Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

i bought aquasure storage water purifier on 15.01.2009 from Big Bazar, Palakkad.
(sr. no. J 220961). it's purification catridge which should be replaced after 1800 litre, is neither available in the market (not even at Big Bazar) nor home delivered. When called at eureka forbes service centre at palakkad([protected]), they responded indifferently.

I would seriously like to lodge a complaint against Eureka Forbes.
I have been using their filter for a while now.
Recently there was some problem with the water so I asked them to come over and do service since we had given them AMC.The person came and said after doing something with filter for a few minsthat its nothing we can do as water is coming like this from behind only.
We said thats ok but atleast you do servicing by opening the candle and everything.After all it was his duty but he denied and said its of no use etc.
The following day we again asked them to send someone but they didnt even though they said they will.
I called up Eureka Forbes customer care and tried lodging a complaint and requested them to send a senior executive to check the same from their office but they refused it straight away.
My complaint is that these eureka forbes people give franchise services to people in areas like subzi mandi and all and then dont keep a check at all whether their customer is satisfied on not.
When I am requesting them to send an executive from their company directly as I am not satisfied wiuth their franchise service then its their duty to send someone.
They refused and were very very rude.There was some Mr. Joginder Pal Singh I talked to.
It is mere customer harrasment and I wish to be compensated in kind or cash for the same soon.
Thanking You

I bought a Aqua Sure crystal from Nagpur. I live in Gadchiroli and i was assured of prompt installation within 1 day. It has been 18 days and the unit is still not installed. When i called to follow up i was told that since it is far away from Nagpur (150km) it would take 2 days. After 2 days i called for follow up then i was told that the technician is not available ! When i started arguing then i was told that the technician will come on "sunday evening" and the technician never showed up. I called to follow up again and i was told to call again after the technician shows up !! (as if it is my responsibility to call them every time for their mess up). I told that the customer center should call me when (if at all) the technician shows up. Then i was told that i would be called and again nobody calls up. I called for a follow up again and i was told that the supervisor is not available.....lies...damn lies ......and even more lies. I thought Eureka Forbes will have a good customer service ....but seems there is none.
Would recommend thinking twice before buying a product where installation by company is guaranteed but never done !!

My name is GHANSHYAM BAGRA from Bhilwara in Rajasthan.
I own Eureka Forbes RO.
I signed AMC with eureka forbes in the month of march-2010.
During AMC contract signing I was promised regular visits by their service executive,
But till date no body turned up and their local dealer at Bhilwara "Kapoor Services" is not paying any heed to my calls.
I am utterly frustated and going to consumer court for redressal.
I wish somone from Eureka Forbes take suitable action against their local service provider.

My contact number is [protected].

Hi

We have been using the Aqua guard Water Purifier since Aug 2010. The model is compact. At the time of the purchase they have been told us and it is also mentioned in written of service booklet that the 1st free servicing will be provided within three months however my purifier stopped working itself within three months. I raised several complaints with there local service engineers however there is no responses. Executive at the call center also speaks very rude and they often disconnects the call while kept on hold.

Kindly look into this matter

I bought water purifier from Eureka Forbes 3 months back and the water taste is not good, after raising complaint (Complaint no.[protected] with Eureka Forbes on 3rd Jan 2011, since then the issue has not been addressed and I ve made 12-15 calls within this period and some of the calls have not been recorded in their customer ticketing system and the issue has not been addressed till now. I wish to take action against the company for providing defective product and no service on request, which is against the contract negotiated while purchasing the product.

Complaint History : I have puchased a Xeon Vacuum cleaner ( Eureka Forbes ) from Reliance Plaza , Crown Interior Mall , Faridabad in the month of September ' 2010 . On 4th day from date of purchase , it failed during use . I registered a complaint with Eureka Forbes call centre which assured me with a 48 hours resolution time & surprisingly was not responded during next 15 days . This cycle of call registration & ' no response ' continued till it was finally attended on 21st ' Feb ' 2011 .
Engineer diagnosed & stated as ' Two parts have failed & will be replaced under warranty -- TAT next 7 working days . For your ref : one complain no. I am mentioning[protected] dated 11/01/11
My frustration : A company like Eureka Forbes which used to set benchmarks in customer service delivery --- How it can degrade to this level ????

Complaint : When my product will be finally repaired ??????

Hi,

I ordered a "Eureka Forbes Easy Clean" vaccum cleaner from my I-Mint card points in June 2010. I got the delivery for the same on 8th July 2010. When I tried to start the vaccum cleaner for the first time on the same day of delivery the motor started making wierd noises and burnt. I called the helpline and they ensured that I will get a replacement for my product and they gave me some local telephone number for exchange of the product. To my dismay, nobody picked the call. Ever since then I am trying to contact Eureka Forbes people and I am getting the same response. Everytime they give me a new number and either no one picks the call or the number is invalid or they disagree to change the product. In between, twice engineers from Eureka forbes have visited my place to check that machine and they also have suggested the same thing that you will get a relacement for your product. But I am not sure where will I get the replacement for my product. Its been 8 months that I am following Eureka forbes for the same. NEED HELP FOR THE SAME.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Dear Sir,

I have purchased one Eureka Forbes Euroclean Wet & Dry vacuum cleaner on 24th december 2010 from your agent named Syed Ali (mobile no: [protected]) & Raju (mobile no: [protected]). My receipt number is[protected].

