Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

dear sir,
i am mrs. raji subramanian residing at adyar , making this complaint.

mr rudharamoorthy a sales person came home with a trainee and explained abt the exchange offer of Aqua guard water purifier on 22nd april 2010(thursday)
i said my old machine is perfectly ok.
he wanted to see the machine and after seeing the machine he talked abt the exchange offer.
i ordered for a Aqua guard RO (Protec+) and compelled my husband to give the cheque in spite of his opposition stating
""the machine has come to the field only six months back to market. let us wait for a few more months and book after it gets stabilised in the market ""
i answered him that i have 300% confidence in aqua guard products
as i have been using classic water purifier and vacuum cleaner since 15 years.

on 23rd april (friday)they came and installed the machine
after struggling for nearly 2 and a half hours they did not install it because it is a faulty and defective machine.
when it comes out of a factory for installation it must be checked thoroughly for 100% perfection to satisfy the customers.
my husband got very much annoyed abt this defective machine.

Now old classic is on the kitchen platform and new one is in the carton box on the kitchen floor.
i am not using neither of them.
i called mr ruthramoorthy over the phone on 24th saturday and told him "i am not at all satisfied with this new product. please take the machine back and re install my old machine and refund my money."
he said i will concult my office and talk to u.
then when i contacted him again
he said my plumber will come and re install the old one today (saturday) 24th
i have a number of phone calls
he has been repeatedly saying he is on the coming coming coming coming......
i cancelled my visit to my relatives house because of my waiting.
since saturday till today 28th april no one came home.
i am fully exhausted of making phone calls,since monday he is not picking up the phone and talking to us.


NOW I WISH YOURSELVES TO TAKE AWAY UR NEW DEFECTIVE ONE AND REPLACE MY OLD ONE IN ITS PLACE AND KINDLY REFUND THE MONEY
VERY URGENTLY as i am satisfied abt the new ones performance at the first level installation itself', i DONT want to have any new product at all.

please do the needful.
dont make us tense the two senior citizens.
my husband is very angry and upset abt the rude behaviour of the boss of mr ruthramoorthy from velacherry office.
expecting ur early action.
we have been deprived o[censored]sing our own old classic since five days
hep us at the earliest

I have purchased your water filter and vaccum cleaner in the month of May or June last year till now I have received any bill for the same. This i have purchased from your sales person namely Mr. Santosh and his mobile number is [protected]. Till I purchased he was behind me and after that when i am trying to reach him he is not at all lifting the phone. This proves the dissatisfaction of a customer how badly he was treated after purchase. In telugu there is a saying namely "Andite gaddam andakapote kallu" in similar manner they have behaved. Secondly i have a complaint for my water filter as i am not getting some sort of problem in my water filter and the same i was following up with your sales person but he was not lifting my phone. I will ensure that my colleagues does not take your product at all as I am getting such a worst service from your sales person. As per the consumer protection act every customer should be provided with a bill after the product is purchased when ever i ask them about the bill it will be received this is the only answer i used to get from them. Kindly look into my issue and my mobile number is [protected]. I am the most dissatisfied customer of your product.

Dear Sir,

I have purchase Eureka Forbes water purifier at 21 march 2010 form J. K. Electricals B 1/11 sector 18 Noida. In mannual book of Eureka Forbes water purifier is mentioned, it has capacity of filter the water near about 1800 L. but is unable to filter even 100 l of water. I made complain to customer care but they convey me the product is not successful in Delhi NCR. if product is not successful in Delhi NCR then they should mentioned at website. Eureka Forbes company is cheating with the people of India

So I request you, to kindly look into the matter and send me replacement water purifier as soon as possible

On[protected] the local dealer of Eureka Forbes installed an Aqua Guard Total water filter at my residence 303-Jawahar Nagar, Srinagar-190008 (J & K). At the time of installation they asked me to sign the installation and warranty card. The card specified the activities to be done during the warranty period of one year. These related to cleaning and checking of the filter. The card also specified that once in a year the company will replace the Candle and Carbon Block in the filter. The company engineer gave a six monthly service visit. On their own they did not come for the second visit which was due in March, 2010. I called them on April 26, 2010 and they sent their engineer. I asked him to replace the candle and carbon block as specified in the contract. However, he told me this can be done on payment only. When I drew the attention of the concerned to this anomaly, I was told that the warranty card is of an earlier make of the product and they had run out of new cards. Again the card did not specify that the replacement of these consumables once in a year is subject to payment.
This is clearly misleading for a customer. Normally, the company is bound to replace the candle and carbon block of the filter once in a year of installation without any additional charges. The issue needs to be looked into to prevent people getting cheated by a vague warranty. The company must clearly mention that the consumable parts to be replace within warranty period are on payment. This does not seem logical as the warranty then becomes meaningless. Intervention is solicited to resolve the matter.

