Irons Not getting hot, going for repairs and coming back leaking.

I bought an iron in February, by July it would come on and not be hot at all. I then took it back to Game because of the guarantee from Verimark. On the day that i had returned it, i bought another Genesis iron, I used it from August till last week and now it is doing the same thing.

Last week i was told that i need to go and pick up the iron that was "fixed" but it came back with a new problem, it was leaking.

Now i do not have an iron, because both irons are not working. At this point i have some serious trust issues with Verimark, It takes forever for them to fix the irons and not only that, I am now out of pocket x2. The irons have never been dropped I iron once a week. At this point i would like to just get a refund and go with another brand. I bought these irons with hope that i will rest for a year or two, Its been five months for one Iron and 2 months for the other.

Hi, i am yet to return the second one. I will do that tomorrow. However, the details of the first one is:

Store: Game Springs Mall. Gauteng
Repair Reference Number: ***

The iron was sent in for repairs because it was not heating up. It came back leaking. Mind you i sent it in on the 25th August and only got it back last week Saturday. So what was i supposed to do if i had not yet gotten another iron only for it to stop working last week Tuesday. Now i will be taking back both irons. I am really so irritated. I do not think you can even fix this because now i will have to wait for another 2 months to get an iron. May i please have a refund i will go with a more reliable brand.

This is bad. So what else must i do during the period that i am waiting for you to "FIX IT" ?

Hi i have returned both irons again. I just feel like its really an invonvinience to purchase 2 irons worth R849 and they have the same issue. I returned both irons today as my only time off was today. I hope i don't have to wait another 2 months for you to bother sorting it out. If you cannot fix it i will gladly accept my money back because i cannot return irons every 3 months. It makes absolutely no sense at all.
