Products are noisy and falsely advertised as being quiet - aftersales are non-existent!

What a terrible experience. DO NOT BUY DEFY! Aftersales are non-existent and products are noisy and falsely advertised to be quiet.

My brand new washing machine is advertised as having a 55db noise rating, however, I noticed that it was extremely loud so I ran a db test and it hit up to 85db (false advertising defy!). Defy sent a technician out and he confirmed the unit was noisy. After receiving no further feedback, I phoned and was informed by Caseline at the Cape Town office that a second opinion was needed and that a second technician would come out to inspect the unit. Again, he confirmed that the unit was noisy. I received an SMS this morning to say that my job number was closed but I have not received any feedback. I phoned the technician and he told me that there was nothing that they could do and that I needed to be in contact with the store that I purchased it from. The store has been trying to get feedback on the matter too and it seems we are being ignored by Defy Cape Town!

Details sent as requested but still no feedback from Defy Caoe Town. I have been trying to phone for 2 days now, and so has the sales rep from the store and it just rings and rings, no answer. Absolutely terrible service.

So both technicians who came to inspect the machine confirmed that the unit was noisy but your response here states otherwise, I even have photos of the job card - so who are you trying to fool? The advert says 55db noise rating but this machine goes up to 85db (as witnessed by both technicians). So clearly Defy has no problem when it comes to false advertising.

I will never purchase Defy ever again - STAY AWAY FROM DEFY! 110% would NEVER RECOMMEND!
