Electrolux freezes out its competitors when it comes to happy customers
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings
Electrolux has more satisfied customers than any other refrigerator brand, coming out on top of a recent survey by Canstar Blue.
Canstar Blue’s first refrigerator survey showed Electrolux customers are the most satisfied when it comes to overall satisfaction, price, performance and reliability, design, internal layout and service and warranty.
Consumers proved reasonably happy with their fridge across the board, with all brands tested scoring at least three stars, or six out of ten, in each category.
The study did highlight some common consumer gripes about perceived poor fridge design, lack of storage space and the plastic shelving’s tendency to shatter. Many consumers also felt prices were too high and that the size of the fridge was misleading from the outside.
Canstar Blue commissions professional market research company, Colmar Brunton, to survey 2,500 Australians across a range of categories every few months.
Consumers who had bought a refrigerator in the past three years were asked to rate their brand in each criteria.
