Defy, such a deception not the brand it used to be

I bought a friend a two plate stove with oven in July 2021, by October the paint is already peeling around the plates and the big plate isn't working. Everyshop collected the stove and took it to the manufacturer to repair and we waited around 21 to 25 days. upon return the oven door isn't closing and the plate is still not working. We logged a call this time I'm told to go to my nearest store and I'm livid because I bought the stove online and I don't live close to where the stove is at. Luckily we're told they'll collect the stove but the stove is returned, had to wait over 21 days again and it still returned unrepaired. So the family spend the festive season without a stove. I tell everyshop to take their dramatic stove and give me my money, to which they rep**** the Defy only repairs doesn't refund. They collected the stove again and it was returned a few days ago, the big plate is not working and the small plate is painfully slow. I even sent them a video with the lit stove at full blast yet some had their hand place on the big plate, the small one struggles to heat up a very small amount of water. Had we gotten our money back we would of had a stove for Christmas, now we're held to ransom over such a disappointing buy, I really expected more from this house hold name. I am up to here with Everyshop and Defy. Be fore warned, trad with e***xtra care.

We finally got a replacement stove thank goodness but this was definitely an experience would never wish upon anyone.

Hi Defy

The stove is apparently being returned to us but I honestly have had my fare share with this stove. I don't feel it should have gone out to market, it's a real let down. Have we not suffered enough, we're in the middle of winter and can't even cook. We didn't have stove in the festive season as well, why are you subjecting us to so such discomfort. We trusted your brand but it was a let down, why won't you return our money because your product is clearly not worth it.
