Tumble Dryer

I brought a tumble dryer on Argos buy now pay in 6 months, it is in its 5th month and it is rubbish! Doesn't dry all the time having to put things through 3 or 4 times and now about to call out the engineer for a second time as it is now broken again.
I don't want it, as it doesn't work well (if at all) what are my rights have looked through the previous threads but there are way too many sorry if this has been asked before

    If this the 2nd time it requires repairing then exercise your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and reject it for a refund/replacement.

    If it's jammed into a tight space it won't have the clearance for proper air flow, this is the primary reason for the stats to blow or trip out.


    So check you have the proper clearances for it to work properly.

    Do you want it repaired again or are you going with post 4?

    I did quote post 4 but they said it had to break twice and be repaired, I don't want it as it isn't a very good dryer (buy cheap buy twice!)
