics store it chose to open a discount mattress and bedding store? I hope they know more about them than TVs! Final conclusion? Sam's Yer Man for an overpriced piece of crap.

With the amount we were spending, we weren't that fussed on buying it all online. Visited the Sams Yer Man shop in Belfast. They were decent enough to deal with, the guy spent time going through different options of brands with us and we left with what we felt was a good quote for what we wanted. They told us when we were there that if we got quotes elsewhere they would better them. Well! I got a slightly better deal so gave sams yer man a call just to see what they'd say. They pointed out that *#/#*#,/? had quoted me for the wrong Oven. They gave me the model for the right Oven so that it would all line up with my Microwave and warming drawer. We found these guys really helpful, the guy we dealt with knew his stuff and in the end did end up giving it to us cheaper than our other quote. So for us, Sam was the man for a bargain! Oh, while we were there they told us that they now do beds and furniture, we had a look, some nice stuff, but we didnt need anything, but we'll definatley give them a go if we ever do need anything.

Yes, this stuff is the finest quality you can get in the commercial market, but wow do they make you pay for it.

Ordering online was an option but I needed it right NOW. My sister wisely and calmly suggested I try the electronics/computer shop in Queen's Students Union as it was close by. Thank goodness I did. SRL Electrics is a life saver - the guys in the shop are super. They showed me a range of lightning cables and allowed me to try them in store. I purchased an iWires lightning connector cable, which is slightly cheaper than the iPhone version and actually seems much better quality! It works brilliantly! Plus they come in different colours of red, blue and green - though sadly no pink. I'll definitely return to SRL Electrics again and this is due to the brilliant staff who kindly spent so much time explaining everything to technologically clueless me. They stock a full range of electrical items including TV's, washing machines, music playing devices, headphones, SIM cards, cables and batteries etc. Plus they also do PC and laptop repairs. I'll definitely be back.
