Kenstar Complaints & Reviews

I have purchased Microwave oven model- KJ 25CSG 150-MGZ on 17th Dec, 2013.from S.R Electronics, Nagole, Hyderabad. From the day of purchase its not working. The dish was overheat on top but its not getting cooked. Complaint registered on 25th Dec, 2013.(Code- HYD [protected]). service man had come to home and checked for two hours he is inefficient for the service couldnot understood the problem finally he pressed all the buttons and said problem was solved. But again we got the same problem we registered another complaint on 5th Feb 2014 (Code- HYD [protected]) none of the service engineer came. Finally we made a call on 14th March, 2014. (Code-HYD [protected]) we mention the customer care executive that we need an immediate response from your service or else we would like to replace the product. Executive replied that if you want the replacement you have to go for dealer. This understands your poor service among customers. The dealer sell your products as it has good and quality services. Wa are not satisfied with your product and your service. I just handovered your product to the dealer. A.Shashidhar Reddy

Hi team, I registered a complain regarding some timer issues in my microwave oven (KJ20CSL3) with the customer care on 27th December 2013 which was addressed by the technician of the concerned service center on 31st December 2013. I was charged Rs. 1500 for the spare part and Rs. 350 as service charge, totalling to Rs. 1850, whereas the message that I received from the customer care quoted only Rs. 1741.58. As told by the technician, the spare part has a warranty of three months and the service charge will stay valid for one month effective from the day of service. Exactly after 26 days of service, the same problem reiterated and therefore, i registered a complain again with the same service center but the technician never turned up. Then I filed a complain with the Kenstar customer care after which the same service center took away the microwave oven to the center for repairing. After 5 days, I am informed over a call that the additional expense of about Rs. 1200 will be incurred for few replaced switches and some wiring. Wow! I am shocked to see how these incompetent service centers make a fool out of innocent people. When asked for a bill, they provided a black & white printout with manually entered figures (without center registration number, TIN, License No etc on the bill) evidently fake. The customer is innocent about the technical details of the work carried out on the defected product and hence easily cheated by such traitors in the name of authorised service centres of big brands. I am really disappointed with this kind of after sale service that a giant appliance company like Kenstar has offered. I couldn't find any mail id on the Kenstar website where i can register my grievance. It is requested to escalate this issue to the concerned authority and may please be expedited with immediate effect.

This is to bring to your notice that ur authorized service centers should be inspected by your companies i guess you have a brand to uphold and only then be give your authenticity after knowing the actual motive of theses service centers is it to give after sales service or only to stalk and swindle their customers. I had purchased a kent Purifier 2 years back and after my complementary service where done i got a call from one of your service center called Pure Life. Asking to take an AMC for further service to keep the machine healthy. On 9th March 2013 an person from there end visited my residence and did the paid service selling me an AMC worth Rs 1850- he insured me four service with changing of 2 time candle change 1 Carbon change which i agreed he also assured me that they would provide me services on Sunday as well as i was a working women. Since then i used to get call and appointment taken from there end for service but no one ever came on time allotted to me. Time given time an again i kept telling there tale callers that am a working women and can’t get my service done on week days but ever time dey fail to understand that and kept insisting for giving appointments on week day i also suggested that at least the times of the person coming Should be after 7;30 as that is the time i return from work. I finally managed to get two Services ie 9th March and 21st July after all the harassment; the worst is yet to come. My 3rd service was due and like always a bunch of fools kept calling me and asking for appointment on a week day and took multiple appointments and did not turn up for the service. Finally i had a mid day holiday so i called and fixed up an afternoon appointment with them for approx 3pm which again to no surprise to me the person did not turn up. On 14 th Jan 2014 me being on leave i booked an appointment with them as the service was very much over due. To my surprise the gentleman on the other side Mr Suresh informs me that i have already availed a service on the 26th of Dec 2013 and he has a signature on my amc card i was totally loathing and informed in a definite tone that i haven’t got any service since July and i too hold a copy of their service guys signatures... as to when they have visited. After a long disagreement he sent a person to my place with the card that i had demanded for to check and validate as to who had signed on the same as i stay alone with my kid.To my sock there was a replication of my signature done which was very much not mine i spoke to Mr Suresh and informed him the same i also produce the similar card which i had as my records that no person from their had visited since then. The copy of the card where in my signature Have been copied are as attached. This is the way these companies make money on cheating their customers in this manner. I am totally dismayed and do not trust the Pure Life center any more they are crocks of the first degree.

