W5 error - 3rd time

Sross20029

I had a nest thermostat installed in March 22. It lasted two months and then I started getting the network w5 error in May so I sent back and got a replacment.

The replacment managed to outlive the last one by a month and breaks in August, so once again I send back and get a replacment.

As of this evening my third unit is now displaying the W5 error.

Seriously Google why are your products so crap. Do you check the replacment units before sending them. If I go through the hassle of sending back and getting another unit, Ill be onto my 4th one in the space of 8 months. Is there anything else you can do or do I just need to keep exchanging units every two months. Id probably prefer to just have my money back and try using Hive instead.

Thanks

Sean

Jake, Ive filled out the above form so hopefully now you can help.

Apologies for my delayed response. I've not given this a huge mount of my time given you're just going to send me another unit that will break in two months. I'm getting in contact now as the thermostat doesnt even seem to be connecting to my boiler now so my house is freezing. At least if you send me another unit it should work for a couple of months.
