Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I had bought the Aquaguard total RO in June 2009, from that day this product is giving lot of problems. Some time Waste water will continuosly overflows, some times machine itself will not work. I am fully tired of calling your executives for repair. They will simply say that they will come and correct it. After giving complaint like this, one time they came to my home and repaired, then also now its not working. Now your executives itself are telling that, this machine itself is not good and they want to replace it, for that they need complaint and there higher people permission. So please consider this complaint/request and do the needfull.

Please find below my details:

Customer ID [protected]
The Music system is not operating when water is drawn from the Filter.
Complaints were given to call centre & the following nos are given by them.
Service request no[protected] dt 7/09/2009,
,, [protected] dt 16/09/2009
,, [protected] dt 7/10/2009
Each time the service Technician will visit the house & tell that spare part not available. Assure to repair once the spare part arrives. So far no response.
Again complaint was given vide Service request [protected] dt 4/12/2009.
The technician talks through the phone & tells music system PCB has to be
replaced & the cost will be around Rs 700/-. NO further visit to look at the
AG NOVA.
The service Technicians are irresponsible & careless. After three months they
talk about the replacement of Music system PCB at cost of Rs 700/- ?
Not at all bothered to visit the customer?
Customer service is poor.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION BY EUREKA FORBES?

Right after installation of AQUAGUARD TOTAL NF , the authorised person did not give the IRON FILTER and blatently asked for Rs 2000 more on several visits for installing the IRON filter-
Lodging complaints with the local AQUAGUARD service providers , no arrangement could be worked out .It is now 2 years they have got away with this mischief

If this company is hiring ONLY such CHEATS , why dont we let the world know about them ?

We baught the Ro system from Eureka Forbes in 2008. at the time of installation it was assured by the service provider that the Membrane will work for an year. the amc was given to the authorised service dealer. At the time of renewal it was suggested to change the mambrane as the water flow was not up to the mark.
In august we registered a complaint regarding the less water flow, the servie man came but even after the servicing the wanter flow was not up to the mark . In oct he came again and we put the online complaint in eureka forbes website, the person came and put the refurnished mambrane. But the problem is same. and we need 3-4 hrs to get 8 ltr water. Again the service person is asking us to change the Membrane which costs rs 2340/-.

we are just fad up with these services and the cost as well time involved in this.

Complained on 7th afternoon;
no response till this time.
not aware when they can send the technician
buying water for the last one week in spite of AMC paying 3600
We now fell cheated after buying eureka machine.
We were lured by TATA name and invested in this.
I have to be compensated for the agony and for the money spent on buying water.
May be they can give the nano water purifier free as compensation

I bought a aquaguard classic on nov 25th 2009. a person called loganathan installed the aquaguard. They were so good that before i could keep the phone ordering for the system they came for demo and installed very next day. Brilliant. after 2 days only i came to know that the system had a big crack in the front. Because there was a layer of plastic covered we could not find the fault at the time of buying. For the past 2 weeks i have been calling customer care to replace the system but till date no action is taken. They keep asking my name and address and prmoise will be replaced the same day and this has been going on for past 2 weeks. These are the names of the persons i had interacted.... akila, sarala, sudha, kishore,jayshankar so on... i did not note down first few names i had talked with. A person called Jeenu who is manager for these persons does not even pick his mobile. I think he has prepaid phone and does not want to waste money i guess. What a service they are giving. If this is the case for new proudct imagine the kind of service we can expect down the line. I hope they work according to their concious and take the compalint seriously and replace asap.

I had bought the above mentioned RO system from Aquaguard which is a product of Eureka Forbes. From the first day onwards the customer support provided by the company has been pathetic and is an indicator to the companies ethos. Their field agents are no good than novice plumbers equally pathetic and living upto the companies name. On the first instance after the system was installed no one turned up till the next 48 hrs to make the system functional, despite of innumerous calls to the customer care. Thereafter one day out of the blue a so called agent turns up for the so called regular inspection after 5 months and diagnoses a requirement for a filter change. Thereafter after a few months another agent turns up and after a check up leaves, without even fitting the plastic pipes inside the machine properly. As a result the machine has been leaking continously. On calling on his mobile no which is [protected] ( Rohit Sharma) he says that he is extremely sorry & would fix it. However he does'nt turn up and switches off his mobile. It is really disgusting and annoying.

Purchased Aquaguard RO Silver in 2007. Customer code No[protected] Product code NO.:GWPDAGR0000000. My daughter paid AMC on 2.10.08 Rs.3340 for changing the membrane when I was in USA. I am Retd. Senior Scientist, C.L.R.I., Chennai and I am very wellversed with R.O. system as we are doing a lot of Tannery effluent disposal projects to filter suspended toxic salts during tanning and recycling by RO system to use the pure water for tanning purposes. In my cse, unnecessarily changed the membranes of the aquaguard. I got a letter from your service dept.to pay Rs.3360 for 1 yr. or 6820 for 2 years. When the membranes are in good condition and satisfy all your required specification for pure and hygene, where is the necessary to change the expensive membranes. Your Technician came and tested the output water with a meter, He himself said that the water is pure and no need to change the membranes. In fact you are making the customer to comulsorily pay for the membranes. I am prepared to pay general maintenance charge and a state comes that it is necessary to change the membranes, I pay for it. Your immediate action is pretty much appreciated.

