Poot service, poor products

I bought a Genesis Mini Max vacuum cleaner from Verimark Kolonnade and on the second use, it just stopped working and started producing black smoke. I took it back and requested a refund, which they refused to give me and told me to call their head office. I called and they still refused to refund me, but I am not confident in a product that just blows up for no apparent reason. To make matters worse, the shop assistants at Kolonnade were quite rude and unprofessional, accusing me of lying that I had only used the product twice.

Thank you for your response.

As I mentioned, the machine stopped working on the second use and it is still within six months of purchase. I am not comfortable with getting a repaired machine as I have lost confidence in the product itself, taking it back will only be a waste of my precious and hard-to-come-by money as I am sure I will not use it again.

May you kindly advise on the way forward.

In your email, you imp**** that I abused the product? Is it not designed to work on household carpets? How do we know that it was not defective from the beginning?
