JD Power has said that Best Buy has been ranked highest in customer satisfaction for the third consecutive year in its 2019 appliance retailer satisfaction study.

US multinational consumer electronics retailer Best Buy had a score of 864, while another US retail firm Lowe’s stood at second place with a score of 857.

The study, which was carried out in January, is based on responses from 2,028 customers who bought appliances from a major appliance retailer in the last 12 months.

It found that from store to home, appliance retailers must be consistent with customer service.

According to the study, from the moment the shopping experience starts on the store floor, appliance retailers should make a better impression with shoppers, beginning with the sales staff interaction till home delivery and installation.
