Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

Never buy a Eureka forbes Vaccum cleaner nor Eureka forbes Aqua guard water filter. There is absolutely no after sales service. We have to run from pillar to post for anyone to visit our place. The Thane city (west-Brahmand/Ghodbunder) Eureka forbes Aqua guard water filter service agent never sends the technician for service, but fills the service card stating the date and time of the Technician who had visited our house and found the door locked. But the actual fact is nobody visits our house. So never buy any Aqua Guard product or else you will have to seek service from other than company service providers.

We have taken as service contract from Eureka Forbes for two years on[protected] vide receipt No: 16669120 through their franchisee “Neha Enterprises, Ashok Vihar”, Delhi. We are literally forced to take 2 years contract citing reason that the our water purifier is of older model and the company would enter into contract for 2 years only and we had no choice but agree to this condition. Now we came to know that their franchisee no longer existing/serving for what so ever reason better known to you which we came to know only when nobody turned for regular servicing which is due annually. When we made the request to their call centre in May, 2010, their technician turned to do the service and when we asked him to change to carbon/candle; he said the settlement (exchange of records) between them and their franchisee is underway, we should wait for 2-3 weeks and make call thereafter. We waited and made another call on 18-Jun-2010 (Complaint No. 83067605 mentioning the requirement to change the candle/carbon), and then technician came the very same day and stated that he does not have the material. Again we lodge yet another complaint on reminder and nobody turned up. Then, again made yet another reminder to the call centre and also lodge another complaint at their Regional Service Centre (Complaint No. Jun/43). Today (29-Jun-2010), another technician came and said the same thing that he is not aware/informed about the replacement of Candle/Carbon.

We have submitted a written complaint on 30-Jun-2010 to Ms. Archana Vridhi (Regional Service Manager) Karol Bagh, New Delhi office and also posted a complaint on the website (http://www.eurekaforbes.com/service_request.aspx). After waiting for more than3 weeks they have not even bothered to speak to us. We are therefore bring it to the notice of people at large about the unprofessional and unethical practices and would continue to do so in whatsoever way possible from time to time unless this issue is resolved. We are contemplating taking a legal recourse and seeking advice from various consumer forums.

Eureka forbes technician came to our house for Aquaguard servicing. He identified that aquaguard PCB circuit is faulty and said to us that this needs replacement. He took the circuit with him and promised us that it will be replaced in 2 days. It almost more than 20 days now, nothing has been done by the eureka Forbes. Each day we call up, they say that technician will come today and replace the Aquaguard. We had a talk with Service Department Manager, Yogesh Vichare and he says the same thing too, but no results. Giving the wrong Assurance that today the Aquaguard will be replaced and then nobody turns up is not at all acceptable. Kindly request you to take appropriate action against such company.

Thanks and Regards,
Rahul.

Dear Concerned

I have purchased one Water Purifier (Aquaguard) on 29.05.2010 amounting Rs 9090/- from direct sales associates of Eureka Forbes Limited. From the day of purchase i have been following up with the company for the purchase invoice but regret to say that nobody is bothered from the company.

Needless to mention that under the absence of the purchase invoice my warranty on the said unit will not be valid. The worst part of all is that the executives who were calling me regularly on my cell for the sale of their product are now not bothered to provide me the invoice even after the purchase amount have been cleared from my side from the date of purchase.

The details of the person whom i am following up are as follows

Name: Mr Raghuveer Singh
Address: Eureka Forbes Limited
SR 5 to 11, Guman-II, A Block, Vaishali Nagar, jaipur
Cell No:[protected]

I am regularly calling the above said person but he is not receiving my calls and also not responding. I request you to kindly take up my matter with the company and arrange to release my invoice at the earliest

Thanking You

We have RO, Total make from Eureka Forbes (EF) installed at our residence in Motera area of Ahmedabad. It was installed exactly two years back. Now the warranty offered is over. Two days back, one agent gentleman from EF suggested for AMC for the RO. AMC for two years carries fee of Rs 6500 after discount of Rs 800. In AMC, all the filters and membrane are replaced once in a year in addition to other warranty. Irrespective of whether the existing filters and membrane are required to be replaced, AMC offers to replace these filters and charges large maintenance fee. Should not the company devise a means to check the status of the existing filters and membrane before replacing them and offer some concession in the AMC fee to the customer in case these are OK?

Company name: Eureka Forbes
Product : Aqua guard (Total RO protect)
Place of purchase: Burkit Road, T Nagar.
Price of the Product: Rs 13900/-
Sales Manager: Senthil Kumar (Useless person for that post)

Purchased a Auaguard on 3-Jun-2010 from the above given branch Eureka Forbes. They promised to come on tuesday that was 6-Jun-2010 as they will deliver the product and the installation will be done immediately.
But today 13-Jun-2010 till now no one has come to install it. After many calls for the whole week they delivered the product on thursday evening. but till now calling up them for the installation, but no one turned up.

