Don't buy products from Homemark

I bought a Milex 3 in 1 robot vacuum and mop from Takealot in 2019. The machine proved faulty after a few months and I sent it in for repairs. Takealot replaced the device. After 3 months the new device stopped working due to one of the wheels not functioning properly. I again contacted Takealot, but they rep**** that the warranty period of the first device has expired, and the warranty does not get extended when they replace a device. I was advised to contact Homemark, the supplier where Takealot sourced the device. I contacted Homemark, and the person at customer care told me they will send a courier to pick up the device for assessment. I waited a month, without anything happening, and contacted them again. This time I had to courier the device to Homemark's repair center. I did that, and had no feedback whatsoever from Homemark. I contacted customer care on numerous occasions, without any feedback. After about a month, the customer care agent again advised me to send the device in for assessment. I rep**** it was already done, and sent the waybill of the courier via email. I still had no feedback to indicate receipt of the device, or the status of repair. I again tried to contact the customer service yesterday, but there was no answer. The device was received by the workshop on 3 March 2021 already. I believe this matter should have been resolved already. The service I receive is really disappointing.

Reviewer Update
After writing this review, the customer care agent finally phoned me. He indicated that the device was repaired and sent via courier on 11 March already. Unfortunately the person sending the parcel did not write down my address properly, and also failed to include a phone number. He vouched to courier the device on the same day, which he informed me was done. The courier delivered the parcel yesterday. So far, the device seems to be working. I hope it functions for a very long time, because it really is a great help in my house. Hopefully Homemark will improve their service delivery in future.
