Bad quality product / factory flaw

I purchased a Hydrovac Plus at a Makro during the December holidays. I was really amazed by the suction power on this little unit. I must note unfortunately that the attachments seem quite cheap in comparison to the machine itself. I didn't mind this too much until recently when the hose came loose from the L-shaped tip where all the attachments fit into. On closer inspection it looks like these pieces were glued together. I am not sure if this is a factory defect or if a refurbished pipe was sold to me with a new vacuum. I sincerely hope I didn't pay for a new unit and received a refurbished one. Not really the sort of quality you would expect from a vacuum cleaner costing R1,999.
