Russell Hobs appliances- now total *******

I'm beyond fed up with paying a premium for Russell Hobs appliances I bought 7 expensive tower fans a while back, only one works now I bought- once again an expensive - mister fan. The other day a blade broke off while it was running. Someone cld have been badly hurt. In addition it's nonsensical for them to have a wire grate as obviously will rust with the misting Sheer stupidity not to have a decent good quality plastic grass This is not the end of my dissatisfaction Bought a kettle/toaster combination. S Just out of warranty The toaster now doesn't work With the Russell Hobs appliances I worked out cost me a whopping +- R10000 (ten thousand rand) Do these people now make inferior products, some years back the product was reliable and lasted beyond guarantee period Pretty disgusting

Reviewer Update
At home living brands AKA RUSSELL HOBBS
Leigh-Anne Spindler is "supposedly the consumer and customer servic liason manager
More like DAMAGER
I have no idea why she holds that position
She has absolutely NO CUSTOMER LIASON SKILLS, she is abrasive, argumentative and does not understand the meaning of being helpful
What she is really GOOD AT is pouring fuel onto an already out of control fire
I've never heard so many excuses versus solutions
I also fail to understan why - after spending almost R10000 on now defunct/UNFIXABLE Russel Hobs appliances I'm not allowed to take the items back to the retailer I purchased them from & home of living brands can uplift on their next delivery
Being a disabled person I cannot do a round trip of over 100km to deliver the items to their workshop in some God forsaken place, I would get totally lost
Sooooo bottom line - if item is 2 years plus 1 day old, a smidge out of warrant( don't bother trying to it it fixed- seems they don't stock parts)
This is a competitive market with many other reliable reasonably priced brands