DOnt understand what kind of people they are and what they work for. Till they receive money they are pleasing us like hell but after receiving money does not care how the customer is.

So i would like to launch a complaint on the sales person Senthil Kumar and if possible should be removed from that posistion. He is good for nothing in that posistion. Company has selected a wrong person. This may lead to bad name for the comapany for the future. Till now that guy senthil kumar has not lifted the phone after the purchase of the product.

So i would like to get back my money and return the worst product of their's to them.

We have an Annual Maintenance Contract with the Eureka Forbes company under customer id [protected], contract receipt No. 16616081, valied from 26/06/09 to 25/06/2012.
Inspite of their promise for maintenance every half yearly, , the service is not taken up periodically,. The telephone number given on the AMC contract sheet is not responding to our ennumerable trials. This is causing immense inconvenience to us.

I have a Eureka Forbes Aqua guard water purifier model NOVA for which I have done an AMC for the period[protected] to[protected] bearing the Contract receipt no. 17328932. The second service was supposed to be provided on[protected] for which I have been making constant follow-up with your concerned franchisees. Inspite of this I have not got my due service. Moreover I had requested for a tray and was assured that I will receive it by[protected] by Mr. Sandy of Eureka Forbes but I haven’t received it till date. On[protected] I called up Panjim office and Mr. Keshav assured me that he will solve my problem but nothing was done from his end. After numerous follow-ups I was attended by a technician Mr. Farooq from your Margao franchisee. He seemed oblivious of the fact that I had my AMC done and the torturous follow-up that I had to go through for the past so many months and he asked me an irritating question as to what he was supposed to do. Instead of apologizing on behalf of Eureka Forbes he very rudely refused to provide service and even asked me to complain against him. This rude and annoying behavior from him does not comply with the slogan “We go miles for your smiles”. I would not like to continue any service from you if attended by this person again. Kindly make a note of this and take appropriate action against him.

Dear sir
In the last 5 years , I have used your products and I have been highly satisfied with the
Eureka Forbes product however, I recently purchased a new water purifier system Total RO and product was ok but I have been dissatisfied the services from service centre unfortunately, service centre are not performing well they are spoiling the image of company on 5th July that RO system was not working properly . then I lodged a request to customer care I got complaint no 83149460. next day mr basant from service centre came here and he noticed that there was a faulty adapter. He said adapter is not available in service centre . I spoke to ms neelam from service centre she gave me assurance that machine part will available on 08th july on 9th july I received a call from service centre that part will be available on 13the july . I was very disappointed because 8 days is very long time ,Since your company claims to be the leader in customer satisfaction with a no hassle
I would like to request that please find out where is the problem supply is not reaching in time or the service from the service centre was inadequate
I look forward to your reply and resolution to my problem


Thank u

D/SIR
I HAVE FACED A PROBLEM WITH MY AQUAGUARD TOTRAL SENSA WTER PURIFIER. I TOOK MY PURIFIER TO A AUTHORISED DIVISIONAL SALES OFFICE S- 20/56 D KENNEDY RD THE MALL VARANASI FROM WHERE I PURCHASED WITH BAR CODE RECEIPT NO.[protected].I FEEL SO SORRY TO INFORM YOU THAT I AM IN TROUBLE WITH PURIFIER .THE COMPLAIN LODGED IN VARANASI CENTRE(NO.534 DATED 28.06.10)WAS TRANSFERED TO GOAKHPUR SERVICE CENTRE (COMP.NO.-08).THE SERVICE ER.MR.ANIL MISHRA TOOK ONE DAY(01.07.10)TO FOUND THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID HE WILL CALL ME NEXT DAY BUT HE DID NOT CALLED ME.I HAD CALLED HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN THEN HE SAID THAT IT TAKE MORE TIME AND IN THIS REGARDE YOU CAN TALK WITH MR.DHARMENDRA SINGH HEAD SR. ER. I CONTACT WITH MR.ASHUTOSH MISHRA BR.MANAGER,MR.VIJAY SHARMA,GROUP LEADER,MR.Y.R.PANDEY HD.CRS AND MR.ROHIT JAISWAL SR.S.EXEC.IT IS VERY BAD TO SAY THAT A COMPANY LIKE EUREKA FORBS CANT FIX A SMALL TROUBLE IN SHORT TIME.

