How Which? ranks electrical sites

The electrical appliances category is one of eight in the Which? survey of online shops.

In July 2012, Which? surveyed 14,353 online members about the online shops they'd used to buy electrical appliances over the previous six months. The Customer Score is based on members' satisfaction with the site and your likelihood of recommending it to a friend.

Our respondents also rated price, product stock (including range and availability), website usability, delivery and returns (where applicable). These star ratings are displayed in the table.
