Kent RO Complaints & Reviews

I'd logged a service request - [protected] ten days ago with Kent Customer Care.
I'd called them five times so far. No technician visited us.
I'd called the office that installed the product three months ago at our house. No technician has visited us yet.
They assured us of free service for up to four years - not even four months, this Kent Grand Star supposedly the best as suggested by them, has stopped functioning properly. Water has been overflowing even after turning off the switch. I've closed the inlet water valve now. Amidst all the water crisis, why would they want to wait for ten days (as of 6th June) to fix an issue and they call themselves the best in the market.
Every time I'd asked for an escalation matrix, I was not provided with one. I was assured that someone from the senior team would contact me but no one till date has reached out to me. The last call I made, I was put on hold for almost 20 minutes saying that I was to be conferenced with someone appropriate, but nobody showed up.
Such pathetic services I've never seen earlier.

Its just been a month since I purchansed Kent product with serial number KR[protected]. The product is faulty. Whenever I rasie a service request, it is getting cancelled. I contacted Kent service multiple times and was promised that the issue would be escalated. I
Latest:- Its been a week with the product not working and no one turned up.

The service provided is pathetic.

I shifted my house on 2nd june and had dismantled the kent pearl. During dismantling the service engineer was quick to come within 1 hour, did nothing and took 300rs. I have raised a request to reinstall the kent pearl in new house and the agent named mansi told that the request is high priroity and served within 8 hrs. But till now no response from the service engineer. The most fraud part is the engineer basavanna who came for dismantling the request was allocated to same person and he says he does not have drilling machine and cannot come. The customer service team is totally big fraud team as they keep repeatedly saying the technician will come in 4 hrs, 8 hrs randomly.

I had purchased a kent water purifier on 5th june 2018. On 30th may 2019 i called the kent service centre as the water taste after using the filter was bad. The service technician came on 1st june and apparently sorted the problem. On 2nd june i called kent again as the water stopped coming from the filter. Kent technician paltu visited my place made me pay rs 500 for a change in iron filter. On 4th june evening my filter stopped working again, plus the water taste was not good ever since. I would like to point out, that every time i register a service request kent would send me a 5 digit otp which i would provide to the technician to close the request. This time since the request was placed from 30th may, i decided not to give the otp as the taste of water was still not good even after the change of filter. I’d clearly told him that, but he insisted that the machine was fine. On 4th june 2019 night the filter stopped working again. On calling kent they told me the warranty has expired and now i have to pay for everything. I would like to point out, firstly my first request was placed on 30th may 2019. The technician clearly had not sorted my issue or maybe was waiting for my warranty to pass and then charge me for the future repairs. This is so not fair. I am a consumer who does not have much idea about the machine. So what kent is doing is that the first one year of guarantee they just sent inferior quality technicians, to just pull through the guarantee period or maybe the technicians are trained to do that. Once the guarantee ends? They will charge extra for everything so that i’m bound to purchase the amc immediately. This is not the acceptable quality of service. If i have registered a complaint on 30th may, they should not charge me for the same problem saying that warranty has expired as they have only delayed it.

I have registered problem with Kent RO via calling on their customer care number on Friday about leakage from Tank. They have sent a technician on Saturday 01/06/2019. He has told us that there is any issue in all filters which have been blocked because of which motor / pump is not working. So he has changed all filters worth Rs. 4600. Now after 2 days, same problem appears today i.e. 04/06/2019. I have called Kent RO registered a complain. But response is "jo karke gaya wohi solve karega yeh issue". So i have called same technician, he has come and inspected again. And now he is telling motor/pump needs to replace for same issue which I have registered on friday. So, its clear case of fraud by Kent RO and its technician.

It is very disappointing to tell that the kent purifier broke down within 30 mins of the first service. The incident occured on 20/03/2019, we had called the technician for a regular service. The technician visited us and dismantled the purifier to check the filter. After assembling the purifier he was supposed to properly put back in the designated place which was installed earlier (The installation initially was also done by kent technician). After the service, within 30 mins the purifier fell down on the ground breaking the slab. The slab is completely damaged and the incident has happened only because of the irresponsibility of the technician. Due to this i had to replace the complete slab and which costed me 6000. I urge you to refund the money back as this is a faulty service from a kent technician. I have contacted kent service through email multiple times but i haven't received proper response. Hence, i am writing this to you, with the hope that you will intervene, take some kind of action and provide a solution to this nuisance.

I hv two issues but majorly i will start with technician behaviour which made insecure. He ws very rude, rijid & was carrying expired i-card. The moment he opened ro he said all parts are not working so gv me 4000/ to change the parts but we refused. Then we showed him our amc paper so he said its not from kent so gv me 300/... Jo main leke hi jaunga. I ws shocked to see his behaviour. We tried to chk amc since we allways call kent so howcome sm other person came in the name of kent. Since yday i tried 3-4 times tk chk vd any sen of kent but only today when i insisted soo much one person came on line... All kent employees are not ready to listen complaint, they are favoring kent but my query is who came to my home in feb & took 2300/...
2300 /is taken from apex as per bill... Apex is saying they were merged with kent but only 2 months bk merger got...
My most imp query... Technician who came to my home yday with expired i card & tried over smartly, very scary man... I have complaint against kent ro...

