TrimTech is taking customers for a ride, and Makro isn’t helping customers

I bought a Trimtech trimmer from Makro in January or February this year. I used it maybe 6 times, as it was lockdown and winter. My gardener told me the machine is broken. I handed it in at Makro, and received a call that the motor needs to be replaced, at a cost. The machine is supposed to have a 1 year warranty. I was told by the lady the motor is excluded from the warranty, as per the manual. The motor is what is needed to power the machine. I read the exclusions last night when I got home, and the motor is definitely not listed as an exclusion on the warranty. It seems Trimtech has a lot of negative reviews on all platforms, and Makro is not accommodating customers to fight against these decisions.

Reviewer Update
This matter is still not resolved. The assessment changed when I countered the initial feedback with a copy of the warranty. This is a month later and still not resolved. There is also no possible way to validate the pictures taken were actually my machine. Naila in the refunds department and Thabo, the store manager, are having a contest as to whom can provide the worst service. There is a consumer protection act which I will rely on.
