    What shop will demonstrate a working fridge/freezer/oven
    ...an iron or a vacuum cleaner?

    John Lewis demonstrated a dyson when I went in to look at them
  • Does Tesco allow you to test a kettle or toaster?

    Kettle's boil water and toasters toast bread, not a lot of scope for variation of function. If I go into Halfords, I can test any of their car stereos, as they have them on the wall. If not, Halfords will get one out of a box and show me how it works, before I buy.

    Argos offer a "no quibble" returns service.

    Almost every decent reputable retailer will do just that.

    As someone who works in retail under the op's circumstances he would not be given a refund , once any goods have been fitted that's it !

    OP would a glance at the instructions/specs not have given you an idea of the features without the need to fit it ?

    Do you sell car stereos?

    I'm sorry, I'm not being funny, but is that a serious question?

    Yes, quite serious. Do they simply explain what the functionality is, do they demo it or do they let you install into your car and let you have a play yourself?

    Don't forget we trying to ascertain whether the OP has gone beyond the sort of handling he could have done in a shop.

    They take it out of the box, plug it into the array, with the other stereos and demonstrate how it works.
