Unimpressed with Salton and Pick n Pay.

We bought a Salton electric kettle from the Woodmead Hypermarket in June last year. After a few months the spout filter was tattered, but we let it pass. Over the past few days switching the kettle on became more and more difficult, and today it wouldn't switch on at all, so we travelled 4 km to the store, where it was accepted for repair, which would take about 3 weeks, when we will have to go back. So we will be without an electric kettle for this time and are unimpressed with both Pick Pay and Salton..
