Currys or AO? Compare the whole appliance purchase
The lowest ticket price is only the start. Compare models, delivery, fitting and removal before choosing your next appliance.
Compare the identical appliance model at Currys and AO.com, then add delivery, fitting and removal. The better choice is the one that meets your needs at the lower complete cost.
Start with the same model
Currys and AO.com both list home appliances. Compare the manufacturer’s complete model number, not just a similar product name. Capacity, dimensions and included accessories can differ even when the photographs look almost identical.
Build a complete price
Write down the appliance price, delivery charge, installation cost and removal charge for each retailer. AO.com describes installation and removal services on its help pages; availability and costs depend on the product and order. Select your postcode and required services before making a final comparison.
Check any price-match conditions
Currys publishes a Price Promise and describes a price-match window of seven days after purchase. This is subject to its current terms. Save the competing listing and check eligibility with Currys before treating a potential match as a confirmed saving.
Plan the delivery day
Measure the appliance space and access route. Check whether doors, stairs, pipework or electrical connections affect the service. Ask the retailer about preparation rather than assuming every task is included.
Choose the basket that fits your situation
A household replacing a broken washing machine may value an available installation slot differently from someone furnishing a kitchen next month. Compare what you need, then use the relevant retailer link to check the live basket. We have not tested these services personally and do not claim either retailer is always cheaper.
Your questions answered
Is AO always cheaper than Currys?+
No. Prices and service costs vary by model, postcode and delivery choice. Compare complete baskets for the same product.
Should I include installation in the comparison?+
Yes, if you need it. Include the services you will actually use at both retailers.