I had a complaint of water leaking from the bottom. On custome care complaint they sent service person from aqua world who suggested to replace all filter parts costing ~5 k. This was on 28th feb 2019. Just in 3 months same problem again & with same procedure, service person from different company inspected, said ro is cracked and left saying he will transfer the ticket to aqua world company. Don't understand just in 30 days product goes bad and now no response from customer care.

This is regarding frequent change in RO.

Hey, i purchased kent ro 6 months back. I stopped working 4 to 5 times in that period. Last time i called kent service technician he changed parts unnecessarily and charged me 2500 rs for that. So i purcased it for 16000 and now i have charged 2500 that too my product is in warranty. So i want to make all you aware of their # service and how this company is doing fraud with customers. Basically don't ever buy kent. You will be regretting yourself.

Hi.. The ro was overflowing without switching on the mains.. It's been more than a month we are calling and nobody coming for the service... We (Husband and wife) are both working and can only get the service on weekends but the person comes on weekdays and then cancels the request saying nobody was present... It's been 5 weeks we are not able to use ro properly... Is there any email id for grievance redressal... Please tell me the solution to this problem

Hi team,

We called ro customer service center today and technician visited. He suggested us to change the filter, as per him filter was not working properly.
When i asked warranty period for filter then he said 3 months. We checked our previous bill and figure out that we are in warranty period then he denied to replace. Can you please ask someone to visit and replace the filter.

My kent purifier filter has burst within 5 months and there is noresolution. Customer care is extremely rude and say whatever you want to do you do, we can not do anything about it. If you want you can stop using the filter (Cost 18k). I have spent more than 10k in last one year on parts and service. How can the body of the filter burst. Have the started manufacture so sub standard product?

My Kent ro membrane was changed on 11 Feb 2019 for RS 2500 and again ruptured on 25 may and was again recharged. The person in charge sahibabad Mr sriram was not willing to listen and said that it can rupture even again and if after one day after 3 months it will be recharged... The membrane was faulty in the sense that normally (even with local ro) it works for more than one year and this machine is getting so costly for me (even after AMC).. I THINKK KENT IS FOOLING PEOPLE BY BRANDNAME.

I was purchase kent sterling+ mineral ro on 23.07.2018 and installed on 26.07.2018 against inv no: kr[protected], product code" 11053 but facing leakage problem from 2nd day of installation. Within this ten months at least 20 times service engineer came to repair same but not resolved. After every alternate seven to ten days the leakage problem has persist.

I have been regular request to replace same but not care my request and send service engineer to repair it. I have already pay frequently money to replace of parts. Due to heavy leakage all my faulty product all my wooden work has been damaged. I have already loose huge money due to that.
Please do not purchase the product the product is totally faulty product

I got this product installed in january 19. Since last 1 month we have been seeing large number of ants coming out of this grand plus purifier. Service engineer visited today and said that ants being small insect can enter the purifier from anywhere. Fact is we had another purifier for 9 years and never faced such issue. My family is now exposed to this health hazard. Please take back this product and refund entire amount in cash/ online

Sir/madam,

I have purchased kent gold purifier, there is bad water smell after purification through kent gold. After repeated calls to customer care service nothing will improve even membrane of the kent gold not available in coimbatore region. At the time of technician visit on 22 apr 19 after near one month he suggest me to clear the membrane. I have done it for near 10 times but still there is some medicine like smell in water after purification.

Kent representative from pearl infotech sold amc to me on 25/06/18 which is valid till 25/06/19 without kent receipt. He gave a receipt of amc on pearl infotech receipt only. Today there was an issue with the kent system and the representative didn't want to change any filter until i renew for next one year. Though my current amc is still valid, the representative didn't want to change any filter saying everything is fine. As per agreement with amc, multiple services were promised and full free replacement of the parts. It is almost one year and no one wants to do the service if we already have amc. Looks like this a big fraud of just collecting the money and not show up for one year until renewal.

No response from Kent Support after replacement of parts, robbed my Rs. 4050 without any problem in my system and replaced faulty parts. Now, taste of water is not up to the mark. Very Poor support from kent. They also sent wrong text messages about support, they also asked for feedback without any technician visit and generates new one on poor feedback and declears tesolve from their end only.

Installation person come and fixed o date of[protected] machine not proper fixed and after 3 hours machine (Kent ro) not working water level not increased inner motor noise will come after i complaint to customer care he mentioned 18-5-19 date 11 am service engineer has to come and attend but after 6pm nobody is come worst service and worst company i have to be taken action with consumer court in legal action.