This is a manufacturing defect and Kenstar should replace the product. I have also register the complaint in Feb 2013 and again on 25th Oct 2013 through there customer care No. (Complaint no. JAI[protected]) but we have not yet received any solution. we have tried to approach the customer care more then 5-6 times but not getting the proper revert. Kindly help us in providing the needful Justice to consumer. Nitin kalani [protected]

I had purchased a Kenstar microwave from Vedoms showroom Nagpur. Currently out of warranty. Few days back The input pad was not working hence I had lodged a complaint to the service station, of Kenstar in Badkas Chowk, mahal Nagpur (ph no.[protected] on last saturday. The service engineer Mr Chandu had come to our place and took the PCB for repairing. He told me that it would cost Rs 650 and Rs 250 for repair and service charges respectively. Since that day there was NO proceedings done from your service station, today upon calling him it was told to me that the PCB is not repairable and also a fresh one was not available. And the service station said to dispose-off the microwave oven. This is sheer irresponsibility from your service station to harass the customers and also to mislead them. It is possible that for a part replacement one has to destroy the whole appliance? If it is to be disposed off then I will dump the appliance in a trash can and click a photograph of the appliance and will post it on a social networking site and will add the fact that if a part is out-of-order of a kenstar appliance then you have to replace the whole thing and throw the WHOLE appliance out as it is ir-repairable.

sir, I had dreamt for having a food processor for many years. Fortunately it was fulfilled and I preferred for Kenstar which I purchased few months before. But during the first use the blade for grating broke.I had to visit 10 to 15 times to the service center for its replacement. Now for the second time the knob for speed is cracked . This has disappointed me a lot. Kindly need your help for the replacement

i had purchased a microwave oven (kenster)from anandamela, parcus road burdwan, on 4.6.2008. but ater that my family started to use that oven.later on after few days the microwave oven was repeatedly out of order. the service centres were very much irregelar regarding their services.for examples 13/8/08,11.8.08, 23.12.08, 9.02.09, 8.1.10,30.1.2010, 16.7.2010, 15.7.2011. as the set became repeatedly out of order, i requested anandemela. after repeated request they misguided me they are changing the oven. they just changed the serial nos from[protected] to [protected]. but supplied the same oven i think. we had used the oven for maximum period of two months after purchasing the oven. their service is very much unsatisfactory & irregular.in the mean time i had done AMC from take care india pvt. limited(047997), asansol on 30.1.2010 for a period of two years with a amount of Rs.2980.00. Ultimately one of their service technician named raju,from service plaza, burdwan,taken transformer from our oven to rapair 15.7.2011& never turned up till now.

Hi, This is regarding the Kenstar aircooler. The Complaint has been registered on number # [protected]. The Kenstar support so pathetic that I have logged the complaint 15 days back and i have not got a response till now.. I keep calling Kenstar support everyday. They keep me hold on line for long and never respond. I would like to escalate this to high level and take action against the Customer care agent and his supervisor Chanti babu.

Thanks and regards

Your after sales service is pathetic, lousy, I had raised a complaint on April 17th 2013,BAN [protected] but till date April 29th, 2013 nobody has attend to the complaint despite repeated call to your/videocon customer care. I have been regularly following up with the centre every second day. I have decided that I will never buy Kenstar product and will make sure tell every known person that your service is lousy.

Dear Sir,

We bought a Kenstar Geyser in October'12. In the month of January'13, it stopped working because it's temperature sensor failed for which we lodged a complaint which took 1 month to resolve after multiple follow ups with the site engineer who kept giving us reasons that part is not available. Now in the month of April'13, it again stopped working, we have lodged a complaint on 4 April'13 and it took 2 weeks for engineer to make 1st visit, post which he said he needs to replace a part which is not available so the request was cancelled by Service Center without consulting us, we again lodged a complaint on 17th April'13 now it's been 4 weeks we have not recieved a solution to our problem by Kenstar .

This is our 2nd bad experience with Kenstar Services. Please take this into your notice and take necessary action against Kenstar.
