Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN

Myself am a customer of eureka forbes Mrs Hemali Tanna and I am fed up of the response by the head of eureka forbes Jamnagar Branch Mr. Bindesh who is least concerned abt my complaint to him since last 3 months . During the time of purchase i was been assured a gurantee of 2 yrs plus free monthly services aswell. Unfortunatly I have till date not even received a single service even after 8 months of purchase . I Hereby request to take strict action against Mr. Bindesh at jamnagar branch. thank you. my contact number is [protected]

We had a Aquagard Classic water purifier which we got changed to Aquagard Inova on exchange offer, through the Eureka Forbes salesman Mr. Sanjeev Mishra. We had made the service contract for the older unit. On the purchase of the new unit Mr. Mishra told us that the service contract will be transferred to the new unit. Since the new unit was purchased on 6 Feb, 2008, the filter and charcoal of the new unit was to be changed after one year we contacted Mr. Mishra in early Feb 2009. Since then every now and then he is bluffing, telling lies and not coming. Of late he is not even receiving our calls. Whereas two routine checkups were to be done in the first year, this has not been done by the service people. Such type of expected from a company like Eureka Forbes or is it a tradition in the company to harass the customers. Even Mr. Mishra had harassed us a lot with regard to the relocation of our Aquagard in our new residence in May. A complaint had been lodged there and after great difficulty teh reloaction was done. People like Mishra not only harass customers but also bring disrepute to the company.

This is Kamalakar from Balaji Nagar Colony, Kukatpally, Hyderabad. On 28th of September, 2008, I have purchased Aquasure Platinum water purifier through ezone, Hyderabad. In the month of January, 2009 I had an issue with the purifier and when contacted the service department for couple of times, they attended my complaint and said that PCB is down and it has to be replaced. I was assured that the issue will be resolved in a weeks time but till date there is no response. My complaint number is 4780. The worst part is there is no minimum courtesy to respond to the customer. I had to follow up with atleast 2 calls and still there is no minimum concern from their end. They are not doing any social service and I really feel sorry for opting a product from Eureka Forbes. They are just fooling me around that the issue will be solved in 2 days. Gone are many "2 days" and its almost one and half month. I wrote emails to all the email IDs that are avaiable but in vain. There is no proper access to the manager to escalate the issue.

Following are the people whom I have contacted and everyone says "This will be solved in 2 days"...

I have contacted the above said persons 'n' number of times especially the customer support but there is no proper answer or solution given. I would like to file a case in Consumer Forum under section 2(o) as my final attempt.

Thanks,
Kamalakar.

I purchased Aquaguard sensa product considering to be a better brand company even though the price difference to its competitor was more than Rs. 4000/-. But all this seems to be myth for me and probably many customers like me. During sales these sales personnel gave us assurance of various service on quarterly and half yearly but no one has turned out till date.

We are facing from very beginning the leakage issue as well as the issue of auto shifting from RO to UV. And made several complaints in this regard but i don't think there is any difference to this company and care for the customer issue.

We have lodged several complaint through phone but not one responded The last complaint we lodged was of complaint number 53275585 dated around 26th Feb. The person from company responded but unfortunately to our badluck the electricity was not there at that time and the service personnel promised to come and resolved it on next day in the morning. After that we tried calling that personnel but he is not responding. We have requested to kindly replace the given water purifier as my whole kitchen furniture is being damaged for this very issue and as such we have to keep this almost closed now.

I hope there will be some response atleast now from this forum

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN,

Myself Hemali Thakrar being a customer of eureka forbes am completely disatisfied with the service of your company . I have launched my complaint since last 6 months and the answers to my problems where so irritating that i finally ended up mailing u nd m lukg forward for ur assistance and an urgent solution to my problem ..I am facing this problem at jamnagar branch the dealers name is bindesh and sorry to say but he is least concerned abt ur customers...plz help

I had renewd the contract of my aquaguard compact water purifier for 2 years via receipt no: 16357093 dt.8/2/09 prd. 22/3/09 to 21/3/09 by paying 1790/= by Suprium Services franchisee Eureka bombay 400004 tel: 23841186. They assured me that if i take 2 year contact i would be given One Cover of Aquaguard for Free, but now they dont listen to me and say cover is out of stock. Such a cheap policy to gain long contacts.