My Eureka Forbes model water purifier Aquaguard Total Sensa purchase bill no.[protected] dated 24.05.2008. The sales person was Mr.Dinesh Kumar. The machine carries a 2 year warranty which expires on 23.05.2010. I have given them a complaint no.82693092 on 02.04.2010. They are not attending to the problem but dilly dallying the issue with false assurances at the call centres. I have made several calls to them.

I am afraid that they will let the warranty expire, which will make the service chargeable.

compeny has not send me the bill of aqua gold which i have purchased on 07/06/2009 with mr d. madhu (ph: [protected]) with final receipt no:[protected].

i have given several complain to mr madhu & in his office at barkatpura (tel no:[protected] & other no. [protected] , 30687528, 30687518, 39883333

at last i have complain to sairam (ap circle head) but no reply comes from ther also. mr sari ram tell me that iam in meating now i call u leter every time.

company service man did not provide service with out bill they are asking me for money for service wothout bill which is in warranty now.

I have installed electronic security alarm system in my house. Before going on vacation abroad, I had called and advised staff in the control centre of the company about my absence and pay special attention to any signal for alarm going off in my house. I had set the alarm on away mode. Four days ago, i.e., around 19 April I received communication from my personal staff that the alarm sounded twice on Sunday night. Since then I have been calling the control centre (Ramesh/Krishnamoorthy/Navin) from the US and till this time, i.e., 10.00 p.m. on 22 April, nobody from the company has gone to my residence to check the reason for the alarm going off and to rectify the system. I have wasted many hours or energy and money contacting the company people as well as my relatives and personal staff. The staff of Eurovigil (Eureka) have still not attended to my complaint, and my wife and I are seriously worried about something going wrong. If, unfortunately, we exprience loss of property, we shall hold the Eureka Forbes (Eurovigil) and their concerned staff responsible.

WE ARE BEING FORCED TO LODGE THIS COMPLAINT IN VIEW OF POOR QUALITY OF PRODUCT AND ABNORMAL REPAIR CHARGES BEING ASKED BY THE COMPANY INSTEAD OF FOC REPAIRS.

Subject: RE: FW: POOR PRODUCT SERVICES AND HARRASMENT
REF- AQUAGUARD WATERCOOLER CUM PURIFIER

DEAR MR.BEDI,

YOUR MR.DEEPAK VERMA FINALLY VISITED US ON 18/1/10 ALONGWITH YOUR LOCAL CONTRACTOR AND HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAD LAST VISITED US IN AUGUST- NOT AFTER OCTOBER COMPLAINT AS ALREADY POINTED OUT TO YOU.

ANYHOW AFTER CHECKING THE EQUIPMENT HE HAS ONCE AGAIN GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF RS.13120.00, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT ALMOST 12000.00 RS IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. IN THIS PERIOD THE COMPRESSOR HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED TWICE AND NOW HE WANTS TO DO IT AGAIN? IF ALL THESE PARTS ARE CHANGED, WE DOUBT IF THERE WILL BE ANY OTHER PART LEFT TO CHANGE OUT OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS?

IN OUR OPINION THE EQUIPMENT IS BREAKING DOWN REGULARLY DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR TECHNICIAN OR THE LOCAL CONTRACTOR? IT IS UNHEARD OF THAT 3 TIMES COMPRESSOR IS CHANGED IN 1.5 YEARS OR A WATERCOOLER HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS OR SO MUCH EXPENSE. WE FEEL THAT THE COMPRESSOR/HEATEXCHANGER/GAS CHARGING ARE ALL PROBLEMS OF POOR WORKMANSHIP AND THESE MAY HAVE BEEN MISHANDLED OR DAMAGED WHEN THE EQUIMENT WAS LAST SENT TO YOUR CONTRACTOR FOR REPAIRS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF COST. WE RECALL THAT FIRST THEY HAD PUT AN OVERSIZED COMPRESSOR AND THIS MAY HAVE DONE THE DAMAGE AS OTHERWISE HOW CAN A SEALED STAINLESS STEEL CONTAINER GET DAMAGED ?