I bought a water filter from Eureka forbes ,model is Forbes Aqua Flo designa,in Mumbai in nov/dec in 2006.When i set up my house in Udupi i contacted the local office of eureka forbes & got it installed.All these years the machine was serviced by the local Forbes branch.About 4 to 5 months ago,One Mr.Kumar from the local Forbes branch approached me to buy a new model of water filter,Aqua guard Total-Gold nova.I refused to buy since my old water filter was working fine,but he pestered me to buy.Finally i brought the new model on one condition that the old water filter be fixed at my mother in law's house near hebri village(about 40 kms from udupi) free of cost.

Now Mr.Kumar after selling the new model has turned nasty.After installing the new water filter he promised me that he will install the old one at my in-laws place after the month end,since he will be busy with the months targetsHe did not turn up.Then i called his mobile he refused to take my call.After 2 months a service engineer came for routine service of the new filter.I complained to this person.Few days later mr.Kumar calls me up & gets abusive. He told me that he will not install the old water filter at my in-laws house near hebri.ALSO HE ADDED THAT I CAN COMPLAIN TO ANY ONE,HE DOES NOT CARE.

Dear Sir/ Mam,

I am really surprised with the standard of “after sales service” Eureka Forbes is extending now a days to the customers. It is quite astonishing and agonizing to come across such a worthless level of commitment in terms of after sales service. The below stated points would support my statements…..

• I had purchased one aquasure water filter three months back and recently came across a problem regarding the filtration process. I immediately lodged a service request (request no =[protected] on 30.11.09 to the service centre and I was given the assurance that it would be attended in two working days time.
• On 03.11.09; I had received a call from one of one of the executives (Name is Raju) who does not know how to talk with a customer and he asked me about the problem regarding the filter. I explained the same to him and he had assured that he would come to my residence to sort it out on the same day.
• Till 05.11.09 nobody turned up in my residence and surprisingly the same guy called me up again inquiring about the problems I am facing. I suggested him to visit my residence and he said that he would visit my house at about 11 a.m. on 07.12.09; but till now nobody has arrived in my house.

Would also request to take strong actions against the executives like Raju ; because their ill sense of commitment is bothering organization’s reputation.

My address is :101 A TATA SYMPHONY, CHANDIVLI ROAD, POWAI, MUMBAI-400072, INSIDE NAHAR’S AMRIT SHAKTI.

Looking forward for your intervention.

We have signed a AMC with an authorised dealer for Eureka Forbes.
The dealer was supposed to service the Water purifier, but it has not been done.
Inspite of complaints to the company and the dealer there as per the has never been any action.
Can the company be sued in the consumer court for non performance of contract.??

hello sir,
this is shekharbabu from donimalai township, bellary dist,karnataka. I recently purchased water purifier , that is not working properly and i call them but their response is not well. I was attacked by wiral fever . please take actoin on them.

I have a Aquaguard iNova. This was bought more than 4 years back. I have AMC on this product. I have registered a complaint more than a month back and am still waiting for the service technician to turn up.

The service in Chennai is very poor from Eureka Forbes. I am saying this as this is not the first time I have faced this problem with the AMC.

Please do not go for EF products, especially in Chennai, as they don't know how to provide customer service.

The RO+UV power boil model is not working for more than 2 weeks and the complaint (telephone) I have given long back is not considered at all. Today I have given complaint again to Mr.Jaishankar, Comp. No.56276038. He informs that the service persons will come tomorrow not today. I really regret for buying AQUA product. My 2 months old complaint on the same product also still pending no one turned up till date. The phone customer care personnels promise that they will send a person immediately but noting happens for weeks and months. I had enough of Eureka Forbes Ltd-Aqua Sure. EVERY BODY PLEASE BEWARE OF EUREKA FORBES PRODUCTS - This is my message to all who are planning to buy any appliances.

The said item was purchased on 31.03.08 and during entire warranty period no servicing was done. As per warranty terms, two servicing was free.

Today when I called Euro help line and asking for AMC contract of the said item, priya, the representative was told that the charges are Rs 1000 for 1 year and delivery of this contract to my residance is Rs 250.

When I procured the item, Representative of Eureka Forbes delivered the item in my home without any charges but now for delivery of AMC contrat they are asking Rs 250.

Requested their call centre on 23rd Oct,2009 to send someone to re-install our aqua flo as we moved home and also to get a fresh AMC contract. No one turns up and had to Remind them on 11th nov and the next day they send some person called DATTA without any ID who insist that he can service the machine and the installation can be done later. (a joke) call them again on the 23rd Nov 09. and spaeak to a callous RAJ at their call centre who heard me out and said HE WILL TRY HIS BEST..............! He said the technicians are not from eureka forbes so there was not much he could do but request them to attend to the call. is this a joke guys....................... I wonder what sevice means to this company

I have procured an Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Total Infinity brand Water purifier. I first saw this at a consumer fair held at Salt Lake Stadium, and the representative at the fair informed me that I would get a surprise gift if I book the water purifier. He also informed me that he would be able to send his representative to my residence, who could take my booking. I gave my address and as said the representative arrived. When I asked him regarding the free gift, he first informed me that the same would be sent to me on full payment. I made the full payment within some days of making the booking, and then he informed me that the free gift will be delivered at the time of delivery of the water purifier. Later, just prior to the delivery, when I reminded him of the free gift, he told me that there are some complications and I would need to talk to his senior. I spoke to his senior, Who then informed me that since I did not pay the booking amount at the consumer fair, I do not stand eligible for the free gift. I updated my complaint in the customer feedback section of Eureka forbes website ( www.eurekaforbes.com ), however, there has still been no response in this regard from Eureka Forbes. The value of a free gift is immaterial, but I want to bring to notice the fraudulent selling practices being used by the company.
