Sodastream shocking experiance with factory/manufacturing fault

I purchased a machine and later found out that my machine had a factory/manufacturing fault. I contacted Sodastream and their reply was to trade my machine in for a new model. They were taking no responsibility for their defective machine. I need to pay??? "you will only need to pay R1055" Shocking, Sodastream, will not see me again and I am sure to relay my experience with others.
