Glen Complaints & Reviews

i am reen bansal from pune i have purchased a chimney in 2007 i had a very bad experience regarding the glen chimney.so i decided to share my experience on compare india
i think this will atleast help me to get my problem solve

i had registered a complaint for the the chimney not working within the warranty period just 3 days was left for the warranty to get expired. i registered my complaint to the service center they assured me that the technician will vist at my residence the very next day so i had to take a leave that they because the technician will not visit after 6pm this what service they provide.that day the technician did not visit at my residence & i was unable to get in touch with the cordinator as the no was engaged continousaly so i had to give up the next day i again contacted the service center the cordinator told me the technciian visited at your residence & nobody was present so he could not complate the work this was the lie they i could not argue with them as i wanted to get my work done so the next day my husband was in the house for the same ting he visited a 5 pm & told that you will have to pay for the motor what is been short when my usband told the technicna that it was in warranrty he refused to thathe told him please chaek the record it was been registered in warranty period he refused to & asked for the amount of 3000/- so contacted the head office in faridabad we dint get any help from them also even they refused to saying that the call was registered out of warranty even when we send the document to them they refused the chimney cost was 10000/- so we filled a case against the geln chimney with all the necessary document as we had recorded the converstaion that i had with the coordinator as she confirmed that the comaplint will be registered within warranty period
so we got the compenssion & even got our work done'so when ever you are speaking to the glen service kindly record the call so you have the proof.

We are a old resident of Indore, and have bought a Glen Gas Table - GL 1031S Steel TR on 23/07/2005 from you authorised dealer LOTUS at Indore MP. Before buying the same we found that the price range of you Gas Table was higher compared to other local brands. Inspite of this buying a product from company like GLEN we always beleive that the quality has no compromise , and we are spending higher due to best of quality and long term responce from product.
Unfortunetly our experience to the same is just opposite and we felt that buying a gas table from you company was a mistake. On 11/12/2008 , some problem has come in the Gas Table and as per the suggession of your authorised service center : M/s Ambor Marketing P Ltd we have to bear the cost of change in Alluminium Gas Tube . Post approx six months again the Gas Table start troubleing , again we made a compalint with your authorised service center : M/s Ambor Marketing P Ltd and on 27/07/2009 , we have to again bear the cost of change in Knob, Burnor Alluminium . We fail to understand a GAS TABEL buy from such a reputed company has so frequent compalint and everytime the parts needs to be changed at customer cost.

We would like to know why such a poor quality material used in the Gas Table , and inspite of paying a higer price why consumer needs to face the problem like this. Also wish to understand do the company like Glen Appliances P Ltd has some consumer grivences policy, and if so we would like to hear somthing soon from you.

An Unsatisfied customer

I bought a Glen 4-burner gas stove from Santosh Super Store, Annanagar, Chennai-40. Since the day it was delivered, the burners are not working properly. it will get 'off' suddenly resulting in gas leakage. We made many complaints. the technicians will come and say these are like that only. the largest burner does not work at all. technician says it is for making chappatti and not for anything else. we gave up.

i would like you to warn potential buyers of glen stove to be careful.

I bought a cooking range from Glen distributor Kolkata around July last year and it is under warranty.

Last week while cooking with the top cover in standing position (which is obvious) my Cooking range (GL 2012 PLT AI) top cover glass suddenly exploded which led to minor injuries to my mother and her sister.

I immediately called Glen service and they did not pay much attention and they sent their technician after 2 days after repeated calls.

Also their technician Mr Biswajit Das (Bapi) who came on 14th Mar has said that there is a problem with the set and he won't mention to Glen because he is an employee with Glen as in that case Glen has to fix the set or replace the set free of cost.

Also i tried reaching Mr. Arun Malhotra couple of times on 14th Mar & 16th Mar at their head office in Faridabad and he din't speak with me, always his secretary said that he is not available now.

After that i sent a mail to Glen on 16th Mar, i'm yet to recieve a reply on that also.