Dear sir,

I have bought an Aquasure Water Purifier 10 months back. Till date we were unable to use it as it does not filter the water as they promise. After cleaning of catridge, each and every time it becomes a headache for me. I have been requesting Eureka Forbes dealer many times. But no response...

I personally visited the dealer with water purifier to M/s Target Marketing, i/c Mr.Muralidhar ultimately problemis with the Resin used by the Eureka Forbes. Launched the product with the filter which does not have air vent to flow the water. Later company has been modified from Resin to Bromine.

The purifier can only work with the new modifed filter which cost me Rs. 450/- Why a consumer should suffer from the mistake made by company due to design. THey should have tested throughly before launching the product other wise if product is not working with the existing they should replace required item at free of cost. It is intresting to note that new purifiers are with new modified filter which inticates old filter problem.

The same thing was referred to Dealer Mr.Muralidhar, Eureka Forbes Area sales manager Mr.Ravi Shanker whose response is poor and arrogant.

Requested to takeup the issue sir,

regards,

I had taken Annual Maintenance Contract for service for Aquaguard Classic for 2 years from 08.09.2006 and paid an amount of Rs.1590/- vide cheque No.098866 dated 08.09.2006 The service contract was valid from 08.09.2006 to 07.09.2008 vide Contract Receipt No. 11307207. At that time I was stationed at Hyderabad at Flat No. 505, Pallavi Vihar Apartments, Ameerpet, Hyderabad. The company could service the model twice during 2006-07. Subsequently, despite my several reminders, the servicing was not done. In the meanwhile I was transferred to Bangalore during May 2008 and I shifted my residence to Bangalore and took up my residence at Flat No. S-3, No. 6, NHCS Layout, 13th Main, Saraswathinagar, Bangalore 560040. The fact of this was communicated to them and I also requested them to install the machine at the new address, which they failed. Despite my several reminders, and speaking to their customer service executives at their helpline and also to the Manager of their Service Centre, Sri Murari Bhat, my problems were not resolved and I was offered to service only the unit but not replacement of candles and the carbon, which was integral part of the service and was to be done once in six months. My several calls to the Head of their Bangalore Division Mr. Ravishankar was unresponded and his mobile was being disconnected every time a call was placed to him.

This is UTTER DEFICIENCY OF SERVICE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY AND I REQUEST YOU TO REDRESS MY GRIEVANCE AND DIRECT THE COMPANY TO EXTEND ME ONE YEAR SERVICE CONTRACT FREE OF COST. I ALSO REQUEST YOU TO ADVISE THE COMPANY TO PAY ME DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT OF RS.10000/- FOR HAVING CAUSED ME MENTAL AGONY AND STRESS FOR ALL THE PAINS TAKEN BY ME FOR GETTING THE DULY ELIGIBLE AND OBLIGATORY SERVICE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY.

Re: Complain on Eureka Forbes Ltd machinery (Aqua Guard) and fraud from Sales personnel.

Dear Sir,

Once a guy came to our colony (Royal Bungalows) and distributed a Business Card that I am attaching with this complain. On 07/10/2008 I called the guy for an Aqua Guard of Eureka Forbes Ltd. He came to my place along with other guy (told us that he is the Leader of the 1 st guy) and shown a prospectus of different models (Eureka Forbes Ltd).
He convinced with the Aqua Guard RO model amounting Rs-14500/-. On that very day they delivered the product with fitting the total tools into my kitchen.
For that service they took 5400/- cash and 9100/- self cheque No 470550 drawn on ICICI Bank and provided a receipt No 019429 from Eureka Forbes Ltd in the name of my wife “Ashima Mukherjee”.
Also told that the Warranty card and servicing card would be coming to my address within a month.
I talked with that guy vide Cell No[protected] and [protected] as mentioned in the Business Card several times for servicing of the Aqua Guard as well as non receipt of any Warranty card and servicing card from Eureka Forbes Ltd.
After getting fed up I went to the office as mentioned in the Business Card “Sapphire Heights, A.B.Road, Indore” on 24 th Jan 2009 and complained regarding non receipt of Warranty card and servicing card also no servicing from Eureka Forbes Ltd.

