Disappointed in the product quality

I purchased an Ekon Insert Electric Fire from you a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately there have been faults with both the original fire delivered and the replacement, which was delivered last Thursday 27th October. The original, delivered on 15th October, had a fault in the illumination system - there was a periodic 'clicking' sound due to a problem with a misalignment of the motor driving the illumination system. The company Be Modern took this back and delivered a replacement yesterday - 27th October. When I opened the replacement this morning, some of the polystyrene packing was broken and I discovered a two further faults with the replacement fire: 1). Scratch marks on the right hand side of the frame 2). Glass panel at the front of the electric fire loose. The glass panel was rattling as soon as I removed the cooker from the packaging

Disgruntled customer 424 - 1 / 5 - 29/05/2023

Width size is wrong

The manufacturer decided to put the power cables coming out of the side, as such the stated width is not correct. The extra centimeter meant it didn't fit. Extremely poor design and extra poor to get the dimensions wrong, and very poor of B&Q to not have noticed this in order to warn their customers. One star because this cannot be used, it serves no purpose in our home.
