I think it's a toughy. I have gigged Roland Cubes ( a 60 and now an 80XL) for some time and have never had the slightest issue with them. I've found them dependable and with plenty of volume to get over an enthusiastic drummer un-miced. I always run them on the clean (JC) channel with pedals into them including loads of dirt and fuzz pedals. They have an extension speaker socket for more "oomph" and a line out for running straight into the PA for extra decibels if you need them. I've never needed to.
They seem to have a pretty solid reputation on a number of forums so whilst I am sorry to hear that you have had issues with yours, I think that going down the route of "unfit for purpose" is probably stretching it. You may stand a better chance of a refund/ credit with the retailer by explaining it's unfit for your purpose.

No guarantee it'll work, of course. And you might have to push. Which is why I'd get some advice from e.g. CAB to see if you have a leg to stand on before pushing really hard. )
And like a lot of these things, for the amount of bother etc. you'd have to go through, like Adam_MD said, it's debatable if it's worth it. And it might not work anyway (you could be out that bother and expense and find that the store is in the right anyway).
