Sells faulty flatirons

I purchased a silver bullet flat iron at Partners Blueroute Mall in May 2023 for R1450. Upon using it the weekend it jst stopped working as it went off whilst doing my hair. I have set the heat above 200 even tho the max heat is 230 I dnt use it daily and it basically still looks brand new. I called Partners Blueroute and was told immediately that my 6 month warranty is over and I should take it somewhere to have it checked for my own account. I feel really ****** as they probably sold me a faulty flat iron that was not cheap. They should be the ones to check out their goods and pay for 1st time fixes especially if it's discovered that they sold me faulty items and the item is way less than a year old. I have a flat iron of clicks for 4years that was nly R300 and it's still working so they need to check out the faulty electronics they selling to struggling females
