Three months ago, I visited the WMF store at Zorlu Center and asked a sales consultant for information about blenders. I explained that I wanted to prepare smoothies and appetizers, mentioning that my current blender’s container was too small and that I needed a product capable of making hummus. I listed the ingredients for hummus, and the consultant confidently assured me that the blender they recommended—one of their most powerful and expensive models—would easily handle the task. Trusting their recommendation, I purchased the product. However, the blender struggles to process a mixture of boiled chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, water, and spices. I tested it three times, and it only worked when I filled the entire container with water. In other words, it cannot even blend soft ingredients like boiled chickpeas. I had specifically asked the consultant about this issue before purchasing to avoid such problems. I paid 3-4 times more than comparable products, expecting better performance.
Due to a health issue, I could not follow up on the matter immediately. Last week, I tried blending button mushrooms, but the blender failed to process them at all. I contacted customer service to request a return, and they instructed me to send the product to service. I took it to the store, explained the issue, and even showed the sales consultant a video of the blender failing to blend the mushrooms. The consultant agreed that the product should have no problem processing much harder ingredients and accepted my return request. However, yesterday, I received a call from the service department informing me that there was no issue with the product and that it would be sent back to me. I explained the situation again but received the same response.
I believe I was misled by the store staff into purchasing the wrong product. Additionally, the blender does not even perform basic blending, and the brand refuses to take responsibility. I demand a full refund immediately!
