The top-rated retail brands in Australia have been named by Finder, following a survey of 10,000 Australians, in partnership with research data platform, Dynata.

Brands were rated across a range of metrics including customer service, product range, value for money, trustworthiness and product quality. These metrics were then weighted to determine the winning brands in four areas per vertical – most loved, most trusted, top value and legendary customer service. 

Appliances Online dominated the winner’s list, receiving six of eight awards, including Most Loved Brand, Top Value Brand and Legendary Service across both electronics and whitegoods retailer categories.

Big W was named the Most Trusted Brand in the electronics retailer category and JB Hi Fi was recognised as the Most Trusted Brand in the whitegoods retailer category.

The Good Guys and Bing Lee were recognised as the second and third Most Loved Brand, Most Trusted Brand and Legendary Service, in the whitegoods retailer category. In addition, Bing Lee and The Good Guys were named the second and third Top Value Brand respectively.

Appliances Online general manager James Bartlett said, “Customer service is the heart of our business and our legendary service offering, so to have Australians vote for us and to win six awards, making us the most awarded retailer in Finder’s Customer Satisfaction Awards is an incredibly proud moment for our entire team.
