Folks,
I've just received my 3rd towel radiator (cat #16899) from Screwfix.
The first one had rusty marks in the chrome on the top just where the plug screws in, so that had to go back.
A replacement duly arrived which looked fine. I installrd that, and connected up the water. That was when I discovered it leaked at the joint between one of the horizontal bars and the left-hand upright.
So I complained about that one too. A repacement has just arrived and now I'm sending that one back as well. It's obviously been out and rejected before being sent on to me. There are scratches all over it and some of the chrome's chipped. It's been installed once before as you can see marks left by rust-stained water. I just can't believe they've sent me a second-hand (and probably defective) radiator. It reminds me of Dixons.
This time I'm getting one somwhere else. I'm impressed with Screwfix's efficiency but I think that some of their stuff is of very dubious quality. This radiator isn't the first duffer I've had from them.
Has anyone else found the same with this towel-rail is it just me?
