Do it right the first time next time! Disappointing!

I'm not impressed. A brand I've trusted for years has let me down twice in a space less than a year. What an inconvenience, and to receive reps that can't answer any questions? Very disappointing. I regret giving Hisense the benefit of doubt, I should have walked away the 1st time.

***6 this was for the first fault, exchange took place on the 02/02/2026 but I found myself at Pic n Pay Maponya mall yet again on the 28/03/2026 to return the new sound bar for the very same issue as the 1st one. The fact that all my appliances are Hisense irritates me when I think of buying a different brand of soundbar because this is unacceptable. My time and fuel wasted for unplanned trips to Maponya Mall only to be told "I'm not sure" but Hisense rep.  I'm really not impressed.
