I purchased a built in coffee machine in May 2013 from Appliance City. I am going to find out how I paid for the item in the next couple of days-hopefully on my credit card. It had an initial problem but this was sorted promptly. The item came with a two year warranty.
The machine started giving problems in February 2015 whilst still under warranty. This started a series of various faults and at least 8 visits (possibly more!) over an 18 month period ,from a variety of technicians sent direct from Miele who manufactured the item. The last visit was Autumn 2016 and at that point I told Miele I did not want the machine as it was far too troublesome. Miele said that they would apply a further years warranty which I agreed to.
The machine then broke down again December just gone and was out of warranty at that stage so now Miele want to charge for a repair and will only offer a 20% on any parts needed. I then turned to Appliance City from whom I purchased the machine and it was the same story from them. I purchased the machine as Miele had a good reputation for longevity and trouble free running of their products. Can anyone clarify how I might get a result on this?
Ideally I would like my money back or a new machine from Appliance City. If this machine had run trouble free for four years then I would not have minded so much paying for a repair but the machine has been a nightmare for breakdowns over a prolonged period and I suspect it has a few inherent faults that Miele won't admit to.
I intend to get some sort of satisfaction from this as I am not at all happy with either Miele or Appliance City. Currently I have asked Appliance City to look at the matter again and if the are a member of any trade association that would handle an independent appeal. All advice on this matter ids greatly appreciated. Mc