However still now I haven't received the original invoice yet. Every time I dialed the above mentioned representatives, they say Eureka Forbes is running out of paper to print the invoice. Which sounds very poor excuse.

Also in the Eureka Forbes helpline, I have lodged a complain almost a month back. the reference number for the complain is: 84268946. But still now even after dialing multiple times I have obtained no result. Every time I hear that they will post within 2 days but they don't really do anything.

This is very frustrating and also illegal not to issue the invoice to the purchaser.

Please resolve this issue at the earliest.

Best regards,

Kaustuvmani Manji

I purchased a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, after a repeated request from the salesman in April 2010. There is fault in the design and the suction head gasket falls off. I called the Coimbatore sales office for service. They do not answer the calls easily, Finally I got them on line and I was told there is no spares available. I have been following up for the past one month and I get the same answer. Cannot believe that it takes one month to get the part from anywhere in India !!. Very poor service and attitude. While selling , the salesman was literally begging us to buy !!. Eureka Forbes, why do you sell products that you cannot support and fool the public. I have stared to tell people that they should never buy this product !!

We have purchased a water purifier from Aquagaurd on 18.12.2009.for Rs.13,000.00.It was called for service several times in the warranty period of one year.The machine again became problematic in Jan 2011 13th month of purchase ie one month after warranty was over.The company people visited and gave an estimate of Rs.10,000. I lodged complaint to the Aqugaurd Head office and recd. a call by stating that the estimate will be Rs. 7000.00. Can anybody believe that a product of Rs. 13,000.00 will be repaired by paying Rs.7000.00 just one month after the warranty is over. We can take it in other way that the product is designed in such a manner that it will produce 60% of its cost towards the company .Is this a trick played by a reputed company like Aquagaurd ?

I had purchased on Eureka Forbes Aquaguard RO+UV from Girias Anna Nagar Chennai, from day it is not working and from Aquaguard nor Girias no body is ready to listen anything, according to Aquaguard service team they don't know how to repair this system

I think this is a froud company making some "Dubbas" the name of water purifier, I am really worried about the people who using Aquaguard for purifying the water.

I don't know writing here get any solution for me, but I don't other people get cheated from these beggers

I purchased an aquaguard reviva in 2010. The product is okay. But the service system is bad. I got a call from a person saying that she is from eureka forbes, she Knew that my product is due for servicing. Later I realised that she is a fraud. A person claiming to be a eureka forbes technician came and changed the filter and charged me rs 800 and gave me a bill with AQUA GREAT ENTERPRISES. When asked about the bill he told me eureka forbes has outsourced it to their company. Luckily I did not fall for the AMC trap. Then I called Eureka Forbes and found out that the person was a fraud. Unfortunately the company instead of being supportive is blaming us.It is true that I am responsible for this. But the company instead of taking action against the scamsters is being supportive to them. Without inside information my address, phone number could not have been given to this fraud company. Dear customers beware, especilly in delhi.
The Fraud agency is

Respected Sir,

My name is Rashmi Ranjan and I am a 29yrs old male residing with my wife and 2 younger brothers in Janakpuri,New Delhi.My Residential address is C4F/47,2nd Floor,Janakpuri,New Delhi-110058.

Due to the pain and suffering ,I would like to lodge a complain against the Eureka Forbes for it's high negligence in providing proper customer care and satisfaction despite repeated follow ups.
I have got 18 litres Double Storage Capacity(XTRA)-Aquasure water purifier from Better Deals Electronics Pvt.Ltd.B-3,B-1 Block Community Centre,Janakpuri,New Delhi-58 5months back.This water purifer needs to get it's particulate filter and sediment filter changed after 3months approximately.Due to company tours and other assignments I got delayed in getting it timely maintained.When I visited the store on 21st january,2011 for the parts the sales guys handed me brochures with the number of the customer care of Eureka Forbes to lodge the complain so that they can come to my residence and change it within 24hrs.I called on the customer care number 39883333 on 2nd rece1st jan,2011 and gave the entire details to them and received the Complain Number :[protected] from them with this reassurance that service will be provided within 24hrs of the complain.On 4th day i.e 25th jan,2011 I called the cutomer care again to follow up on the delay in providing promised service .On the same day some executive called me and said that since he is far away from Janakpuri he cannot come to me on 25th jan but will come on 26th jan at 1.00p.m sharp which took me by surprise.No one turned on 26th jan and on 27th again i called in customer care followed by the shop Best Deals regarding the delay in the service requested.they finally transferred me to the person who called me on 25th evening who promised me to come 27th evening itself.The agent came on 27th evening as promised this time but with the parts not appropiate for my appliances .It was really frustating.he said he will come the next day with the appropiate parts for the water purifer.On 28th there was no one who turned up to take care of the replacement request.Again i called in the shop Best Deals and they transferred my call to the same guy who visited on 27th evening who said samelessly that he doesn't have the required parts with them and so will take 3-4 days more which I am sure will still remain unheard.

