A year after the re-branding of this store from "Saturn" to "Mediamarkt", the style seems to have…read moregradually changed as well (apart from the colour change from blue to red). Although prices and products didn't really change, Mediamarkt uses more aggressive advertising and wants to be perceived as a the cheapest store. This unfortunately comes at the cost of customer service. But don't get me wrong: the place has an amazing variety of products, from CD/DVD over kitchen appliances, refrigerators, televisions, computers to vacuum cleaners and while price levels and service vary per department, some of them have the best price/quality ratio in the area. After multiple visits over the last years, my feeling is the CD/DVD/game department is one of the best. You can trust that you rarely will find a cheaper price for most of the items, even on-line on sites as bol.com. The staff is also very helpful to find specific products and order them for you if they are out of stock. The computer/electronics/camera departments provide a bit less service: on multiple occasions I was told they could not order me QWERTY keyboards or laptops because they're not available in Belgium (while Coolblue at the other side of the street does sell them), or that specific brands or models of external hard-disks or computer accessories are not available for order (even if the supplier website lists Mediamarkt Belgium as a retailer for their products). Once I was also told that they don't sell CompactFlash memory cards anymore because there was decreasing demand (which appeared to be untrue, because a month later they were again in stock). Prices for these products are often also more expensive than competitors, except for products in a promotion sale or on advertising. Overall, a good store for expanding your music and movie collection, and worth visiting when shopping for electronics and household appliances (but do compare prices with others for these products). Apart from Dutch, most staff also speaks good English and some French.

If you like window shopping, just looking at cool objects and dreaming of your perfect house while letting out a heavy sigh, knowing these things are just beyond your budget...come spend a while at Mafrans! The employees are very polite and many speak English, although they will admit that they don't speak it very well. But when one comes from Miami, it's all LIES! Their English is better than many I know who've been in the States for 20+ years. Anyways, not knowing the lay of the land very well, I was directed to come here for hair clippers and blenders and paid a pretty penny for them. If you're looking for appliances, try Blokker on the Bond, they're much cheaper.

Depending on the item purchased only a little more than an online store and you get the personal service and advice. Blokker (mentioned by another reviewer) is another level entirely. Much lower quality products on the whole - for electricals definitely Mafrans.
