I bought Kent RO Water Purifier in May 2011 . i have some problem with my Kent RO Water Purifier in january 2012. I called service centre which name is modern services in Aurangabad in Varanasi. one Technician(name sujeet) came in my house , he repair my Kent RO Water Purifier and charged Rs. 500.00 coz at present my purchase bill was not available and he said next day he would return my money back and take xerox copy of purchase bill. but his next day never come . i made 25 calls to thia service centre for my money back and giving xerox copy of bill. but he did not come passing over one month.
Now i decided , i am going to cosumer Forum. and take action against Kent RO Water Purifier company as well as Service Centre also, not for Rs. 500/- but in the case of cheating and could not cheat to any body.

Have a Kent RO Water filter which breaks down every few days. In spite of a number of complaints and a number of technicians (at least 10 in no.) the machine keeps on breaking down every other day. Common complaints include membrane change, nrv not working, lamp not working, elbows leaking. We got an AMC done few weeks back but has not helped. More than 10000/- Rs spent so far and still am incurring 100+ Rs every day for drinking water as its a basic necessity. Repeated complaints and escalations within Kent RO have not helped. Some of the recent complaint numbers are D11289654 and 145724. We have reached a point where we need a refund of AMC and all the recent repairs done. No further service required from Kent RO. We are better off buying a new water filter from a better reputed company.
Thanks

Hi sir/ma'am,

I had purchased the KENT RO Purifier Model PEARL on 23rd of October 2011. After the installation I noticed that the top Lid of the device did not close properly, there was a gap when it closed.
I verified the same by checking other devices of same model at the showroom and also installed devices at my friend's place.

The defect leaves space enough for insects like cockroach, ants etc. who climb through it since the purified water in the container is sweet because of which the container needs to be dismounted very other day and cleaned.How effective is a water purifier if it cannot keep such insects from getting in to the storage area !

Upon complaint to the dealer from where it was purchased, he had sent a technician who failed to rectify the problem. When I complained again on the phone he replied that there was nothing that he could do as it could not be repaired, the only option would be to replace the complete device as that part is not replaceable.

When asked for escalation he gave the number of some executive at Kent who gave the same answer.

When I had bought the device I had done appropriate research and compared it with all major players before settling for your company only because of recommendations from our friend's who incidentally have the same model and face no such issues. I request you to please escalate the matter to the right person so that the device can be replaced/repaired and save me the unnecessary task of throwing away all the filtered water every other day just to clean it from the insects floating in it.

This is with reference to my complaint made 2 days before whereby the service person from RO company came and checked the machine and told us about the defect . Today ,I got to know from your company office at BHOPAL that they do not have the part and I should make confirmation from your company directly.

HERE , I WISH TO DRAW KIND ATTENTION TOWARDS THE FACT THAT THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND I GUESS THIS WOULD BE THE MORE THAN 15 TIMES IN A 11.5 MONTHS OF PERIOD.AND EACH TIME I COMMUNICATED WITH COMPANY'S OFFICER I HAVE EXPLAINED HIM THIS MUST BE THE DEFECTIVE PIECE KINDLY GET IT REPLACED BUT NO ONE RESPONDED YET.AND REPLIED NO PRODUCT HAS NO DEFECT. IN SPITE OF THESE PRODUCT WAS REPAIRED EVERY OCCASION AFTER LAPSE OF 1-2 WEEKS.

THIS REDUCED MY WARRANTY PERIOD AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE THE PRODUCT FOR 1 YEAR OF WARRANTY. FURTHER , MY REQUEST FOR REPLACEMENT OF PRODUCT WITH NEW & DEFECT FREE PRODUCT WAS NEVER ENTERTAINED.


Another issue i want to bring your kind attention that the in this regard my views on product purchased by me is defective one as many of its parts has already been replaced at many occasions and the reason why i insisted for complete replacement of the product. IN THIS REGARD EARLIER CORRESPONDENCES WITH THE COMPANY & REPETITIVE REPLACEMENTS BY THEM IS CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCES.


Here again i am standing on the same position which was existed one month ago and facing the problems due to your defective product.

THANKING YOU IN ANTICIPATION

Hi,

I receiving a Kent Water Purifier as a Wedding present 2 months back. But from the time of installation it has not worked. The customer service is pathetic and shows total apathy to grievances.First it was a problem in the valve, then filter problem . Every time the engineer mentioned that since it was not purchased by a local dealer but from another city you have to pay for the service even though the machine is within warranty period. When I escalated the matter to the regional manager after a month an engineer was sent to fix the issue. Within 2 days the machine again stopped working and now I am told its a motor problem. I am again asked to pay for the new motor Rs 1500. I have spent so much money on the machine and and calling different people in Kent that I have lost hope and left the machine as it is. Its a mere show piece in my kitchen as a replacement would be another struggle.

