I bought last year in October a washing machine and a factory-refurbished Dyson from this shop…read more Before buying these products I visited the shop at least three times, looking for options and also for ordering a spare part for a Dyson in the flat I was living in the past. In all occasions, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The installation for a washing machine was included in the price that was matching main street competitors. I had to visit them three weeks after the original purchase date as the cashback offer for the washing machine I bought was requiring an extra document, and the staff were pleasantly helpful providing additional proof of purchase. There is a good variety for fridges, washing machines, cookers, microwaves, repairing options. Highly recommended!

But Gorgie Appliances is a really good local business and when I popped in to check it out, the owner really did know a lot about which appliance would suit your exact needs rather than just trying to offload the most expensive one on you, which you don't really get in the big stores. The store also orders in specific parts of appliances that you may need as well as fixing any problems you may have. Overall its a great local shop where you can get an appliance tailored to your personal needs.

Great service! And the woman working the counter was very helpful and friendly. Thank you!read more

My hoover is Mr. Reliable. Henry, if you're a student you'll probably know one of his brothers. And…read morewe've never had any problems with Henry. So I'm reviewing this place not for their hoover fixing ability, which I'm sure is top notch, but as a hardware store. I've said before, good hardware stores a elusive at best. And this isn't a particularly good one. I went in to get a replacement bulb for my desk lamp. If my camera wasn't broken I've have taken a picture of the bulb to show you - it's a bit of a weird one. But they wanted £4.50 for a new one. Now I'm no hardware expert but I'm also know mug, and I know £4.50 for one light bulb is too much. Sure they were friendly, but save your pennies and try elsewhere.

My limited knowledge of all things fuses and wattage was clearly exploited by these guys and thus my impression of the place is not the best. I'd been robbed.

Drummond is a business dealing with sewing machines. But rather than just selling the manufacturing…read moredevices, it also doubles up as an old fashioned haberdashery, packed to the brim with balls of yarn and spools galore! Admittedly, they specialise in sewing and knitting machines (which are all displayed splendidly) but since I can't afford one of those bad boys I stuck to the supply section. They had pigeon holes stuffed with wool of all shapes, sizes and varieties (including pom pom wool to knit yourself a bubbly scarf!) Towards the back, they stock knitting and sewing guides, patterns, along with hundreds of good quality spools. Here you'll find everything you need to start your crafty business, including an ample supply of pin cushions, pins, glue, hem guidelines and Wondaweb for those of us who like to cheat *cough cough*. I would like to move away from using Wondaweb to begin stitching clothes up the right way, and Drummond is great for lending inspiration. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel at ease, even though I baltantly didn't know where to start. With their attentive natures, I felt like I was being taken care of. I want to start making dresses out of old skirts and tops I find in charity shops, and in here I saw loads of accessories and shiny thread you could embellish a tired outfit with. It's great for experts as they have a ton of supplies, but equally useful for beginners like myself who don't know their Singer from their...well, to be honest I can't even think of another machine maker! But with the helpful staff and plethora of stock, Drummonds is a good place to start.

Disclaimer here is that I'm really rating this shop as a knitter, not as a sewist. I understand…read morethat their products and services relating to sewing machines are very good and people travel to them specifically for this. However, as a knitter... I go to this shop fairly often because it is right near work for me, but if it weren't, I would NEVER go. The staff hover and constantly ask if you need any help - I usually spend about 5 minutes in the shop and am asked if I need any help 2-3 times. It's very off-putting. I'm convinced they think I'm going to nick something. They're a little condescending as well - "put your debit card away safe now" when I finish paying, etc. (Possibly a natural reaction of the kindly granny staff to a person under the age of 40?) The wool selection is limited. It seems very much geared towards grannies knitting either big aran sweaters for their menfolk, or cute little baby things. There is a decent selection of affordable sport/DK baby wools, a few sock wools, cones for machine knitting, and huge 800 gram balls of Wendy aran, but no smaller aran balls. I was looking for some aran for children's mittens, but was told that "we don't have those dear, the smaller balls work out too expensive". Um. Well. Thank you, I guess? I'll just go to a different shop then... My advice: come here if you need your sewing machine repaired, if you're a knitter over the age of 65, or if you're planning to make large projects in neutral tones. Otherwise, go to MacAree Brothers.