Hi,

I bought Total Reviva (water purifier) last year. I was promised...4 free service will be provied every quater. But in a year, we got only 1 service and that too after repeated calling the sales exec.
Also, we were told during time of purchase, RO filters will be changed (free of cost) within a year of purchase. But now service exec. is telling they will be charging.
I lodged a complaint at customer care (request no. - [protected]), no action/update is done within 24 hrs. Still waiting..

As a customer I am so much harresed, that I have decided NOT to recommend Eureka forbes product to any one.

my number is [protected]

The LPF Filter got damaged within 3 months of purchase. The spare part is not received even after 1 month. The service people just play around refering different names of people concerned. After a few calls, they don't even lift phones. A big noise comes from the purifier and is not at all usable now. Looks like we lost Rs 17000/- on this purchase.

I had rung up 30580842 and requested for a demo of vacuum cleaner around 7.4.2010. Demo was done by some representative who delivered V.C(dry+wet ) type for around Rs 10000/-. After the delivery the same person (read Pramesh parihar-[protected]) has neither issued Invoice nor he is attending to our call for demo or otherwise. whom should I approach for redressal.please advise.

Dear Sir,

I have purchased a Water Purifier from Aquaguard-model integra in 2008, when i was posted at Bangalore. I was transfered from Bangalore to Guwahati in 2008. Right after my transfer, i have tried to contact Aquaguard people in Guwahati and get the servicing done. However, the service from Aquaguard is so pathetic and representative of Aquaguard were not even aware of this particular product. Finally, the equipment has stopped functioning since last 2 weeks. I have tried despaerately to contact Euraka Forbes, right upto the Corporate, Regional and local team, but in vain. I wonder, if after spending 25000/-, if this the kind of service, where to go and lodge my complaint.

Eureka Forbes TVM city office did not perform the regular 6 month change of my Water purifier's filter. I have this covered under my 3 year AMC with contract recepti no 50/00003782

It has been 8 months now and the water coming out from the purifier has turned brown.
I called Eureka forbes Customer Care TVM on April 14th and they have made false promises that someone would come by on April 16th and 17th. No one turned up despite mutliple follow ups on Apirl 17th.

They made an excuse claiming that their relocation to a new office caused a backlog of requests for 1 month. When I reminded them that they did not look into my AMC contract's reglar maintenance that was due for about 2 months, they had nothing to say.

What good is an AMC if Eureka Forbes does not follow the policies laid out in the contract?

i purchased aquaguard goldnova water purifier on 4 may 2009..while installing the appliances they said that they will provide two free servicing during first year..its under warranty period of 1 year..till now they haven't provided any free service check ups..i have complained to them on their customer care several times but they always promise me that they will send a field representative next day..now i am not sure whether the water i am drinking is pure or not..

I have purchased a Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Compact water purifier on 13/04/10. While making the payment on 13/04/10 I was told by the salesman that the water purifier would be deliverd and installed on 14/04/10. However I received the water purifier on 15/04/10 but no one came for installation. When I called the call center on 16/04/10 then the representative (Mr. Praful Deolekar) denied escalating my call to a supervisor. I tried calling the corporate office and was told that Ms. Hegde is the lady in charge of the consumer grievances but she wasnt available. An executive Mr. Ranjith Kumar attended my call and assured me that he will have someone with authority call me in 10 mins but I never received any call. I am irritated because while taking the money I was told that the machine would be installed next day. But once the sale was done no one was willing to attend to my problem. I would suggest anyone reading this email that PLEASE DONT BUY PRODUCTS OF EUREKA FORBES AS THEIR AFTER SALES SERVICE IS VERY BAD.

I had purchased Eureka Forbe's Vaccum Cleaner from Croma Stores,Ghatkopar West, Mumbai on 13th Sept 2009. My invoice number is 20806. After twise use at home my vaccum cleaner started giving problem.The power cord of the machine should stay out once pulled but it started malfunctioning and going inside without even pressing the button. I had to use some kind of clutch to keep it out while i work with the cleaner.

Have complained to CROMA 3 times and they have given one complaint number the first time.The number is 3048. But till date i.e.11th April 2010, even after several calls and visits, no one has ever bothered to come for the servicing of the product. I logged the complain with Mr.Ganesh & Ms. Manjit 2 times, but they have never kept their committment.

I desperately need Consumer Society's help & support to solve this issue.

with lots of hopes, looking forward to your reply & solution
