I think that there is a lot of mischief!! and the company is deliberately misleading people with aggressive sales tactics. I bought an Aquasure one of the most expensive models there is (more than rs.20, 000/-) falling for its UV, IO and other features 2 years ago.
Ever since- at least 4000 to 5000 rupees worth of parts need to be replaced- if one year its the candles, the other year it is the motor plus candles. We are a small family and consume about 10 litres of water per day.
We have other electronic and electric appliances that often run 24/7 that work hassle-free for years! At-times decades!! be it a microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, television, blender, rice cooker etc...clearly the usage of about 10 litres/day of water in no way compares to the round the clock availability of the other more complex heavy duty items. While the pricing is on par (or much more if compared to many items with more complex functions - eg: blender, television, computer),
the functionality is ridden with mischievous money-making gimmicks (every year at least 4000 to 5000 rupees worth of parts need to be replaced- if one year its the candles, the other year it is the motor plus candles.
Very very unhappy at these below the belt and underhand tactics of what one would think of as an engineering company manufacturing essential electronics. Basically few thousand rupees worth of plastic is palmed off with a filtration technology insert worth barely one year!! Look at it this way, A 25 litre can costs about Rs.40/- If we purchase 10 cans per month; we'd be spending Rs.5000/- per year as well!! So, why do we have to invest greater than Rs.25, 000/- at the outset and still spend?? It is not making any sense at any level.
This company has made a mockery of engineering as well ethical business. IMO, for other consumer products- in case of genuine engineering failures replacement happens. Whereas Eureka Forbes seems to be designing to make the equipment to fail in order to keep soft stealing from people by making them actually buy a thing to get stolen annually. UNBELIEVABLE AND SICK SICK WAY OF DOING BUSINESS(especially if you think they are dealing with something as essential as water in order to do this. I am aware I am a trapped helpless urban consumer caring for kids health with few other options. Still, V upset at this cunningness!