Sir,In the meantime I have brought around Rs.2000/- worth of purified water bottle from the shops to keep the health and hygenie of the 4 people in the family including me.

Sir,I can't sustain any further as the water expenses are really high and the company has deaf ears to our problem.

Our last hope lies with you for getting proper justice from your end so that we as customer don't get duped time and again by these corporate companies.

With Thanks & Regards,

Dear Sir,

1. I have purchased one No. Eureka Forbes Water Purifier (NANO R0) from Vivek Limited, Royapetah High Road, Mylapore, Chennai 600004, vide their Bill No.[protected] dt. 8th Jan 2011.

2. The same was installed at my residence on 13.01.2011.

3. Very same day, we noticed the water was leaking from one of the three tubes in the side of the unit and also from the Tap.

4. After waiting for a day, we informed the service Ph: 39883333 and after repeated calls by me, finally the technician Mr. Lakshnmanan came only on 24.1.11 i.e. after about 10 days.

5. Your Mr. Lakshmanan also confirmed three things. a) one of the pins in the motor was not connected at all. b) Another pin was wrongly connected to the motor. c) Due to the above reason, the motor was not functioning eversince the same was installed ( i.e. on 13.1.11 onwards)

6. When the motor was not functioning at all, only the tap water was directly coming out of the unit without any purification in between.

7. Due to the above reason, all my family memebrs had to use the non-purified water and finally everone in my family fell sick like cold, cough, throat infection etc.

8. What is more disappointing is, while your technician Mr. Lakshmanan was very much in my house informing me about the non funcitioning of the motor due to the reasons stated in point No.5 above, and when contacted your In-charge for the Tamil Nadu Operation Mr. Saravanan over phone after getting the phone number from Mr. Lakshmanan, Mr. Saravanan spoke to me in such an irresponsible manner, without even listening to the grievances of the customer. He just refused to listen to me and he is not at all interested in understanding the factual position; rather he was giving some funny explanations like the TAP will be leaking in case of any power fluctions. He should definitly u/stand that all the customers who purchase Eureka products are NOT fools to listen to what he says.

Finally he flatly refused to talk to me.

9. After the leakage is rectified by Mr. Lakshnaman on 24.1.11, to our surprise we again noticed on 25.1.11 morning the water is fully leaking from the unit throughout the night and kitchen and hall was full of water.

In view of the above, we are very much sure that you have supplied a DEFECTIVE WATER PURIFIER, knowingly or unknowingly and due to the reason only Mr. Saravanan also did not take any interest in listening to my grievances.

You are therefore hereby requested to replace the said defective unit installed at my residence with a new perfectly working unit, without any delay. In case you do not have any working condition unit, you may kindly return the money back to me immeditely.

A line of reply is very much appreciated.

I am very upset to write this mail that I was a patron user of Eureka forbes RO system from last 4 years. On 21st Jan’11 I raised an request for demo of Ro System named Aquaguard Total Protec+ on Eureka forbes website. In turn I received an auto SMS from mob number [protected] that “Thanks for your intrest in Aquagard. Your nearest sales specialist Mobile Number is [protected] – EFL Team”. Based on which I gave a call to him on the said number which was picked by Mr. Arun in turn he told me since I am out you take the mob number [protected] of Mr. Ritesh & he will install the same.

I contacted to Mr. Ritesh & he told that he is from Eureka Forbes & tried to convinced us for Springfresh model & not for Aquaguard Total Protec+ & installed the same on 21st Jan’11 evening by taking 1000/- cash & cheque of 11990/-. He didn’t provided any documents like warranty card bill etc & told that you will receive directly by Company through courier.

The system installed was leaking of which we complained him but he didn’t showed any intrest inspite of reminder calls. On 22nd Jan’11 near about 12.00 pmfrom company by Mr. yusuf asking about the querry of RO system which I have raised on net on 21st jan’11. I explained him how I got the RO installed yesterday itself through Arun & Ritesh, then Mr Yusuf told me that Mr Arun has left the company 2 months back & Mr. Ritesh is a fraud & there are many cases lagged against him by company, and you stop the payment & return the machine. The same was obeyed by me after meeting Mr. Sanjeev Jain who looks after sales Rajasthan circle at your office at Vaishali Nagar. And we got the Aquaguard Total Protec+ intalled by your company person & told Mr. Ritesh to take his RO Back & return us our given cheque & Rs1000/- cash back.


Two points are there in whole story as I felt cheated by Eureka forbes:

1) If Mr. Arun have left the job then why his number was sent to me through auto SMS by your number. No information was given by Mr Arun that he left the Job.

2) Now Mr. Ritesh is threatening us for the same & saying that given 4000/- then only I will take back the machine.

3) I mailed at eureka forbes registered mail ID for customer care: '[protected]@eurekaforbes.com'; '[protected]@eureka-forbes.com' &also to their senior sales person 'sanjeev.[protected]@eurekaforbes.com' with reminder mails but neither I received any acknowledgement of mail nor any reply..


Being such a professional company I trusted the same but I found something else.
Kindly look into the matter
