Millets Eurohike Cairns 2 DLX Night fall blackout two man tent review year later

Welcome to the AW Services RUclips channel
I'm back, one year later, with a more detailed look at the Millets Eurohike Cairns 2 DLX night fall back out technology tent that I purchased last year, and this is its second outing on a campsite
when I purchased this tent, I was tempted by the wording blackout, but not long erecting the tent on a hot and sunny August Bank holiday. I quickly learnt how the blackout technology failed to block daylight / sunlight from entering the tent
so here it is... a look inside when the doors are zipped up
It's not that impressive or dark inside
Below is a link to the previous videos featuring this tent

I bought the 3 man version of this tent for going to Leeds festival in August. Bit gutted that the nightfall selling point is a bit of a gimmick. Do you think it is worth returning the tent over this? I only bought it on saturday so am still within the return period. Ive heard of some people having issues with the zippers not being waterproof, have you had any issues with water getting in? Thanks for the video

I'll be transparent and totally honest with you. shortly after unpacking and erecting this tent for the first time on the August Bank holiday last year (ref this video posted below). I sat inside my new tent and zipped up the doors to instant disappointment of bright sunshine entering the tent. I instantly and politely called Millets customer service and informed them of the issue, and to my surprise, the gentleman sincerely apologised and offered me several options, one of which was an instant part refund directly to my bank. Reasoning for my choice was that I liked the overall tent design reference, the sleeping position, and the lack of overhead air vent, ( i didn't fully believe in a total blackout tent to start with ) and he advised myself that I could still receive the part refunded as a good will gesture and keep the tent if I was happy to do so or return it to the shop and get a total refund or alternative replacement. Reference the zip... when I woke up this Sunday morning gone. it was raining heavily. Yes, my porch was wet. The lower front piece of material, which, for this explanation, I'll call the threshold under the front door sags down which in turn makes the bottom of the zip track lower and the rain water pooled in the sag and entered the porch because there is no rigidity the hold up this piece and and my two front pegs loops were tight and correctly positioned.
Under the trade description act, your tent is defective, not fit for purpose or falsely/ inaccurately advertised, so you are entitled to a full refund or replacement item / alternative item that matches its purchase price
