Süpürgem Bozuk ve ben böyle kullanmak istemiyorum.

VN2200 süpürgem şu an serviste termiği bozukmuş, olmazsa motor değişecekmiş ve bu benim içime hiç sinmiyor. Garantisi henüz dolmamış olan bir süpürgenin bu kadar kısa zamanda bozulması beni üzüyor. İyi bir marka diye aldığım aletin kısa zamanda bozulması sizce doğru mu? Bir odayı süpürüyorum hemen duruyor. Lütfen bana bu konuda yardımcı olurmusunuz? Ben süpürgemin yenisi ile değişmesini istiyorum. Yoksa mutsuz olacağım. Yardımlarınız için şimdiden teşekkürler. Canan Özden Türkiye
