“Great products, great service!”

Kathleen K.
4/5/21

I've shopped at Cookstore.ca many times over the past 5 years. Their selection of high quality cookware is among the best I've seen in Canada. While delivery sometimes takes a little while, they keep me posted and always come through -- and I've found it's worth the wait for excellent products, some which can't be found anywhere else. Recently, they went above and beyond: I had ordered a high-end item that unfortunately had a defect that was revealed on use; when I went to the manufacturer, their customer service was surprisingly and disappointingly inadequate. I contacted Cookstore.ca and explained the situation, and without any further questions they made it right. Kudos to Cookstore.ca for being a responsive -- and responsible -- retailer!

“This deserves 0 stars. I ordered my espresso machine in Oct 2022. It still has not arrived! Rip off”

This deserves 0 stars, but I'm forced to give it a star. I ordered my espresso machine in Oct 2022. It still has not arrived! Rip off! Do not buy anything from this store. No response from so called customer service after repeated emails to them. Initially they did and then disappeared with my money.

The five star rating is because of the level of customer service I received. I was really unhappy with the product I received and they issued a whole refund.

But avoid buying the Weston - Pro 160L 24 Tray 1200 Dehydrator!

See original email below;

Hello,

Re: Weston - Pro 160L 24 Tray 1200 Dehydrator

I own a small beef jerky company from Montreal. This machine was bought as a backup in case our main dryers broke down and we had to keep producing until they could be services. We decided to give it a test yesterday.

Honestly I don't know where to begin. This product is beyond disappointing, I don't even know how it could be called a dehydrator. To be honest, it should be pulled from your shelves as I truly believe it is flawed by design and can cause serious health problems.

I've attached pictures to show what we've had to deal with. Please note, we did not overload the machine, in fact we reduced the batch amount to see how it would perform. The back 3 spaces as well as the front 4 spaces were left empty, as well as middle gap for the diffuser to maximize air flow. Only 20 or the 24 racks were used.

First off, the racks don't fit the machine properly, they should be flush with the rack holders, not extend past them. The rear part of the racks go right up to the back of the machine, blocking a portion of the air circulation.

The pictures show what we had after 10 hours of drying, half the batch was still raw. We had to rotate the racks 4 times, which completely defeats the point of having so many racks if it doesn't dry everything at once. I honestly don't even trust the digital thermometer built into the machine.

We had to throw out all 25 lbs of the meat because of concern that there may be bacteria accumulation due to the raw portions. Last thing we would want is for a customer to get sick!

I understand that this is not your fault, but a manufacturer issue.

I would like to return the dryer, I don't necessarily need a refund, a store credit would be fine as well.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers,

Alex
