Dead twice!
Our Princess bread maker came back yesterday from Pensonic service center after almost 4 weeks of warranty claim. Read about the first warranty claim here. According to the service center, they had baked a cake to test if it was working. So, I went home with the bread maker happily. But when I was coaching half way through, LA called to let me know that it was not working. The kneading blades were not turning at all. Another waste of ingredients.
This morning I switched on the bread maker without any ingredients in it. It was not working. I left it turned on for almost an hour and it was not working. So I called the Pensonic service center and one of the lady told me immediately that their headquarters called them to get the unit back to have the circuit board replaced. They offered to collect from my house. Hmm… otherwise I would have the chance to shoot them.
Anyway, Pensonic service vehicle came to collect after noon. Next time when it comes back, it better works. Otherwise, I am going to take this to consumer court and have them to reimburse the material wasted.
If you are planning to buy a bread maker, don’t buy Princess bread maker! I hope Princess will be reading this blog. Beef up your quality, Princess!

I should think they should give you a new unit or refund you the money, period. No point dealing with a lousy product - there is a breach of merchantibility and warranty here. Besides, if they mess around with the unit (knowing the techical abilities of these people), they might damage the unit and cause you serious problems (accidents or fire). I would gently tell them that given you are without a workable unit for more than a month, they should refund you the money for the unit price that you pay or give you a new unit. If possible, tell them you will write to the Panosonic headquaters and consumer magazines.
Let see what is the outcome. This time, I will take it to consumer court.
I have commented in other people’s website as well. More people will read about it. So, hopefully someone from Princess headquarters will read about it. Princess’s local distributor is trying to save cost. These negative feedback is actually bad for Princess business and if they are serious about customer satisfaction.
[...] Finally, our Princess bread maker was back last Friday. The authorized service center, Pensonic, had its service man to deliver to our home. Read about the stories here and here. [...]