THIS IS TO SAY THAT MY KENT RO SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING WELL FOR THE LAST ONE WEEK.I HAVE REGISTERED COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS THRICE...TECHNICIAN VISITED ONCE AND SAID A PART HAS TO BE REPLACED .BUT HE DIDNT TURNED UP AGAIN TO REPLACE THE SAME..I AM FACING PROBLEM BCOZ OF ALL THIS.THE COMPLAINT NO. IS 17245911 AND ITS IN THE NAME OF REKHA JAIN.I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY THAT THE SERVICE IS REALLY PATHETIC.

Dear Sir,
I have purchased a RO system Aquafresh RO - Kent Model on 16/04/2011 from "Jaishree Sales Corporation" D-183, New Gopal Nagar, Near Rail Factory, Dhansha Road, Nazafgarh, Delhi - 110043.

It had Cash memo no. 629. It is with one year guarantee.

Last month on 14th Dec'11, it has stopped working. I have given a call to service man Mr. Rakesh at [protected] and Team manager Mr. Amit Sharma at [protected]. Rakesh has came and checked, it has found that pump is not workable and needs replacement. Since then they had never come even after giving calls on mutiple times. On 11th January Mr. Amit Sharma has sent an another person Mr Sudheer [protected] to check the same again. Mr. Sudheer has tried to get that checked and get it in working condition, but it has completely jammed. Mr. Amit Sharma has asked him to take the same with him and he will provide the replaced one.
Now it is again 5 days and Mr. Amit Sharma is not picking up the phone and not replying on message.
Guarantee time is getting lapsed day by day.

Request you to Kindly get into the matter to resolve the same.

I purchase kent ro from Ganga Enterprises, Samastipur inv.no. 138 dt.[protected] and AMC from m/s A.V.Enterprises, punjabi colony, samastipur sl.no. 306 dt. 6-9-11. Amt of AMC of Rs. 3900/- has been given to the firm. After AMC frequently problems occurs no action taken by the firm timely. If our problems has not cleared within week's time I will file a case to KENT RO, NOIDA in consumer forum.

A cheque was issued for renewal of AMC dated 7th Jan 2012,the same was banked on 5th Jan 2012 on purpose which was returned by bank stating post dated cheque,and return charges were debited to my account,I pride my self of ensuring that no cheque ever goes back and such has been the case for the last so many years and that I enjoy a very high credit rating. On calling up the service section as guided by the customer care Mr. Manju Kumar was spoken to who accepted the wrong banking of cheque and as such he was requested to issue a letter from his company stating this mistake and also refund the debit to my account.
It was advised that the cheque would be returned and the debit amount may please be adjusted in fresh issue of the cheque. To my surprise they again banked the cheque on 7th and I had no option but to make a stop payment as these Kent Ro persons were on to creating wrong information and being crooked in their dealing .Mr Kumar was informed that such unfair trade practices were not in line with a company of repute to which he was rude and said one can go to were he wants this is way he will act.
My complaint is that my AMC has not been renewed and the attitude behaviour leads a person to feel that an ordinary citizen of India has no voice and these big companies can get away with what they do.
I need to have my complaint addressed and the company see to it the dealings are fair and not fraudulent.

Respected Sir,

I had purchased KENT RO system on 21 Oct 2011 through CSD Canteen at Delhi Cantt.
The system was installed on 03 Nov 2011 at my above mentiobed native place. Atfter 4 days
the system started tripping on/off automatically. I registered the complaint with technician
Mr. Praveen Kumar at Panipat and he rectifyied the problem on 07/08 Nov 2011. Now the system
presently not purifying the water and also not discharging the waste water. I had again
registered the complaint with techinician Mr Praveen KUmar at Panipat on 30 Nov 2011.
The technician assured to visit on 01 Dec 2011 but fialed to visit till 03 Dec 2011.
I personally contected with technician on telephone on 03 Dec 11 and he stated that
the Campany has directed him to rectify the complaint after charging of Rs 300/- (Rupees
three hundred only) as service charge.

The said system is under warranty for one year. It is not understood how the
amount of Rs 300/- being charged whereas the system started problem after 04 days of
installation and also the equipment is under warranty.

Therefore, you are requested to send your technician immediately and rectify the
problem on priority basis.


Thanking you

He promised to deliver the machine by Wednesday 30 Nov 2011. Now he is neither picking up my phone nor called me back for delivery details.

I had registered a complaint on Grand m/c on 14.11.11. Representative of M/S Axis Consumer Services Pvt Ltd, 519B, Rabindra Sarani, Kolkata (they are authorised agent of Kent RO Systems Pvt Ltd) visited on 14th and 16th and declared that the pump needs replacement. As on today the 26th morning, the same has not been done.

