VERIMARK GUARANTEES

I bought a Genesis Hydrovac Extreme 2 on 14/04/2019, like any excited customer, I tried it immediately when I got home, only to find after about 20 minutes use it stopped spraying water. I took it back the very next day, and they exchanged it for me no questions asked.

I was very happy for a while until the machine did exactly the same. So the guide included in the box stated 3 YEAR GUARANTEE! All happy I returned the machine to Verimark on Monday 29/06/2020. According to the lady behind the counter, if the machine breaks within the first 3 months they exchange it, but because it's after 6 months, they have to send it to their repair centre and they only collect on Fridays. They would collect it that week Friday 03/07/2020, and it would be back by the following week Friday 10/07/2020.

I phoned the shop on Friday 10/07/2020, and the lady told me that the machine has not even left their premises yet! I was really angry and the lady told me that it would leave that day and that they had problems with their courier people. So I left it another week, and phoned them again on next Friday again 17/07/2020, with the same answer.... IT HAS NOT EVEN LEFT THE PREMISES YET!!!! I MEAN, COME ON PEOPLE, IS THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE??? Not even one phone call to update the customer what is happening and what is going on??? And what does a 3 year guarantee mean??? A guarantee tells me replacement or money back? A warranty tells me repair!

That is not the only problems I have with the machine...

The pipes does not clip in easy at all, I have to literally wiggle it in circle position until it eventually pops in. Same with the fittings, I have to pinch the pipe between my legs and wiggle it up and down until it pops in. The short pipe that pops into the water tank at the bottom and into the machine at the top, does not pop into either of the holes anymore.

So yes... I am not satisfied at all!!! NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER! I will never buy any products from Verimark again.

Good day,
Thank you for the response.

Please tell me, why does your sales people not explain your full terms and conditions of your guarantee when you purchase a product?

  1. I took my machine to Verimark Riversquare Three Rivers and also provided them with proof of purchase.
  2. Repair Reference Number: 76261
