[Resolved]  Bosch Home India — misleading customers with wrong features-description

Address:500094
Website:FLIPKART

On 30/08/18 i ordered the above model from flipkart, made the payment, received the order on 1st, bosch service engineer visited my site, he looked at the model number asked the distance of the water tank from tap, i told him 13 feet (Which means 0.33bar water pressure), he opened the tap noted down 4 to 6litres (This he decided by looking at the water flow) on his papers and outright said that installing the machine would be foolish as this model does not work with this pressure. He said the machine needs at least 18 to 20 feet distance, in other words he said that there should be at at least another floor above and then the water tank, i showed him the product features on the description of the machine on flipkart site, he said that 0.3 water pressure doesn't hold good for all the models of bosch and only some models work with that pressure, he left advising me to return the machine and pick up another model which actually works at 0.3 bar water pressure. Now the nightmare begins.. I called flipkart, explained everything and asked for return and refund so that i could place a suitable order, but god help me... First they wanted 4 days... Then 2 days... Then another 2 days, it has been 10 days since my purchase.. There is only hate from me towards flipkart and bosch for taking serious issues so casually.. I will update tomorrow what happened.. Since they are supposed to come up with a resolution by 10:30 am tomorrow.. I would also register my complaint with consumerhelpline.gov.in, with all the proofs

While i was researching on this subject what i have found out is the local dealers are aware that these models do not work with 0.3 BAR water pressure, there are many customers who have purchased this model, got their machine installed and are suffering immensely, i have a request to all, when you are misguided and cheated by Sellers please register a complaint with the Central governemnt provision for consumer rights.. one phone call.. and your complaint is registerd on consumerhelpline.gov.in

And if you are wondering that there are also a lot of positive reviews about the same machines..my take is the machine may be is good, it just doesnt work under certain conditions which are not highlighted in the product description page. Find out all the details by going to an actual dealer and don't depend on shopping websites for information, i have used an IFB for 22 years with the same kind of water pressure, it was never an issue, IFB has good customer support but some of their service engineers are crooks, i will save that info for another day