I had mailed twice to Kent customer grievance but simply a forwarding message asking Sri Bagchi, ASM, Kent, Kolkata to take action have been received. I had spoken to Mr. Bagchi on 16/11, 19/11, 24/11 and 25/11 but with no real result.

I had also registered a sms complaint to [protected] on 24/11 to M/S Axis Consumer Services Pvt Ltd but no response. I’ve an AMC with M/S Exim up to 31/3/12. In this condition, I’m disgusted with the performance of M/S Axis and reluctance of Kent RO Systems Pvt Ltd and certainly not going to recommend any body for any purchase of any product of Kent. I’m regularly purchasing mineral water for last 11 days and those who have taken the AMC is least bothered, I’ve no other option than to take legal course.

very bad service since the time i have purchased kent there is a problem every month, after giving complains nobody turns up before 15 to20 days, i have changed the parts and have paid them so many times but again after 10 days there is a problem i have changed my ro also but still the problem is not solved spoke to the owner Mr Piyush Bafna but no use nobody turns up they are least bothered.

I brought kent water purifier on 11 of September and the device installed had some issue which was fixed after 20 day and then it worked only for a week and again broke down, The cost was around 15 thousand and its apiece of junk. The customer support is pathetic. I would tell advise every one not to buy this any product of kent.

I have a Kent Grand + KR[protected] purchased vide Inv No.441 dt 25/04/10 from Safe India Technologies, Chennai Ph.[protected].
I had spoken to Sh.Anupam Mishra (DGM Service,Kent, Ph[protected] on 14/09/11 regarding inability by their service engineer to reset the Filter Change Alarm in spite of the filters being changed. DGM had deputed one Mr.Ganesh, Regnl Manager(Service, Ph[protected] from Chennai to rectify it. Mr.Ganesh was also unsuccessful in trying to reset the alarm and the Choke became defective in that process (the alarm reset switch is embedded in the Choke module). SINCE THE CHOKE BECAME DEFECTIVE, the machine did not work further.
Mr.Ganesh'd brought a supposedly "NEW" choke with marking as "Tested OK" as replacement and ironically this new Choke didn't work..!! He left saying that he'd arrange a new choke the next day, and when i informed him that the old one had stopped functioning only while he tried to reset it, he promised me that i need not pay any money for the replacement choke. But the distributor who came to replace the Choke in couple of days collected Rs.800/= along with service charge of Rs.350/= saying Mr.Ganesh only asked him to collect the amt for the choke..I paid the amt though i was astounded by the double-talk from a responsible officer from Kent (Mr.Ganesh). I was also shocked when Mr.Anupam Mishra said that i was lying when i said that i'd paid for the Choke. Seems Mr.Ganesh's the one who'd lied to his DGM, and the DGM in turn without verifying the facts, had insulted me by calling me a LIAR..!! (I have the receipt for the amount..!!)
The choke was replaced on 20-09-11, but the machine shut down on 14-10-11. The distributor who'd attended said that the SMPS was faulty this time and he replaced it with a supposedly "NEW" SMPS, which any layman could say was an used one (it was brought without any packing, there were lot of scratches on the outer cover and the marking label was worn out with faded manual inscriptions of the serial number). I paid Rs.900/= for this "NEW" SMPS, and on my insistence the service engineer noted down the serial number as available in the SMPS, in my receipt . When i called the Chennai Kent office to report this matter on 18-10-11 @[protected], i was attended to by one Mr.Kalidass. He identified himself as a service engineer, and that the Chennai office wasn't a Customer Service Centre, and also rubbished my suspicions of old parts being installed as new. I was appalled by his callous and rude behaviour to me, with someone prompting near him (seems it was Mr.Ganesh when i asked Mr.Kalidass about it) finally ending the conversation saying that they both were responsible for the Chennai office and i could take the matter to wherever i wanted to.Mr.Kalidass at Chennai took down my contact number saying that he would call me back immediately with the facts, but he never called..
After i e-mailed my complaint to Kent, Mr.Anupam Mishra called me from ph[protected] on[protected] and had a lengthy conversation with me finally asking me to surrender the SMPS that they'd supplied as NEW, assuring me that they would replace it with a brand new SMPS which will be delivered to me in factory packing condition. But he never committed to refund me the amount i paid for the Choke which was broken by Kent Service Engineer.
Also i would like to highlight that Mr.Anupam Mishra conceded that there was a flaw in the basic design of the machine by integrating the compulsory-filter-change-alarm into the Choke, and also that the newer models had the filter change alarm independent of the choke.
I demand Kent to refund the amount i paid for the Choke which became defective due to the fault of their own Authorised Service Engineer. Also, i need Kent to replace the supposedly New SMPS with an actual new one.