I have purchased a four burner stove from Sana Enterprises and the Company manufacturing the Cooking top was Glen, Further to the accident I have lodged a complaint on their website and also sent copy of the accident pics along with the Cooking top to their office but they never bother to respond .Infact they have exhibited negligence and lack of customer service which purely displays their sales centric nature and lack of post purchase service .

As per the offer price the product cost to Rs.11990/- inclusive of all taxes, installation and all. In addition to this LIFE TIME WARRANTY will be provided after purchase. It was clearly discussed FRESH PIECE should be supplied from MEGHA.

I received the CHIMNEY on date 23/06/08 at my residence without the original packing, without the operational manual, no documents were provided regarding the serial number of the equipment. There was a good sticker on the Chimney indicating the serial and all details.

When we enquired about these papers the sale man tells there is no problem and you will get the original Invoice, warranty card and the manual within 5 days. As per the sales man these papers has to go to the Glen factory for verification and stamping of LIFE TIME WARRANTY, that was the reason it has been taken out from the box at office itself.

We thought it is a reputed company there should no problem. But even after 21 days we didn’t get the Invoice/warranty card, etc. Than we contacted the sales man with the answer it will take another one month.
When we go in detail we found that it was a DEMO piece that’s why there was no documents in side the box. We also found the specification on the packing box is also fake and is not matching with the other original boxes kept in the Megha showroom.

Then we move to their head office at Vaishali, they behaved very well and apologize for the inconvenience and promised to deliver all documents within a week.


After 4-5 days we received only the original invoice No.[protected] dated 23/06/08, through courier. When enquired about the manual and the life time warranty they told it will come by courier separately. After 7-10 days we received one courier from M/S Megha, containing one Manual and a form for Life time warranty form. This warranty form has to be signed by me and to be sent to Glen factory at Faridabad directly as per the instruction of the Megha staff. Both manual and the warranty form were of some other model & serial number, which has been changed manually by Megha staff, to our model and serial number. When we asked about the same, we get a reply the original one is misplaced and this will serve the purpose and you will not get any problem regarding service and all.

Any way, I signed the form and sent to M/S Glen, Faridabad, by courier details Z77910055 dated 19/08/08 by DTDC.

Again I received a letter from Glen Faridabad, with a reply “ we are in receipt of the life time warranty form but the photocopy of the INVOICE is not attached. And the serial number is overlapping, so please provide the original document and your phone number so that we can make the warranty approved.”

This letter I had received on (around 22/09/08). As I was traveling to Egypt these days I was not able to reply. I came back from Egypt on 15/09/08 and then I couriered all the required documents to M/S Glen on date 30/09/08 by DTDC courier no.Z78853325. Next day I received a call from Glen (Ms.Purnima) stating there is no original manual from the dealer. Then I brief all above realty to him. She told me you don’t worry this is clearly dealers fault and we will give you the life time warranty at any cost.

But again I made hundreds of phone calls to M/S Megha and M/S Glen regarding this but at last M/S Glen (Me.Purnima) has raised his hands and said M/S Glen cannot do anything in this regard as it is totally dealers fault and you have to settle it with the dealer. She even did not connected me to her senior officials.

At present the status is lying as it is.

Please suggest me how to make a legal cheating case on M/S Glen and M/S Megha, so that can never think to cheat there customer like me. I am ready to spend any amount to punish these companies. For evidence I had kept everything safe with me like the packing box in which I received the Chimney with the specification slip, courier receipts, the news paper aid for the price and the life time warranty offer, etc, .

Sir,I have bought Glen Electric Chimney Model NoGL6013SS Dec 2004. First couple of years it worked fine, post that it was unable to suck the smoke & grease while cooking,hence i made numerous calls to the customer service no they have provided.First they promised me they will send a technichian, but even calling them several times they sent a person, who does't have sound knowledge of the product. He came and changed the mesh and cleaned the chimney and Charged Rs1200 and also he assured us that the problem will be solved now.But to our bad luck nothing has happened.

Looks to me we have wasted our money by purchasing Glen Products.I want to warn other buyer not to go for any Glen Productsm they have pathetic Service back up. How can i sue Glen to return my money.Plz suggest .
Thanking you
Amit Singha
