“I purchased the Salter kettle from Lidl, after two weeks in use I noticed a burning smell , it consequently stopped working , having misplaced the receipt I took the kettle back to Lidl who exchanged the item less than a week later again I noticed a burning smell and the kettle stopped working . Again I went back to the store but was told they could no longer help me and I was advised to contact Lidl head office. I was curious so I googled reviews for this product and realized I was not the only one who had experienced burning then the stopped working”
“I recently purchased the Salter EK2649RG Pyramid Kettle from Lidl. I initially noticed a slight burning smell from the kettle but took it to be the finish settling in, After a few days the product stopped working, unfortunately I no longer had the receipt so decided to investigate, on removing the bottom housing I observed that the wiring was in contact with the housing and had burned a hole through. I decided to advise the company of the issue as it might have been of interest to them and I could not return it but their best response was that because I had opened it the guarantee was void, no apology, no interest that may have improved the process just the get out of jail card..."You opened it" Best avoided.”
“I purchased a salter 3in1 snack maker, Thank heavens it was through Amazon. I plugged it in and followed the instructions carefully to produce I think the best two waffles I have ever eaten. HOWEVER I then reloaded again following the instructions. I waited for the steam to stop it didn't instead it turned to smoke, I immediately disconnected from power. On trying to open the unit it fell apart, all the plastic parts had melted including the plate retaining clips. I contacted Salter Customer Service the next morning who could do nothing except suggest I return the item to the retailer. Contacted Amazon, no problem the unit was returned the following day. This is why I shop at Amazon. On reading the reviews I understand that this is not the first time this has happened with regard to the Salter 3 in 1b.”
