“Q) When is a 3 year warranty not valid for 3 years? A) When Salter offer it.
I generally try to buy high quality electrical items and don't mind spending a little more on the basis they will last longer. I purchased a Salter XL sandwich maker just over a year ago which came with a 3 year warranty. The unit is very poorly made and the plastic clasp broke recently - after 1 year but well within 3. Got in touch with Salter who refused to honour warranty because i hadn't registered it with them, despite me providing original purchase receipt. They even suggested i take the item to an electrician to repair the cheap plastic part that failed. I have a 30year old Breville that still works but it's a bit smaller. This will be my last Salter purchase. Poor quality products and dire customer service.”
“I was given as a gift a NutriPro 1200, and after just one use, it wouldn’t work. After many emails, the company refused to replace it. The customer service is atrocious, this is also reflected on many reviews.
I strongly advise any potential customer be very wary of this unprofessional company. It is also impossible to speak to anyone in person, only through the internet, which discriminates against those who do not subscribe to the internet.”
“This company do Not deal in customer care at all they are a utter disgrace ,brought a small pan off them 18 months ago had to go through another company who deals with customer issues first then all the photos bearing in mind it’s a Life Time guarantee receipt a bit faded but keep wrapping ect that pan was in...bottom line wouldn’t do a thing been going on for ages....Do Not Buy Anything From Salter other reviews say it!!all!!!”
“Purchased the SALTER rose gold edition toaster - as per the other reviews, it developed a burning smell after about 2 months of use. I contact SALTER under the guarantee and was told to take the issue up with the original retailer. Very disappointing service from what used to be a great brand but now is little more than cheaply produced, over-priced trash.”
“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.”
