Manor - big no-no

Manor is a department store here in Zürich. They sold me a soda machine about half a year ago. This device makes bubbles in water, so instead of having to buy heavy pet-bottles with fizzy water you make it yourself with tap water and the soda machine.

Now, the thingy inside, actually producing the bubbles, needs to be changed after 90 liters of water. Fair enough.

When bought I was told that the thingy could be changed at the place where I normally shop food. Not any more.

LB was sent to Manor to enquire. Turns out they can indeed order the replacement thingy, but only for another 6 months. What an excellent business idea! Sell something. And then don't make the parts that need replacing. Guess what? You need to buy a new one. Whatever it is.

Think I'm buying the next one at Manor :) ?? Think again.
