Do NOT buy from this retail location unless you want to be completely stranded when your expensive product breaks.
I purchased a very expensive Dreame robot vacuum/mop at this UTC La Jolla location after being explicitly assured by the store manager, Michael, that I would be buying a reliable product with great support. That was completely false. The unit has already failed and required repair TWICE in just a few short months of normal use.
What is absolutely unacceptable, however, is the deceptive lack of disclosure at the point of sale. Michael conveniently failed to mention a critical Dreame policy: because I purchased from this physical "offline" store, Dreame Corporate will NOT honor a direct product replacement. Corporate support just informed me I am entirely blocked from a direct exchange through them and pushed me back to the retailer.
I am now stuck with a repeatedly defective, expensive product, being passed back and forth between corporate and this store, with neither willing to take ownership. If the manager had disclosed this restrictive replacement policy upfront, I never would have purchased it here.
I expect the management of this store to contact me immediately to process a full refund or provide a brand-new replacement unit. Until this is resolved, I strongly warn anyone against spending their money at this location, buy directly online if you want your replacement requests actually honored or don't buy at all. I am extremely unhappy with the inconsistency of this product for extremely high price point. read more
