Went to Maplins to try get some electronic components (capacitors, resistors LED’s etc.). However I found everything to be overpriced and the staff seemed very unfriendly.

Been in here a few times for various things from computer parts to cctv hubs but everyfike is the same bad experience. Last time I went in for a cctv unit the girl in fairness looked up the options I wanted which was fine but then came back to me with different prices? I was told to order online not in the store as the store price for this item was € 100+ higher than the online item…
It seems like such a strange setup and from reading other reviews it’s common so hopefully maplin get their act together and fix the Irish side of their business.

I like wandering around maplins, they have gadgets galore which I approve of.
The shop is aimed at technology, from cables to pc’s to lightbulbs you can control with your iphone.
Its all very good, but some seriously overpriced things going on. I saw an iphone 5s charging cable (not apple) for 32 euro last week! A real one is only 19euro which is a rip off anyway. But 32! seriously guys you need to check your stock out.
However occasionally you get some good value stuff, like the wifi keyboard with touchpad I got for 50 euro the other day. Pretty good value I thought.
The tools they sell are generally decently priced and if you are missing a power supply they are great for fixing that problem.
Overall though if you shop here check the prices before buying its quite likely you can get it cheaper somewhere else.

OK, most of the stuff here are for the more tech heads out there who like to build their own computers.
Me? I was attracted by the bargain bin outside filled with voice changers. Reduced to half price: 6.49 EUR. That’s three kiddies pressies sorted in one fell swoop. I’m sure their parents will thank me later for getting a noisy toy.
I also picked up three PP3 batteries to wrap with each one, but at the till the nice lady said there was a three pack of PP3s that cost the price of one. This is what makes people come back, nice staff that are helpful, proper helpful.

I don’t usually do my shopping there because they most often don’t have what I’m after :) I guess my needs are very specific and so I’m better off buying it online…
Not this time though. Not only they had what I was after, I got it 45% cheaper than anywhere else and their expert advice saved me an disappointment when I got home too. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Overpriced. You can get much better value online. However if you’re in a pinch and don’t mind paying too much this is the place. However, I hope you know what you’re looking for because the staff are unknowledgeable and unhelpful.

The best thing about this place is that unmistakable smell of computers when I walk in the door. The second best is the range of computer doodads and doohickeys that I lust after but can’t afford. Now the in-​store range and price of PC components isn’t quite as great as some people say but their online store can’t be beat. In terms of an electronics retail store though it’s above average.
Sometimes I’ll find myself looking at a little yellow plastic casing with wires sticking out odd places and trying my best to figure out what precisely it does. It stocks a hell of a lot of specialist gear that’s probably far cheaper online and the recordable DVDs and the like are a decent price although I’ve seen cheaper ones in Tesco.
All in all a pretty unremarkable business but one that does exactly what it says on the tin. Nice to browse in but the kind of place you go to knowing exactly what you want.

Maplins is great for all your computer and tv needs, but you can also get all sorts of rechargeable batteries and multi-​plug extension cords here. The staff are very helpful and know their way around electronics and the prices are very reasonable as well.
It can be a bit confusing when you walk in, because the store is pretty large but if you just ask one of the lads working here, they’ll sort you out in no time.

I love Maplin. Largely because I’m rarely in a position where I am the least nerdy person in a room. Also, it’s not that uncommon to go in looking for an ethernet cable and come out with a remote control helicopter, 160 blank DVD’s and a strobe light. It sells all kinds of computer paraphenalia as well as what some might call ‘toys for big boys’ or in other words ‘gifts for boyfriend’s that are so dull their girlfriends can’t think of anything to buy them so they appeal to their other half’s inner child’.
It’s dirt cheap and the place to go for cables, usb hubs etc. But in my experience, almost everything breaks quickly. Be careful.

If you are looking for something specific to fix that dodgy connection at the back of your TV or stereo, or maybe you have a urge to enhance your stage performance with some funky lights… there are very few places that will cater to everyones needs when it comes to electrical appliances… Maplins however is one of the few.
This store is well laid out offering a broad range of appliances and connections for anything from your laptop to a DJ mixer. There is always a lot of staff, who at least seem to know what they are talking about.
However while their prices may seem reasonable there is a huge mark-​up on the little things… and while this may not seem too bad at first… you will see the numbers adding up when you pick up the wires and adaptors that are essential with most purchases.
Go for the variety and stay for the service. but make sure you have plenty in the bank and make sure you don’t try walking out the fire exit — like i did… its a little confusing.

Maplin is probably one of the best places to buy electronic and computer gear in Dublin. Their range alone is unbeatable, but I go for the prices.
It’s also full of nerdy looking men with rain jackets– a sure sign of a good computer shop.

Maplin is a good shop if you are looking for something specific and you know exactly what it is.
The store is laid out in a strange fashion, there is quite a bit actually in the shop, but the majority of the stock is actually off the floor and can be chosen from the instore catalogue (much like argos)
Price wise they are quite competetive, and on alot of major items (hard drives, Bulk DVD’s etc) they can’t really be beaten. But on other items in fact you can find them much cheaper elsewhere.
The staf are very helpful and all seem well clued in as to your needes and the technical capabilities of almost everything in store.
