Bought a Toshiba 65 TV from ao, had a problem with TV losing picture, intermittent picture quality. It was 1 day out of a 1 year warranty on day of purchase but less than a year on day of delivery.. Not ao or Toshiba would take any responsibility. More into giving me the run around with frustration. Service from ao ebay and Toshiba UK absolutely rubbish..

TOSHIBA Canvio Ready 2TB HDD

I bought this external hard drive from ARGOS / Sainsbury's, as it was on special offer.

For those who also own an ENG camcorder, I can highly recommend this device.
My Panasonic HC-X1 4K Professional ENG camcorder recognised the device straight away, but had to be formatted to the camcorder's file system, and I was able to copy a number of wildlife "Rushes" (video files) to the external hard drive for obvious backup purposes.

Well pleased with my purchase today! :-)

Never buying Toshiba again

Freeview needs constant retuning, tv guide rarely works properly, it has various annoying technical glitches and lagging remote control issues and on any on-demand service it switches off after ten minutes of being paused, so you have to go back into a given app and hope it has kept your place (not always the case)
Absolutely not worth any money saved on this cheap but awful TV

Toshiba 50QA5D63DB 'Not So' Smart TV

Toshiba 50QA5D63DB 'Not So' Smart TV. OMG where do I start with this overpriced piece of crap? Short version: Bought it but didn't use it for 2.5 years as we moved home and used a different TV. After 2.5 years unpacked it and found it's basically unfit for purpose. It's slow to respond or doesn't respond at all. The user manual is about as clear as a well stirred muddy puddle, which is where I would like to through this waste of resources. Obviuosly I'm well beyond any consumer rights without a major fight and to be honest I've got better things to do than fight the retailer in court over this. All I can do is warn anyone that will listen to research any product with a Toshiba badge on it. I'll never have anything from them in my house again.

Toshiba terrible

Had a tv. Had it 3 years , not always used in that 3 years . Turned it on , 6 days ago, sound there but nothing else works. Contacted Toshiba, customer care 💩💩💩 basically my fault and told me to fix it ! Explained everything including my health but nothing scripted 💩💩💩 no help and put it all on me. Don't tell me £399 for 3 years years minus say 8 to 12 months months tv not used is fair. TOSHIBA ARE A HORRIBLE COMPANY. Customer care horrendous, their warranty excuse is a get out nothing more . NEVER BUYING TOSHIBA AGAIN

I have a terrible experience buying…

I have a terrible experience buying Toshiba Fridge GR-TR735WE-PGX-GG which is the worst decision model I ever made.

Was shifting house in Dec last year and fridge did not came on the scheduled delivery. When it came on scheduled day, delivery man showed attitude and did not explain further. I just throw the box and wasn’t bothered on the streaming of the door frame was actually faulty and should have been rejected on the spot.

After a few months, the build up of water at 2nd door become very obvious and I only came to know the door sponge framing is actually faulty.

Everyday I called Harvey Norman who actually helped arranged on-site support immediately.

The door water buildup is getting worst and totally not cold. Called Toshiba customer support and was told this is normal and will go away after 6 days.

How to tolerate when the fridge cannot even serve its basic purpose of keeping food fresh (I can’t keep my fruits and veg fresh as the fridge temp is the same as room temp) 😭😭 and ice cube chamber is totally faulty today on 19 July 2025. I was told this is normal and does not deserve a change of fridge.😭😭😭

Unreliable TV’s coupled with horrible customer service

I purchased a Toshiba TV from Tescos on Black Friday in 2020. The model number is 58UL2B63DB

By 2021 December, the TV was no longer working it had lines running down the middle of the screen. I contacted Toshiba and got the worse support you could get, “unplug and plug the tv” etc. in the end, they told me as 13 months has elapsed since purchasing the TV it’s out of warranty.

13 months for a TV is ridiculous, I didn’t know my rights at the time but I should have stated my rights as per the Consumer Rights Act as that is unsuitable.

Since then, I’ve purchased another reliable brand TV and it’s lasted me till this day nearly 4 years and running fine.

If I could give it 0 stars I would

If I could give it 0 stars I would! Worst TV ever. Closes all apps down mid watch. Got on chat to Toshiba greeted by a rude employee that told me it was because we had it connected to WiFi and not Ethernet! What a load of rubbish. Decided to try the Ethernet which is currently hanging from tv as WiFi box is other side of room and apps are still just closing down while watching. Told to send a what’s app with it happening . That was Saturday it’s now Thursday and I still haven’t had any response from them. Would never buy Toshiba again!

Awful TV

Awful TV. I wish I read all the terrible reviews before buying. Had TV a year and it started going faulty just after the warranty expired.Apps don't work on Tzv since fault developed or keep on freezing so had to buy a Fire stick!

Very poor quality TV for £250 and customer service pretty bad too - they posted a USB stick to update software, which made things even worse. I would not recommend. I gave up and bought an LG TV

Disappointing Experience with Toshiba TV (50-inch)

I purchased a Toshiba 50-inch TV in October 2022, and after just a little over a year of use, I’m extremely disappointed. The TV has started showing vertical lines across the screen, particularly during bright scenes. The issue is intermittent but has become worse over time, even after replacing the T-Con board. I expected much better durability for a TV in this price range. After researching, it seems like this is a common issue with Toshiba TVs, which is concerning. I would not recommend this brand if you’re looking for reliability.

Bought Toshiba TV a year ago

Bought Toshiba TV a year ago. It completely went a day after 1 year guarantee. Seller passed me on to Toshiba Support, who were awful

They posted me a USB stick to plug into TV for software update. This updated TV software but I can't update again and TV apps regularly freezing. Can't update channels now so left with a basic TV with apps that don't work properly & keep on freezing.

Apparently it's an android TV that updates regularly, but the updates cause numerous issues. I should have bought a smart TV like the LG TV I had previously. I definitely won't buy Toshiba TV again. Toshiba is a rubbish TV brand. Waste of £250.