I have purchased a water purifier storage UV type cash payment in month of december. the machine was intalled by the sales man. in a faulty way inspite of repetetive concern shown by us he assured us that, the machine was firmly installed and convinced us that it would not get damage. when we asked for bill he promised that bill would be send home by the company Eureka forbes keeping trust in the name of such big company we agreed. now after five months also we are not getting bill even after repeatative attemps. unfortunately due to faulty installation the storage tank fell and broke. now that area manager and his team neither come nor send anybody to fix the machine even after complaining and visiting the office several times we are facing tremendous problems as presently it is mansoon and normal tap water is not so safe for drinking we have also send many request on the company website still we are not getting any positive reponse.

I have purchased two Aquaguard Total RO PROTEC+ machine on 30-4-10 through one of your representative Mr.G.Vinoth Kumar[protected] for which still he has not given the invoice. One machine was installed at my mothers residence and one at mine. Whne you technical person came to install the machine at my house he told me that "this is a defective piece and been rejected by the company how did they supply this to you?"
I immediately called Mr.G.Vinoth Kumar and told him to replace the machine with a fresh piece, which I received after repeated reminders over phone after nearly 20days.
After installation of the new machine it was working well for the first four days, then the water stopped flowing into the tank , only the outlet water was flowing continously. I registered a complaint vide no.83009443 dt:8.6.10 following which your person came for verification only after 5 days , that to after repeated reminders. He came, rectified and again after a few days the same problem was noted. once again I registered a complaint vide no: 58479993 dt:21.06.10 and so far nobody has dared to attend the complaint even after repeated reminders. I called Mr.G.Vinoth Kumar several time over phone , to look into the matter, but everytime he used to say " i will attend the complaint as soon as the technical person comes" but so far neither Mr.G.Vinoth Kumar nor his technical person bothered to come and look into the matter.
It is clear with this that Eureka Forbes has directed their representatives to lure the customers to sell as many machines as possible without caring for the after sales service to the customer.
If my complaint has not been attended and the faulty purifier not replaced with a new piece , I fear , I will have no other option to lodge a complaint with the consumer court on basis of cheating the customer.
Hope you will not disappoint me.

Sir,
I had purchased Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Total Reviva during Sept-09. Since its installation, I am facing much problem as the water flow becomes very slow. the water is not purified and softened. I had lodged complaints very often. Some persons come and attend. but there is no fruitful result. During the last ten months I have got good water for only 100 to 120days. Earlier I had lodged a complaint regarding service of my product, which was rectified after a month. Now the water flow is very slow and it may stop at any time. Kindly make some permanent arrangement. I am very much fade up to lodge complaints very often.Kindly do the needful at the earliest

Customer care Eureka Forbes
My Customer Code. [protected] Amc from 30/11/2009 to 29/11/2010 covered. We are complaining at your Amritsar office for aqua guard is not purifying the water.
Your sales representative came on dated 3/7/2010 (Vikram Kumar verma Cell. No.[protected],[protected]. He checked and showed water TDS is 500 after purify and same before purify. He told us aqua guard is not working; its only show piece you are drinking contaminated water, purchase our new system.
Your office instead of sending the technician to repair the product, they are sending sales representative for selling new system. Our humble request to you please sends the skilled technician for repair the aqua guard not sales representative.
Again humble request to the aqua guard appellant authorities. It’s not a matter of corporate sector companies’ sales. It’s a matter of public health. Please don’t make it so commercialise on the stake of people health. Please help us.
Thanks a lot and highly appreciate your prompt action.

I have purchased a RO Elegant water purifier in Jan.'09.Since then this M/C is not able to run continuously for even a fortnight and giving troubles for the problems of either adopter,TDS Candle or moptor burning etc. as a result my above referred m/c got futile.
It is therefore requested for proper repairing/maintainance or the replacement of new set.Complaint for non-functioning has given several times to the supplier M/S Manna Electronics,Ghatsila,Service Centre at Jamshedpur to Mr.Sudipto Das,Sales/Marketing & Service Representative Mr. Ajay Singh at JSR and Mr.Sanjay Singh at Ranchi and the Area Manager Shri Pandey at Ranchi but still the referred m/c has non-attended for its rectification.
As I am facing regular trouble and tremendous difficulty for the services,attention may pl.be drawn seriously for proper cure of either this machine or suitable replacement with new set.Your early and prompt action will surely be helpful to me.

We had canceled our order (19th Feb 2010) for Reviva Ro because of delay in the commitment provided at the time of booking and registered the same to customer care department also we had informed the agent on his mobile who was taking care of the order, after 20 days he claimed the we had received the product and not returning to company. Which is not true. When we had canceled the order around 20 days back how can we receive the machine.