The attendant put the complain no 279 (24/01/2009) and sent a technician for servicing of Aqua Guard on that very day.

The technician visited my place and told that the Aqua Guard- machinery was not the original from Eureka Forbes Ltd. Also he called at[protected] and wanted to know about the product.

After that I again talked at phone no 2578142/2578150 and described every thing happened to me. I got phone to 3268849 for Eureka Forbes Ltd, Sapna Sangeta Road and talked with you.

Now I am attaching the Business Card along with the Receipt from Eureka Forbes Ltd for your necessary steps so that I could get back my expense Rs-14500/- or the original Aqua Guard RO model machinery from Eureka Forbes Ltd.

This is a serious complaint from me. It is creating a lot agony into my mind.

I request you to understand my agony and redress the complaint within a few days.

Thanks & Regards,


Chandra Sekhar Mukherjee Dated: 28/01/2009

Enclo: As above.

The water filter model senza doesn't work at all. The outflow of water from RO is of same quality as input water.
On complaint, the service engineer tells - it works like that only. On repated complaint other engineer comes and say he doesn't know how this model works.

I would recommend not to by water purifiers from Eureka forbes as they don't have quality products and trained service engineer to install and support them.

I am persuing for service of my vaccum cleaner since past 1 month & till now I am sitting on the same track, without any revertals.

Subject: Re: Urgent : Complaint on Installation
To: pratima.[protected]@eurekaforbes.co.in,...

i have brought the eureka forbes water purifier . when the executive visited for demo, after explaination of teh product he did not say about maintenence. ex. replacement of filter cartridge every year. it is costing 3660 rs. now i have no other option other than replacing it every year. when asked upon the discount on mrp they r not ready to give any discount. even the service which they r offering is also very very poor.

This is the second year o[censored]sing this product. When it was installed last year, they fixed a very long pipe. We have been asking them to cut short it so tht we can change it when it gathers moss. Inspite of repeated requests, the pipe wasnt cut or changed. Today they come for servicing and chnage the pipe and ask for money. Is this some cheap way of collecting money waiting for the thing to get spoilt. I was amazed at the way they were quick in changing pipe today after two years!!!. I hope tht the organisation like eureka forbes has some responsibility to the customers when they install their product.

I HAVE PURCHASE EUREKA FORBES AQUAGUARD INTEGRA HI-LIFE ON 20/1/2009 FROM DELHI ROHNI/PITAMPURA BRANCH THROUGH MR.HARI PARSHAD COMPANY SALES OFFICER HIS EMPLOYEE CODE IS 39883434 . UNFORTUNATELY FROM DATE OF PURCHASED MACHINE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND EUREKA FORBES LTD DOES NOT CHANGE THE MACHINE OR REPAIR IT PROPERLY

the water purifier does not working

I have bought an Aquaguard I-Nova e-boiling model one & half years back from Kolkata & currently I am based out of Hyderabad. I have taken a comprehensive AMC contract for this product a year back & currently the product is just not operating for the last one month. I have registered the first complaint on 7th Jan 2009 & thereafter made several calls at the Company's 24 hour helpline but without any resolution. Even I do not receive any calls from any Service technician & now I am looking at escaling this thru mass communication channels as I have realised that there is no point calling up the Customer Service center. Given below are the Complaint number along with my Customer no.

Complaint No- [protected]
Customer No - [protected]

Lets see if I finally end up making a complaint at the Consumer Cell.

During my visit at Trade fair at delhi .Mr Rakesh Chaube of Eurka forbes has taken some mony as a token of registration and told us that this amount will be refunded once my man visit to your home . But till date no body has turned up and when ever we ask for money then he behaves very rudely and till date he has not returned the money which he has taken in the name EUREKA FORBES.
