WMF Sold Me a Blender That Cannot Blend and Refuses to Process My Refund
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!
Take your product back and process my refund. Then you will have proven your claim. Otherwise, unfortunately, you will be a brand with sales consultants who mislead people and inflated products. I state that I will not let go of the issue, that I will announce the issue on social media every day until my refund is processed, and that I will share the product video. I kindly ask you to expedite the process to avoid mutual energy loss.

No, you did not try to reach me. When I called your customer representative, I encountered rudeness. They said that there is nothing they can do and that what the technical service said will be valid. I have a video of the product in my hand, how could I have faked this? I will not let this go, you cannot deceive me. What you did is clearly sending a defective product and not standing behind it. I don't want to waste time and energy, nor do I want to spend money, but if necessary, I will seek my rights legally and I suggest you not bring this process here. If this issue is not resolved this week, I will not hesitate to take the product, I will have spent considerable time, but I will spread detailed videos explaining this entire process on all social media platforms. Don't damage your brand, don't waste my time, process the refund!