Attaching the copy of emails for reference.

Dear Mr. Sachin Malvankar
(Br. Manager)
For Eureka Forbes Ltd,
A-48, Virwani Industrial Estate
Off Western Express Highway
Goregoan (E) Mumbai
Tel: 67611800/01/02.





Kindly note we had requested Mr. Umesh Pal to cancel our booking/order on 17th of Feb`2010, as he failed to full fill his commitment given at time of booking (Installation by 16th Feb) maximum.

He had conveyed that he will try to do cancellation, after wards they was no communication between us. (Company/Party)

We had tried his mobile no. repeatedly to confirm that whether he had canceled our booking/order or not, but there was no response from his or Eureka side.

Then we had booked the complaint in customer care (Call Center Complaint No.[protected] for your kind reference. Same time we had registered the complaint on your website.

After a week (23rd Feb` 2010) he had called up stating the machine will get delivered by 1st week of March.

We were surprised to know the status from him as we had already done the cancellation, we had conveyed the same to Mr. Umesh and the procedure what we had followed for cancellation. (Website,call center and cheque stop payment)

Then again there was no contact from Mr. Umesh nor from the company. Around 1st week of March we got call from Mr. Umesh that your machine is ready for delivery, again we had asked him not to deliver the machine as we had already done the cancellation of order as well as we had stopped the cheque. Then again there was no response.

Suddenly one day he called us and ask for the fitting for the machine, then again the same exercise repeated we said no and ask him not call us in future.

Then surprisingly one day he visited our house with some other guy with him (No identity card was there), stating if you had canceled the order then please return my machine.

We were in shock/surprised which machine he is asking for, as we had not received any machine from the company, then after an argument we had requested him to leave.

Again next morning he came with some other guy with same concern, then keeping his concern in mind we had attend him and asked to check the copy of receiving where machine was delivered. Then he replied there is no receiving and any of such evidence related document for the delivery receipt.

That time we realized his actual intention that he is making a fool o[censored]s and trying to put blame on us.


Same day we had contacted the no. provided on the website to get in touch with some senior person to handle this matter/situation as Mr. Umesh has started practice of calling and coming to our residence again and again for same thing which had not happened.

We had tried the number provided on the website and we had a word with some female (Ms. Anu not remember the exact name), we had told the whole matter to her, then she had helped us with no. of Mr. Manoj, that he is the right person to talk to in this regard, from that day Mr. Manoj is taking care of the issue personally and he is well aware of the whole story.


After his last email there was no contact from any person related from Eureka in this regard. We are really thankful to him.


We are associated with Eureka from many years and still have respect for the company, but these kind of people spoil the reputation of company as well as the trust which a consumer has in name/brand. We had never ever imagined that placing an order in Eureka will lead to so much harassment and problems.


Request you to understand and discuss the whole matter with Mr. Manoj (Head Service Mumbai).




Pls confirm your understanding on same and confirm receipt on email.


Thanks & Regards,

S.Mittal

Dear Mr. Manoj,


As you are aware of all story, my only hope is you and Company Responsible Management.


Am still getting unnecessary calls from your sales department, despite repeated request many times earlier not to harass me and my family by calling and using harsh language.


As you aware i was fed up with all this non sense and supposed to register my complaint to Police Department also in this regard. But you had ensured me that the problem will get resolved with a prior note, as you will look into this matter personally. Only that is the reason i had not gone through any other process.


But still there is no conclusion to the problem, which is ridiculous and totally unacceptable.


Request you to ask someone who is concern about customer respect and security, to take care of this issue on a serious note and resolve the same on top priority.


DID I MAKE A MISTAKE BY GIVING PURCHASE REQUEST TO EUREKA FORBES FOR A WATER PURIFIER?????




Thanks, Sumit Mittal

The water purifier is not working completely. It is down from past 6 days. I have been placing the complaint from past 5 days and today I have placed a complaint thrice and have no received no committed response. The Eureka Forbes people are not responsive and are not committed.Drinking water in my area is not upto the standards so, I necessarily need water purifier. Since, the water purifier is not working I had to buy drinking and have spent 1200 on the water since last week. This is not an accepted way of treating customers by Eureka Forbes and would recommend all to keep this in mind and take a decision while buying a water purifier from Eureka Forbes.

After four days of purchasing a water purifier from Metro Junction (Big bazar) purifier is yet not installed & yet no one comes for the demostration , After repeted complainting abt the same the big bazar service employee & even Eureka forbes customer care didnt give any proper answer ... may times not receiving phones . My wife is not well & doctor sujjest us to use purified water for drinking purpose.we are just upset due to the service factor.
